BURGH PAPERS.

ST. PETERSBURG, Maacit 9.—On the 6th instant his
Imperiii Highness the Grand Duke Michael set out from
this city for Kowno.

Various promotions in the army have been made by his
Majesty. Major •General Pwince Gortschakoff has ob-:
tained the rank of Lieutenant-General, for his distinguished
conduct in the battles with the Polish rebels.
By a resolution of the Council of the Empire, confirmed
by the Emperor, it is ordered tbs.', to facilitate the raising
of the recruits in those provinces where the authorities
shall think it necessary, the nu►Nber of persons appointed
to receive them shall be increased. It is also ordered that
in future individuals may be taken as recruits who have lost
two of their front teeth, or are blind of one eye, whether
the right or the left.

WARSAW, MARCH 14.--The Warsaw State Gazette
gives the following news :—" On the 9th the Russians
retired from Praga to Wawer. In this village are the
head-quarters of General Geismar, who has the command
of the Russian troops remaining near Warsaw. On the
following day our General (Jankowski) advanced to
Wawer, to reconnoitre the enemy's position. The cavalry
of Augustow dispersed a corps of Cossacks, which co-
vered the Russian army. On this occasion we had two
men killed and 20 wounded. Among the wounded are
two Staff Officers. It appeared that the enemy still occu-
pied his frontiers, with 15 or 20,000 infantry, cavaliT,
and artillery. The ice on the Vistul4 has begun to
up, and the water has risen eleven inches. On the llth
it carried away three pontoons of the bridge over the Vis-
tula. News was received yesterday that General Dwer-
nicki had again broken a Russian battalion, and taken two
cannon..

Col. Dzealkowski announces in the same paper that the
Commander-in-Chief had commissioned him to negotiate
the exchange of Lieut.-Col. Spendowski, who was severely
wounded and taken prisoner by the Russians, and that
General Korff had, in the most obliging manner, signified
the consent of General Geismar.

The Warsaw Gazette says that he has since been ex=
changed for the Russian Lieut.-Col. Butowiez.
An official bulletin of General Krasinski, Governor of
the fortress of Z noose, dated the 7th, gives an account of
a successful expedition of part of his garrison. Two Rus-
sian dragoons bring taken prisoners, who were sent from
Lulbin by General Kreutz to General Balbekow, in Dubi-
enki, with orders to assemble immediately the Russian re-
serve battalions in Volltynia, and to proceed with them by
forced marches to the corps of General Creutz at Lublin.
To hinder the Governor of Zamose resolved to un-
dertake the above-mentioned expedition to Uscilug.
It was perfectly successful. The young Polish soldiers
rushed impetuously into Uscilug, where they bad to take
every house by storm. They gained a complete victory,
taking 360 prisoners, including Lieut.-Col. Bohomolec
(wounded), and eight subalterns, ten horses, one standard,
300 muskets, &c. The enemy left seventy dead on the fief.
We had ten killed and four wounded. This expedition from
Zatnosc to Uscilug, and back, was executed in three days
in perfect order.

The Polish Courier states that the corps of Prince
Schchoffski is assembling in the vicinity of Plock.
The Posen Gazette of the 15th contains the following
article :—" According to the accounts given by travellers
worthy of credit, who left Warsaw but a few days ago, the
terrorists now prevailed there, at the head of whom is the
General-in-Chief, Skrzyoecki, an extremely impetuous
man, who has resolved to combat to the last extremity...—
This disposition, however, is not shared by the inhabi-
tants of Warsaw. The Russian main army is supposed to
be between Plock and Alodlin, about Wyszagrod. Only a
corps of observation remains before I'raga. The south-
east part of the kingdom of Poland is said to be entirely
left by the Russians, and General Dwernicki with his five
corps, it is reported, scours the country beyond Lublin to
the neighbourhood of Uscliug. Chlopieki is said to have
left Warsaw.

Private letters from Warsaw of the Sth, in the Breslau,
Gazette, say it was thought that Count Diebitsch, as he
Las not yet made any serious attempt to cross the Vistula,
is waiting for the Guards, which crossed the frontiers of
Poland on the let, at Kaueu (Kovno), road, considering
the had roads, can hardly reach the vicinity of Warsaw
before the 20th."

POLISH FIIGNTIICILS, MARCH 13.—1 t is said that early
on the 11 th all the Polish officers on the frontier near
Allawa disappeared, that the Polish civil officers left the
torn, and that Russian troops were expected on the
11th.—Prussian State Gazette.
