Extract of a letter, dated Durham, April 11:
_—lt may not, perhaps, be uninteresting to you to know,
that so far as the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND'S anti-bill
petition has been a miserable failure in the towns of New-
castle and North Shields. I was in the former place
this morning, and heard it stated, on the authority of his
Grace's professional agent, to whose management the pe-
tition was intrusted, that it was " a decided failure" in
that town ; and I was subsequently informed, by a gen-
tleman who had seen it, that after lying at Donswonnes
three day%including the market-day, it had not received
100 signatures ! His worship the Mayor of Newcastle
(Mr. A Rican), I understand, was the first subscriber;
and he said he put his name to it because be had signed
the petition for Reform agreed to at the meeting of the
inhabitants of Newcastle, and he would also sign the
Duke's, to show that he was determined to be neutral!"

BERLIN, APRIL 7.

From the Times Private Correspondent.)
There has lately been a report that Nichatts has expressed
himself in angry terms respecting General Diebiisch, and that
he is about to withdraw the command from him, and to Confer
it on General Geismar. A gentleman lately arrived from Po-
land gives the most flattering account of the Russian army, and
states it as it as his decided opinion, that they must by this time
have passed the Vistula. I must, however, observe that the en-
gagement near Waivr was posterior to this gentleman's depar.
use. It is said that the Russian Ambassador at Dresden refuses
to sign any passports for those Polish artisans who wish to re.
turn to their country, but that in order to prevent them from
complaining, he gives to each of therti a florin a day. There ap-
pears to be no truth in the assertion which was repeated by seve-
ral of the German papers, that the Poles, in case of defeat, in-
tended to abandon their native land. A Warsaw paper ridicules
the idea, and asserts that all the patriots are resolved to Lye
free, or to die on the land of their ancestors. The Polish papers,
and indeed several private letters, dwell with pleasure on the
courage and enthusiasm of the patriots. Several instances
are recorded : I shall confine myself to two which relate to
the great battle of the 25th of February. 14colonski one of
the richest proprietors in the Duchy of Posen, had Criested as a
cannonier in a brigade of artillery. In the heat of the actiell
was dangerously wounded. The Commanding Officer seeing
him fall, ordered him to be carried out of the ranks, but the
bras e soldier, perceiving the IT ementary inaction of the artillery,
roused up, bleeding from head to fOot, and pointing to the cannon,
" Friends," cried he, "to the work, lam libt dead." Rodonski
has received from the Generalissimo the military cross. The
other fact is of a somewhat different nature, but not less ihteree.
ing. Just at the awful moment when the memorable battle of
Grochow was about to commence, Ziol Kowakia, chaplain to the
second Regiment of horse, rushed forward in front of the Polish
troops, and, holding a crucifix in his hand, addressed to the sol-
diers a short but eloquent exhortation. He called upon them in
the name of their God, and of their country', alid by every tie
dear to a Polish heart, to persevere that day to the career they
had so nobly commenced. Ziol KOwekia remained the whole
day on the field of battle, mixed in the hottest part of the engage-
ment, and was repeatedly seen, even under the tremendous tire
of the enemy, occupied either in animating the combatants, in
healing the wounded, or in receiving the last breath of the dying'
soldier.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Afessager des Chambres of Wednesday.)

It is reported that the Poles have gained a new and important
victory over the Russians at Grochow; that the corps of General
Geismar has been entirely destroyed, and he himself severely
wounded and a prisoner ; that Marshal Diebitseh, hard pressed
on all sides by the Polish army and the peasantry, was shtit up in
the marshes, and reduced to a most critical position. The result
of this fresh success is said to be no fewer than 6,000 prisoners and
26 pieces of cannon.
MILITARY OPERATIONS IN POLAND.

The combats of the 31st of Ilfarch iriertt the admiration of
Europe. The Polish Generalissimo has just executed a master-
stroke, by throwing himself suddenly into the midst of the Russ
sian cantonments, to crush separately the bodies of the opposing
armies. This movement, bold without being rash, is that of a
mans of head and execution. Skrzynecki (pronounced Skreji-
netski) fell on Diebitsch at an advantage, cut his line, and put to
the sword many of the troops of the Generals Geismar and Rosen,
whilst the Russian General-in-Chief was unable to convey any
assistance to them, or even to send them instructions. The news
of the rout must have arrived at the same time as that of the at-
tack, at Siennica, the head-quarters of Diebitsch.
Skrzynecki passed the Vistula on the bridge of boats from
Warsaw to Praga, on the nights of the 30th and 31st. Before
the break of day he had carried the entrenchments which com-
mand the cantonment of General Geismar. At noon the Poles
drove back, for the second time, the same division of the army
which had rallied at Milosna, three leagues distant, in that forest
which was disputed in the fights of the 19th of February. At
five o'clock the Poles encountered the second line of the Russian
encampments, formed by the corps of General Rosen and the re-
mains of that of Geismar, occupying at Dembewielki, seven
leagues from Warsaw, another entrenched position. The fight
lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, because the Polish Ge-
neral was obliged to wait the coming up of his columns to obtain
a decisive result, and the Russians thought they had only to
resist a surprise, a coup de main, after which the Poles relied on
retaking the road to Warsaw.
But the operation of Skrzynecki was more serious. He aimed
at cutting the Russian army into pieces, and he succeeded. The
two bodies of Geismar and Rosen retreated at ten o'clock in the
evening on Minsk, in complete rout. The disorder of this re-
treat
in the night must have been excessively disastrous. Several
regiments lost all order, as always happens on a field of battle,
and much material was lest on the roads. Doubtless the Poles,
on the following day, on reaching Minsk, collected on the roads
much precious spoil—cannons, arms, ammunition chests, and se-
veral prisoners. On the 31st they hadi already taken 3,000 pris
soners and six pieces of cannon.
If General Diebitsch was still in head-quarters at Siennica at
the moment of this brilliant affair, he would find himself entirely
thrown out by the occupationjof Minsk by the Poles. Deprived
of two of his divisions, whose remains will be forced to retreat
on the Bug, he will be obliged to retreat himself on his left, into
the palatinate of Lublin.
The march of the reinforcements of the Imperial Guards, who
are advancing towards Ostrolenka by the palatinate of Angus-
towo, on the extreme right, will be of course suspended at the
news of the disasters of the centre. It will require at least a
month for the Russian army to effect an union, to join its dif-
ferent corps, and form a plan of general operation. On his side,
General Skrzynecki will no longer be compelled to keep on the
defensive in the vicinity of Warsaw and Praga. He may take
up his line on the Livice,
.fifteen or twenty leagues beyond the
capitaL At all events he is in possession of the offensive for at
least a month. The Polish General has been not only fortunate
and hold, but he has displayed, in the conception and execution
of a most well-judged plan, the talents of a great Captain.
FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, MARCH 17.—Since the suppres-
sion of the Albanian insurrection, Redschid Pasha has devoted
himself with the greatest earnestness to the advancement of his
private interests, and has paid very little attention to public
affairs. The tranquillity which appeared everywhere to exist,
and the false assurances of fidelity daily given by the chieftains
of the Albanian and Bosnian tribes, so completely lulled him
into security, that he had not the slightest apprehension of the
plots which the Pachas of Scutari and Travnik hatched almost
before his eyes, and which have for their object nothing less
than the dethroning of the Sultan. While neither Redschid
Pacha, nor any of the persons about him dreamed of the
danger which was threatening the Vizier or the Sultan, one
of the most formidable rebellions which ever visited the
Turkish empire suddenly broke out. The whole of
Albania, Bosnia, and part of Macedonia are in insurrec-
tion. The Pacha of Scutari is at the head of the movement.
He has gone to the frontiers of Albania and Macedonia, and as-
sembled a corps there, with which he is to march on Constanti-
nople, while the Pacha of Travnik, with his troops and several
thousand Bosnians, is marching against Redschid Paella. Red-
chid cannot possess sufficient means for his own defence, and as
to his making a movement in favour of the threatened capital,
that is quite out of the question. In a word, the situation of the
Sultan is most serious. The re-establishment of the Janissaries
is the rallying cry of the rebels, who are said to be instigated by
foreign influence. The regular troops, on which the Sultan per-
haps can alone rely, are barely sufficient to hold Constantinople
in check, if the insurrection has ramifications there. Indeed,
these troops have, on every occasion, shown less courage than the
irregular militia, who are excited by their fanaticism and rapa.
city to vengeance and plunder.
The east will thus again become the object of political inte-
rest; but unfortunately:it will also again be the theatre of a most
melancholy ellbsion of blood.
Hitherto the Sultan had dela; ed, to all appearance designedly,
the payment of the war contributions to Russia, and he also en-
deavours, by starting all kinds of difficulties, to avoid the rein-
corporation of the detached districts with Servia.
Upon the whole, since the departure of the Russian army, he
has carried his head very high, and he seems to forget that his
existence has been protracted solely by the moderation of Russia.
The warlike preparations, which have for some time past been
made by the Porte, are chiefly confined to the naval service, and
appeal to be connected with an extensive plan.

NEW YORK PAPERS.
We have received New York Papers to the 17th of March.
They contain a great quantity of letters from Mexico and south
America. We have not room for more than the following ex-
tracts :--

" CARTHAGENA, FEB. 18.—The Bogota mail has arrived
to-day. In that capital there are rumours of a revolution; but
though denunciations have been made, nobody has been pro-
ceeded against. Measures have been adopted for security, and if
persons are found disposed to revolt, blood will flow.
" It is stated that the people of Sabana do not want Urdaneta.
By letters from Popayan we know that Obando and Lopez have
1,600 disposable troops, and were marching over the Cauca on the
25th of January. Murquera was waiting for them with troops,
partly from this place • and although they do not amount to tirlo
men, success is hoped for here, in spite of the General-in-Chief
having given an assurance that a battalion, and most of the
officers, are liberals, and were determined to desert to Obando.
The Junin battalion, commanded by General Florez, auxiliary to
Obando and Lopez, had arrived at lbarra. Florez has marched
in :person to defend himself against General Luis Urdaneta,
who, it appears, had gone to attack him. The troops of Vene-
zuela have not crossed the line. Moreno continues to molest the
department of Boyaca.

"In this province, Savanalarga, Soledad, Barraquilla, Santo
Tomas, and two other towns, have declared for the constitution
of 1830, and the legitimate freAdent and Vice-President and
General Montilla and do Francisco. Lieutenant-Colonel Her-
nandez, of Carthagena, took the park of artillery of Barran-
quilla, where have been found about 7,000 muskets, a quantity of
cartridges, &c., provided to await the affairs of Cordova snd
Santa Martha. General Luque set out a few days ago against
them, with the 156 soldiers of the Pinchincha battalion ; and yes-
terday went Yaquachi, with 168. You need not doubt that these
two corps will be destroyed, if, as is affirmed, the movement is
made by the people.
" In the night, it is said, a chasqui arrived from Savanas, with
information that Cororal, Carmen, Since, and other towns have
declared like Soledad, &c. Finally, we shall see the results, if
what I am strongly assured of be true, that a formal and well-
combined declaration has been made by all the provinces, in-
cluding Mompox and Santa Martha."

(From the New Orleans Courier, Feb. 28.)
MEXICO- —Official news of the capture of General Vicente
Guerrero was received in this city yesterday, by the schooner
Emperor, from Tampico.
" EXTRACT OF ♦N OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM HUATALCO, DATED
TILE 24TH OF JANUARY, 1831, BY CAPTAIN MIGUEL GONZALEZ, TO

HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF WAR :--.
" I had an interview yesterday with Guerrero on board the
Colombo, where before I arrived he had been acting in the most
singular manner, soliciting most pressingly that he should not be
assassinated, if it were only (said he) for the sake of his family;
that his wish was to be carried into a port of the Republic, and
placed at the disposition of the general Government, &c. This
man was persuaded that he would be murdered immediately, and
when he was informed that a Captain of the army was there
wishing to see him, he could not believe it; having opened the
door, he threw himself on his knees,trembling, and appeared like
a man wh'o expected his death-blow. Seeing this, I began to ap-
pease and quiet him, until I found him composed and willing to
proceed on the march. As Guerrero is quite destitute of clothes,
having with him but those he wears, I have requested the Com-
mandant-General Garcia Conde to have a bed prepared for him
at Oajaca, having provided him in the mean time, from my own
means, all the necessaries for their journey.' "
