Polisis regiment that came to assist the Lancers
could do nothing, being pushed back on the sand
bills by the fugitives. General Manderstern re-
turned at night to his position with his prisoners ;
the wounded were left on the field. Among the
killed were eight officers—two of them of high
rank. We have to lament the loss of Lieutenant
Kabiakoff, of the Staff: he advanced too far at the
beginning of the action, and was killed with six men.
Accounts just received from the Government of
\Vilna say,that the Cossacks of the Line had dispersed
a band of insurgents that had assembled in Orcha-
niana; 350 were killed and 150 taken prisoners—so
that tranquillity was completely restored at that
point.
Warsaw speaks of letters
The State Gazette of
from the district of Hinbieszow, saying, that news
had been received there of another defeat of Gene.;
ral Rudiger, rear Lack, by Dxerriecki, and the Vol-
bynian insurgents under Czacki ; the paper thinks
that if no official account of General Dwernecki has
been received, it is because the communication on
the right bank of the Vistula is impeded by the dz.-
feat of General Sierawski at Wronow and riazi-
miez, and the march of Davidow's corps to the Bug.
The same paper says that favourable news had
been received from the province of Augustow.
Major Puszet has freed three districts, and assem-
bled 4,800 men. General Oginski, with an army
of 15,000 men, is going to meet the Guards, which
set out on the 12th from Lomza for Lithuania.
The Warsaw Gazette says, it is reported that the
Russians are fortifying Lomza, and that the Grand
Duke Michael has again sent part of the Guards
over the Niemen.

Letters from Brody say that General Dwernecki
had entered Druzkopel, on the frontiers of Gallicia,
with 12,000 men.

BERLIN, APRIL 30.—Private letters from Warsaw
of the 26th April say, that positive news had been
received there that on the same day hostilities had
recommenced between the two armies. The Polish
head-quarters, which were on the 25th at Jaknbow,
are said to have been on the following day at Minsk.

BRUS.ELS, MAY I.—The Regent has ordered
Colonel Borremans to be struck out of the list of
the army, because it appears from the evidence on
his trial that he bad received a bribe. Borremans
will be removed in a few days to the prison of St.
Bernard.

A Cabinet Messenger of our Government arrived
yesterday with despatches from London, which are
supposed to announce the refusal of the Prince of
Saxe Coburg to accept the Crown of Belgium.
Some of nur Papers say the negociations are not yet
broken off.

MoNs, s.—The examination of nearly 150
witnesses on the affairs of the incendiaries and plun-
derers, brought before the Court of Asites at
Mons, is ended to-day. The public prosecutor sup-
ported the accusations; several of the charges are
capital. Nearly 2,000 questions are submitted to
the Court. M. Neck, in an extemporary pleading
of six hours, which was attended to with profound
attention, repelled all the charges against twelve of
the prisoners for whom he is counseL—Brussels

CITY OF CHESTER.

(FROM ♦ CORRESPONDENT.)

On Friday morning last the Right Hon. R. Grosvenor,
and Cunliff Offley, Esq., two staunch Reformers, were
elected for this city without the least opposition. It is
quite impossible for words to describe the gratifying man-
ner in which this election took place. Almost every
elector in the city assemb'ed on this occasion ; and although
the most wily efforts bad been made by the Anti-ReformtTe;
to Introduce distention among their opponents;- yet not a
voice was raised against the return of the above gentlemen
on the election.

iIN T Y.
The return ^f two Reformers, Lord Bel rate and
Georre
ilbralaam, Esq., is now certain. Lord Henry
k..,bolmondeley is destined to experience a most signal
defeat.

CHESTER, MAY 7.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUA:

SIA,—To add to the gratification of yourself and the
friends of Reform, I beg to inform you that we yesterday
achieved our expected victory in this city, by returning
Mr. Cuuliffe Of in conjunction with the Hon. it.
Grosvenor. So completely was the Tory party here sub-
dued
and prostrate, that amongst a body of voters and in.
habitants of not less than 2,000 persons, assembled in the
hall at the time of the election, only two persons offered
the slightest opposition, even by words ; the one an oppo-
nent of Mr. Grosvenor, and the other of Mr. Offley.
The latter proposed our late Tory Member, Sir P. Eger-
ton, but he could not find even a seconder, cu which the
Sheriffs declared the election to have taken place. Ou
the bare mention of Sir P. Egerton's name, the most tre-
mendous burst of hisses and disapprobation ensued, and
this is probably the last time this young Baronet's name
will be introduced in relation to our civic elections. Both
the Members pledged themselves in the strongest terms to
the Bill, and, in conclusion, three hearty cheers were
given for our most beloved Monarch, and the like for his
wise and patriotic Ministers, and three groans for Lord
henry Cholmondeley, of Castle-Rising notoriety, and who
now presumes, with the aid of the Charles-street conspi-
rators, to come forward as a candidate for the county, in
opposition to Lord Belgrave and Mr. Wilbraham. We
are, however, most confident of heating this gang in the
person of their nominee, and think he will hardly venture
to " come to the scratch" on Friday next.

The Denbighshire election ended yesterday in the re-
turn of the old Member, Sir W. W. Wynn. A most for-
midable opposition was raised and proceeding, when the
Hon. Baronet fairly wept and lamented over his sins of
indiscretion in supporting Gascoyne's motion, pleading
his ignorance as to its insidious effect, and in the most
strong and pointed language pledged himse:f to support
the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill, on
which the opposition was withdrawn, the object being at
tabled, and the Baronet made fully sensible that his only
claim for the future support of the Denbighshire free-
holders is his plain, straight-forward, and uniform sup-
port of Reform and liberal measures. I must apologize
for the great length to which this letter has extended, and
repeat that I am your':, &c. A REFORMER.

EDINBURGH, MAY 5.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,-Perhaps you may think the following exemplifi-
cation of feeling here, regarding -Reform, worthy of loser.
Lion in your Newspaper :
After the election of Mr. W. Dundee to be Member
for the City some popular excess was expected to take
place, and between eight and nine in the evening I went
oat to see what was going on. I directed my steps towards
the western end of Queen-street, in consequence of hearing
31r. Dundas intended to meet his friends at dinner at the
British Hotel, situated there, and of seeing a very consi.
derable assemblage of persons in that direction. On
reaching the spot I found dragoons and infantry, as well as
a strong body of police, present; and on mingling with
the crowd 1 found it to be formed of persons curious
as to what would happen, and of many of the labouring,
not respectable class of this town— I mean the crowd was
not composed of idle boys and rabble—caused riot during
the night. Accidentally I happened to stand next N an in-
telligent pale little man, I suspect a shoemaker, and of
him I asked the cause of the assemblage there. I received
a dry reply. I talked on other subjects, for I liked the
look of my friend, and his state of excitement made me
curious. On recurring to the subject I found the vicinity
of Mr. Dundee's (of Arniston) house was the object, and
that his windows were expected to be broken. My re-
monstrance, that such conduct was injurious to a good
cause, was replied to by saying, the higher ranks possessed
means of expressing their opinions, the lower did net. 1
reminded my companion, the working class of Edinburgh
had already contradicted the assertions of Sir Charles Forbes
in the most explicit manner ; but he told me, with much
warmth, that the Duke of Buccleugh had said all the Scots
people wanted was cheap whisky ; but that they knew
better—they knew well the Bill proposed would give
them nothing; but that it would place their interests in
the hands of those who felt as they did. This I could
not, nor did I wish to, contradict ; therefore I bad my
friend good evening, and went my way to see what, was
going on elsewhere.
Unfortunately Mr. Dundas 's win-
dows were broken, and I cannot help suspecting my pale
shoemaker was not altogether idle.
am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OBSERVER.
