POLISH INTREPIDITY.

WARSAW, 111 A I' 16.
The Russian army has again advanced somewhat
nearer to Warsaw, part of which, with the Guards,
have marched in the direction of Plock.

On the 13th instant, a considerable Polish force,
under the Commander•in-Chief, made a forced march
Of eight German miles, and the head-quarters were
On that day established at Jablonna, and on the
evening of the 14th at Serock, about eighteen miles
(English) from Praga, and now at Pultusk. With
this party, forming the right wing of the Russian
army, intelligence of a battle is daily expected ; its
Issue will, no doubt add fresh laurels to Polish
valour.

The main Polish army is considerably advanced
beyond Pultusk. Dembi-Wielki is occupied, beyond
which point the Russians are not likely to advance :
they have already suffered here severely on two
several occasions, and refused to give battle on the
28th ultimo, although demonstrations to that effect
were made by their main army.
la addition to the affair in Kock, detailed in the
Commander-in-chief's despatch of the 'llth instant,
a report has reached us, that our troops met those
of the enemy under General Witt, between Ka-
rnienka and Lubartou, where the latter was dis-
persed. On the same date (the 12th instant),
Pulawy was again in possession of the Poles, from
Whence a distant cannonade was heard at noon.
General Chrzaatowski is said to have cut his way
through the united forces of the enemy, probably
the corps of Kreutz and Witt, and gone in the di-
rection of Zamosc with a force of 8,000 men, from
Which fortress he will receive reinforcements, and
Penetrate into Volhynia and Lithuania. This news
is believed, but still requires confirmation.
The enclosed document from the Lithuanian in-
surgents to the National Government is of great in-
terest, and will impart strong emotions to all who
Prize independence. Thesevents in Lithuania, you
Will remark, are detailed to the 20th of April, on
Which day, according to information brought here on
the 13th inst., a battle took place.
The insurgents encamped near Kernowy, twenty-
I ',even English miles from \Vilna, on the road to
4-own°. The Russians advanced against them with
four battalions, four hundred cavalry, and four
cannons. Prince Oginski and Count Charles Z -
, luski commanded the insurgents. The Samogitian
i,P.fantry was commanded by Bilewicz, and the
upitsehe cavalry by Pt zeciszewski. The combat
"tended to Owsianiszki, and continued the whole
a `!'s.Y. Vincent Matusziewics brought succours to the
Lithuanians during the combat, in which the Rus-
sians were beaten, and compelled to retreat with
great loss.

A general enthusiasm reigns throughout the Polish
Province of Samogitia. All the male population are
under arms : they swear, on the tombs of their fore-
fathers, to shed the last drop of their blood rather
than submit to the Russian yoke.
Even children of twelve years of age are armed
With scythes and axes. The news communicated
,t° them that several insurgents have been shot in
%Vilna has had the effect of increasing the courage
alal exertions of the inhabitants. The clergy ani-
Mato them with the spirit of liberty; they preach
iti the fields ; their pathetic discourses operate on
the heart, and dispose the hearers to brave glorious
ueath. The women partake of the same feelings,
some of whomfear not to travel many leagues to
bring their husbands the necessaries of life.
It is therefore clear, from the conduct of the Sa-
Illogitians and Lithuanians, and the known senti-
ments of others, that all the provinces formerly be-
-1 •
kingdom
to Poland will make common cause with the
Emperor
of Poland. The ferocious ukases of the
of Russia do but increase their hatred, and
render opposition more determined : the measure of
°Ppression was full, life became a burden, and liberty
(r glorious death must result from the contest.
Troops are already on the route to Lithuania, as
also experienced officers and subalterns, to discipline
the volunteers, who you will perceive must be for-
Midable, as well in physical force as the spirits that
animate them.
" TO THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
"I have the honour to announce to the National Go-
vernment, that General Chrzanowski occupies Kock,
where he fell in with the rear-guard of the Russian General
41'1"nen, composed of Cossacks, and of the cavalry regi-
-ants of Czarnamorski and Attamanski, which are con-
3idered as the elite of the Russian light cavalry. This
rearguard also consisted of many detachments, making
Part of the 3d corps of the cavalry of reserve.
" "Without the loss of a single soldier General Chrza-
c4wski made 158 prisoners in Kock, among whom are
'our Officers. He has taken also sixteen baggage waggons,
loaded
with various military effects, and another carrying

ble quantity of cloth also fell into his possession. An

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 27, 1831.

We are delighted at being able to announce
fresh successes on the part of the Poles against
their barbarous oppressors. General CHRZA-
NOWSKI having received orders from the Com-
mander-in-Chief to march to Zamosc with a
corps of 8,000 men, for the purpose of causing
a diversion in Volhynia, and replacing General
DWERNICKI, who was forced to retire into Gal_
licia—an avowedly neutral territory, but whose
neutrality was violated in the most scandalous
manner by the Russians, with the connivance of
Austria—chose the shortest way, by penetrating
through the enemy's positions through Kock,
Lubartow, and Kranistaw. The General's ex
pedition was accomplished in the most, spirited,
dexterous, and successful style. He not only
made forced marches of eighty-one miles

(English) in three days, but beat the Rus-
sians in three several battles, and brought eight
hundred prisoners to Zamosc on the 12th
instant. The fate of the hero and his gallant
corps excited much anxiety, as it was known that
he was surrounded by the enemy's force, amount-
ing to twenty-four thousand men, and was be-
sides cut off from all succour for a whole week.
In addition to these accounts, intelligence
from Warsaw mentions that the insurrection
in Lithuania progresses ; that the peasantry
are more determined than ever in the opposition
to the Russian \'oke ; and that in particular
throughout the Polish province of Samogitia, all
the male population are under arms, and
swear on the tombs of their forefathers to
shed the last drop of blood in their veins
rather than submit to Russian despotism.
We hope France and England will see the
ne-
cessity of promptly interfering in behalf of pa-
r triots like these, so worthy in every respect of
the most extended blessings of freedom. It

would be a shame on both countries never to
be forgotten, never to be wiped away, were
Poland again to be enslaved. NICHOLAS
by all accounts is resolved to proceed to
the last extremity—if one army is exter-
minated, he has threatened to send another
—if that second is destroyed, he is resolved to

send a third—in fact, to persevere in this con-
test till either Poland submits, or Russian
means are exhausted. Surely, under such cir-
cumstances, neither France nor England can
hesitate as to the course they should adopt.
They are bound by every principle of honour,
duty, and even expediency, to interfere at once
in behalf of Poland, and put a stop to any further
effusion of blood. A late article in the
Journal des Debals, which has caused con-
siderable sensation at Paris, would seem to
countenance the idea that the cause of Poland
will be warmly taken up by France; and though
the agents of the Ministry have partially endea-
voured to explain away, or at least to soften
this construction, still enough is left to warrant
the supposition that France at length is waking to
a sense of what justice and honour demand of her.

We have received this morning St. Peters-
burgh Journals to the 12th instant, Prussian
to the 22d, and Dutch to the 26th. It will be
seen that the Russian account of the defeat of
DwERNICKI omits all mention of the disgrace-
ful violation of the Austrian territory, though it
states that a division of Dragoons had been
ordered to turn the right flank of
the Poles,
and to cut off their retreat towardsPodhoa Ls'
Podolia—
that is, in other words, they marched into the
Austrian territory, thereby violating its neu-
trality, in order to accomplish their purpose !
This account but too clearly confirms the
report of General DWERNICKI in all its par-
ticulars, and demonstrates the bad faith of
Austria, and the dishonourable conduct of
Russia beyond the possibility of contradiction.
Austria will

France and England can tolerate any
the culpable connivance of Austria and the
perfidious demonstrations of Prussia. Let these
mock-neutral Powers be called on at once to de-
clare themselves on the Polish question, and
that unequivocally. Let not their covert acts be
marked by professions of synip thy for the brave
Poles, while their uniform conduct betrays the
most inveterate hostility not only to the cause
of Poland, but to the dissemination of
liberal principles throughout Europe. It is
idle for France to expect any forbearance from
Russia, civility from Austria, or politeness from
Prussia, if the Poles be subdued. Why, then,
hesitate where promptitude is a twofold virtue—
by restoring the independence of Poland, and
securing the blessings of liberty tl France—the
world. If Louis PHILIPPE but reflect—he

will tremble at the consequences of his present
policy ; let him but demonstrate his strength—
even to action—and Poland is re-established,

and his own throne secured by the gratitude of a

Free people :
ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY 7.—His Majesty the Emperor

has received a report, 'announcing that the Government of
Volhynia has been entirely cleared of the Polish rebels
who had entered it, under the command of General Dwer-
nicki. Lieut.-General Rudiger, after having granted to
his troops the repose of which they had need, after having
defeated the corps of Dwernicki, on the 19th of April,
near Rommel, resolved to march against the rebels, to
attack them, and drive them to the Austrian frontier.
Accordingly he made his arrangements fur the execution
of this plan. After having deprived them of eve' y means
of maintaining their ground in the Government of Vol.
Ifynia, and propagating. the revolt, the General pursued
them without intermission, and forced them to retreat to
the frontiers of Gallicia. On the 26th of April General
Dwernicki occupied, near the frontier, a position on the
heights, near the cavern of Luli. General Rudiger,
leaving the village of Moskalewki, marched towards
that of Koulish, to attack the rebels. The difficulty
of the road, intersected by deep ravines and defiles, which
were to be passed in sight of the enemy, delayed the move-
ment of our troops. On the 27th, at day-break, Lieut.-
General Rudiger led them to action ; the infantry in two
columns fell on the centre and left wing of the position of
the rebels, the 3d division of hussars, with three regiments
of the first division of dragoons, bad been ordered to turn
their right flank, and to cut off their retreat towards the
Government of Podolia. A road through a wood leading
to the position of the rebels, and by which they might
have fallen back upon Radzewillow, was occupied by part
of our infantry, and the Kargopol regiment of dragoons.
The rebels, preserving their position, seemed as if they
intended to accept the combat, but at the moment that our
infantry and cavalry made an impetuous attack—the first
after having passed two deep ravines, and the second after
turning the left flank of the enemy's positionthe latter

immediately gave way, and saved themselves in all haste
in the Austrian territory, to the frontiers of which they
were pursued by our cavalry. On this occasion we killed
a great number of them, and took nearly 200 prisoners.
The flight of Dwernicki into Austria was the only
means that could possibly have saved his corps
from complete destruction. General Rudiger was soon
informed that, according to the conditions imposed by the
Austrian authorities in Gallicia on General Dwernicki
and his corps, they were to lay down their arms and
undergo quarantine, according to the regulations which
those authorities would prescribe.
CRONSTADT, MAY B.—Our road being quite clear of
ice on the 4th, the flag announcing the opening of the
navigation was hoisted at half-past ten on the fort of Crons-
lot and the Custom-house at Cronstadt.

On the 6th the first foreign ship arrived from sea, it is
a Danish ship, the Seks Lodskinde, Captain Matthiessen,
in 94 days from Messina, with a cargo of fruit.
On the Bth, 56 foreign ships had arrived at Cronstadt
On the 6th, above 400 ships bad already arrived at Riga.
WARSAW, MAY 16.—The Warsaw Gazette of this

day says, up to this moment we have no offici d accounts
of the events of the last days, and especially of a battle
fought by General Chrzauowski, near Lubartow, respect.
ing which there have been reports in circulation for some
days past. The movements undertaken by Count Diebitsch
on his left wing, are said to have led to manoeuvres on our
side, which, however, have hitherto been executed without
obstacle, and without leading to any important event. The
action which took place on the 13th, near Kaluszyn, was
between inconsiderable detachments, on our side were the
Grenadier regiment, formerly of the Guards, the 3d Chas-
seurs, and part of the Cavalry of General Utninski's corps.
It is stated that the Russians began the action, and chiefly
the regiments of the Lithuanian and Vol hynian guard, which
at the breaking out of the revolution were in Warsaw, and
now fight against us with the greatest inveteracy. Our
Grenadiers made an attack with the bayonet, and caused
the enemy to sust sin a considerable loss. We did not suffer
much, but the loss of Major Serkoroski of the Grenadier
regiment is much to be lamented. Lieut.-Colonel Nie-
wenglowski, who commanded that regiment, has been
brought to Warsaw, having received a contusion.
The letter sent by General Prondzynski to the Chief of
the Staff of the Russian army, by order of the Gene-
ralissimo, has been returned, as we hear, unsealed to our
advanced posts. It is also said that Count Diebitsch has
declined the proposal for an exchange of prisoners.
The Warsaw State Gazette has the following news:—
" FRO3I 'fIlE CAMP OPPOSITE PULAWY, MAY 12.
The corps of General Dziekonski is just now going over
the right bank of the Vistula. The patrols that have been
sent out report that the Russians are also retreating from
Kasimiez. Pulawy is already occupied by our troops.
Now (at noon) we hear a heavy cannonade at a distance.
" In the province of Lublin the Russians have also re-
tired from the banks of the Vistula; on the 12th their
rear was in Garbow ; but our main army has likewise
began a retrograde movement since that day. On the
13th there was some skirmishing in the rear about Ka-
luszyn, and on our left wing beyond Pultusk."
The State Gazette has also the following news :
" Accounts from Lublin, of the 6th, say that an Austrian
officer had brought intelligence to General Kreutz of the
retreat of Dwernicki into Gallicia.

ost.

" General Davidoff is shortly expected back with four
regiments of Dragoons, Hussars, and Cossacks. He is
said to have already repassed the Bug, at Hrubrieszow.
" The cavalry of Plock yesterday brought to Warsaw
158 prisoners, taken by General Chrzanowski at Kock,
some Cossacks, picked up on the way, and seven regi-
mental chapels taken at Kock. Several thousand Basch-
kiers have joined the Russian army in the province of
Lublin.
" Some Bavarian physicians have lately arrived at
Warsaw, and Dr. Antomarchi, Napoleon's physician, who
is now at Cracow, is expected here."
The Warsaw Gazette gives accounts from Brody o
the 6th, stating, that on the sth General Rudiger had
caused Te Deana to be performed at Radziwillow, on ac-
count of the victory over Dwernicki's corps, and had then,
in consequence of the orders he had received, set out to
proceed by forced marches to Brzt,sc-Letewski."
The same Paper says, " We learn that for six days past
Count Diebitsch has received new supplies by the road
from Brzesc-Litewski."
A Danish and a French physician have lately arrived in
Warsaw for the hospitals in the capital. The English
physicians in particular are eminently serviceable in sur-
gical operations.
" A report is just spread, on the authority of news sent
by a Postmaster, that General Chrzanowski has advanced
farther into the province of Lublin, and, in conjunction
with the garrison of Zamosc which came to his aid, has
gained a victory between Peaski and Old Zamosc."
FRONTIERS OF POLAND, MAY 17.--Field-Marshal
Count Diebitsch seems to be going towards Ostrolenka,
with a view of passing the Vistula at Plock. In con-
sequence of this, a strong body of Poles has marched to
the left towards Sierock, where there is said to have been
an action on the 15th.
BERLIN, MAY 20.—The State Gazette gives a table
of the number of persons: attacked by the cholera in the
city of Warsaw and in the camp near it, from the 23d of
April to the sth of May, with the deaths, cures, &c. In
these thirteen days the number of sick was 2,580 ; 1,110
had died, 192 recovered, and 1,278 remained sick.
However, the number of new cases gradually decreased ;
for, on the 28th of April, there were 386 new cases ; on
the Ist of May, 332 ; the 4th of May only 141, and on
the sth only 122.
The State Gazette 'contains also long accounts from
Riga of the 12th, and Polangen of the 14th of May, of
various actions between the Russians and insurgents : the
latter had been defeated with considerable loss, and
there was every reason to suppose that the troubles
in Samogitia would soon be quelled, as the peasantry
were returning in gteat numbers to their homes,
and had resumed their usual occupations, but they needed
the protection of the troops against the lawless vagabonds,
who having nothing to lose, find their advantage in these
disorders. Rigorous measures will probably be necessary
against the latter, but the peasants and most of the land-
owners will soon return to order.
Boas LE Dec, MAY 20. —The Belgian garrison of
Senloo is now 2,000 men. An individual named Brial-
mont commands there.
Letters from the Prussian frontiers of the 19th May say,
that many persons had arrrived there from Antwerp,
fearing another bombardment.

We have received the Journal des Debats of
Wednesday, but it does not contain any news
of importance, or any later accounts from Po-
kind. It states from the frontiers of Gallicia of
the 10th, that General DWERNICKI has trade
a formal protest against his treatment by the
Austrian Government, which he has sent
to the Ambassadors of France and Eng-
land at Vienna, invoking their interference.

They write from Schdffousen, of the 19th of
May, that a levy-en .masse took place on the
16th at Klettgan, which proceeded to Schaffou-
sen. The Burgomaster of Meyenbourg, and
three other deputies, went to meet the peasants,
to remonstrate with them in the name of the
Government. They were made prisoners, but
fortunately set at liberty when the troops were
approaching the town, and order was again re-
stored. The Gazette d' Augsburg announces,
by accounts from Vienna, that the position of
the GRAND VIZIER was not so unfavourable
as represented. On the contrary, that he had
obtained some successes over the insurgents.

We have just perused a clever pamphlet, en-
titled " Friendly Advice most respectfully sub-
mitted to the House of Lords on the Reform
Bill," which is penned in a temperate, and
we may add a convincing, manner. The
writer points out to the Upper House the
folly—the madness of attempting, at this ad-
vanced period, to make head against the current
of popular feeling, and warns them that their
continuance as a separate and influential Order
depends solely on the conduct they pur-
sue with regard to the great question of
eform. If they oppose it, they are
If they even throw obstacles in the
way, they are lost. They must pass it at all
hazards, no matter how repulsive it may be
to their feelings, or their order exists no
longer. The subjoined remarks on this sub-
ject are full of truth and meaning :
" his, doubtless, impossible for the House of
Lords to stem the tide of Reform—but in at-
tempting to do it, the rash act may endanger
their own safety, and with theirs that of all of
us, who are, to a certain degree, in the same
boat with them. The opposition of the Lords
must be powerless for any good purpose, but
may be yet pregnant with evil. Their con-

tinued resistance to the measure, so ardently
desired by the people, may cause convulsion in
this now happy land—nay, even civil war. And
if this unhappily should be the case, it will be
but poor consolation to those who are fellow-
sufferers in the anarchy and confusion that would
be thus produced, that the immediate authors of
it would be, as is certain to be the case, its first

victims."
