GERMAN PAPERS.

Beaux, APRIL 29.—A Petersburgh journal says that
tranquillity has not been for a moment interrupted at
Wilna ; that the resident nobility have not only taken no
part in the insurrection, hut have expressed their indig-
nation at it, and scrupulously observe the renewed oath
which they lately took to the Emperor. It is hoped that
the insurrection, commenced by all kinds of persons of
bad characters, and which has been accompanied with
various excesses, will be speedily put down.
The celebrated Russian, Admiral Siniawin, died lately
at Petersburgh.
The ice on the Neva broke up on the 16th, and the
Isaac's bridge was replaced on the 18th.
The accounts from Warsaw are to the 25th. In the
sitting of the Diet on the 21st, the Minister for Foreign
Affairs said that the Government had exerted itself to en-
sure the freedom and independence of Poland, and to get
back the old Polish provinces now under the Russian Go-
vernment.
:The Warsaw Papers give no details of the battle be-
tween Generals Kreutz and Witt and the Polish General
Sierawski. They say that after the battle the Russians
approached the Vistula, but add that only a small portion
of the Russian troops remained near the river, and that
the main body has retreated towards Lublin and Lewartow.
With respect to the main farce of the Poles, no details
are given, not even where the head-quarters were last.
They however give an order of the day of the Commander-
in-Chief, which is not unimportant. A statement is given
of the military operations and their success. The General
exhorts the troops to behave with courage and firmness,
adding, that what has already been done is only a begin-
ing. The Russians, he says, have a power which has
been confirmed by ages, and a speedy termination is not
to be expected. Great firmness is therefore necessary,
especially if the military operations should reader is ne-
cessary for the Polish troops to make retrograde movetnents„
The Papers speak also of some skirmishes between the
Russians and General Uminsky, who is said to have gained
some advantages, but the accounts are so vague and con
fused that it is difficult to discover the real state of affair
from them. There are ear inns accounts, but nothing
official respecting General Dwernicki, who seems to have
gained some advantages over General Rudiger.
Authentic accounts from Warsaw say, that the newly
formed fifth Polish Regiment of Hulans has had an en-
gagement in which it suffered much ; it is also said that
the cholera has appeared in the Polish army.
The lVarsaw Gazette says, " Since Count Diebitsch
reviewed his troops on the 21st, the last prisoners that have
arrived here say that a great battle was daily expected.
Other accounts, however, say the Field-Marshal was re-
tiring."
The Kouigsburg Gazette of the 23d of April says, that
by accounts from the Polish frontier, A division of the
Russian guards had arrived some days before at Przansnye,
between Molowa and Pultusk.

Ihe Konigsberg Gazette has the following article:-...

" TILSIT:Antic 22.—We hear from the province of
Augustow, that the insurgent chiefs, Poselaer and Johon,
with their bands, have been whely defeated. General
Von Fiecken drove a division of 6,000 men before him,
which retreated towards Katv-n ; 4,000 of them succeeded
in escaping into the woods, the others were surrounded,
having on one side the river Memel, and on the other the
Russian cannon, which soon destroyed them with grape-
shot. It is thought that not 100 were left alive."
THE HAGUE, MAY 3 —We understand that his Itla.
jesty has approved of the modifications ac.d changes in
the statutes of the Commercial Secety. M. Gerecke,
Councillor of State, is to ue)io ‘emburg as Extraordinary
Commissioner.
