FROM THE IMI'ERIAI, RUSSIAN HEAD-QUARTERS
AT RYKY.
MARCH 21 (APRIL .2).*

The badness of the roads and the overflowing of the Vistula
had hitherto kept the army in its cantonments. Count Toll re-
turned to the head-quarters after giving to Count Witt the com-
mand of the corps, following General Dwernicki, who kept him-
self shut up in Zamotc, and whose cavalry is under the guns of
the forts-eat. 'Ma idetachinents; under Colonels Anreh and
BoutOwsky, continually harass him, while the other troops of the
corps are ordered both to hinder his escape arid the of re-
inforcements.
