LATEST ACCOUNTS FROM POLAND.

MERLIN, JULY I.—The Warsaw journals up to the
27th of June contain two old reports of General Gielgud
(of the Ist and 6th of June), relative to his first operations ;
ar. port from General Chrapowski, of the 4th June,
dated Powerdownia, near Orany ; and a report from the
G neral-in- Chief, dated Warsaw, 24th June, relative to
the operations of the army against the corps of Rudiger,
in the Governments of Podlachia and Lublin. On the
15th, the Polish head-quarters were at Siennica, where
the General-in-Chief removed, to second the operations of
Generals Jankowski and Rybinski, and to cover Warsaw.
On the Nth, Prybustki took Zbuczyn and Siedlec, where
he found large magazines. Jankowski, with a division of
infantry, and some cavalry under General Tarno and Ge-
neral Romarino, were ordered to Kozk, in the Govern.
ment of Lublin, and there, with this superior fore,, to
attack and defeat General Rudiger. Jankowski took
Lukow on the 18th, and when he arrived at Gulow,
n-ar Minnow, lie heard that the enemy had crossed
over at Sysohyki, to the right bank of the Wieprz.
Fearing that he might escape, he divided his whole corps
into small detachments, and sent General Tame to Lyso-
biki, near fludzeka. General Tarno, who had only three
thousand men, met with the enemy at three o'clock in the
morning of the 29th, but no assistance came, the enemy
was alone ten thousand strong, the action continued till
nine A.ai., and both parties kept their positions. General
Tarno, on receiving positive orders, retnate I to Czarna.
His loss was 270 killed and wounded ; besides this de-
tachments of the enemy got between the scatt-tred corps of
General Jankowski, and took two of his aWs-de-camp,
who were the bearers of his orders, and de Quarter-master
Major Eu,rym, prisoners. On the same day, after the
act:on fought by General Tame, all Jankowski's force
was assembled at Gulowska, Wola, and Rudiger assembled
his at Pizyloizno, after which the former began his retreat
to Warsaw, and the latter also retired. Generals Jankow-
ski and Bukowski are to be tried by a Court-martial, for
not having supported General Tarno ; the latter was the
nearest to Tarno, yet did not go to help him, though he
heard the cannonade. The Warsaw State Gazette says,
that Chrzanowski took the town of Lublin on the 20th,
and joined Romarino on the 23d.
The Warsaw Gazette still speaks of a battle near
Lublin, between Chrzanowski and Rudiger, in which the
latter is said to have lost 6,000 men taken prisoners and
eight cannon.
A letter from the frontiers of Lithuania, of the 25th of
June (in the Prussian State Gazette) says, that the in-
surgents have no where met with the success which they
expected from their expedition. At Schawle, when they
were reinforced by 2,000 regular troops of Gielgud's
corps, they suffered great loss. They were driven Icy
6 000 Russian troops, under General Schurmanu and Co-
lonel Bartholomegiff, out of the town, which they attacked
four times. The Russian artillery was very destructive,
and the loss of the insurgents is said to be above 12,000
killed and wounded, including four of their leaders.
The Russian troops have since entrenched themselves
in Schwall, which they seem resolved to defend to the ut-
most. '1 he attack of the insurgents on Wilna is said to
have wholly failed. General Chrapowski, who approached
it on one side, and Gielgud on the other, having been re-
pulsed. General Count Tolstoi is said to have attacked
the fm mer, and to have destroyed his whole corps of
15,000 men, except a few thousand. Gielgud, who had
advanced pretty far on the road to Wilna, is said to have
been driven back by the Russian troops assembled near
that place, and to have already arrived at Kaydang on his
retreat. The accounts from the northern parts of the pro-
vince of Augustowo are also unfavourable to the insur-
gents. A letter from Liebau states, that sixty-four Feces
of cannon, accompanied by a corps of troops, had been
landed at Liebau. Several Russian men-of-war are sta-
tioned off that port.
