POLAND.

(From the Private Correspondent of the Times.)
WARSAW, JUNE 6.
The last letter I wrote to you was under date the
31st ult., which infermed you that the Polish head-
quarters were at Praga, where they still remain, and
nothing has taken place with the main army since
then; but, however, the Poles still sing their na-
tional song—" Jeszcre Polska iiie Zginela"—(Po-
land will not be lost so long as we live), for the news
fr:mn Lithuania and the Ukraine are good. General
Chrapowski has gained a victory over the Russians,
ne :r Narewka. The following is the translation of
dip official report of General Skrzynecki to the Na-
tional Government :

" I have the honour to send to the National Go-
vernment the news just received of the army under
the command of General Chrapowski. That General
having joined some thousand of the Bialystock in-
surgents,' gained a glorious victory over the enemy,
near NareWka, on the 26th of May : it was at the
same time when the battle of Ostrolenka took place.

The enemy's column, consisting of two regiments
of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, and five
cannons, besides Cossacks, were sent from Brzesc-

Liteivski with the intention of falling upon the in-
surgents, and were led on by one Rengardt. Gen.
Chrapowski got the start of him, and attacked him
in the night, and with such success that the Rus-
sian corps was surrounded. The Russians lost the
five cannons and all the arms; and about 300 men
were killed; we lost an officer of the regular troops,
four chasseurs of the insurgents, and one horse.

, -
remainder of the enemy's troops were com-

pletely defeated and 'made prisoners. General Chra-
powski took the cfficers with him on his march, but
ordered the soldiers (prisoners) to be sent to Bielsk
by the inhabitants, after their having taken an oath
not to serve again against the Poles. Four degene-
rated inhabitants of that country, who conducted the
enemy towards tt,s received their deserved punish-
rrent--death. The appearance of General Chra-
powski heightened the spirits of the insurgents in
that part ; the whole population are taking up arms.
Besides the successful battle of Narewka, the insur

gents .had fallen several times upon the Russian
transports, and at Bialostockiey Puszczy 120 wag-
gons fell into the hands of the insurgents:
(Signed) " SKRZYNECKI.
" Praga, June 2, 1831."
According to news arrived likewise from Vol.
hynia, the insurgents have given battle to the Rut.
sians at Haman, which fortress fell into the hands
of the insurgents, with all the arms, ammunition,
&c. The insurgents were led on by Count Emir
Mactaw Rzewuski, whose two sons are in the
Polish artillery. It was a hard-fought battle, and.
1,200 Russians were left dead on the field; the loss
of Alexander Schamki, who was either killed or
made prisoner, is much regretted. The rising in
that country will be of great consequence to the
Russians, as the peasantry are determined to defend
the liberty their masters have given them. The
Greek clergymen have even joined them, and bless
their flags ; and some of them join them in the
battles. The inhabitants of the Ukraine remember
the advantages they enjoyed in the Polish times,and
have sworn to assist the Poles in their s.ruggle for
liberty and independence. The Russians have sent
troops in the environs of Zytomierz and Berdyczoff,
so that the insurgents have 15,000 regular troops
against them. But it is said, that danger threatens
the Russians likewise from other sides, as, accord-
ing . to news fiom Odessa, '2,000 infantry were
shipped to reinfore the fortresses on the banks of
Dungy, as the Russians do not trust the Turkish
assurances of peace. General Rudiger, with his
corps and a part of Krassowski's corps, has entered
the country, and taken up his head-quarters at
Werbkowice: he has 9,000 men and thirty pieces
of cannon. The Jews at Krubiszew and Laszczow
are assisting the Russians all they can, and lead them
to the houses of those persons known as patriots.
At the battle of Ostrolenka young Kanke was
killed : he was a brave young fellow. The battle of
the 25th of February, although a very bloody one,
was nothing like this. General Skrzynecki on that
day, when a charge was made on the enemy, was
in the middle of the troops who charged, and
Charles* was along with him, who, for his bravery,
has been decorated with the Gold Military Cross,
and I can assure you he is not a little proud of it.
He is much praised by the Commander-in-Chief
and all his comrades, and beloved by them. A
change will take place in a day or two in the Go.
vernment, when it is expected that Count Wladislav
Ostrowski, the Marshal of the Diet, will be one
appointed. A deputation from the Senate and
Chamber of Deputies and National Guards have
been to the head-quarters, to congratulate General
Skrzynecki on the success he has had, and to thank
him in the name of the nation for the services he
has already rendered it.
The Russian army have begun to move to the
right bank of the Narew. On the 3d, a corps of
14,000 men were encamped at Prasnysz.
The retreat which General Lubienski made from
Ciechanowiec was so admirably done, that he has
been advanced to General of Division : he had
6,000 men, surrounded by 40,000, and cut his way
through them.
At the battle of Dlugosiodla, the wife of one of
the gunners took the place of one of the soldiers
who was killed, and carried charges for charging the
cannon; the officers ordered her to quit the. field of
battle, but she put on the uniform of a soldier end
fought to the end of the battle ; it is said she will
receive a military cross for her bravery. There are
several women serving i❑ the army ; I have seen
two myself.
At the battle of Ostrolenka, a soldier wounded
in the calf of the leg gave his razor to one of his
comrades and begged him to cut the ball out, but
on his refusing to perform :the operation he cut it
out himself (which was fortunately not deep in the
flesh), tied up the wound, and returned into the
battle.
