(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) ,
The communication with Warsaw is cornea;
cut off, but yet some scraps of news reach us
and when I state to you that the Poles blelelif
tempted an operation on the right bank of die
tula you may receive it as certain. Accord
the studied and sparing accounts from the
quarters, the movement consisted of only 1)$,1
rencontres in the vicinity of Milosna, between ,s
outposts of Rosen's corps and the rebels. Nile htr
however, accounts from Cracow, which stateeio
with some certainty, that the Polish Generals
berg and Terms, had succeeded in overtaking et,
attacking the retreating corps of reserve of Gendo
Tolstoi, before it could reach the Vistula; that
o,
whole was dispersed ; and that 40 pieces of
a quantity of ammunition, many reserve horsese;
all the baggage, with the money chest, fell sec
their hands. The exact date of this action is
stated, but the battle must have taken place
tween the 27th and 30th of August. In COPS
,„
tion with this stands Uminski's march throo,6;
Plocz to Schillus, where, according to the Ruro
accounts, he failed in his attempt; for the po'l4
of the Tete de Pont, on the Vistula, and the
gazines, the destruction of which he intended'',
been previously removed over to the other aide,
the river. It is certain, however, that if the att°,,
upon Tolstoi's reserve corps really took place, ell);
as above described, Uminski's manoeuvre must
considered a clever diversion for the purpose (Trio
terrupting the communication between Paskewitsev
main army and the expected reserve corps, uteill,,
projected coup was accomplished. General it°s.l,
who was before said to have continued his posit
eji
in the neighbourhood of Siedlec, is now adrnityl
by the Russian accounts to be falling back 01),Ii9.
left—an indication which speaks very strong
favour of the alleged success of the Poles on I
right bank of the Vistula.
,
The reported sanguinary victory of SKrzY..
over Paskewitsch, which I have already states
seems to be cut down to a merereconnoisance on'
part of the besieged. The Russians pretend to havei
had the advantage, but by their own words tb,li
were at first driven back, though they subsequent
obliged the Poles to retreat. This, in ruibly
'id
matters, is a thing of course, for whenever ab°
makes a sally from a besieged place it eventuallY re d
turns within the walls. However, the continue_
silence of the Russians leave room for greateree',
pestations. The announced victories obtained °`°t
Rudiger are also reduced to simple skirmishes, be,
which are, notwithstanding, admitted to have Prb,
vented the junction of himself with Paskewilct,
But, in a word, the boasted conquests of the P°ll,
scans
are just and no more to be received with cble
tion than the Cracow communications, so favours °e
to the Poles. There is too much braggadocio,
both sides. The former claim to assert that 61,
rieral Rozicki was cut off from the Polish he°'„;
quarters, near Cracow (in the Waywodschaft, rid
the republic), and that General Kaminskiovh°;l,
head-quarters were in Konskie, was also worste
I3oth these Generals cover the most southerly Prc:,
vinces, and are acting against Rudiger, in order
prevent his junction with Paskewitsch.
It is a fact, however, that though exaggere..;
or even palely fictitious, these accounts of' victorleo
may be, the situation of Paskewitsch is far fr°,
enviable. With a strongly fortified capital, eer,,i:
mending the river, defended by an army yet powerll,-1
amounting—although rather over-rated by t
dt
Polish accounts from Cracow—to 80,000 reglll,l,
troops, and 50,000 landsturm, before him, arid
the midst of the enemy's country, with supplies "Li
every description daily exhausting; the Vistula Oh,
extensive deserts between him and Russia; fro
autumn and winter approaching, which seasons 8,
deadly in a marshy country like Poland; and, ab°,o'
all, the cholera in his army—an attempt to sit'ra
Warsaw would most likely be the certain I°,-,
of his whole army. The last revolution ill t'i
capital here deprived him of the hopes t),
being able to surprise it, or to expect anY
sistance from within its walls. Under other
cumstances, or at another season, in the spring, t'it
commencement of summer, a satisfactory re'',
might be anticipated, even notwithstanding thert
difficulties, for he could starve Warsaw out ; I);
now nothing remains for him but a horrible re°,
mere, or a negociation. It is said that Prin.,,,
Michael Radziwill went to the Russian head-cluli,
tern with proposals from the Poles, and the con
dons are supposed to be similar to those demander
Chlopieki from the Emperor before 111
breaking out of the war. Whether Paskewitsch',
empo erect to accept them is more than doubtful. e
Krukowiecki, the Governor, continues to be 00
uncontroulled Dictator in Warsaw. He is said to
have already caused 40 of the individuals, who wet
most conspicuous in the late massacre, to be 5110,,,
"',
Some time ago he was himself dismissed
h,'
Skrzynecki, but yet such is his patriotism, that "-f
is said to have now named him Generalissimo 0
the army. If this was done spontaneously, it 01
noble action, and redounds greatly to his credit.
Zamosc is pressed more closely every day by°
Russians under Kaisaroff.
The cholera makes no great progress here. ,1:
greater part of those attacked are persons habitua''',,,
addicted to intoxication, or poor wretches who lilt'
in low damp cellars. Hitherto, there has been
one known respectable person who has fallen a
tim to it.
In Stettin the ignorance of the mob has cause
an insurrection. The common people believe
all cholera patients in the hospitals are poisoned,'
the hopes of preventing the spreading of the same,
,
This fatal error unfortunately receives too Wet
countenance from the circumstance that not one °
the cholera patients has yet been cured. (?;,Ijr
Crown Prince has just left for Stettin to tratiquil-e
the populace. Our condition generally is any OOP,
but settled, and the King finds himself compelled -
his relations with Russia to adopt a course towary
the Poles, which he knows is unpalatable to the reti:
jority of his subjects, and which is opposed to 11:
own better feelings and riper judgment. But he's
the victim of kis position.

GRAND DINNER TO LORD ALTIIoRP A/49
LORD Jorfsl RUSSELL.—On Saturday, the 24th of Sept°
those Members of Parliament who, from the commeoeei
ment, hale stoutly supported Ministers in the House
Commons during the progress of the Reform Bill, bat-
determined to give a splendid entertainment to Lord AL.
TIIORP iind Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as a testimonial of die:
unqualified approbation of the measure which these (I's'
tinguished Noblemen, so far as it relates to the Cocorn°,°o
,
House of Parliament, may be said to have consummated
their unwearied perseverance and integrity. KAY, of V'
Albion Tavern, in Aldersgate-street, whose excellent 'Wit':
and fine dinners are proverbial, has been selected to prePlce
the feast, and in consequence of the great room at t'ilo
Albion not being sufficiently capacious to accommodate
large a company, Stati'iners' Hall has been lent for the aci
casion by the Masters and Wardens of that WorshiPt
Company, who, with the Loan MAYOR and Sheriffs, sf;
the only additional guests that are to be invited to
banquet.
Lord Mayor lIARTY received the patent °(
his Baronetcy on Saturday, with a well-deserved ackuae
ledgment of his services to the cause of " KING, Guyed
menr, and People," written by the hand of Lord Gar'l•7o
In the blindness of their rancour, the unfortunate
had succeeded in persuading themselves that no title at as
was intended for the LORD MAYOR. We do not 10°:t
what will become of their little wits when they hear tD
the patent has actually arrived.—Dublin Morn. Reg; std'
A clerk in the barking*-hoase of Cuter
itoBARTI, and Co., having absconded, with cash to the
amount of about 4,0001., which he had collected to
pet formance of his ordinary duties, the police were sent
all directions to look for the thief. Sir WILLIAMCuf,Pr
himself, accompanied by FORRESTER the officer, t
Calais with great expedition, and set a most active inqu.ri0,
on foot. He however failed there. He could gain Da it,
formation from which he could d:aw any conclusion o'l,-,
the destination or Vie hiding place of CLEW h;s dery
Letters were sent off to Atoerica to stop the notes 01 the
bank. It is believed that CLEW is in London, and a' p.
used to be constantly in the society of females, a sharl
eye is kept upon the movements of some of his fla)".
Companions.
