FROM THE POLISH FRONTIER, JUNE 10.

Although, according to some accounts, the Russian
troops are still at Ruzan, several advices, received at War-
saw, lead us to think they are On the point of crossing
the Vistula simultaneously at Plock and Pulawy. From
Generals Gielgud and Chrapowski ao late accounts have
been received ; so that the confirmation of the reports
already received is still to be looked forward to. The
alteration in the form of Government at Warsaw is ex-
pected to be officially announced to-day.
FROM THE LITHUANIAN FRONTIER, JUNE 7.

According to accounts from Gielgudischken, a division
of 3,000 Polish troops belonging to General Gielgud's
corps had arrived there, and were about to cross the Me-
mel. A second division of about the same force was to
cross the river at Wilcky, and the third above Kowno.
The whole of General Gielgud's force would therefore ap-
pear to consist of 9,000 men. The want of pontoons and
bridges was supplied by large rafts of timber. The diffe-
rent corps of insurgent• in those provinces are endeavour-
ing to join General Gielgud, and as a Russian corps, under
General Sass has been sent against the Poles, a serious
affair may be shortly expected.

WARSAW, JUNE 9.

The Diet has not had any sitting since the 4th
instant, the Committees having been engaged during
this interval in examining the project of law pre-
sented by the Deputy Ledochowski for a change in the
Government. After long debates, the Committees have
decided that a change is necessary, and that the Govern-
ment should be confided to a single person.
The report of the Committee on the project of law for
giving the Government to an individual was laid before
the Chamber of Deputies yesterday. The debate was de-
ferred to the -next sitting. A credit of fourteen millions
was granted in yesterday's sitting to the Minister of War.
The Warsaw Courier says--" We have no positive
news in the capital respecting the military operations. With
regard to Marshal Diehitsch there arc various reports in
circulation ; small say he intends to strike terror in the
Lithuanian insurgents, by proceeding against them in
person ; others that he means to approach Warsaw. The
promised account of the battle of Ostrolenka has not yet
been communicated to us."

General Count Krukowiecki has already received the
discharge which he solicited from the office of General of
Infantry, and intends shortly to leave the capital. The
new Governor of Warsaw is not yet named Several
Generals to whoa► this burdensome office has been offered
have declined it.
The German Warsaw Gazette gives the unauthen-
ticated news that the Russians abandoned Lublin some
days ago.

BERLIN, JUNE 13.
A letter from an officer at the Russian head-quartets,
dated May 27, gives a very long account of the battle of
Ostroleßka. He estimates the loss of the Russians at
1,000 men ; that of the Poles, who, he expressly states,
fought with great In-Avery, ttnriot he less than 7 or 8,00(1
wrnoe'ilin including 2,100 prisoners, of whom 700 wen,
wounded.
The Konigsburg Journal gis es the following aeounnt
of the events in the Polish and Lithuanian frontiers, which

we announced yesterday.:—" The Polish General Gielgud
has entered Gielgudischken, with a force, said to ',be
12,000 strong. He marched with about 4,000 regular
troops of the corps of General Sicken, which was 8,000
.trong, to Kowno, (otherwise Kauen.) On his march
-everal bodies of insurgents joined him.
" The Russian corps had taken a strong position in
Kovno. General Gielgud caused a feigned attack to be
made by 2,000 men upon Kowno, while he himself, with
the remainder of his corps, crossed the Memel in the
night, in order to penetrate into Samogitia and join Puschet.9
His Excellency Count Von Alopeus, the Russian Ambas-
Sador at the Prussian Court, died this morning at half. past
four o'clock, after a fortnight's very severe illness, iu his
63d year.
The cholera appears to abate at Dantzic, but it has broken
out at Kalisch, not far from our eastern frontier.
The St. Pctersbur9h Journal contains a very long ac-
count respecting Finland, which declares all the reports
circula•ed in Foreign Journals of insurrections and disco' .
tent in that province, of the disarming of the people by
order of the Government, and the like to be, wholly false.
The most perfect tranquillity prevails in Finland, and
the people are faithful and attached to the Government.—.
The story of the disarming of the people is founded
on a measure resolved and commenced to be executed
above two years:ago, which was to dissolve imperfectly or-
ganised mil;tia, and to raise marine corps instead ; it being
supposed that the extensive coasts might supply the Rus-
sian navy with a great number of excellent seamen, which
would be more advantageous bith to Finland and Russia.
Great numhersel Finlanders have fought in Persia, Turkey,
and Poland, some received frequent tysimonies of appro-
bation from the Generals tinder whom th, y. served. The
battalion of shaipshooters of the Guard, formed in Finland
two years ago, was ordered to Poland at the same time
with the Guards for St. Petersburg'', and hasdistinguished
its. If on several occasions during the present campaign.
Colonel Ramsay, who commands the battalion, was
woun din a late engagement.

WARSAW, JUNE 9.

Authorise(' by the decree of the Diet of the 29th of
January, the Polish Government has opened a loan for
60 millions of Polish florins, at 4 per cent., to be secured
on all the national dam fins. There are 100,000 shares
of 600 florins each.
A traveller, who arrived from the Prussian frontiers
yesterday, relates, that Genera Gielgud had totally de-
feated and dispersed the corps of Sacken, near Raygrod.
The remains of the corps have taken refuge in Lick, in
the Prussian territory. The traveller was in person near
the field of battle, awl heard the cannonade.

It continues to be affirmed, that the Russian General
wounded at Ostrolenka was Prince Schakowski, that he
has died of his wounds, and that.his remains have been
sent to Russir.

A sana ory cordon his now been placed by Austria also
on our frontiers.

BERLIN, Juxs I I.

According to a generally believed report, Count' Pas-
Icewitsch will succeed Count Diebitsch in the command
of tha Russian army. The latter is said to meet with
much opposition both in and out of the army, which is
strengthened by the ill success of his operations against
the Poles. It is said that Count Dicbitsch, who was ill
when he left Berlin, is so affected in his mind by the exer-
tions and vexations of the war, that the operations have
been lung directed by General Toll, by whose representa-
tions the Emperor has been induced to summon Paske-
witsch to command the army in Poland.

We hear it very generally rumoured—and the
report has already created an amazing sensation
throughout the metropolis—that the House of
Peers intend to move an amendment to the usu.
address to the KING. We will not—we can
not believe this rumour. We cannot believe
that the Lords will do any thing so flagrantly
unconstitutional, as to condemn by anticipa-
tion a measure which has not only not yet
come before them for discussion, but which actu-
ally has not even been brought before the con-
sideration of the House of Commons. We
feel convinced that their Lordships, if they
intend to oppose the Reform Bill, will
oppose it in au equitable and constitu-
tional spirit, and not set an example of ir-
regularity—and we might almost add—in-
subordination, the dreadful effects of which they
themselves will be the first to feel. What, eon-
deuu► a measure unheard ? Decide on the
merits of a question of which they as yet know
nothing ? Arrest the House of Commons on
the very threshold of their proceedings ? No,
no. The House of Lords are too prudent
too dignified ; they have too correct a sense of
the duty they owe to the laws as well as them-
selves, to venture on any such rash step. By
deciding prematurely on the Reform Bill, their
Lordships will be virtually monopolizing the
privileges of the three estates of the realm. They
will be taking the freedom of discussion out of
the hands of the House of Commons ; and even
tampering with the just prerogative of the SovE-
REIGN himself, Of what earthly use is it
to debate a question in the Lower House,
if the Upper has already ,lecided on its rejec-
tion ? Surely their Lordships must see the ne-
cessity of waiting until it comes formally before
them for discussion ! The respect they owe to
the country demands that they at least hear
before they condemn ; debate, before they reject.
These are no tunes for any rasl-, intermeddling
by the Aristocracy, with the undoubted rights
of the House of Commons and the people.
Disguise it as we may, there is no denying the
fact that a feverish and jealous spirit is abroad ;
that the country is every where awake to a sense
of its lights, and resolved at all hazards to regain
them. Before they decide on an amendment,
we would most respectfully entreat their Lord'
ships to turn their attention to the angry dig-
cussions that are now daily taking place through'
out France on the subject of an Hereditary'
Peerage. We refer them to the state of that
country by way of warning ; for they may rely
on it that, should they persist in their present un'
warrantable stretch of authority, the question of
an Hereditary Peerage will not be confined to
France alone. It will cross the Channel, awl
sp,ead like wildfire through our manufacturing
districts, and when once it has taken root
in England, no earthly means will have
power to dislodge it. The factious conduct
of the House of Lords on the memorable
day of the dissolution is not yet forgotten
by the people. It clings to their memo-
ries like a burr. It rankles in their hearts like
a thorn. For their own sakes, then, as also for
the sake of the country, which has already re-
solved on the triumph of the Reform Bill, Nve
entreat their Lordships duly to reflect on the illy
portance of the step they are about to take. We
entreat them to halt on this side the Rubicon.

The following are extracts from Dutch Papers
to the 18th inst. received this morning :
