HAMBURG PAPERS.

BERLIN, SEPT. 7.—The Prussian State Gazette of
this date contains an article from the Russian head-quarters
at Nadatzyn, of the 28th of August. It gives an account
of the defeat of a Polish partisan named Gedroitz, with
600 men, by a detachment from Generallßudiger's corps.
The General in his report, dated August 22, says that
Gedroi,z had taken a position on his line of communica.
tion with the Vistula, in order to interrupt a convoy of
provisions expected from Lublin. Gedroitz himself, with
IS officers and 105 yagers was taken prisoner. The
remainder of his troops dispersed in the woods.
General Baron Rosen writes, that according to his in-
structions he bad fallen back to Kaluszyn, where he learnt
a strong division of the rebel army had passed over to the
right bank of the Vistula. It appeared that the Polish
troops were gone towards the Wkra. The main army
remained in its positions. On the 27th the Poles at-
tempted a reconnoissance with four battalions and six
squadrons, in which, the report states, they suffered some
loss. General Knorring is stated to have entered Kalisch,
amidst the rejoicings of the inhabitants. The civic au-
thorities and a great part of the population went out to meet
Lim, and all classes hays expressed their satisfaction at be-
ing at length delivered from the oppression of the revolu-
tionary bands. General Knorring would not let his
troops enter the town, but charged the National Guard
to preserve tranquillity and order, and with this view
armed 300 of them with pikes. The first two divisions
of General Kreutz's corps joined the main army on the
26th and 2atli. The last divisions will join to-morrow.
Pousit FRONTIZILS, Svvv. B.—We learn from the
Lower Vistula, that a Polish corps, said to be from 5,000
to 6,000 strong, pressed forward towards the l itter part
of last month, from Plock towards Osiek probably with a
view to obtain possession of a Russian magazine situated
there, and perhaps with the intention of crossing the
Vistula by the bridge, and throwing themselves upon the
rear of the Russian main army. The Russian General
Ronne, who commanded the tete-de-pont at Osiek, deemed
it prudent to convey the magazine to the other side of the
river, and to destroy the bridge, by which means the at-
tempts of the Polish corps (which, in fact appeared the
following morning) was defeated. Yesterday afternoon a
cannonade was, indeed heard on the frontiers of Osiek,
but since then all is quiet, and it is supposed that the Polish
troops have retired ; especially as we bear that a large
Russian force, from the Russian army of General Tolstoy,
is on its march from Lithuania.
From Kalisch, we learn that the Russian troops have
quitted that city, and have directed their march towards
Czentochow, in order to clear that part of the country of
the detached parties of Polish insurgents. To guard
Kalisch, about 150 men are left near the town, which may
be advantageous, to the authority of the newly-appointed
magistracy of that town, at the head of which is M.
Sclimiedicke, a landowner, a man of highly respectable
character, who is appointed president of the province.
BERLIN, SEPT. S.-The Prussian Gazette of thisday
contains the following article :
POLISH FRONTIERs, SEPT. 4.—From the latest num-
bers that we have seen of the Warsaw Papers (from the
25th to the 28th of August), it appears that General
Lubieeski is no longer at the head of the staff, but has
obtained a separate command. Against General Dembinski,
lately the object of general praise, the Warsaw Papers now
contain very severe attacks. A proclamation has been
issued by General Krukowiecki, in his character of Pre-
sident of the Government, declaring General Siupecki
and Lessel, the confectioner, innocent of any participation
in the counter-revolutionary conspiracy. The Deputy
Krisinski has been appointed President of the Bank. Re-
specting military operations these papers contain nothing
of importance ; but private accounts, which still require
confirmation, speak of a sortie made by the Polish garri-
son of Warsaw, in consequence of which they succeeded in
bringing considerable supplies into the capital.
The Prussian State Gazette contains also another re-
port from the Russian head-quarters, but of older date
than the preceding, being of the 28th of August. It
contains in part what is already known. The following
extracts will fill up a blank in the communications :
" By the position of the Russian army, Warsaw, and the
army of the insurgents concentrated there, are surrounded
almost on every side, and deprived of all resources from
the country; and not only from this side of the Vistula,
but, by the advance of General Baron Rosen to Dembie-
Vielki's aid, the opening of a communication with him by
way of Karczew, from the other aide also, and only the
province of Plozk is still open to it. In order to deprive
it of this last source, from which it might obtain supplies,
General Doklorow has been sent with a strong detach-
ment to the frontiers of Plozk, there to act as a parti-
san, and endeavour to cut off all communications with
Warsaw from Plonk, by way of Modlin and Sigiz. In this
state of things, and in expectation of Generals Kreutz and
Rteliger, General Delos of the engineers is preparing fas-
eines, gabions, pallisadee, chevaux de frize, and other re-
quisites
for storming the city, and at the same time
scaling ladders are making in the several regiments. Gen.
Rosen having advanced to Dembie-Wielki, made an attempt
to pass the bridge between Warsaw and Praga, on the
slight of the 19th of August, and draw up his troops
on the heights of Wawr, with the intention of storming
Praga at day-break, if the plan had succeeded, but
though the bridge was set on fire, it was discovered before
it spread far, and was extinguished in time. Gen. Rosen
Laving failed in this attempt to withdraw as he was in-
structed, leaving only a detachment at Dembie-Wielki, he
posted the remainder of his troops between Minsk and Ka-
luszyn, occupying both these places. He commnnicatea
with the main army by means of the bridge of Karezew,
and observes, by means of light corps, the whole country
between the Bug and the Vistula. General Rudiger
mean time has contrived to clear the country beyond the
Piliza. Ruaycki, who commands there, had collected all
the insurgents—eleven battalions, ten squadrons, and
tight or ten cannon—but was driven by Rudiger with
great loss through Koriskie into the forests. Rudiger,
battening to join the main army, desisted from the pursuit,
on which Rozycki collected about nine thousand men, ad-
vanced again, intending to support the partizan Gedroitz
(mentioned in the other report), the latter being defeated.
17ozycki, followed by General Geismar, retreated to Ilza.
Gens2ral Kreutz's corps, which is
.at hand, consists of
twenty-seven battalions, twenty-eight squadrons, and
.ighty-two cannon. The whole will join the main atmy
fry the soth. The 10th division of infantry will pin on
