We learn by the Prussian State Gazette that the
Polish General SIERWAsKI has received a slight
check :
WARSAW, APRIL 19.—The municipal Council of Warsaw
publicly announced that, notwithstanding the strictest inquiry,
no symptoms of the cholera have been found among any of the
Russian prisoners taken near Siedlec. The prisoners also declare
unanimously that no symptomi of any kind of epidemic disease
have yet manifested themselves in the hospitals of the latter
place. Inflammation of the lungs, dysentery, and ague prevail
there but not to any great extent. Hostilities have now com-
menced on every point.
(From the Prussian State Gazette of April9.s.)

" WARSAW, APRIL 21.—General Sierwaski's corps has met
with a check which has obliged him to retire to the lett side of
the Vistula. After having crossed that river with 6,001 new
troops and six pieces of artillery, he encountered at Warsaw, on
the road of Lublin, the corps of General Witt, who had joined
him by the remnant of General Creutz's corps, presenting a
force of 24,000 men and 30 cannon. Instead of retiring and
avoiding a contest with so superior an enemy, General Sicr-
waski fought with him on the whole of the 17th, but was obliged
at last to give way and retreat to Kazimierz. Ott the following
day (18th) he was attacked and obliged to recross the Vistula,
in doing which he again suffered a loss, which he might have
avoided if he had crossed during the night. His artillery was all
saved, but his loss in killed is estimated at 1200 men, among
whom are the gallant Lieutenant-Colonel Count Julien Male-
kowski and Lieutenant-Colonel Count Wielockonski, who were
drowned in the river, when, after having covered the retreat of
the troops, they attempted to swim across the river, at the head
of their squadrons.
" The cholera morbus has shewn itself in some of the hospi-
tals, but the illness does not appear to have assumed a very viru-
lent character. _ .

The Russian troops under General Sackett are said to have
entered Pultusk.
The Polish head-quarters are said to have been on the '2oth
at Minsk."
The Warsaw papers of the 21st allude to the above affair, but
mention that they are not yet in possession of particulars.
In the Sitting of the United Chambers of the Diet, on the 11th,
13th, and 14th, the discussion of the project of law for assigning
land to the peasants was continued.
In the Sitting of the 18th it appeared that a great number of
the Members who had been absent had returned, so that only
thirty were now wanting. Some altercation arose respecting
the absent Members; Count John Ledockoroski affirming that
many pretended sickness in order to avoid doing their duty,
especially that they might not sign the Act declaring the throne
vacant. In this Siti g the Deputy (Iwedzenski) stated that Gen.
Dwirnecki had received instructions from the National Govern-
ment for the convocation of the Provincial Assemblies, and the
organization of the authorities in the several Polish provinces,
and he therefore submitted to-the Chambers a plan for the first
organization of a Government and national representation in
Lithuania, Po.lolia, Wolhynia, and the Ukrane. The Chambers
ordered the plan to be referred to the Committee. Several Mem-
bers then observed that the Chambers were not competent, while
so many Members were absent to decide on such important laws,
for instance, that for allowing land to the peasants. Count John
Jesirski in particular contested the legality of several resolutions
adopted by the Chambers, while such a small number of mem-
bers had been present, because they had deviated from the forms
of the Constitution given by the Emperor Alexander; he
especially stigmatized az illegal the resolution by which the reso-
lution was declared is dional.
This so incensed Count Ledochowski that he replied to
Count Jesirski in the bitterest and most indecorous terms
aesiring him to leave the Chamber and the kingdom; and
adding, that nobody would grieve at his loss. Several members
called out " Order, the speaker insults the Chambers "
It was afterwards resolved, by 87 to votes, that the Chamber
s hould discontinue their united sittings and sit separately.
The Warsaw Courier says, that in the sitting of the 18th there
were such violent disputes as had not occurred before during the
present session of the Diet.
The IVarsaw State Gazette contains the following news :
I. Reports have been received here that at the same time that
General DwerneckienteredVolhynia an insurrection broke out in
the interior of that province. An anned force, under the com-
mand of citizen Sterki, has taken possession of Lubarbaring ;
first disarmed and made prisoners of the Russian garrison, in-
cluding the officers. The news :that Siedlec was taken by our
troops is not confirmed."
The same Paper announces from Tomaszow, in the province
of Lublin, that General Dwernicki, having made a feigned
movement as if he would pass the Vistula at Zawichost or Ra-
chow, had suddenly turned in the contrary direction, and pene-
trated through the woods to Krynice, whence he proceeded by
forced marches by way of Vyszowce to Krylow, and on the 96
passed the Bug over the bridges which the Russians had thrown
over that river for the expected corps of General Itudiger. At
Krylow he took fifty Russians prisoners, and several of them! in
attempting to escape by a hasty flight, were drowned in the river.
A bridge, which was set on fire by the enemy, was saved, as
well as a magazine on the other side, which the Russians had
also attempted to set fire to. Some hundred Russians which were
at Hrubiesaw and the neighbourhood, hearing of Dwernicki's
advance, feared he would cut off their retreat and withdrew pre-
cipitately ; thus the whole district of Hrubiessaw is freed from
the enemy. The corps of General Rudiger is said to be 7,001 or
8,000 men, and to be between Luck and Wlodzimierz. It is
farther stated that the march of Dwernicki's corps through
Wolhynia, Podolia, and the Ukrania, will not experience any
great difficulty, as there is no considerable body of troops in
those parts, and the fertile country will supply the soldiers with
provisions in abundance.
The Polish Courier says: From a letter dated Lublin the
9th inst. we learn that a corps of nearly 30,000 men is in the
vicinity of that city."
The Warsaw Courier says : ‘. It is reported that there was an
engagement on the 18th with a corps of the enemy near Pultusk,
but we have no details either of this action or of that of General
Sierowski with a very superior force. The Russian Head-quarters
are still at Siedlec."

A private letter from Warsaw of the2lst,says : " The defeat of
Gen. Siertovski is fully confirmed. He was not able to reach the
left bank of the Vistula but with great loss. The arrival of Gen.
Dwernicti in Volhynia is said to have made but little impression
here. The Polish Head-quarters are said to have been, on the
20th, at Minsk. Since the 18th in the evening, heavy
artillery ammunition waggons have been continually arriving
in Warsaw, whence it is inferred that the Generalissimo intends
to avoid a battle. Fortifications continue tobe erected at Praga
and Grochow. The Russian troops under General Sacken are
said to have entered Pultusk.

BERLIN, APRIL 21.—There is no confirmation of the report
that our Government intends to interfere by arms in the insur-
rection of Lithuanian Poland. On our side the strictest neutra-
lity is observed, and the insurgeats scrupulously respect the
Russian frontier. The report of negociations with Poland is re-
newed. Two Counts, Lubienski, who have been to London and
Paris, on missions from their Government, are now here.
Fourteen French surgeons lately applied to Count Alopeus, the
Russian Ambassador at Berlin, for passports to Warsaw. He
sent them to our Professor Rust to be examined : only four of
them could show that they were surgeons, and obtained pass-
ports ; the others confessed they new nothingi of physic. The
Belgic General Pontecoulant, who came here from France with
a false passport, as a dyer, has been discovered, and put into
prison.
POSEN, APRIL 20.—1 t is now affirmed that the Grand Duke
Constantine, who at first declined taking the command against
the Poles, will now have the command of a large army in which
there are to be 60,000 Finlanders. On our side 8,),0o0 men are
to be employed in covering the frontiers in Prussia towards Li-
thuania. They will form two corps, over which, as well as over
the third in the Grand Duchy of Posen, Lieut.-General Von
Kraft will have the chief command, under the direction of Field
Marshal Count Giesmar.

ST. PETERSBURGH, APRIL I4.—A report from Count Die.
bit sch dated April 2, announces his new measures for effecting
the passage of the Vistula, which he says will be shortly com-
pleted. The report mentions the attack made on the Ist of April
on the corps of Geismar and Rosen, which he says were obliged
by the superior force of their enemy to retreat, as instructed,
abandoning four pieces of cannon in a marsh. After this event,
the Commander-in-Chief ordered a reconnoissance, to obtain
more accurate information respecting the projects of' the insure
gents ; after which he intended either to pass the Vistula imme-
diately, or to attack the rebels in the flask and the rear, in case
they should make any farther attempts on. the corps of General
Rosen. The troops of the rebels under General rminsky had
precipitately retired towards the Vistula, after the defeat which
they sustained on the 2(ith of March, at Ostrolenka.
BREDA, APRIL tr• .—General Schepern, late Governor of
Venloo, has been set at liberty by the Belgians, and is arrived
here. It is affirmed that the Government of Belgium, in con-
sequence of serious representations from the French Court, in-
tends to set at liberty the Dutch officers who are unjustly de-
tained. It is affirmed that his Majesty's ships in the Scheldte
have received orders to allow ships under the Belgian flag to pass
unmolested.

BERLIN, APRIL 22.—The communication between Memel
and St. Petersburgh will continue till the total suppression of
the disturbances in the government of Wilna, to be carried on
by means of a steam-boat, which will start from Memel every
Monday and Thursday, and from Lebau every Wednesday and
Sunday.
Letters from the frontiers describe the insurrection as assum-
ing a most formidable aspect. The main army is estimated at
15,000 men. With this force they lately marched against Kerono,
which they intended to have occupied, but on finding a Russian
force of 2,500 men stationed there, they thought themselves not
strong enough to venture to an attack, and contented themselves
with occupying Ilobodka, a suburb of Korono.
Our accounts from the interior of Lithuania arc extremely
imperfect, so that we know but little of its real state.
Between Mariawpol and Korono the insurgents have com-
pletely destroyed the chaussee. The destruction of the a
rods
and canals have been successfully attempted on other points, the
consequence of which will be that even if the Russian Govern -
ment should succeed in re-establishing its authority, the con-
veyance of military stores into Poland will for some time tocome
be rendered extremely difficult.
