DUTCH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE; SEPT. I.—ln the absence of au-
thentic and direct accounts, as well from Warsaw
as from the Russian head-quarters, it is no wonder
that there are manifold reports in circulation, modi-1
fied according to the wishes of those that spread
them. Thus, among statements favourable to the
Russians, we are told, not only that negotiations are
commenced, but that they are ended with the re-
sult that Warsaw has surrendered to the Russians,
and that, with the assent of Count Paskewitseh,
who had announced a general amnesty, Prince A.
Czartorvski had assumed the Government of Poland
with the title of Viceroy.

. •

Pozyski, dated the 25th August, from Ostrowicz,
he province of Sandomier, in which he says that no
news of any kind came from Warsaw, because the
city was completely invested by the Russian:. The
General, however, believed that the Poles had
gained some advantage on their left wing. Hence it
3,.peary, that the reports of the battles at Socharzew
ald Kole, which in themselves appeared improbable,
deserve little credit, and seem, indeed, not to have
been regarded in Cracow itself.
Accounts from Constantinople of the 10th con-
firm the accounts of the dreadful fire which destroyed
the whole suburb of Pera on the 2d of August. The
lire commenced in a quarter very distant from Pera
itself and inhabited by the lowest class of Greeks
and Armenians ; but a violent north wind caused
the itimes to spread, so that several quarters were
on fie at once. To this was added the want of
water, and still more of the necessary hands and
good regulations. At noon the flames had reached
Pera itself, and at eleven at night that suburb no
loever existed. The large Palaces inhabited by the
English, French, Dutch, Prussian, Sardinian, and
I) wish Ambassadors, with all the valuable effects,
fell a prey to the flames. The Episcopal Church
and two of the Roman Catholic Churches shared
the same fate ; nor was it possible to save any of
the sacred utensils.

The Palace of the Austrian Ambassador was
saved; as it seems, by the exertions of the crews of
some Austrian vessels, also the Russian Chancery,
which is close to it, the Church of Terra Santa,
and some adjoining houses. The number of build-
ings of stone and woad that are burnt is above
4,000, All Pera is a heap of ashes and crumbling
not above ten houses remaining entire. The
damage, in consequence of the destruction of the
Palaces of the Ambassadors, and other stone build-
ings was immediate. At the beginning of the fire
a vast quantity of property was removed to them, as
being deemed safe from all danger. "Itis a most
afflicting sight," says the account," to see the thou-
sands of people without shelter, without clothing, or
tilt means of subsistence, who crowded the streets
of Pera. Subsequently they dispersed in the neigh-
bouring places, and great numbers have found a re-
fuge in the capital, as the Sultan, by a special ordi-
nance, has allowed the Turks to let their houses to
Christians. The Sultan has expressed great dissa-
tisfaction at the little assistance afforded by the
Turkish arrangements for extinguishing the fire, and
has testified to the Foreign Ambassadors his regret
at their loss. He has given large sums to be distri-
buted among the sufferers; and, as usual, expressed
his sorrow to the Ambassadors by a present of
flowers, fruits, and confectionary."
In addition to the plague, which had prevailed
for some time at Constantinople, the cholera was
very destructive. Since the beginning of August
between 2,000 and 3,000 persons had been attacked
by this disorder, which, however, seemed to be less
malignant than in other places.
The new American Ambassador, Commodore
Porter, arrived at Constantinople on the 10th, with
the ratification of the Treaty of Commerce con-
cluded last year between the Porte and the United
States.

The Turkish fleet had been cruising for some time

in the Greek Seas.

BREDA, SEPT. S.—The Prince of Orange and
Prince Frederick went yesterday to the environs of
Terhendon and Gertruydenberg, to view, with the
Chief Officers of the Etigincer4, certain point.: con-
nected with the defence of our territory.
BERLIN, SEPT. 4.—From the absence of any posi-
tive or certain intelligence, great obscurity prevails
as to the state of affairs in Warsaw and the Rus-
sian army.
In the Cracow Journal, of August 30, it is men-

Toned twat a letter Ivis been received in that town

from the Polish General Th‘zyaki, dated from Ostro-
wicz (on the road from Radom, near Sandomier,
about ten miles from the latter place) the 25th of
August, in which he statcs, that he receives no cer-
tain intelligence from Warsaw, in consequence of
that capital being entirely surrounded by the Rus-
sian troops. He gives assurances, however, that the
Poles have obtained an advantage on their left wing.
At the time of writing the letter the force under the
command of General Rozyski was preparing to

march upon Radom.
After this statement, there can no longer be any
doubt of the falsehood of the report circulated in
Berlin and elsewhere of the defeat of General Ru-
diger by General Rozyski, on the 30th of August,
near Szylowice.
The Austrian Journals state, on the authority of
accounts from the frontiers of Gallicia, dated
August 2+, that the fortress of Zamosc was then
closely invested by the Russians. Several sorties
made by the garrison had been repulsed by the be-
' siegers. In one of these sorties, on the 16th, the
Poles lost 600 men in killed and wounded. In
another, which took place on the following day, the
whole of the suburbs were set fire fire to, and de-
stroyed partly by the Russians, and partly by the
Poles themselves.

General Kaisaroff, who has his head-quarters at
Sirno, near Zamosc, had received accounts from Ge-
neral Rosen to the 16th ; on which day that Com-
mander, who advances against Warsaw from the
east side, had the main body of his army at Minsk,
and his vanguard at Dembi-Wielki.
HAMBURG, SEPT. 6.—At the moment when the
friends of the Poles at Berlin apprehended that they
must expect to hear of the junction of General Ru-
diger with Marshal Paskewitsch, and the conse-
quent surrender of Warsaw, accounts reached the
Prussian capital from Thorn by no means favourable
to the Russian cause. Meanwhile it appears that
no data have been received at Berlin on which it
can, upon any solid grounds, be ascertained what
events have occurred.

We learn with regret, that in consequence of the
regulations made at Stettin on account of the cho-
lera, very serious troubles have occurred.
The cholera has broken out at Sweaborg, on the
south coast of Finland.

The Petersburgh steam-packet Nicolas has ar-
rived at Lubeck. Among the passengers is the
Duke of Mortemart (probably the French Ambas-
sador) with his son and secretary.

WOOLLEN TRADE.—We hear with pleasure
that the woollen trade of Leeds has improved within the
last two or three weeks, though it is by no means brisk at
present. One great advantage is derived from the fact
that the supply of manufactured goods does not exceed the
fair demand, and this is produced by the manufacturers
very wisely diminishing their hours of labour, to free the
=tint from any glut of goods. In the Bank district,
where the stuff manufacture chiefly prevails, the workmen
are all well employed, at tolerably fair wages, and the
toasters consider the trade in a satisfactory state.—Leeds
Mercury.

On Saturday information was received at the
different police offices of the following daring burglaries :
On Thursday morning last, some thieves gained an entrance
into the house of Mr. JOHN BLUNDELL, landlord of the
Torrington Arms, Mill-wall, Poplar, by forcing the back
window. They went into Mr. BLUNDELL'S bed room,
and, unheard, forced his drawers with a chisel, and ex-
tracted 97 sovereigns, a bill of exchange for 1001., and a
stock receipt for 1,2001.,3 per Cent. Consols, with which
they got clear off. The same day the house of Mrs.
CLAYTON, of No. 5, Kennington-place, Lambeth, was
feloniously entered by some thieves, by means of false keys,
and robbed of a number of silver spoons, some jewellery,
about 31. in cash, and various other articles. On Thursday
i-vening, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, the
house of Mr. BOTIIRELL, No. 40, New Rochester•row,
Tothill-fields, was feloniously entered during the absence
of the family, and robbed of about 41. in silver, and a silver
watch.
