iOO prisoners, and captured 200 horses. Observ-
ng, however, that the enemy was renewing his
ittacks on the bridge head, with continual supplies
if fresh troops, General Uminski gave orders for
vacuating the post, and then Major Chlewski and
fifty wounded soldiers were made prisoners by the
Russians. '1 he engagement terminated by a heavy
cannonade, and on this occasion our artillerymen
save proofs of extraordinary courage, having only a
ew field-pieces to oppose to a numerous artillery of
large calibre. Our loss on these affairs have been
twenty officers, 160 sub-officers and men, and 200
wounded. On the 16th of April, General Uminski
again took Wygrow, where lie found for'y of our
wounded men, and was enabled to estimate the ex-
tent of the enemy's loss. The number of his wounded
amounted to 400, among whom were Lieutenant-

" All the right bank of the Vistula is cleared of
the enemy: The army corps of Generals Pric and
Sierawski have crossed the river, and are in full
march towards the palatinates of Podiachia and
Lublin, where they are taking possession of the
Russian magazines. General Dwernicki, who was
detained for some time by the badness of the roads
in the -neighbourhood of Zamosc, advanced, in order
'o deceive the enemy, as far as Zwierzyniec, in the
direction of the Vistula, where he gave orders for
collecting supplies of provisions at Turobin and
Zanow. His design of routing the enemy by a
forced march succeeded perfectly, as is attested by
the report of Field-Marshal Diebitsch himself.—
However, General Dwernicki profited by his halt
near Zamosc to provision the fortress more abun-
dandy, to complete its garrison and the army-corps
under his command, by the men taken from the
communal guard, and the volunteers who thronged
' from aft-parts, and as soon as he found the roads
passable, marched towards the Bug. He routed
I and took some enemy's detachments which were
I stationed on that river, which he passed with all his
troops. Thus the noise of our cannon resounded
on that spot which had so long been subjected to a
foreign yoke. Every where on his march General
Dwernicki and his troops were received as deli-
verers by our countrymen, the Volhyidans. The
last report of General Dwernicki is dated three
marches beyond the Bug.

GENERAL ELECTION.

AYLESBURY, MAY I.—The anti-reformers having
declared that they would " die in the last ditch" of
the constitution rather than give in, the folks of this town
and neighbourhood on Friday night, afforded the set a
practical illustration of the language not at all to their
taste. On the night in question, amidst hissings, hoot-
ings, yells, and every conceivable discordant sound, but
with more order Otan characterised the late bear-garden
meeting of the (thank God !) " last " Parliament, the
effigy of the Marquis of Chandos was carried round this
town
.by the populace. After having been thus chaired,
cheered ,and cherished, he—the effigy, I mean,—was thrown
into the " last ditch" of the town—namely, in the New-
raid, just below the " Chandos" Arms, heraldry and effigy
being thus combined to render due honours to the house
and cause of Chandos. The patriotic sacrifice was hailed
with grateful enthusiasm, and the loudest shouts and exult-
ing buzzas from the assembled crowds. Distinct rounds
of plaudits filled the air for the King, and " groans for the
boroughtnongers," which seemed to come front the heart.
"So much for Buckingham." In it letter which appeared
' in the Times of Saturday, you stated that in some vil-
liges canvassed by the Marquis of Chandos, he got very
few promises of votes : allow me to add that it is con-
fidently stated here that out of seven villages canvassed
by the Noble Marquis in the north of this county,
"he did not obtain a single:promise." The Noble
Marquis has been for several days in this town,
arranging his canvass. Does he stay here for the
purpose of awing the electors? Is it indeed meant to be
intimated that if the county be really contested on Thurs-
day, on Friday, when our (Aylesbury) election shall come
on, there will be in the field, or rather brought to the
market, an opponent to Lord Nugent, the great borough-
mongering Duke's brother ? If this threat should be car-
ried into effect, I have great pleasure in assuring you that
we feel no alarm about the result, great as has been the
Duke's and the Marquis's influence here, for the electors
seem to be aroused to such a sense of duty as equally to
despise threats and bribes. In conclusion, it may be stated
that the canvass of the honest, indefatigable, and plain-
sailing Mr. Pascoe Grenfell has been attended with amaz-
ing success.

ROCHESTER.—The election took place en Saturday,
when Mr. Bernal and Mr. Mills were returned without
opposition. In this city the cause of Reform has most
completely triumphed, as not the slightest chance exists
for the Anti-Reform candidate.

NEWARK, SATURDAY, MIDNIGHT.-The Duke of
Newcastle may now say of Newark " farewell, a long
farewell to all my greatness:' The cause of Reform is
triumphant in the person of Mr. Serjeant Wilde ; if every
unpolled vote were now to be given against him, he must
still be returned. The numbers are—.

Mr. Scrjeatit Wilde. 763
F. Hanley, Esq. of Newark 672
Sir Roger Gresley, Bart.

The !ast is the u e s nominee in the place of Mr.
Sadler : he and Mr. Handley had formed a coalition
against the Serjeant ; but the cause of independence is se-
cured, and and they have now quarrelled among them-
selves which of the two is to be the second man.. But the
Duke mutt go to the wall ; Mr. Handley will vote for
Reform, though one of General Gascoyne's number ; and
the answer to the query, " Can I not do what I like with
my own ?" is, "My Lord Duke, Newark is no longer
yours." The Attorney General returned by this place
from his election at Nottingham to London ; he remained
only an hour, and on the opening of the poll this morning
he addressed a powerful speech in favour of his friend the
Serjeant, as the champion of Reform and the independence
of Newark. A number of the choice spirits of Notting-
ham act as volunteers in the good cause, and are exerting
themselves wonderfully.
HENLEY.—The glorious cause of Reform continues
to receive cordial support from every independent free-
holder. Our public meeting on Thursday (T. stone,
Esq., in the Chair), was attended by Mr. Harcourt; and
Mr. Lowndes Stone, on behalf of Major Weyland. Mr.
Harcourt satisfactorily explained his principles on the sub •
ject of Reform, stating that he had assisted materially in
the measure, and had determined to continue that assist-
ance until completed.— Reading Mercury.
NORTHUMBERLAND.—Lord Howick has accepted
the invitation of the freeholders, and will stand for the
county in conjunction with Mr. Beaumont.
TRURO --Tuesday is the day of election, when Lord
Falmouth will, as usual, nominate two Members. Lord
Encombe will be one; Mr. Peach retires, and it is ex-
pected that Sir Richard Vyvyan will take his place, in
anticipation of hie expected defeat for the county of Corn-
wall. Mr. W. Tooke is in the field, and will be put in
nomination by the burgesses at large.
ASHBURTON.—Mr. Poyntz again offers himself on
the Reform interest ; and Colonel Torrens, on the same
interest.

STAMFORD.—The Marquis of Exeter scruples at
nothing in conducting the election at Stamford. Besides
the 36 boxers who were sent from London, 300 mei,
have been hired at ris. a-day. They are armed with
large sticks or staves. A regular battle takes place every
evening, and hitherto the boroughmongers' party have
been well pummelled. Money, beer, meat, promises, and
wore especially threats, are dealt out in profusion by the
Noble Marquis. Confident hopes are nevertheless enter-
tained that he will be signally defeated.
CORNWALL.—We have the pleasure of learning that
the utmost exertions are making in the cause of Reform.
Hundreds, hundreds of freeholders, have agreed not only
to come themselves, but to bring their poorer neighbours
to the poll free of expense. They are even in many ptaeee
-talting beef, pickling hams, and laying stores of provi-
slows, to carry with them to the election, in order to put
