" WARSAW, FEB. 21, ELEVEN O'CLOCK, A.M.
" 1 must give you the news of the fight of my unfortu-
nee country. The war began on the 14. th of this month,
'When, in a small affair, General Dwernicki took eleven
pieces of cannon, with horses and baggage, with 230 pri-
soners. In several skirmishes kind Heaven gave us the
victory ; but the most essential affair has now occurred :
our Commander de.ignedly allowed the enemy to approach
within a league of Warsaw, and the battle, which still
lists, began on the 19th, at six o'clock in the morniog.—
During these two days we have been eontinnally ad-
vancing ; we have already a great nutnbet of wounded ;
but on the other side the carnage has been terrible ; at
the same time we are as yet unable to state any this ;le.
cisive. We can distinctly see the field of batet from the
city, and the continual firing of the caeer.-‘ms. You can
easily imagine our feelings at seeing blood flow below our
city, for the fate of our unhappy country ; but what can
me do? To•morrew we shall be lost or saved.
" P.S. Noon.—A second report from Get•=_`sl Dwer-
nicki has just arrived. We believe P.-At are now no
Russians on the right bank of the Vistult.
" The postscript here refers to an advantage gained by
General Dwernicki over a Russian ccrps commanded by
Geismar, which had passed the Vistula at Pelawy, the
ward: of which inspired serious anxiety et Tarsaw."
VVABSAIV, FEB. 21.
" It is now under the walls: et Warsaw that our army is
er.ery (lay fighting. General Diebitsch is at the ii—of
the Russian masses, which marched by the `outer of
&edler and Wengrow. The Polish array; unable to re4ist
these masses, has been concentrated since the 17th around
Praga. The Russians are slrongly established in the
forests, situated at a little distance. They accept partial
eombata without wishing for a general engagement. 'The
Poles endeavour to draw them into the plain, but then
they retire into the woods, where the cavalry cannot pur-
sue them, and where they arc besides protected by a for-
midable artillery. In these different battles the advantage
is always on the side of the Poles; but it is to be feared
that numbers will at last prevail. The loss of the Rus
sans is estimated at 10,000 men. Several hundreds of
prisoners have been brought to the city, along with about
1,000 wounded Poles.
" The Polish General Dwernicki, who, after a bril-
liant engagement, passed the Vistula at Gorse to stop the
march of the Prince of Wurtemberg, has had with him,
near Kozienaice, a battle, in which he repulsed him, and
took several cannon. This Prince is under the orders of
another Russian General, named Kreutz, but no other is
mentioned but himself. He is the horror of Poland, be-
cause he was born in Poland, and because be deserted, at
the insurrection, a brigade of Polish Lancers whom he
commanded, although he is the nephew of Prince Adam
Czartoriski.

" It is impossible to paint the heart-rending spectacle
which Warsaw presented on the 19th. The anxiety pro-
Winced by the battle, which was seen from all points corn-
m aiding the Vistula, and the zeal of the inhabitants stand-
ing round the waggons of the wounded to otter them as-
sistance. The work of erecting the interior barricades
was interrupted, and it is thought that if the Polish army,
yielding to numbers, is finally driven hack, this unfortu-
nate city will only attempt a useless resistance, the conse-
quences of which tertily the imagination.
" The force of the Russian army before Praga is not ex-
actly known."

The following news from the theatre of war was pub-
lished at Warsaw on the 21st ult. t--
" NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR.

" The battle which was generally expected began tin the
19th, near Groucho, at ten o'clock in the morning, and
lasted till six in the evening. The most terrible of the
firing took place between two and four o'clock. In the
evening, General Clicki published that he had received
from head-quarters news that our army had fought with
the greatest bravery. During the whole of the day it had
not lost a single inch of ground, and it killed a great num-
ber of the enemy. The field of battle remained in our
power. The whole of yesterday they were employed
in bringing to Warsaw wounded Poles and Russians,
as well as Russian prisoners. In the two armies
three hundred and forty pieces of carmen were in action.
It is supposed that the enemy has lost 10,000 men. At one
o'clock two regiments of Russians) picked men, advanced
towards our line. '1 be 4th Regiment of the line, and the
Ist of Light Infantry, charged them with the bayonet, and
the charge wax so terrible and bloody, that of the two
Russian regiments scarcely 20 men escaped. The Gene-
ral has sent to the National Government two stand of
colours and two cannon. It would appear that beside,
the 2d battalion of Grenadiers which has been dispersed,
and some squadrons of the 4th Regiment of Chasseurs,
we have not suffered much. The enemy retired for the
utht to the surrounding woods of Milosna.
" To-day, at eight o'clock, a. en., the cannonade began,
and has continued till seven o'clock in the evening. There-
at:its are not yet known. It is certain,bowever, that our
soldiers have gained ground, in spite of the strong cannon-
ade of the Russians. The Russians have again retired into
the wood•. To-morrow, the Ciird day, the battle will be
renewed."—Extract from the Official Journal.
