DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS BY THE POLES.

Just as we were going to Press, we have received the
following truly glorious account of another Polish Victory :
WassAw, April I.—The Polish Courier contains *repot, dated
yesterday, addressed by the Commander.in-Chief, Gen. Skrsynecki, to
the National Government, according to which his advanced guard yes-
terday attacked Gen. Geismar's corps, which occupied a strong posidon
near Wawr. After a two hour's struggle, the corps was beaten
back, and closely pursued on the road to Minsk. Every
effort of the enemy was baMed; and even Gen. Rosen's corps, sta-
tioned at Denibe Wielaki, were unable to restrain the Polish troops;
who, at the end of the battle, occupied the frontiers of the enemy. Ac-
cording to the further accounts of this report, the loss of the Russians
amounted to several thousand men ; ours is only between 4 and 600,
owing to the attack having been unexpected.
According to the latest intelligence, the Polish head-quarters are at
Minsk. General Lubinski is at Zawody. _ _ _

Barium, tith April.—Prons a Latter.—Letter from Warsaw have been
'mired here, by express, which contain the details of the very serious
tic's which the corps of Gen. Geismar has sustained by an attack from
the Poles, under Skrsynecki, executed with equal boldness
and success, on the 31st March and lit April. The Polish
Commander-in-Chief was informed of the negligence of the
Russians at We're and Grochow, in their cantonments and camp.
He led a corps of 25,000 men, on the 30th ult. to Prop, and on
the night of March 31, approached the Russian amp: the road
was covered with straw, so that the artillery and cavalry advanced
without• being perceived, to which the darkness of the night did
not a little contribute. The advance guard of General Geismar,
consisting of eight or ten thousand men, was first attacked,
and almost wholly destroyed. The Poles took 4,000 prisoners,
and sixteen pieces of cannon : the latter, ornamented with green
bought, were brought into Warsaw. Sknyneeki followed up his
•ictory, •and fell upon the corps of General Rosen, who with twenty
thousand men, was posted at Dembi-Wielki. He, too, was
obliged •to surrender to the impetuous attack of the l'oks,
and lost 2,000 prisoners, and nine pieces of cannon. The Russians
retired by way of Minsk, to join the main body of the army. Some
of their fugitives fled to Siedlec, whither they were pursued by the
Cracowites. Sknyneckl had, on the Ist of April, his head-
quarters at Minsk, where, however', he will hardly be
able to maintain himself, as soon as Diesbitsch, with
his whole force, advances against him. The moral impres.
sion which this victory, by which at least 20,000 Russians are
put hors de tenant, will make. especially in the provinces in the rear
of the army, is incalculable ; for their fanatic priests,
as formerly in Spain and Tyrol, excite the pea-
sants to insurrection, and these savage hordes increase to such
threatening masses, that the Russians, civil officers, and frontier posts
are obliged to dike refuge in the Prussian territory.—Haralairg Corres-
pondent of April 9.

The last advices from Warsaw stated, that the city was
protected only by the chic guard. What had become of
the army was concealed ; but it now appears that the Com-
mander-in-Chief, having ascertained that the Russians had
assembled on the Vistula, with a design to cross the river,
advanced with the Polish army, attacked their positions,
killed 2000, and captured six or 7000 more, besides taking
twenty-five or twenty six pieces of cannon.
This intelligence reached Paris by telegraph, and was
communicated by SEBASTIAN I to the Deputies in the
Chamber. It is also said that the Russians are in general
retreat ; and it is confirmed by various advice., that Lithuania
is in general insurrection ; and its capital, Wilna, in posses-
sion of the Polish patriots.
BELOW WAR WITH HOLLAND.
The Belgians seem to be actuated ip by one soul, in their
abhorrence of the House of ()Rano'. Its partisans have
been victorious over popular resentment through every pro-
vince; and we have to-day accounts of this anti-Orange spirit
at Ypres, Namur, Dinant, and Ghent. This last conspleacy
of the Orangists, and the announcement that France insi-
diously concurs in the protocol, which sanctions the separa-
tion of the fine and extensive province of Luxembsigh from
the rest of Belgium, have decided the Belgians, at ill ha-
zards, to announce inevitable war against the Bing of
Holland. In the meantime, the aimed intervention
of Prussia, seem more than doubtful ; add i war of popular
rights oi one side, and of s sucklt wiriest oa the other,

Court is openly denounced by M. Roammx, in the Belgic
Congress, and be invoked the French people to make can-
non cause with the Belgian people. It is obvious, there-
fore, a popular war against the diplomacy, and armies of
the old courts, is about to commence in Belgium. The
following was the language of M. RoasuLx The
" French Government abandons the cause of the people;
"it renounces its noble origin. Let us make use
"of all our resources; let as call on the army, the
" volunteers, the first band of the civic guard; and, if ne-
" imagery, the whole nation will rise en .slue.—(Bravo in,
" the galleries.) The time is past to put us under the yoke.
" Do you know what will happen if the Government of
" Louis PHILIPPI continues? It will lead us to a second
" Revolution ; and, unhappily, those who have betrayed the
" present Revolution, will bring back the disasters of 93,
" which we all abhor. Ministers of Belgium, you have
" our fate in your bands! We are ready for every sacri-
" floe

Our Readers will regret to find, that what appears to be
the latest accounts from Italy, represent that the Austrians
have been completely victorious; and that the struggle of
the Patriots is at an end. Ancona is said to be in possession
of the Austrians, and the Insurgent Army all surrendered or
fled. Even so completely vanquished does the account
represent the Patriots to be, that it is stated, that General
Zuccur, and the other Insurrectionary Leaders, had taken
flight in a ship from Italy.
Perhaps we have hardly any grounds to doubt the cap-
ture of Ancona ; but some other passages which weiobserve
in the French papers, are, we consider, of a character a little
lirreconcileable, with so complete a destruction of the Italian
army ; and if we be supported in our suspicion, of one peso
of the present. intelligence, may we not doubt the correctness
of the whole ? Our readers will perceive, It all events,
with much interest, an account of a battle fought before
Cattolica, in which the Patriotic Italians appear to
have fought like -- what shall we say,— like Polu ;
or their own predecessors so famed in history. If it be true,
that on the 27th, the Austrians absolutely received a check
so signal—if it be true that they retreated—is it probable,
that on the 29th, the Italians were so completely routedood
without, it would appear from the Austrian account;, my
fighting whatever ? The paesage, we allude to, is the letter
from Milan, given in Le Ifessfiger des Chastsbra ; and re-
ported, with alight,variation, in Le Coustitutitnusel.
We have another history of the transaction, anterior to the
asserted capture of Ancona ; which is rather minute, and, in
some degree, corroborative of the Milan letters but which
excludes any mention whatever, of the battle before Catto-
lice. We are then, either driven to the necessity of con-
sidering the battle as entirely a fiction, or of conjecturing,
that it war a victory, and therefore passed over sub sitentio.
The passage is—

May we be allowed from such discrepancies, to indulge in
hopes, that the insurgents are not so completely defeated as
is represented in the Austrian accounts? One palpable absur-,
dity is observable, in the supposed latest paragraph ; fbr
General ZUCCHI could not have embarked on the 20th, sod
headed his army on the 27th.

We subjoin copious extracts from the Prussian, Polish,
and Dutch papers, received this afternoon, in which will be
found, various passages confirming the intelligence already
mentioned of a rising in Lithuania; and of several great
victories achieved by the Poles.

There are numerous arrivals this morning, not only from
the Continent, but the Eastern and Western worlds.

In Canton papers to the sth December, we find it stated,
on the arrival of the Ann and Amelia Company's ship, on
the 23d November, it was announced that she was the
bearer of orders from the Court of Directors, for the retire-
ment from office of the President, and two senior members
of the Select Committee.

New York papers to the let ult. are received, by the Loa-
don line of packet ship, Hannibal, Captain Hebbard ; but
they do not convey any news of importance.

Mails have likewise arrived here from Rio Janeiro and
Buenos Ayres. It would appear by the private letter from
the Agent to the North and South American Coffee-house,
stilts latter place, that the provinces are far from being in a
settled ebb ; lad commerce had been suffering greedy in
ceesequenos. Our limits do not admit of our entering into
the den& before no this day ; but we will probably revert to
them, ea another occasion.

The Reform Meeting of the county of Warwick, on Mon-
day last, was one of the most imposing that has taken
place. It consisted of upwards of 15,000 persons, 5000 of
whom came from Birmingham, 2000 of whom were mem-
bers of the Union, who arrived in procession, and Were
joined by the Unions of Coventry and Warwick. The chief
gentry of the county were present, as well as the most con-
siderable merchants and manufacturers from Birmingham,
&c. &c. Among the former were the Lords HOOD and
DORMER, the Baronets SKIPWITH, CHETWYND, and
PHILLIPS, and Mean. CANNING, LAWLEY, WEST,
GIIZOOMT, CLIFFORD, KNIGHT, Tomas, DUGDALZ, &C.
Prom Birmingham, there were Messrs. ATTWOOD,
SCHOLETIELD, GALTON, EDMUNDS, &C. &C. besides hun-
dreds of respectable residents. The speakers were Mr.
GALTON, Mr. PARKES, Mr. ATTWOOD, Mr. EDMUNDS,
Mr. LAW LET, and Mr. DUODALE, the last of whom, after
some hesitation, pledged himself to support the bill. Much
resentment was felt at the insidious character of
a political sermon, preached on the previous day at
Warwick ; but it had no other effect than to produce a
general feeling of contempt, for the abuse of a sacred office.
• Further particulars we are obliged to postpone for our
Panorama to-morrow ; and we are sorry that no Warwick
shire Paper was transmitted earlier, and that the neglect has
prevented an earlier account being given to the public of a
day so glorious and so memorable in every respect.

While we extend our charities to the Irish, our sympathies
to the Blacks, and our patriotic sentiments to the Poles, Bel-
gians, and Italians, it behoves us not to transport all our
feelings abroad, and forget our homes and our brethren of
the British family. If the tumults in the agricultural dis-
tricts were put down by force of law, and exhausted them-
selves by destroying the obnoxious causes, we must not for-
get that no positive act of legislation has yet relieved the
malcontents ; and if the petitioners who complained of poi-
pant distress in every branch of industry in 1829 and 1830,
have converted their petitions into demands far reform, and
allowed their attention to be diverted, we must not forget that
by a Parliamentary metaphor their numerous petitions still
lie on the table unanswered. The unpopularity of WEL-
LINGTON was created as much by denying the existence of
distress, as by denying that reform was necessary ; and if
politicians forget this, or wish to have it forgotten, the suf-
fering people have long memories, and hourly causes to re-
member. We are in truth led to make these observations,
by complaints, from the thirty-two points of the compass, of
the miserable and ruinous state of all trade, wholesale, retail,
manufacturing, mercantile, shopkeeping, and handicraft. If
there are transactions there is no profit ; and if a possibility
of profit, no transactions. Again, there is neither credit nor
currency for enterprize : the panic destroyed the first in De-
cember 1825, and the Ministry of the day, with self-com-
placent ignorance, destroyed the other. The panic paralyzed
the energies of the country, the Ministry completed the de-
struction of what the panic began, and Peel's Bill was the
coup de grace 1 Now all this wrong must be set right, false
steps must be retraced, and wiser Ministers and a Parlia-
ment instructed by the evidence of facts, must grapple with
this subject, and QUICKLY-if we are to be a great commer-
cial people, and if we are to continue to pay twangy times
the taxes collected at the Revolution. It is a subject not to
be evaded ; and the reasonable demands of the people have
been baffled too long. The landed and commercial interests
equally cry aloud ; and none are at their ease except fund-
holders, placemen, lawyers, and pensioners—classes who,
at the same time, are not positively benefitted by the dil-
-1 tresses of the rest of the community.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.-EICLUSIVE.
FOR THE STAR.

SATURDAY EVIZING.
TO THE EDITOR.
Slß—Just after I had sent off my packet on Wednesday,
I learnt the intelligence of the taking of Ancona, by the
Austrians ; and regret that I had not the news sufficiently
early to communicate to you. I, however, had a friend,
Baron Wasner, who left Paris Wednesday evening; and I
embraced that opportunity of forwarding a few lines to you,
stating the particulars ; and likewise the melancholy tidings
of the death of Napoleon Bonaparte, eldest son of the
Count de Saint Len ; his death was occasioned by measles.
The news from Poland continues, as you will see, to be
of the most cheering description ; and it is now believed that
some negociation will be set on foot, to put a stop to any
further effusion of blood. From the perplexed condition of
Russia, particularly after this second defeat, and the ru-
moured internal commotion, she will doubtless willingly
listen to mediation ; and the Poles will obtain that indepen-
dence, for which they have been so prodigal of their lives.
There is still much mystery respecting the Courier who
lately arrived at the Russian Embassy ; but it is broadly
asserted, that there is a general insurrection in Lithuania;
and the hurried retreat of the Russian army, upon all points,
confirms the report. Should the alleged insurrection have
taken place in Wilna—of which there is every likelihood—it
will give a lively impulse to Russian Poland. No doubt, the
youth of that capital will act with energy; and promptly follow
the enthusiastic example of the brave men, who, in the month
of November, broke the sceptre of Russia in Warsaw. The
proclamation of Jermoloff, in the Cosatitettionnel, chews that
the Emperor Nicholas may, some day, soon have his hands
full at home. Turkey, too, is said to be actively preparing,
and anxiously watching to take advantage of the embarrass-
ments of Russia. General Excelmans, who was said to be
in Poland, is still in Paris.
The funds have risen rapidly. I hinted to you in my
last, that this was likely to be the case ; and them is now
every prospect of their continuing firm. The Ministry is still
confident of being able to • maintain peace ; and yet they
I impose fresh taxes ; contract loans ; have extraordinary
credits ; and call out the young soldiers from all quarters+
and all this, three wreeks before the time originally intended.
Great confidence is entertained by Government, that
the answer from Austria will be favourable to
the wishes of the diplomatic corps; but from the Austrian
proceedings in Italy, this does not seem very probable--s
few days will set all at rest. The French Journals of the
day are rather barren of public news i • and are chiefly occu-
pied with the trial of the republican students. I forward
packet of them, and remain,

POLAND.
In the Chamber of Deputies of Saturday, the Minister
of Foreign Affairs (Sebastian) entered, accompanied 11
several deputisi. A general movement was immediately

perceived duce* the house ; and in a few minutes the
deputies, having all descended from their respective seats,
formed in groups, and the particulars of this emotion we
learned to be as follow :—An extraordinary courier from
the French Consul at Warsaw has just arrived, bearing
the news of a great defeat of the Russian army. The
number of Russians hilted is 2,000, the prisoners and
wounded between 7,000 and 8,000. The Poles have taken
from 20 to 25 pieces of cannon. The Poles, in this affair,
were acting ox the offensive. This news, which appears to
have been brought into the Chamber, by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, is credited.
Various reports have circulated respecting the despatches
which were brought by the last courier to the Rustle= em-
bassy. The following received most credit :—" Orders have
armed from the interior of the empire, which have hastened
the retreat of the Russian troops in oland upon all points.
Grave events in the interior, movements upon the frontiers
of Sweden, Turkey, and Persia, have been the cause of
this retreat. We regret that we have not the power of sup-
porting by any certain intelligence this important rumour ;
which, if it had been at all well founded, or even in part,
would have an immense influence on future events.

WARSAW, MAUCH 28.—The Gazette d'Etats of this
day states that the French Colonel, Baron Romarino, has
just arrived at Warsaw, and is disposed to enter into our
ranks, to combat with us the enemies of the national cause.
According to the same journal, Count Rosen, the Russian
General, who had received the order from Field-Marshal
Diebitach, to enter into the palatinate of Plock to chase our
troops, has been obliged to retreat: now all the country to
the Narew, is evacuated by the Russians.

BELGIUM.

M. Talleyrand has announced to his Government, that be
has just signed at London a new Protocol, in virtue of which
the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is decidedly recognised as
belonging to the King of Holland, and the Duchy of Lim-
burg as forming part of Belgium. It is recognised, in the
terms of the Protocol, that the troops of the German confe-
deration will immediately occupy the Grand Duchy, and the
restoration of the country of Limburg will take place in-
stantly, to the Belgian Government.—Gasette de France.
We read in the Courier des Pays Bas of the day before
yesterday, the following important news : " The Council
of Ministers, after mature deliberation, has just ordered that
Belgium shall take the defence of Luxembourg, even at the
risk of giving birth to a general war. Troops will be placed
upon the frontiers, on the side of the Seure, and Moselle, at
Echtermacb, at Grevenmacher, and at Renaiur. The day
before yesterday, two thousand muskets were dispatched, for
the arming the civic guard."
PRINCE LZOPOLD KING or BSLOIVM.—For some
days news has been spread at Brussels that Prince Leopold
of England would become King of Belgium. The journals
discuss it as if it were true er probable : it is spoken of in
the saloons, and even the details upon the ents
which will be the consequence of this accession! ranremcon-
eider that the news is premature. Where will be the eqne-
lity of supremacy, of influence, of material advantages, and
our just pretensions will they be satisfied or indemnified, if
France give a Queen to Belgium,whenEngland gives a King ?
It is the peace of Europe which is required to be main-
tained ; England, we think, is as much interested in that,
and perhaps more than other nations. As for the rest, in
the affairs of Belgium, France which showedso much mode-
ration, in order not to give umbrage to rival pewees, that
she refused a country when it was offered to her, will, with-
out doubt, not permit that any other should establish itself'
in a position, and supplant her upon a territory of which
the neutrality must be reepeceed under penalty of a general
war."—Le Temps.

ITALY.

An extraordinary courier, dispatched from Ancona on the
30th of March, announced what follows :—" On the 29th of
March, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the imperial troops
occupied the city and citadel of Ancona, without experiencing
the slighest resistance."
...

It isstill affirmed that there will be a Congress at Rome to
treat of the affairs in Italy, in which Great Britain would
be represented by Sir Brook Taylor brother of Sir Herbert
Taylor, private secretary of the fling of England. Mr.
Mandeville, secretary to the embassy, will in that case, it is
added, go very shortly to Rome, to perform the duties of
secretary to the English legation.
We may consider the Italian insurrection as finished. On
the 29th of March, the imperial troops occupied, without re-
sistance, Ancona and its fortresses, under the resins of which
the Patriots bad sworn to be buried ! They have judged it
more suitable to lay down their arms, at the first approach of
the imperial troops. Cardinal lenerenuti, whom his
Holiness bad sent as Legate a latere, in the insurgent pro-
vinces, and whom the insurgents had carried off prisoner
from Bologna, has peaceably taken possession of the go-
vernment which was confided to him. He has so far ex-
tended his generosity as to give to all the rebels who had
taken refuge at Ancona, passports to return to their homes.
Zucchi, and the other Chiefs of the insurrection embarked on
the 20th on board a merchantman' entirely abandoning to
their fate the men whom they had drawn in their train. M.
de Saint Aulaire was admitted, on the 26th, to present his
letters of credit to the Holy Father.—La Quotidienne.
MILAN, MARCH 31.—Extract of a private letter :
The Austrian authorities are in trouble, because they begin
to learn that the triumphs of General Frimont have cost them
very dear. To take Rimini, General Geppert was obliged
to charge with all Isis troops, and to have recourse to the
Congreve rockets to induce the patriots to withdraw; and
still they only did so to spare the city of Rimini, which
without that, would have bees a prey to the flames. But
that which renders our authorities still more sad, is, that on
the 27th, the patriots obtained a signal advantage over the
Austrians at Cattolica' notwithstanding the assurances of
our Gazette, which made them take to their heels. The
following are the details which have reached us upon
that affair. In the combat of the 25th, the Austrians
were attacked by the Patriots, who had waited for
them in the environs of Santa Maria dells Calle,
and of Sant-A will°, where they were well defended by the
position, and skillfully commanded by Generals Zucchi and
Grabanski. Gen. Plini directed the artillery. The battle
lasted more than two hours in that position, and when they
could no more oppose themselves with advantage to the
immense superiority of the assailants, they retreated upon
the Faubourg of Rimini, and continued the fire until night.
Then the Patriots withdrew into Rimini, carrying with them
all their wounded. On the 26th, the Austrians commenced
their movement towards Cattolica, where the Patriots had
taken a position ; but arriving at Sanhorenro-Instrado, they
were sharply attacked by a Guerrilla of Patriots, and lost
many men : this did not prevent them advancing unto
Arione and Fontenelle. The Patriots were posted
at Terra-dells-Conca, Terra-dells-Cattolica, and at Sew-
clano. The bulk of their army was at Cattolica. Towards
evening, the General sent a flag of truce to General Zucchi,
to engage him to surrender •, but the reply was a negative.
During all the night of the 26th there was no engagement;
but on the 27th, towards 9 o'clock in the morning, thefiring
commenced on both sides. The Austrians, perceiving that
they would lose many men by engaging mthe combat,
wished to push on to the assault of Cattolica ; but the pa-
triots sustained during two consecutive hours the charges of
the cavalry, and the well kept up fire of the artillery. In the

meantime, a corps of patriots wbo were at Misaano and Biga-
mies, came fortunately to increase the number of the defenders
of the country, and bringing with them four field-pieces, com-
menced an attack upon the flank of the Austrians. During
three hours, the Austrians were several times upon the point
of taking Cattolica, but they were always foiled : thus 3000
patriots, novices in the art of war, fought against more than
10,000 Austrians, Hungarians, and Tyrolese, old in arms.
At last, towards three o'clock in the afternoon, thi firing
ceased by degrees, and the Austrians retreated towards Ri-
mini. The resistance and courage of the patriots have excited
enthusiasm in the Marches, and from all villages the
peasants flock in crowds to fight for the country. The Aus-
trians lost on the 27th, mere than 1000 men, as many killed,
wounded, and prisoners; and at San-Laxaro, a guerilla
caused a whole battalion to lay down their arms. General
Geppert has demanded a reinforcement of 12,000 men before
he recommences hostilities. It is certain that the patriots
cannot resist for a long time; but at least they will revenge
the national honour, and sell their liberty dear.—Prom the
Massager des Chasnbres.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The private letters from Paris give as the cause of the
great rise in their funds as follows :—The Bank of France
have lent to the Government the sum of 25 millions of
francs (one million sterling) for the motive of operating
upon the stock market, and previous to the conclusion of
the Loan, the Government have been buying 3 per Cents
Rents with that money for several days past, and by that
means have succeeded in frightening the speculators for a
fall, and making stock very scarce. How far this manoeuvre
will succeed in the face of large loans, and with the cer-
tainty that all the stock must be again thrown on the market,
remains to be seen.

Letters from Antwerp of the Bth inst. state that all RIM
quiet there.
Consols have receded since the early part of the morning,
when they were done at 81 to 80 ; at which price they are
at present.

THEIR MAJESTIES.
WINDSOR, Arm 10.
About ten o'clock both the horse and foot regiments had

chapter of St. Matthew, verse 7. MOZART'S Anthem, ar-
ranged by PRATT, " Plead thou my cause," was beautifully
sang by Messrs. FRENCH, JARMAN, HARRIS, and Master

The KING, accompanied by Lord EDGCONBE, Sir W.
FREMANTLE, Lord ROW/MOW, and others of his suite,

hours. The QUIEN, with her attendants, gratified a nu-
merous assemblage of Nobility and Gentry, by walking
through the terrace this afternoon daring the grand prome-
nade. Her MAJESTY proceeded on foot through the
various Slops to Adelaide Cottage, and, on her return,
attended the afternoon service at St. George's chapel. Yes-

through the Park for two hours. Princess AuoVSTA, the
LAnnoaAvors, and Lady Fazwarm.s, drove through
the town, by Eton-college and Salt-hill, and returned by

ing, the Rev. Mr. CUST, Lady COST, and Captain COST,
had the honour of dining with their MAJESTIES.

and Austrian embassies, &c. The families before named,

the Earl of Sefton, at Stoke Farm.
The Duke of Richmond came to town on Saturday from
Newmarket

It is said that the ax-Royal Family of France will shortly
leave Britain, in consequence of certain disclosures of the
plans of some of their agents. Spain is mentioned to be
their destination.

We lament to observe in the Irish papers of to-day, that
insurrectioes are becoming general in Clare and Galway.
In an affray with the people, five policemen have been
assassinated ; and various outrages, in the collection of
arms, are recorded. Leeslature appears to be too slow in its
proposed relief. We tope, however, that the circum-
stances will quicken, rather than retard, charity. A whole
people ought not to suffer owing to the indiscretion and
crimes of a few.
