GERMAN PAPERS RECEIVED THIS DAY.

Waasaw, 26th May.—General Skrzyneek's detailed re-
port of his operations from 12th to 23d of hay, describes
more circumstantially all the transactions in chief, particu-
lars of which have already been published. The latter part
of this report, relating to our later operations, of which little
has transpired, is in the following terms :
" On the 2lst at day-break we continued our pursuit of
the enemy towards Tykocin. I sent the division of General
Gielgud with the cavalry of General Skanzynski to advance
to the road between Tykocin and Bialystock, and there to
cut off the ;columns retreating to Lithuania, while I myself
advanced in the mean time on the road to Tykocin. But
the enemy had already retreated beyond the frontiers of the
present kingdom of Poland; only his rear-guard was on the
left bank of the Narcw. About 4 P. M. the head of our
column reached Tokocyn. I ordered Colonel Langermann
immediately to attack the town, and the bridge leading to the
right bank of the Narew. This river divides, at Tykocin,
into two arms; a long dam, intersected by nine bridges,
leads to the opposite side, and forms one of the most difficult
passages that is to be met with. Colonel Langermann led
the attack, at the head of 300 men of the Ist regiment of
Yagers, supported by a battalion of the 2d regiment,
with great bravery ; and his horse having been killed
under him, and his uniform being twice shot through,
he was the first to rush upon the bridge sword in hand.
The enemy, who defended it obstinately, had not time
to shut the gates, so impetuous was our attack. Though
the bridge was partly damaged, and it was necessary to ad.
vance on single beams, our soldiers got possession of it at
once, constantly led by Col. Langermann and the officers,
who encouraged them by their example. The enemy was
driven farther back on the dam ; the three principal bridges
which he defended with the same obstinacy were succes-
sively taken, and the whole difficult passage so speedily
executed by the valour of our troops, that the enemy could
not complete the destruction of tile bridges which he had
commenced. With the aid of the artillery and Yagers he
defended the last bridge till the evening, but in the night
lie was compelled to leave this position also, and thus the
contest ended on Lithuanian ground. The troops
that defended Tykocin were of the corps of the
Grand Duke Michael, and consisted of two Yager
Regiments of the Guard, a division of Finland
Yagers, three Regiments of Cavalry, and a brigade of
artillery. Our loss is twenty-two killed, and seventy
wounded. The army particularly laments the loss of
Lieutenant Kruczewski. who fell while fighting with great
valour.

11-trile I was advancing to Tykocin, General Skanzynski,
according to his orders, rapidly approached the town of
Choroszcz, but the enemy had already sought protection
beyond the Narew, and his regiment of mini:Mere, which
covered the retreat, on perceiving the second regiment of
Ilulans forming our van guard, avoided coming to an ac-
tion, and galloped over the bridge. Two cannon of the
battery of Major Bslim defended the bridge from being
burnt till the evening, overpowering the fire of more than
ten guns on the opposite bank ; but at night the
enemy advanced to the bridge, and set it on fire. While
this was passing in the main army, General Lubienski, in
his position at Nur, constantly observed the main army of
Field Marshal Dicbitsch, posted in the vicinity of Siedlec,
who, in consequence of our movement, was obliged to retire
to the Bug, and passed that river at Granna on 21st May.
General Lubienski sent detachments in different directions to
cut off the enemy's communication, and got possession of
the magazines at Brausk and Ciechanowicc, in which last
place he took prisoners above 200 men of different armies,
including a staff officer and six subalterns.
Thus, the national army, by 10 days offensive operations,
and with a force very inferior to that of the enemy, drove
the Russian guards beyond the frontiers of the kingdom,
which they had burdened, as long as there was no appre-
hension of danger, took in different places 600 prisoners,
among whom is Colonel Schamout, aide-de-camp to the
Grand Duke Michael, and many officers of rank, besides
about 800 sick and consalescent, at Loma. In many places
the country people took and brought in soldiers with their
arms and horse*. Besides this, a great many magazines
which the enemy had formed in the rear of the army, a
quantity of baggage, &c. fell into our hands.
But our most important acquisition is the fortifications
about Lomas', which the enemy had executed with great la-
bour, and has abandoned without, firing a shot, and
which will now serve to defend us against him. It was
only by the astonishing rapidity of their retreat., that
the Guards could escape a defeat; but it must besteknow-
ledged that their infantry fought bravely with us in some of
the skirmishes. By this movement the national army has
freed some districts, obliged the Field-marshal to retreat
with his main army across the Bug; and lastly, having en.
tered the territory which has been so long incorporated with
Russia, it has opened a communication with our brethren,
whose insurrection continues to spread, and made it possible
to afford them assistance. The joy with which we were re-
ceived by the population is beyond description. Not only
within the boundaries of the present kingdom, but also in
Lithuania, the citizens and peasantry, have clearly ex-
pressed their interest in the common country, and their
wishes for our success." Here follow the names of the
officers and soldiers who have distinguished themselves.
The village of Modzell, from which the report of the Ge-
neralissimo is dated, lies on the road between Sniadow at.d
Tykocin, nearer to the former place.
FRONTIERS or POLAND, 26 May.—it IS reported that

remove his head-quarter back to Lomas.

BOIS LE Dec, MAY 31.—Letters from the Prussian
frontiers of May 29, contain the following particulars :
" Persons lately arrived from Belgium at Aix-la-Chapelle
affirm that the tumultuous disturbances in the garrisons of
Liege and Namur, were caused by Belgian demagogues, ad-
herents of France. Their object is said to have been to in-
troduce a republican form of government at tee same time in
Liege and Namur, and then under the command of 51elli-
net, suddenly to attack Alaestrecht, and, in case of need, the
Prussians on the frontiers.

If affairs in Belgium do not soon take another turn, and
if the hlaese is not opened, Liege is threatened with a great
danger. In the coal mines there is now an immense stock
for which no vent can be found. Thee proprietors are at a
loss how to keep the men to work ; and tinge people, who are
by no means the least uncivilized clam; of Belgians, threaten
that if they are no longer paid, to set the whole on flre.
Couriers have passed through here today on their way
from London to Vienna, Berlin, and Petersburgh. The
news brought by Lord Ponsonby from London is said to be
very disagreeable to the Belgian traders.
