itself. The rebels, who are driven to 0.: ,-.late I ail: of the Vista', re.
main in possession of the Tete-de-pont ; and it would have been of no
use whatever to make imam& upon it. On their side an attempt was
made to drive the Russians out of the houses; to set fire to the latter,
and to drive a Russian detachment from the Saxon Wender ; but they
were repulsed with loss, and have not repeated the attempt.
The state of the Vistula,--the thaw, seldom interrupted
by frost, and the weakness of the ice, have hitherto prevented
the Russian troops from ;sassing the river. To lay a bridge
over it would not have been advisable, as the breaking of the ice might
have carried it away, by which the communications would have been
interrupted : the army cut off from its resources, and exposed to want,
which is to be feared in a country which has been ruined by the presence
of the enemy's troops, and purposely laid waste by them.
The Commander-in-chief has, therefore, resolved to remain in a poi-
don of observation, to distribute the- army in more extensive canton-
ments. and to give the troops more rest. On the 27th of February,
a detachment, consisting of a brigade of infantry, a brigade of regular
cavalry, two regiments of Cossacks, and eight cannon, was placed
under the command of General Sacken, with directions to take men.
sores for the preservation of the bridge ovtr the Bug. and to secure the
arrival of the last detachments of the corps of grenadiers, which were
to come by en), of Ostrolenka and Pultusk to join the army, which
they did on the 2d March.
On the Ist, some hundred Cracovitcs attacked a piquet of Cossacks,
some of whom were killed. At the same time, it was reported that
numerous bands of militia had shown themselves at Ciechanow and
Puente, and about 10,000 regular troops near Plousk. On this the
corps of Oeneral Rosen was ordered to clear the country. lie sent ont
strong parties to reconnoitre, but they did not find the enemy either at
Ciechhanow or Prosaic.

As the Poles had burnt all the bridges over the Ukra, the corps could
not march to Plousk. The Fieldmershal thought it useless to under.
take this expedition, and ordered the 7th corps to destroy the bridge at
Zegrs, and take up its quarters at Stanislawuw. General Sacken re-
mains between the Bug and the Narew, to maintain tranquillity there
and to preserve the magazines, in which the provisions are deposited for
the subsistence of the Guards, who are advancing by the roads
from Grodno and Kovno.

By order of the Fieldmarelialeneral Kreuts, on our right wing, after
occupying Radom, had crossed the Vistula at Tirschen, on Md Feb.
after the battle of the 19th. He was not again molested by the enemy.
—By accounts from Warsaw, we learnt that a column of troops had
marched towards Kartschew and Gera. Hereupon the Field-marshal
ordered General Count Witt, who was cantoncd at Laskarzcw with the
reserve cavalry, to be ready fur battle. On the 26th two small detach.
meets of cavalry at Pulawy were treacherously attacked by the Craco.
rites, who, 10 concert with tile inhabitants, almost entirely destroyed
them. Some days later the Field-marshal received information, that
Dwernicki, with a corps of 12 or 15,000 men and 20 cannon, had
passed the Vistula on the Ist. On the 2d he made an unexpected at.
tack on a detachment under the command of .Major-general Raver,
and caused it some loss. But the courage end presence of mind
of Colunel Tukoischewski raved these troops from a pre.,
cipitate retreat, and they retired slowly, and in good or.
der. General Kretitz, however, thought we ought not to wait in
Lublin, the arrival of an enemy so greatly superior in numbers, who,
beside,, might draw troops from Zamose, and organise levies in the
country. He therefore retired on the road of Piaski and Kransislaw,
and was on the sth beyond this town at Sychodel. On the first news of
the invasion of Gen. Dwernicki, the Field Marshal ordered 13 battalious
to Laskaraew, there to join the troops of Count Witt, who with his ca.
valry and part of the Lithuanian cavalry of the guard, was to go to
meet the enemy. On the 7th, a bridge was laid over the Wiepra, at
Scharni, and on the 9th, Gen. Murawieff had already occupied
Palawy. Strong parties were put out to reconnoitre in
different directions, in order to obtain information of the
enemy's march. The command of all these troops was given to
Count Toll, chief of the general staff, should Dwernicki have the
intention, which many of his oflicers have expressed, of penetrating to
Volhynia, he will pay dearly for so rash an attempt. Ile will be cut
off from the Viatulle, be, taken in the flank and rear by the detachment
sent in pursuit of him, and will meet the cantoned in Volhynia. The
only resource he will then have left, will ,be to take refuge in Zamose.
The movements of the troops, ordzted by the field marshal, has already
produced its effect, and General Sierawsky, who had marched to
Pulawy, with d,OOO men, in order to juin Dwernicki, and who had
already advanced two marches, has been obliged precipitately to retire
over the Vistula.

As two Clays' incessant rain promised to hasten the breaking up of
the Ice, the head-quarters have been removed to Siewnica, and the se-
veral corps of the anny removed to such cantonments, that it will be
possible to assemble them, with rapidity and ease, at the point which
will Mier the greatest advantages for passing over to the left bank of
the Vistula.

As the rebels observed that several bivouacs were desened, they
thought on the 10th, that they might attempt a sally from the tele de,
pant; but they were quickly repulsed by the vanguard, under the com-
mand of General Geismar, and lost about 100 men. Among the killed
is an officer of rank, and another among the prisoners.
Colonel Micielski has come twice from Warsaw to the heatl.quarters
with a flag of truce, and had bosh times an audience of the Field Mar-
shal. The object of this mission was, to learn the conditions on which
the Commander-in-Chief would consent to put an end to hostilities, by
a suspension of arms. The Field Marshal required, first of all, the
complete submission of the Pales to the commands contained in the
Manifesto of his Majesty the Emperor. It seems that the Poles begin ,
to be sensible, that they cannot successfully resist the Russian arms,
and must In the.end be overcome—Pritsrian State Gazette, March 22.
THE Famm, MARCH 22.--In the sitting of the second Chamber
of the States General to-day, the Minister of Finance laid before the
Assembly, in the name of the King, the budget for 1831, in a
very long speech, and accompanied by an explanatory memoir.—
The Minister observed, that it was highly necessary to provide imme-
diately for the wants of the treasury. The projects of law which he
laid before the assembly were thirteen in number, of which he proposed
to begin with the 12th, which Is, to order a payment in advance of the
personal tax-
_ _

A voluntary loan of 42 millions is proposed at 6 per cent. interest,
reserved ,on the produce of the land tax, which will be deposited in the
Bank of Amsterdam. The shares to be 1000 florins 080 florins only
to be paidlt' .
tile loan should not be filled up, there shall be a forced contribution
of
,25 millions, for which bonds bearing 4 per cent interest shall be
given.
The minister intimated, that reckoning from 1833, the public ex-
penditure will not exceed 46 millions.

A later protocol has been signed by the Congress at London, the
object of which, it is affirmed, is better to enforce the resolution already
taken by the powers respecting Belgium.
We hear from Flushing, that his Majesty's ship the Zeener, of 84
guns, is fitting out with all speed.
Tea Haunt, [dance 24.—Prince Frederick set out 'yesterday for
Breda, whence he will go to the army. Iris reported that the Prince of
Orange will soon go the Luxemburg. Her Royal Highness Princess
Albert of Prussia, (Princess Marianne of the Netherlands,) has sent
5,000 florins to the Minister of Finance, to be applied to the service
of the State. Numerous promotions have been made in the Navy and
the Army.
FLoazsez, Maims 10.—The entrance of the Imperial troops into
Ferrara and the Duchy of Modena, which was soon known here, has
caused the greatest joy; but has inspired the rebels with such a panic
terror, that most of their chiefs have taken flight. Already in the night
of the 6th instant, the following fugitives arrived here:—Messrs. No
bill and Del Rio from Reggio, Luigi 3lussi from Parma, and from Bo-
logna the new Minisier of Foreign Affairs, Bianchetti, and tour Mem-
bers of the Provisional Government. It seems that they have lost their
courage. The Tuscan Government having intimated to them that they
must leave this city, some of them have returned to Bologna, but the
others are gone to Leghorn, probably to embark for Marseilles.—
Audit-fan Observer, March 17.

A very encouraging discovery is made, by studying the
late important division. For Reform, will be found the
names of a much greater portion of the old aristocracy than
is observable against it; and oven if we carry our comparison
out of the aristocracy of blood, and extend it to what may
be called the aristocracy of wealth, we shall find, in favour
of Reform, more real wealth and commercial importance,
than on the other side.

In fact, it requires no microscope to ascertain, that the
nouveaux riches—the last war made capitalists—and the
modern and pourer gentry, swelled out by professional
politicians, constitute, with little more, the minority. Of
course, on both sides there are some men equally conscien-
tious, and equally respectable in their generation.

CITY, TWO (TCLOCX.
The private letters by the express from Paris positively
state, that Sebastiani will resign, as he still perseveres for
War.

The failure of a banker this morning, has not caused
great excitement in the City, as it is not supposed he has
stopped for a large amount, and has been doing but little
business for some time past.
Consols have remained steady during the morning at 7811
for the account.

We have seen a letter from Holland, stating, that a dis-
affection prevails in the Dutch army, and that Prince Fre-
derick has departed for the army, in consequence of the
above event.
