FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

POLAND.
To-day we have bad the satisfaction to bring up
all arrears of intelligence from Poland, not only by
the DUTCH MA it, but by original letters of Wed-
nesday, from our Correspondents at Paris: and we
use the word " satisfaction," because we know
that we at once anticipate every London Paper,
AS USUAL, but convey intelligence highly grati-
fying to the friends of justice and liberty.
The national government of Poland has just
published the following proclamation of the Senate
and the Chamber cf Nuncios to the Polish nation :
" Whilst repeated and honourable success leads us to look
forward to still more important events—whilst the national
government and the Genetal-in-Chief are endeavouring to
consolidate our national existence as early as possible, the
enemy has dared to pass to the left bank of the Vistula,
and concentrate his forces, in °Mir to give us a mortal
blow. Nettling is more natural than the general desire of
being, under such circumstances, acquainted with our mili-
tary situation, and of knowing and appreciating all the
means employed ft.r the defence of our country. The cham-
ber of nuncics, with a view to sati..fy these desires, to unite
the different opinions, and remove every kind of distrust
proposed to assemble a grand council, in which the
Delegates of the Clamber required, in the presence of the
National Government, tile General-in-Chief, end other
officers of distinction, the consoling conviction that our
forces, and the nt.Ale of directing them, all correspond with
the designs which the nation has proclaimed before all Eu-
rope. The Senate and the Chi.mher of Nuncios, being of
the same opinion with the Council, hasten to declare it to
the nation. Polish warriors ! the fate of cur country de.
penis on pour valour and per, ee cAA nce. Second your Gene-
ral-in-Chief with all your might. Placa in him the @erne
confidence which the nation i.l4ces in your intrepidity. The
character and talents of )our chief are worthy of it. Citi-
zens ! uni:e all your forces by rising in armed masses, by
promoting perfect uric., and fully trusting to the National
Authorities, by noticing sacrifices worthy of so nobles cause;
finally, by despising such as should not share the common
Binger, end should attempt to di tutli die concord and peace
of the country.
Itarsaiv, July 28. CZARNOCSKY."
The following is a Report of the Committee of
the Diet, dated July '29:
-

GCNTLIMEN—TI:e committee appointed by you, in
pursuance of the decision of the Chamber of the 23d inst.
has held a Council of War with the National Government,
the General-in-Chief, and the officers assembled for that
purpose. The Government, as well u the General-in.
Chief and the Minister of War, have laid before us the state
of the army, of the provisions, the means of supplying the
capital, and, finally, of all that is necessary for the defence
of the country against the invading hordes of the enemy, in
ostler to attain the end which our country proposed to itself
on commencing the straggle with the Giant of the North.
The General-in. Chief wished to he silent on the strength of
our garrisons. We were sat:afied with the assurance he gave
as that it is sufficient. Agreeably to the decision of the Diet,
the Council dente rat:d on the steps to be taken floe and
for the future ; but we beg you to allow us, at least for a
short time longer, to keep secret the plans and resolutions
formed in the Council. This secrecy is necessary, that the
enemy may not become acquainted with our designs, and
disappoint them. The Government, the Members of the
Diet, and the officers pr: sent at the Council, addressed
divers questions to the Generehin.Chief, to which he re-
plied with the frankness of a soldier, repeating the assurance,
that having once come to the firm and determined resulutiun
of defending to the last the national cause to the last drop of
his blood, he was prepared to conquer or die. The Polish army
will always show itself as it has already done, both in victory
and reverses, terrible to its enemies. Its Chief will continue
to command in the same spirit, which will be the only rule
for his future conduct. We cannot conceal it, our army is '
much less numerous than that of our enemy; but when a
free man struggles with a barbarian, who attacks him in his
own country, can the issue of the struggle be doubtful ?'
Several months of warfare have weakened our army ; yet
we have more bayonets than before the 16th and 25th of
February, and the enemy has scarcely one-half of his
form. Our cavalry, exercised in the manoeuvres of war,
has become a regular force. As to the supply of powder
and ammunition, the General-In.Chief and the Minister
of War have assured us that we may be quite easy ea
that subject. Our Polish cannon, newly cast, twenty of
which are starting to-day for the line, supply the place
of those we have sent to the aid of our brethren. Be.
sides the general levy, which every one hastens to join,
numerous and well exercised reserves are only waiting for
their destination to be fixed. In fine, our military state
is favourable, and must completely saisfy the public
solicitude. We possess men enough to conquer the ene.
my, and a great number of volunteers daily increase the
ranks of our army. The conscripts are ready to obey the
call, and we should be far more advanced in the wotk uf re-
generation, if the powers adjoining Poland had left the
communications free, and had not violated with respect to'
us a right which cannot he denied to any nation. The
Council directed its attention to Lithuania, Samogitia, the
Ukraine, and Voihynia. The National Government has
assured the Committee of the Diet, that the Manifesto of
the Diet and the declarations of the Chambers, which
united for ever the destiny of all the Polish pro.
winces that have been the victims of Russian spolia-
tion, with that portion of Poland styled by 'the name
of Kingdom,' have served as the basis for its con.
duct. The attention of the Commander in-Chief was
afterwards directed to the persons to whom the com-
mand of the corps is entrusted, to the obstacles opposed
to the military operations, and other subjects. The Council
terminated its discussions in that spirit of union and con.
fidence which should always attend the chief of our armies.
Let our perseverance, and a fortitude which is nut checked by
any reverse of torture, attain the same height which it has
attained among the citizens sod the soldiers, and we shall
gain the victory over the barbarians. Whether the capital,
the right or left bank of the Vistula, Lithuania, or the
Ukraine, be the theatre of war, the blood of our oppressors
will always drench the Polish soil. We shall ever +merge
ourselves for the misfortunes which the Cabinet of St. Pe.
tersburgh has Inflicted upon us, or we shall fall, leaving to
enemies the inheritance pointed out by our Ilauifeato—ruins
and heaps of the slain."
Front these documents we learn, that although
the Polish army is much less numerous than that
of their enemy, yet " when a free man struggles
with a barbarian who attacks him in his own
country, can (ask the Poles) the issue of the
struggle be doubtful ?" We learn also that the
Poles have more soldiers and bayonets now than
they had before the memorable conflicts of last
February—that the cavalry has become a nu-
merous and regular force —that the supply of
powder and ammunition is abundant; that Polish
cannon are being founded at Warsaw ; that the forti-
fications of the capital are going on with spirit and
success; that the Poles " possess men enough
to conquer the enemy, and that a great number of
volunteers daily increase the ranks of that match-
less army." We further are delighted to know
that the conscripts are ready to obey the call ; that
provisions are abundant ; that the national enthu-
sium has in no respect abated ; and that, " whe-
ther the capital, the right or the left bank of the
Vistula, Lithuania, or the Ukraine be the theatre
of war, the blood of the Polish oppressors will
drench the Polish soil." " We shall ever
avenge ourselves for the wrongs which the Ca-
binet of St. Petersburgh has inflicted on as, or
we shall fall, leaving to enemies and barba-
rians the inheritance pointed out by„our Mani-
festo—ruins and heaps of the slain !" Although,
then, the revolution in Lithuania has not been
successful, and that in Volhynis does not for the
moment triumph—although, certainly, upwards of
150,000 Russian barbarians march upon Warsaw,
with 200 pieces of artillery to announce their ap-
proach, yet I am not without bops that ?mkt-
witash will be defeated, and Rudiger compelled to
retire, and that thus this second campaign will ter-

mints in the destruction of Russian hopes, slid
the overthrow of Russian ambition.
A private letter from Warsaw, dated the 4th ':;,
staat, contains the following intelligence. ,• i),1„

The Warsaw papers speak in the most exa;tiJ
terms of the retreat of General Dembinski, which
they state has never been suFassed in ancient ,
modern history. The General has been reinstatet
in his post of Governor of Warsaw.—Gazette de
Prusse of the 17th.
PETZIMURG, AUG. 6.—News from the .;;;;a4
of the 14th of July, state, that after the priaciti,
forces had happily accomplished, with the ai.l
GOD, their passage, they took t osition for a fey
days near Wroclawsk. This short halt was laths.
petisible to refresh the troops, as well as to in-
sure their ulterior operations. On the departure
of this report, Count Witt was at Wolica, upeu
the river Sklawionka, and the head-quarters ace
at Niezzawa. The rebels were but few in da.
neighbourhood;
.their principal forces were be-
tween Sochaczow and Blonie. The rebels w;-o
throwing up entrenchments at Sochaczow,
Skrzynecki was, and near Wola, under \Vara:in.
Field - Marshal Paskewitsch, leaving sufficient
forces near the passage to protect it, proposed be-
ginning ulterior movements of attack on the Ir)th
of August.
WA its* w, Au°. 9.--The Warsaw Gazett,
says: " Field Marshal Paskewitsch has sent t. u
corps, con fisting only of cavalry, into the pro-
vinces of Masoria and Kalisch. They have su.
veral pieces of horse artillery with them. One uf
these corps surprised on tho night of the sth
detachment of the reserve of our cavalry in Koh,
and captured several officers. General Rudige•
has sent some cavalry, 300 infantry, and 6 pieceA
of cannon, to the left batik of the Vistula. Ti.,
bridge which he threw across the Vistula has been
destroyed by the rise of the river, but some ban-
died men, who receive 6 florins daily wages, m 4
employed in repairing it."
The Warsaw State Gazette says :--Oppoei te
to the Russian camp at Ciszyra, on the Vietull,
Lieutenant.-Gen.l Ismer, of Rudiger's corps, hat
the command in our camp, consisting of Voliy-
nians and Tagers of Sandomirin, Pawlowski:,
and Vols. The Cossacks in those parts are com-
manded by Rzewnski, a Pole.
General Rozyzki has obtained the command of
tire troops opposed to Rudiger, and is to have
wider him a considerable part of Detnbinski's
corps. It is said that Brigadibr-gen. Wsugierski
will also go to the army.
Dembinski's corps has again left Warsaw, and
is encamped at Powonzki, on the left bank of the
Vistula.

General Uminski now commands one wing of
the Polish main army.
A report that Brzesc Liteweki has been aban-
doned by the Russians, is not confirmed.
Cossacks have again appeared at Milosna, and
about Groehow.

WARSAW, Avo. 10.—(Front the Cracow Coal •
Tier).— Up to yesterday evening no news had
been received from the army. The enemy are
very near each other ; between them the farmer is
busy about the harvest, and the flocks are grazing
in the Gelds. A Russian corps under General
Knorring has entered Prasnysz, in the province
of Pinsk. On the Bth that General issued a
proclamation to the bailiffs of the commune,
calling on them to furnish wood, straw,
and draught horses for eight squadrons of
cavalry, eight battalions of infantry, and three
batteries of artillery.
A Russian corps has entered Radom. Another
Russian corps came to Karczew, on the right bank
of the Vistula, but was received with cannon shot
from the other hank, on which it retired.
The head-quarters of the Polish General.in-
Chief were yesterday at Bolimow. It is confirmed
that Field-Marshal Paskewitch, with his I.ead-
quarters has fallen back. Some skirmishes have
taken place at the outposts. Every thing is pre-
pared for a great battle.

The extraordinary military tribunal decided yes-
terday that there were no proofs that General Jan-
kowski had been engaged in any plot: for his con-
duct in the action with General Rudiger, be
will be tried by a court-martial. General
Jankowski took great pains to prove his in-
nocence; he said he had supported the re-
volution throughout ; that be would die fighting as
a common soldier in defence of his country, and
would not leave to his four sons the opprobrium of
having had atraitor for their father.

(Proms she Moira Gazette.)
Koto, Auo. 11.—For some days past a Rus-
sian corps bar been in our immediate vicinity, and
since the late affair, all the Polish troops have
withdrawn, so that there is nothing to hinder the
Russians from occupying the town. The conduct
of the latter is very different from that we ex-
pected ; no reprisals, still less any acts of violence,
are exercised towards the peaceable inhabitants,
In consequence of the very strict injunc-
tions of Field Marshal Paskewitsch. The
bridge over the Werth' is now restored, so
that a detachment of cossacks yesterday carried
the scythes and saddles that were sent to their
head-quarters at Klodawa. Lieut.-General Dom-
browski, who is appointed chief of the p ovisional
government, has already issued several orders, to
which little regard has been paid, as the uncer-
tainty of the turn that affairs may take makes
every body afraid. A decisive battle is expected
near Warsaw. All persons in office have fled from
this town and from Kouin to Czenstocbau. The
cholera has nearly ceased here, but has re-appeared
in some places in the environs. It seems more
and mote certain, that firmness and temperance
are the best preservatives against the cholera.
WARSAW, Ana. 10.—Colonel Sierskowski has
been promoted by the national government to the
rank of brigadier-general.
The municipal council of the capital calls on the
inhabitants to be ready to give up their blouses to
quarter soldiers, as it is possible that a very great

number of troops must shortly be stationed in
Warsaw.
Col. Zalewski, who lately commanded a detached
emps in the province of Anguatowo, has now a
e.mituand in the Polish main army, and has al-
i...adv been engaged with the enemy.
WARS AW, At.&. 10.—(From the latest No. of
!be Cracow Courier )—We hear that there was
yesterday a very important secret sitting of the two
ilmaibers united, in which a special military de
votation to the General-in-Chief was appointed,
with full powers to suspend him in his command
If it should be deemed necessary, and provi-
.;oaallv to appoint another in his room. This
.!epatation is to consist of two members of the
•.lovernment, viz. Prince Czartoriski and M. Va-
;put; Nieraojowski, the Worivode Ostrowski, the
esstellanWenzyk, and five members of the Cham-
)m- or Deputies, viz. Vessrs. Iwireki, Ignatius
ponbowski, Theodore Momwski, Szlaski, and Vin-
cent Fvskscwicz. The Deputation proceeds im-
mediately to the army, where it will hold a council
of war, and then proceed according to tho dictates
of its conscience and the welfare of the country.
A telegraphic communication is to be established
between the capital, the army, and the fortress of
llocllin.
The Russians are entrenching themselves on the
lett bank of the Vistula, at Lowicz, and on the
right in Lublin. The labourers receive three fib-
rius per day.
Gen. Rudiger has already sent a considerable
part of his corps over to the left bank of the
Vistula, but his own head-quarters remain at
Kurow, on the right bank. A detachment of his
fops took the day before yesterday Ilga, four,
miles from Radom. It was part of the light ca-
t airy which is marching to Radom.
