AUSTRIA.

TA am APO L, May B.—The Cholera extends more and
more in Gallicia ; in four weeks, in the City alone, the,
sick have increased to 160, and about 800 in all the Circle.
It also makes ravages in three Circles of the neighbourhood.
Young and old, rich and poor, all fall victims to it, when
succour is not promptly applied. Everywhere there is a
want of medical assistance, and in many places they are
without any kind of succour; at Tarnapol, where it is not
wanting, the houses of the physicians are besieged with
sick ; the Cholera has also shown itself at Brody.—Gazette
de Nuremburg.

ITALY.
MILAN, MeY 21.—1 n spite of the penury of its trea-
sure, Austria augments more and more its military forces.
To he present time, the Italian regiments in the service of
Austria had but three battalions ; now they will have four,
and, to complete this corps, his Majesty, the Emperor of
Austria, has ordained in the Lombard-Venetian States, a new
levy of 12,400 men which must be attached to their respec-
itive regiments by the 25th of July. The Italian regiments
being out of Italy, the levy must be made with precipita-
tion, in order that the conscripts may arrive at their respec-
tive corps by the period fixed.
ROME, MAY 28.—1 t appears that the Pope would be
disposed to grant a new and complete amnesty to the insure
gent provinces, but that Cardinal Bernetti makes every
effort to persuade the Holy Father, that he will obtain
nothing by mildness; and that besides he will lose thus the
protection of the Austrians. However, the Austrians have
declared that their presence is necessary, and that they will
continue indefinitely the occupation. The works of
Ancona are already very much advanced, and there
has just been sent from Venice eighty pieces of cannon :
that which proves, in fact, that the Austrians wish to esta-
blish themselves definitely in the Legations, is, that the acts
of the government are publishing no longer in the name of
Pope, but in the name of the United Provinces. The Aus-
trians made some attempts of revolution at Bologna, and in
other cities of Romagna ; but these essays have succeeded
badly for them; their secret agent, whom all the world now
F knows, sought to make it supposed that these attempts were
made by some Italians, at present emigrated ; but the public
ilwere not the dupes of that fraud ; whilst it does not see hos-
tilities commenced bete/sea Austria and France, the country,
suppressed as it is, will take care not to stir.
There is expected daily at Livourne, ten cases of muskets
and three hundred sabres, dispatched from Bologna to Car-
dinal Oppoxsoni. It is believed, however, that the Austrians
will not permit the introduction of these arms; they have al-
ready refused to Col. Lassarini, the entry into Ancona of
the Papal troops.

BELGIUM.
BRUSSZLS, MAY 26.—Private Correspondence, Hay-
past Nine at Night.—Lord Poneonby, so im ex-
for some days past, has at length arrived this even-
ing at eight o'clock. Before even entering at the hotel of
Deism, he went to the bongs of M. Lebow' Minister of
Foreign Affairs. They are still together in co:Amoco, and
I nothing has let transpired of the news which he brings.
'The Journalists are on the alert, not to lose the first intelli-
gence. Bans say that Prince Leopold will accept—others,
that he will oft assupt. You will aversely believe, however,

how much all the English who are here,wieh for the accept
once.

BELGIAN CONGRESS. —Le Temps, in its ministerial op-
timism, does not fear to tell its readers this morning, that the
affairs of Belgium are definitively arranged ; and that tl:e
Prince of Saxe Coburg will accept the royalty which has
been offered to him, with the limitation established by tl.e
Protocol of the 20th of January; and that Luxembou• z
will be purchased from the Bing of Holland, by means Of
an indemnity not yet fixed upon. It will be aufficieet to
read the account of the last sitting of the Congress to heron.
vinced, that there is not one of the questions which the Temps
presents as completely resolved, which does not threaten,
on the contrary, to become an element of discord and ear.
Before accepting, it is necessary• that Leopold be elected
and precisely two of the three propositions which have bees,
submitted to the Congress, and sent back by ;t to the sec-
tions, are opposed to the immediate realization of that elec-
tion. It is only the friends of peace at any pike, who,
at Brussels, proclaim the immediate election of Piince
Leopold as indispensable to the material interests, and to the
political security of Belgium. We hope that they will not
carry it, and that the Congress will not be so blind as to
expose Belgium to run over again, all the phases of uncer-
tainty and deception, which accompanied the election and
refusal of the Duke of Nemours. We have said se-
veral times ; for there is a mystification on the part
of the Belgian Congress, wishing so strenuously to
give a Sovereign to Belgium, when even the existence of
the country is still hypothetical—when its limits are still un-
certain—and when the Germanic Confederation on the one
side, and Holland on the other, occupies still in arms, and
are decided to guard several of the provinces, which the
Congress pretends to have power to offer to the new sove-
reign. The pretended acceptance of Leopold can only be a
new lure—a trap held to the Belgian Congress, to prolong
still for some mouths, by the aid of motives of refusals,
negociations and discussions without end, the provisionary
in which Belgium debates, and to bring about by the force
of uncertainty and misery, a submission to a restoration.--

RUSSIAN HEAD QUARTERS AT LUROWO,-MAY 17.

When the detachment of Count Pac, reinforced by the troops of Gen.

army of the insurgents, Chmanowski, amounting to ten battalions and
sixteen quadrons, with twelve pieces of cannon, had passed the Wiept:,
Gen. Krems immediately pave orders to the detachment of General
Thiemann, to leave Kock, and march towards Kamionka. In fact, the
enemy occupied the first named place on 6th May, with a comiderabl:
force; and Gen. Krems proceeded to concentrate his troops. On tls
Bth May, be proceeded towards Kamionka, and ordered Gen. Find to

at hand, immediately advanced to relieve it.

General Fuel, as soon as be heard the cannon, made a charge with
the bayonet, and succeeded in opening himself a passage through the
enemy's troops, and leaving the prisoners behind. The Poles advanced
in dose columns against Hamionka ; but were forced by the Russian
artillery to retreat into the forest, and during the night marched In the
direction of Lobarton.

On the oth General Emits attacked dim In their own po.
sition, and caused them very considerable loss. After several at.
tacks of Cavalry and Infantry, the insurgents, auditd by the
are of grape shot, entirely retreated. The battalions which were posted
in the village itself, and In the monastery, made a desperate resistance;
but the houses taking lire, all those who bad posted themselves in don,
to resist the attacks of the brave conquerors, perished in the flame
Meantime a breach had been made in the wall of the Monastery, and
the troops that defended It were compelled, by a fresh assault of Gen.
Dellinghausen, to lay down their arms. The field of battle, whirls
was covered with the killed and wounded, was completely abandreed
by the enemy, who se-paused the Weiprs by a ford, and lost many
men in the waves. Three min-carriages, which were found on the
bank, with the powder waggons, shew that the guns themselves had
been thrown into the river. In the engagement, 600 prisoners, including
eleven officers were taken. General Houtz estimates the loss of the
enemy, in the two days, at about 3,000 men, and part of their troop
was besides dispersed in the woods. After this defeat, the insurgents
retreated towards Leuons, and were closely pursued ; but as the Rus-
sian infantry, which had Mode forced marches for three days, in coda
to reach the enemy, bad need of rest, the Poles who had returned to the
left bank of the Wieprs escaped by the rapidity of their movements,
and marched to old Ramose; having marched more than 12 German
(65 English) miles, in less than two days, constantly harassed by the
Russian light cavalry, which several times attacked their rear guard;
especially on the 11th May, when Colonel S. Housnetsoff, with the
Atsiman regiment of Cossacks, caused them great loss. Since these
events, General Kumla his formed moveable columns for the purpose
of scouring the woods, and by-ways, to pick up the soldiers who have

wounded amounts to 400 men ; the brigade of Fos' sunned the mat,
during the brilliant attack by which It disengaged itself from the
superior numbers of the enemy.
Information having been received, that the Insurgents, with
their main force, intended to make some great attempts against
gicdles, the Russian Commander-in-Chief immediately took roes•

sures promptly to anticipate them, by a most rapid movement.
On the 11th, in the evening, we advanced towards Jahloons ; and

Ives.—Nuremberg tarrapondent, May 23.

WA it SA W, MAY 14.—Report made to the National Go-
vernment, in the name of the Lithuanian Insurgents by an
Envoy from Lithuania (abridged.)
- The Polish nation, oppreased during half a century, is now fighting
for its independence, and the integrity of its territory. If she carried her

oppressors before the Tribunal of humanity, Lithuania mightboast more
han an yot her province of having obtained the honours of martyrdom. De.

1i vend up from the first dismemberment, and against all political justice, to

the Russian Autocrats, the hope of a better future has never beamed on

her. At the news of the national insurrection at Warsaw. the love of

their father land, which no power can extinguish in the hearts of the
Lithuanians, was ready to show itself; but the voice of wisdom and

experience was able properly to repress the imprudent enthusiasm of
our youth. Unhappily Lithuania was obliged to nourish the oppressors
who were going to exterminate her brethren in the kingdom of Poland,
and was obliged to reply with a simulated haste to the most Injurious

demands of her tyrants. Marshal Diebitach,st his arrival at Wilna, eon_
coked an assembly of the nobles ; he ordered them with bitter irony to in.,
cult the holy cause which they desired to defend ; he made them renew their
oath of fidelity,and even thank the Emperor for the benefits he had heaped

on them. Finally, he commanded them to rejoice, because they might
expect the prompt punishment of the rebels. The chiefs of the different
Governments received from St. Petersburg an address filled with the
moat servile and most humiliating expressions. They were made to
sign it in the name of all the citizens, and this address was published as
voluntary declaration. But while despair was increasing with the
violence of arbitrary power, the manifesto of the Chambers which an-
ncuuctd the determination of the Poles to combat till they bad re-coa.

quered their independence and that of their brethren. brought a solace
to Our nt►meroua griefs, and offered ua some consolation. Since that

time persecution has become every day more violent, but hope helped
us to support it: hope, finding a home in the bosom of every true
patriot, formed, as if by enchantment, an association which managed to
escape the vigilance of the most insidious system of espionage. It
would be superfluous here to remind you of all the means which such a
system knows how to employ with the agents it knows how to engage.
They are known wherever despotism endeavours to consolidate all its
powa by injustice and infamy. Hudrewies, by affecting an ardent pa
triotism,seduced several young and imprudent men,obtained from them a
list of the conspirators, with their signatures, and hastened to place it in
the hands of those who showered their gold on him. Many of

the persons implicated were immediately arrested, and the inqui-
sitions were proceeded with In the most revolting manner. As
these things wire going on, the moment arrived for recruiting the
army and provisioning the magazines. Some young men of Sarno-
gitia, allowing themselves to be carried away by the intemperance
of their patriotism, then resolved to raise the standard of revolt.
They collected their servants and their peasants, formed a troop
of 200 horse, attacked the town of Rossienle, the chief place
of the district of that name, disarmed the garrison, composed of
veterans chased away the Russian Authorities—and, causing an
appeal to be made to the other citizens, induced them to unite
with the insurgents. So energetic a determination must necessarily
find support. Towards the end of March, three districts of Samogitia,

those oiTeletze, Rossienic, and Szawk, threw off the yoke of the op.
preoors, and established provincial governments, which will be united
into one when %Vilna shall be taken, but which now are to act in the
name of the National Government of the kingdom of Poland. The
district of Upita followed the example. While Samogitia was thus freeing
itself of the Russian garrisons,the insurgents of the department of Kowno,
too weak to make themselves masters of that town, occupied Janow, situ-
and on the Wilma, and opened a direct communication with the der
paruuents of Wane sad of Wilkomiers. The districts of Froki, of
Osmiard, and others, bad risen on the other aide of With* ; all the
roads which led to this town were intersected, and very soon 14,000 in-
rurgents, collected from all quarters, laid siege to the capital. The
Governor, General Chrapowicki, at the head of 0000 infantry, several
hundred cavalry, and supported by 14 guns, exhausted his soldiers, by
making them pass whole nights under arms. Pour or five thawing
insurgents marched towards Kowno, other detachments watch the free-
tiers and the chief places of the departments, the Provisional
Governments of which are occupied in uniting, equipping, and
arming, as soon as possible, the Conscripts, who, every day,
arrive In very great numbers. The major part of the citizens
Live not only furnished as many men as they could, but they have
themselves mounted guard, so that there exists in each department,
besides the ordinary levies of cavalry, some hundreds of cavalry who
arc remarkable for their uniforms, their equipments and their valour
The brave Lithuanian youth place themselves at the head of the soh..
dins, from a want of officers, and supply dike's:* of experience by
courage. The insurrection has extended into the governments of Grodno
sod Slink, and the single government of Wilna talons already sixty
thousand men under arms. The Provisional Governments now look
at one single object—that of multiplying the means opt defence. They
have postponed to that mote auspicious time, what GOD will give
us the means of uniting ourselves in community with ;our bre-
thren, the care of providing a national representation. A foundry has
been established at Wrome, in Somogitia; it will supply nine guns
by the sth of May. Several citizens, aware of the necessity of
supplying themselves with powder as soon as possible, have esta-
blished manufactories of that article at their houses. Order,
strength, and discipline, are augmenting every day ; all the infor-
mation supplied to the Warsaw newspapers, by evil-disposed or ill-
informed persona, of pretended pillage, or acts of violence exer-
cised by the insurgents, is totally false. The peasantry of Litho.
ania, convinced that it is first necessary to throw off the odious yoke,
hasten to the battle, without thinging of the pecuniary advantages which
they may and ought to derive from it. Those who feared that the sudden
enfranchisement of the serfs would produce a social overthrow, are aston-
ished to find, that even from the beginning of the insurrection, they have
not been guilty of any one excess, of any injustice, at least not,
unless it is imputed to them as a crime not to have paid for a little
brandy and provisions necessary for their subsistence. Thousands
of victims have already probably shed their blood. For three days a
heavy cannonading was heard in the direction of Kaucn, and the results
of the battle which must have taken place arc not known. Lithuania
has for ever united its fate to that of Poland ; and if weaker, destitute
of arms and an army—deprived of all succour, she falls alone, she will
at least carry with her into her tomb this consoling idea, that she pre-
ferred sacrificing everything to supplying her oppressors with men and
with provisions to assist them in ruining our common couotry.
