BORDERS OF THEODER, SEPT.IS.—The taking
of Warsaw, and in general all that which has
passed in Poland for the last two months, is, and
always will remain, a grand political enigma. At
the battle of Ostrolenka, the Polish army,weakened
end divided, was still in a state for disputing with
the united forces of Diebitsch the passage of the
Narew ; and, nevertheless, at that epoch, only
the half at most of the Polish army was concen-
trated. Gielgud, Chlapowski, Dembinski, had
just entered Lithuania with 12,000 men; Uminski
was before Sied.lc with 15,000 men ; and, to
support the manceuvres of the principal army,
Chrzanowski and Ramorino were at the
south with 8,000 men. After the battle of
Ostrolenka, the Polish army united under Praga.
Not only the corps of Chranowski and Uminski
united to the principle army, but again there were
reserves called, and there were raised 15,000 new
troops. The army, which had fought at Ostro-
lenka, was thus found reinforced by 58,000 men;
to which must still be added the corps of Dem-
biniki, returned from Lithuania, to the number of
5,000 men, and the produce of the levee en masse.
It was in this imposing state of the Polish army,
that Paskewitsch attempted to pass the Vistula.
To the surprise of all Europe, not the least obstacle
was offered to that attempt san the part of the Poles,
which had opposed, with so much success, the
passage of the Narew by Diebitsch. Subsequently,
various corps came from Lithuania to unite with
the grand Russian army.
One would have presumed that attempts would
be made to attack and beat in detail these corps,
which was so easy, since they were cut off from
the grand army by the Vistula. But most incom-
prehensible! the Polish Generals remained immove-
able. When in fact Paskewitsch had succeeded
in concentrating all his forces upon the left bank
of the Vistula, they allowed him peaceably to
occupy the Palatinates of Kalish and Masovie,
which had given the most energetic proof of en-
thusiasm for the liberty of Poland. Then h:
marched upon Baur% where the Polish army oc-
cupied very favourable positions at Lowiez and
Sochaczew. They still evacuated, without firing
a shot, these positions, and abandoned them to
the enemy. The Russians traversed still without
obstacle that little river. In many places they
sent back the Landsturw, and did not dispute with
the enemy a single inch of ground. The Russian
army__ then began to approach the walls of Warsaw.
When, several months before, Diebitsch had
approached Praga, the Poles fought two bloody
battles, before retiring behind the fortifications of
that place. Now that their army was more nu-
merous, better exercised, yet, at the moment of the.
greatest danger no battle took place, and they
concentrated behind the intrenchments of Warsaw,

much weaker than those of Praga. The assault
commenced ; it lasted, we are told, two days, and
the third they capitulated, but with whom ? How
was thatzapituladon conceived ? We are not told
a word. Aced as to the Polish army, is it beaten,
dispersed, annihilated ? No ! ft marches tranquilly
upon Modlin; and Brukowieoki, that grand dema-
gogue, walks tranquilly atWareaw ! and the Polish
Diet tranquilly follows the army. It has retreated
upon Modlin, ingenuously says the report of the
Russian Grand Quarter-General. It is allowed
tranquilly to pursue its route, and leaves peaceably
the way to the Russians! Persons, in general well
informed, are assured that for a long time a
compromise had existed between Paskewitsch and
the former Polish National Government. The Em-
peror Nicholas engaged himself by that act to ac-
cept all the conditions comprised in the letter of
Chlopicki, on condition that the Pelee surrendered.
Now, as no person at Warsaw dared to make these
propositions public, they contrived that the Russian
army should advance by degrees, and that the
Poles should oppose no obstacles; that Warsaw
should be reported as taken by Wank ; and that I
all should then be arranged amicably. Effectively
the assault was but feigned ; for up to the present
there is not the least question in the world, that'
an obstinate resistance was opposed by the Polish
army, nor of losses that it has sustained. Now it
is in march upon Plork ; but remark well, that the
Russian army does not follow it: it has retired,
with its arms and baggage, to Pluck, to wait the
orders of the Emperor; that is to say, the scum.
plishment of his promises, or, in cue of the con-
trary, to attempt again the chums of war. But
others think that the Polish army will remain so
Modlin with the Diet, in order to wait the answer
of the Emperor.—f orrespondear de Nuremberg.
