WARSAW, Dim I.

On the morning of the 29th of November tranquility still
reigned here, but towards seven o'clock in the evening a re-
port spread rapidly through the town that two regiments of the
Russian Horse Guards had come to blows with the pit pile of
the Military School, and several companies of Polish infantry.
The engagement was most sanguinary, and many lives were
lost on both sides. The Russian cavalry of the guard, re-
treated, and a detachment of Polish troops repaired to the Bel-
videre Palace, whore his Imperial Highness the Cesarewitch
was no longer to be found. At this moment a general
alarm was beaten, and all the troops in Warsaw assembled
under arms. In a short time it became evident that a
part of the population were about to join the troops.
At eight o'clock the gates of the arsenal were broken open,
and ruins wore distributed among the people. The battle
lasted till day-break. The prisoners of state wore set at
liberty. The following persons were said to have lust their
lives:—Gene. G end re and Fensch,Vice-presidentLubowidzki,
the Minister of War, Gen. Hancke, sad Col. Meciszewoski.
General Blumer was pierced with balls; General Stanislaw§
Potocki Is dangerously wounded, General Nowicki also
lest his life ; Generals Redel and Bontems have been ar-
rested ; Generals Essakoff and Engleman have surrendered
themselves prisoners of war ; General Tobecki was killed.
Yesterday Count Sobolowski, and the Minister of Finance,
Prince Lubecki, issued, in the name of the Emperor, a pro-
clamation, by which a now administration was named, con-
sisting of the following individuals : Prince Senator Ilojeu-
oden, Adam Czartorieki, Senator Hojeuoden, Michael Rad-
zivill, Senator Michael Kochanoweki, Senator Count Lewis
Pabs, Secretary Julian Niencewicz, and General Joseph
Chlopiski.
The command of the troops in the city has been entrusted
to General Chlopioki.
The whole of yesterday (30th November) the inhabitants
of Warsaw were under arms, and in the afternoon the Na-
tional Guard began to be organized, under the command of
Count Lubienskie. The shops were closed. It is said the Rus-
sian troops appear to have remained quiet. The Polish regi-
ments stationed in the provinces have received orders to
move without delay towards Warsaw. In the principal streets
of Warsaw artillery has been planted. The Amortisation
Committee of the Public Debt has placed the public pro-
perty in the bank under the protection of the citizens. In
the avenue, end near the Alexander church, the engage-
ment is said to have been most sanguinary. Every body is
hastening to Powark, whither the Russian guards have re-
paired. On the Saxon-place, and in the Cracow suburb,
patrols of Polish cavalry are stationed.
In addition to the foregoing, the " Warsaw State Gazette"
of the Ist inst. gives a few brief details of the battle. The
paper had not on the preceding day appeared, in conse-
quence of all the compositors having joined the people.—
Many armed females were seen, bearing their share in the
dangers of the day.
The shops were still closed on the let inst. (last Wednes-
day) but the new President of Police, Megrzeiki, had is-
sued orders that they should be re-opened. In addition to
the Polish troops, 30,000 of the inhabitants were under
arms ; patrols of the newly-organised national guard were
already passing through the streets, they having taken up
several suspicious looking individuals, and the property and
money found upon them had been deposited at the Council
House.

Towards two o'clock in the morning, no more firing was
heard, and tranquility was soon restored. The Russian
families residing at Warsaw have been placed under the
protection of national honour. Such of the members of the
Chamber of Deputies as happened to be at Warsaw had el..
lowed themselves to be made the organs of the popular
voice, and had obtained the dismissal from the Administra-
tive Council of Prince Lubecki and Count Grabowski, in
whose stead others have been joined to the Council.

The following curious account of Duke Charles of Bruns-
wick is given in the Haniburgk Reporter, which arrived
yesterday. His Highness, after refusing to adopt the sug-
gestions of our sovereign, whose conduct in this affair is al
pattern for rulers, attempted to invade the Duchy with 200
men, whom he had succeeded in getting together ; pursued,
however, by the execrations of his fellow-countrymen, he is
again a wanderer.
" Banwswicx,DEc. 4.—A letter from King William IV.
has been received by our Provincial Estates, in reply to an
application made by the latter some time since to his Ma-
jesty, informing them that he has done everything in his
power to bring about an arrangement with Duke Charles;
but, ' unfortunately,' continues his Majesty. ' Duke Charles
has not replied to our well-intended views. His well-
known way of thinking and acting has baffled every at-
tempt at arranging existing difficulties through the me-
dium of friendly arrangement. We shall, therefore, no
longer hesitate hereby to inform the Provincial
States of Brunswick, Wolfenbuttel, and Blonde°.
burg, that they may look to us for protection and
aid in their endeavours to obtain the redress of their
just grievances. We shall, moreover, consult with our be-
loved nephew, Duke William, and proceed to such mea-
sures as are best calculated to secure to him the rights of
sovereignty? Duke Charles has unhappily not given up
his plan of recovering the possession of a country which it
is notorious he cannot govern. According to the latest
accounts, his highness went from Osterode to Seesen. He
had intended to pass the night at Osterode, where be
arrived the Ist of December, but the news of his ar-
rival having spread in the town, a crowd soon collected
before the inn, at which hie highness was so much alarmed
that he fled precipitateiy, leaping out of a window in the
second story, but without receiving any injury. It appears
that the Duke had collected about 200 men in the Prussian
county of Hobenstein, and had hie head-quarters at Enrich,
intending to attempt to invade the Duchy of Brunswick.
But after a conference with the Commander of a detach-
ment of troops on the froniter, he gave up his plan, and re-
treated to Osterode. He there left his carriage behind, and
is said to be wandering shoat on foot, accompanied by a
Frenchman."
A conference of the gnat owers, on the affair, of Bel-
gium, was held yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign Office.
It was attended by the Russian, Austrian, French, and Ne-
therlands Ambassadors, the Prussian Minister, and Vis-
count Palmerston. The Conference lasted about two hours.
The King will this day hold his eighth and last Levee
before the holidays; and to-morrow, or Friday at farthest,
their Majesties will go to Windsor, where they will remain
till the beginning of February. The Queen's int Drawtng '
