THE EVENING STAR.

We have yet nothing absolutely to authenticate
the rumour which we mentioned in yesterday's
Paper, of another signal victory having been
achieved by the Poles over the Russians. No
loub?, however, exists of great and important
advantages having been obtained by the former ;
and we are just informad, from a most respectable
soureo, that the Polish Legation is'in possession of
the particulars of this fresh victory. Our informant
however, states, that this obstinate and sanguinary
: (millet, which lasted two days—the 19th and 20th
c. M.:v —took place with the Russian Imperial
Guard, commanded by General PAULEN, which
was almost annihilated. These particulars appear
as we have remarked in another paragraph, to be
dentified with accounts we have before given, of a
successful engagement with the Russian Guards.

The contents of the Foreign journals, brief ex-
tracts from which will be found in another column,
are interesting. From Malta we learn, that for-
midable naval preparations are on foot in the Me-
diterranean and Adriatic ; that great activity pre-
vails in the magazines of Malta; and in Greece,
we find that a partial composure of its troubled
state has been effected, by the personal interpo-
sition of Count CAPO D'ISTRIAS.

In the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 27th May,
w•e find the decision of the Cabinet of Vienna, re-
specting the entrance of the Poles and Russians into
Gallicia : namely, that Dw ERNICKI is to be sent to
Laybach, and the Polish soldiers to Transylvania ;
alt the Russian arms to be delivered to Gen. Ru-
DIGIR, and all the Polish arms to be entrusted to
the Austrian government!

From Moscow, of the 6th May, we learn that the
cholera morbia has become less fatal ; and the
Frankfort papers of the 27th May state, that the
sanitary cordon is so strictly enforced, that every
transgressor is immediately tried and shot !

As we announced, three days ago, in a pleasant
article on the Polish Topography of our followers
(the Morning and other Evening Papers), the brave
Polish Commander has completely out-manoeuvred
the Russians ; and while a Polish corps was amus-
ing them at Minsk, SICRYZNECKI united all the
corps on his left, crossed the Bug, and taking
Ostrolenka by assault, has proceeded to Lonna,
defeated the Russian Guards at Tychosinl and, in
fact, occupied the whole country between the Bug
and Narew.

DIEBITSCH thus loses the whole of his reserves
and magazines; and the accounts from Warsaw of
the 25th, left him at Zolocow, apparently in route
for Ostrolenka, or for Bielak or Bialystock ; but
apparently with no resource, but to throw himself
on the protection of Prussia, just as DW ERNICK I
threw himself on the Austrians. He has, how-
ever, to cross the Bug and Narew, with Polish corps
on every side of him.

By this masterly movement, the Polish Gene-
ral has placed himself in contact with the Sa-
mogitians, Lithuanians, and other revolted dis-
tricts, by whose population his army will be in-
definitely augmented, so as to leave to Di EBITSCH
no prospect of escape, but within the Prussian
frontiers. The foreign journals assert he will en-
deavour to reach Thorn, in Prussia; but we ex-
pect he will seek to cross the Roesoka, and avail
himself of the shelter of its vast forests.

In the meantime London wag filled yesterday
with rumours of a new great victory of the Poles ;
and it probably alludes to the overthrow of the
Guards at Tychosin, where they would be taken by
surprise; for the march of Scum. vzx EcKii is
without parallel in modern warfare. From War-
saw to Ostrolenka, was a Bank march of full
eighty miles; thence to Lomza another 30 ; and to
Tychosin 20 more—the last 50 being in the rear
of the Russian grand army. The Poles seem also
to have gained advantages in a repulse of the Rus-
sians at Minsk ; and this, with the new position of
SKRYZNECKI, no doubt forced DIEDITSCH to re-
treat to Zocolow, near the lower Bug.
In truth, as to the Russians, the Poles appear
to have saved themselves, while the Government of
Europe have been basely looking on. But not so,
the best spirit of Europe—the Journalists have
done their duty—and in consequence every advice
from Warsaw brings information of the arrival of
brave men of all nations, to assist in the contest, and
among them to their honour, are many renowned
officers.

ranks of the Warsovians have also been
recruited by volunteers from Prussian and Austrian
and the whole campaign resembles a war
chivalry, in which the enlightened enterprise of
is directed individually, against the further
hments of the barbarous Mescovites,
and Siberians.

1 horrible massacre of ths jreyoga bib popu-
at a country fair, by a band of armed po-

lice ; and the continuance of anti-reformers in
high official situations, in which they publicly
thwart the liberal polig of the KING and bis Mi-
nisters, were topics 'of general animadversion,
yesterday and to-day, in all political circles.
It is thought that a Special Commission ought
to appease public indignation on one subject;
and that the sound principle of hundreds of
respected men entitles them to distinctions, to
which the defeated faction clings as means of baffling
the beat hopes of the whole country. Pembroke-
shire and Cumberland seem in particular to claim
the protection of Government.

We give place to-d 4 to
.a letter from Mr.
O'CoNw ELL, on the Reform Bill as it affects Ire-
land ; not because we approve of his discontent or
his arguments, but because, as we affect no infalli-
bility, we would give all opinions fair play. We
are also induced to give it place, became there are
those in England who have no objection to the Bill
but in the undue advantages which they assert it
bestows on Ireland. We do not regard Mr.O'Cox-
NELL as an enemy to the Bill as far as it goes,
and we respect his intelligence and intentions; but
he, and other objectors to certain points, seem to
forget that the Bill is for the best reparation of an
old house, and not for the building of an entirely
new one. Beset with so many and such powerful
vested interests, the object of its authors was to
unite the greatest chance of independent election
with the smallest interference with the usages of
the nation and the privileges of individuals. In at-
taining this desirable mean, we:pink the Bill a mi-
racle of wisdom. To have attempted more would
have been to compromise Reform altogether, since
nothing could be effected but with the consent of
the three estates. It is a trite theory to make Re-
presentation co-extensive with houses, or families,
or population ; but without pulling down and re-
building, to make the proposition, would be like
that of the mice in council. As to another point
in Mr. O'Cox NELL'S Letter—his arraignment of
the people of England for neglecting or wilfully
oppressing Ireland, we differ from him totally.—
We are persuaded that the best dispositions exist
in England generally towards Ireland. England
suffers like Ireland from rack-rents and absentee-
ism ; but the system affects Ireland the most, be-
cause there is in England a circle of returns, and
in Ireland none. England is drained and impove-
rished by non-resident landlords, and by drains of
taxes, always directed to London ; but the circle of
returns is less, and its continuity not so wholly in-
terrupted as in the case of Ireland. Both suffer
too equally from high rents. Why does not Mr.
O'CONN ELL strike at the root of the evil as a Na-
tional, and not as a mere Irish patriot, by intro-
ducing a law to restrict rents to one-fuurth of the
produce in England and Ireland, and to one-fifth
on absentee estates in Ireland; and persevere, sea
Bien. after sessions, till he carries it ? And why
does not he also move for a system of Irish poor laws,
assessing absentees double, and rating assessments
according to the size of farms ?

We are happy to observe, by an Advertisement
in this Paper, that the United Trade Societies of
London have determined on a measure which will
prove to after ages, that Loyalty, in this epochs of
British history, is synonymous in meaning with
patriotism ;—or, in other words, that fidelity and
attachment to the KING, are identified with fidelity
to the people. We hope most anxiously, that a
fund may be raised, in the way that i s proposed,
adequate to erect an architectural memorial, ex-
pressive of public gratitude to our present justly
beloved Monarch. It will stand proudly conspicu-
ous among the innumerable fabrics in Europe,
reared by servility to flatter tyrants, and declare
to after ages the judicious patriotism of the in-
dustrious classes of Britain.

of the morning, when they were 84i for the ac-

with little doing.
The Foreign Market is also in a state of stag-
nation : prices much the same as yesterday.

A gentleman, just arrived from Baltimore, states,
that Rowland Stephenson, the Ex-Banker, of
Lombard-street, was actually hooted out of New
York, on a recent visit to that town. Since which
he has retired to New Orleans, where he and his
Clerk (Lloyd), have effected the purchase of an
ostate of three thousand acres ! Our respectable
authority adds, that emigration from Germany to
the United States is equal to ten for one of any
other nation; and that the Germans make the best
settlers.
