English merchants in this capital, to Mr. Hoppoer,

LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 13.

Ova o'Csocz, Thu DAT.—.Thennonsisr. 01. Bs.

German mails arrived last night and this morn-
ing, but leaving us still totally in the dark, in
regard to the actual state of Russian and Polish
affairs in the seat of war. We obtain only Ruff-
elan reports, garbled sod mystified by •the Berlin
Government papers ; and, on the opposite side,
only what it suits the Austrian Government to
permit to go to the world. Again the universal
sanitary cordons obstruct the free intercourse of
private communications by the usual channels.

Even the French Papers are tardy or useless ; for
the patriotic Editors obtein as communisations,
while the Ministers, from party motives, are more
malignant against a CA Int which Y a weapon to
tbsir opponents, than even the Austrians and
Prussians.

Our inferences, therefore, in regard to the,
true state of the operations, are obliged
to be made from negative, as well as posi-
tive circumstances; while of the latter, the

data are so scanty. We caught eagerly, as avowed
friends of Poland, at the successive articles printed
in the Cracow Courier ; but we fear that Couriers
in general are the tides of lying papers. It may
be, that it has been the policy of the friends of Po-
land, to spread news of victories which never ex-
isted, except in the imagination of the writers.
We are, therefore, not fond of quoting the
Cracow Courier a third, or fourth time ;
but from necessity, we refer to its number of
September the Ist, in which they change the
locality of their victories, and now teU us that
RovA*lxO, or Ultlxsal, has defeated the ad-
vancing corps, late TOLSTOI.", Or of KAY UTZ ;
and we would not insist on this as a grave fact,
on such authority, but that we have admissions
to the assns elect by way of Berlin, where
they make the sorry boast, that the Russians
escaped with their magazines to the left side.

On the other hand, we cant from th. Pros-
sian Papers, that so late a. the 28th, PALMERI/170CH
had his head-quarters still at Nothings, whom be
is at loam silent, as to any operations, suitor of his

Now. as partisans of the Poles, we augur mach
