day and night engaged in the labour of the forti-
fications. This Herculean affair is distant from the
gates about two English miles, and in a week will
be so far completed as to resist the attack of a force
much greater than Paskewitsch is ever likely to
lead against it.
No other engagement has lately taken place,
than a few unimportant skirmishes, in which the
Poles have generally been successful. On the 22d,
while General Gerstenzweig with 6,000 men was
passing from Plock, for the purpose of joining the
main body of the Russian army, he was attacked
by Turno, driven a considerable distance up the
river, which, however, he crossed, and effected
his purpose, but with the loss of several men taken
prisoners. The free-shooters of Colonel Zalewaki
lately inercepted some Russian couriers in their
way to Poland, carrying rewards, crosses, money.
&c. for the Russian army
An order was issued yesterday by Government
for 200,0001 b. of saltpetre for making gunpowder.
The old walls of Warsaw have already contributed
to the cause.

The National State Gazette of Monday, gives
too true an explanation of the affairs of Gielgud.
Two corps of the army in Lithuania--vis. those
under Dembienski and Sierakowski, refused to
obey the orders of General Gielgud to retreat into
Prussia. They told him, that even as a last re-
source they preferred a glorious and honourable
death to desertion from the national cense. They
accordingly threw themselves among superior num •
hers of the enemy, and cut themselves a passage
through to the southern parts of Lithuania: they
have about 5,000 men and 7 pieces of cannon.
The fatality of the cholera has not been more
extensive in Warsaw than at the present time ;
130 Jews have been known to fall victims to this
dreadful malady in the course of 36 hours. The
disease is said to have extended itself in Prussia, in
the direction of Posen. General Saraczowski died
after 12 hours' illness.
GERMAN PAP F. RS . —TH IS DAY.

Letters from Cracow of 30th July announce the
advance of the Russian army towards NVarsaw, so
that the inhabitants of Cracow are in anxious ex-
pectation of the news of the result of a decirive
battle. The cholera was still raging in Cracow,
and increases with unabated violence.

From Pesth this disease is rapidly approach-
ing the frontiers of Germany ; it prevails to a
considerable degree at Krau, and it is reported to-
day that symptoms of it have been seen in Rub.
We hope, however, that the admirable measures
adopted by the Government will protect ns against
the disorder on this side, as they have done on the
side of Gallicis.

Letters from Constantinople of the 11th July,
announce the return of the Sultan to his capital on
the 3d of that month. The schools, with their
teachers, and a great multitude of people were on
the shore, as well u the Christian clergy in their
robes, to welcome the Sultan.

Some cases of plague had occurred, but the
disorder had abated, and for some days no fresh
cases had been heard of.

BELGRADE, JULY 22.—Letters from various
quarters affirm that extraordinary agitation pre-
vails in Bosnia, and that numerous bodies of Bos-
nian have advanced to the frontiers of Albania,
firmly resolved to resist the troops of the Govern-
ment. Among others a letter from Nizpa of 30th
June says—" The first corps of the Bosnian is
rapidly advancing towards Scutari; it amounts to
15,000 DAD, has stormed the town of Ipechi,
where an Ayan lately appointed by the Grand
Visir bad a garrison of 3,000 men, and will soon
join Mustapha Pacha. A second corps of 8,000
men is at Novi Bazar, and a third of 6.000 at
Dazneze. These large reinforcements will enable
Mustapha Pacha again to resume offensive opera-
tions against the Grand Visir, whose force is lees
considerable, and who must gain another victory if
he will prevent all Albania, Macedonia, and in part
other provinces, from hoisting the standard of re-
hellion.
