Racal. Or THI ARMY or Bassmusta.—The real of Gen. Gull-
leminot from Constantinople, gives some importance to the news pub-
lished by the Geist& * Nuremberg. That Gazette announces that the
corps of the army stationed beyond the Pruth will pass that river to
march upon Poland; it adds, that this military movement was deter-
mined by positive assurances received by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh,
that the Porte would not undertake any thing against Russia during the
time that the present war of Poland may last.—Courrier Francais.
WARSAW, Aram 28.—Themte Slate Gazelle contains an
official report of the Commander in Chief, dated Jacubow, 22d instant,
in which be gives an account of the defeat of Gen. Sierawbki ; which,
on the whole, agrees with the Russian account, only the loss of the
Poles is stated at 2,000 men. General Sierawski is stated to have drawn
this disaster on himself by exceeding his instructions, and advancing
towards Lublin, where the enemy had a very superior force. With
respect to the operations of the main army, after the affair at !pole,
the General in Chief says—" Siedlic might have been taken ; but the
crowded hospitals, and the contagious disorders prevailing in them, de.
terred me. This care was also in vain—the disease bad communicated
itself to our troops, on our meeting with the enemy on the 10th. We have
some hundreds ill of the cholera; the precautions taken will prevent the
disorder from spreading, and from assuming too dangerous& character."
The report then gives an account of some petty actions, in which the
advantage was generally, though not always, successfuL
Oar Slate Gazette says also, For some days past opr troops have
been making retrograde movements towards the Vistula, but no action
of Importance has taken place. Only some skirmishes, here and thew,
occurred. The da before yesterday there was a pretty smart action at
our rear; the third regiment of Hulans especially distinguished itself in
an attack on the Russian human. The wounded bay, that our troops took
pieces of cannon. The whole population of the country between the
Liwiec and the Vistula is now repairing to this side of the river. Yester-
day sad today. long files of women, old men, and children, have been
passing through the streets of Warsaw with their few effects, as they
will not expose themselves for the second time to the horrors of war.—
Gen. Krukowiecki exerts the utmost activity to afford assistance to the
unfortunate people, as they pus through the capital. The day before
yesterday 16 more French physicians arrived here.
The Warsaw Gast* says—For these three days past, both our
mops and the RUSI4-.111 have been in constant motion. The day be-
fore yesterday, in particular, there was a severe action near Minsk.—
I Whets our Generalissimo lately issued a proclamation to the army,
calling on it to persevere in case be should be obliged to execute
retrograde movements, the Polish nation saw already, from these
expressions, he was preparing for new events, and making new
plans, which ate, at this moment, being carried into effect. Nobody,
therefore, will wonder that our troops approach within a few miles of
the mrtaL The head-quarters of the General-in-Chief were yesterday
at blins, but news has already been received that the Russians have
again retreated beyond hlinsk."
The Warsaw Gaselis says, that GOD. Toll had issued at Lublin a
printed ion to the Poles, in which he, indeed, praises their
valourbut thews that four millions of people cannot permanently re-
sist the power of Russia. The numerous eomplainta made by
the inspectors of the hospitals of the negligence and hard-hearted-
ness of the surgeons, apothecaries, and others in the service
of the hospitals have induced the Governor of the capital to declare,
that any medical officer guilty of such negligence shall be brought be.
tore a court-martial, and severely punished. He has already ordered
Lieut.-Colonel Stokowski to be tried by a military tribunal, because
being appointed Director of the hospital for the patients ill of the choler;
in the army, be not only did not execute the orders given him, but
spread terror moot; the younger officers in the hospital, so that the mor-
tality has greatly increased through the negligence of the physicians.
General Hrukowiecid has declared several persona, accused of being
spies, to be innocent, and will set them at liberty, unless other proofs
are brought against them within three days.
FRONTIZILI Or OALLICIA, APRIL 20.—We have just heard that
on the 18th General Rudiger had an action near Borornel, on the
Styr, in Volhynla, with General Dwernicki, and took about 1,000 pri-
soners. At the same time the Russians destroyed the bridges in his
rear, by which be passed that river, so that his retreat may very proba-
bly be cut of. General Roth, with pan of his corps, is at Kai:tithe.
Podolak. General Haisuoff, with the third corps of the army, is in
Dubno. Four regiments, which form his van guard, are already in Ease-
mieniec. Hence it appears that the Russian forces in Volbynia and
Podolia are more than sufficient to hinder the further advance of the
Poles in those rovinees. In general, according to all accounts that
we receive from Voihynia, the Poles do not seem to make much
pprseoggtterr there, se their attempts to induce the inhabitants to rise have
hisbusa met with little success.
MAY I.—A letter from Memel of 27th April say.

main bodies of the insurgents are said to have gone to Telschas
and Rossienna. in order to assemble there. Meantime the Governor
General Von Palen has marched from Minas, with four thousand
men, 6 cannon, and 160 horses, towards Scharr*, where be has
probably by this time arrived, having put to flight the insurgents on the
way. Part of the garrison of Polanger is already gone to join him.
The Ruskin General, Schirmer, is said to have marched with 2,000
