by the British ship Arkwright, which arrived last
evening, from Dundee on the Gath September, we
nave been able TO obtain from passenger the only
llate paper on board-the Dundee Courier Of The
20th--whch contains The disastrous intelipence US
|glve below OF the surrender of Warsaw to the Rus
SLAMS. The captain of the Arkwright states, thar
when he left Dundee he had in his possession three
London papers which contained confirmation of
this event, but he gave them away at the Orkney
Islands, where he touched with his vessel.
From the Dundee Courier of 2Oth Sept
FALL OF WARSAW,
This capital has at fenghth fallen After two.
days OF sanguinary fighting the town surrendered by
capitulation and the Russians entered Praga.
Tie following communication Is from The Office of
the London Times on The 27th.
"Oficial intelligence was received at Berlin, on
the tn inst of the capituaon of the city of War;
saw, on the 9TH, at O'clock p. in after two DAYS
bloody fighting in the neighbnrhood, during which
The Russians carried by assault all the entrench-s
ments which had been raised TO protect the cty.''>
"The Polish army, followed by the Diet and tho
members OF the Government, retired through PragaA
on the night of the 9th, and early the 9Th the
Russian arms entered, maintaining perfect order
persons and property were respected" :.
"The Poles were retiring upon Modn and Flock,
where il is supposed they would make an effort to
themselves"
Such is the substance of this fatal intelligence ID
IS still said that the Poles will MAINTAIN the struggle.
But the loss of their capital is fearful blow, and
may, we fear, prove fatal to their cause.
at will be perceived that the above is said to be
communication from the London Times, not an ex-
tract. The times receives an express from Paris :
every other day. and the presumption is, that on the
18th their express did not arrive until after their ed
ton was printed; and consequently that they mere
ly announced the fact 70 the public, and forwarded
the particulars to different parts ofthe United King
DOM This is the more probable, as the "Sun'' Of
the l7th merely alludes to the fact without giving
any particulars and states too, that Warsaw fell on
the ith instead of the 7th. There is not the slight
est reason 10 doubt the authenticity Of thss nelli
gence, asst is expressly stated that the official intel.
ligence was received at Berlin on the 18th.
The following is the extract alluded to, from the
Sun of the 18th.
From the Sun. = Sc s.Ed
"a morning contemporary mentions the capitula-
ton OF Warsaw as catastrophe that took place on
the It'll, after two days bloody fighting in the neigh
borhood, during which the Russians carried by as
saut all the entertainments which had been raised to
protect the city,. We have still our hopes that this
disastrous news is unfounded; it, however, il unluck
lily proves to be correct, shall tremble for the
sensation it will create in the French capital. The
people there feel intense interest in the cause of
the Poles, and will not we apprehend, taniely brook
the intelligence of the fall of Warsaw"
