POLISH VIcToAIEs. 1t will be seen, by
reference to our foreign news, that in some
small engagements with the Russians, sue
cess has continued on the side of the Poles.
During the last week, however, Il report has
been generally current, that the Russians
had been signally defeated in general ac-
ton on the 9TH of April, with the loss of
ttcenty five or thirty thousand men, and that
Gen. Diebitsch was taken prisoner. We
have been much surprised TO see this ac-
count published in most of the newspapers,
without any remarks tending to discredit
1t, when the same papers contained the Pol
ish official accounts up to the 10th or 18th
OF April, ia which, there is not word said
OF any such engagement. T his, therefore,
determines the falsity of the report. If ed
itors weuld lake little more pains to CON-
pare dates and examine facts, they would
present much less crude and inaccurate
matter to their readers than they now do.
DR.. THoMAs's Donations. The news
popers generally have undertaken to give
abstracts of the donations for public pur-
poses, of the late Isaiah Thomas, but all of
them that we have seen are so essentially
incorrect, that we have prepared the follow
ing statements, in which the amount of the
several donations is given as nearly as can
now be ascertained. Those which are not
of definite value are believed not to be
overrated.

The Paris papers state that and decisive victo
RES had been obtained over the Russians the Cd of
April, of whom 5000 have been made prisoners be-
sides 20 pieces of cannon. This news rested on the
authority of despatch from Strasburgh but was conf
ned by other collateral reports. The Instruction LII

captured all the arms taken from them proceeded to
Gorgenburgh, driving the Cossacks before them out
Of every village in the route. Othep bodies armed
and organized, have shown themselves in the envrons
of Taurogen.
The other reports which were prevaint in Paris on
Tuesday were, that Courand was in insuIrecton; that
the Grand Seignor had positively refused 20 nav the
last nstalment of his tribute to Russia, and was still
pushing his military preparation and that the king of
Sweden thinking this favourable season for taking
advantage OF the distractions Of the Autocrat was
medtating an attempt for the recovery of Finland
which his predecessors had lost to Russia commu-
nicati9n had been opened between the Poles and the
Turks and an Ambassador was actually upon his
way from Warsaw to Constantinope, to rouse the
Porte to cooperation. Considerable stress had
been laid on Ukase published in the St. Petersburg
Gazette, by which the Emperor disbanded the Fin
ish regiment of Carbneers, showing his dstrust Of
the fidelity Of that province. These REPORTS SAVIOR
ing they all did ofwar had had the effect Of rather
depressing the funds in Paris.
The German accounts in these papers state, that
the Russians upon the I'd inst attempted to cross the
Nistula near Pulawy, but were repused which is an
admition of the victory. The trials of the con-
spirators were not yet concluded in Paris, but no
doubt seemed to be entertained of their acqutal On

A FALSE PICTURE.

One OF the great errors of the opposition to the pre-
sent administration is that their pictures are invara
bly, too highly coloured. Were they to keep with
in the bounds probability, some Of their state
mentE might be believed by reasonable and candid
men, and they might by the use of them, occasionally,
in some measure, advance the objects for which they
are invented. But this, either their want of wisdom,
or want OF prudence will not permit them to do Being
carried away by the violence of their passions they
suffer their judgment to exercise no influence over
them, and run into all the extravaganza which magi-
nation without control displays and consequently
the representations which they make assume an APP
penrance so utterly ridiculous that no man who is
not bent upon believing all they utter, however i'm
probable it may appear, possibly to give credit
to them.
An instance ofthis kind occurred last summer, with
regard to the course pursued by Mr.. Randolph,
Minister to Russia, on his arrival in that country,
The statements which they made upon that subject are
we presume, fresh in the recollection of our readers
and tits not now necessary for to notice them par
ticularly. We inserted, however, in late number,
copy of letter written, as is supposed, by Wash
ington Irving on this subject from which our readers
will perceive that those statements are not only ex-
ceedngly exaggerated, but totally destitute of foun-
dation.
After the above was written, the Richmond Fnaui
rer came to hand, containing the letter from Mr. Clay
upon the same subject, which will be found in another
column, This letter completely fixes the stamp of
reprobaton the conduct of the coaltionists in en-
deavourng to impose upon the public mind, by their
gross and slanderous Misrepresentation.
In the face Of such demonstrations of the
want of regard to veraoity with which the Clay pres
SEES are conducted, it possible that any candid man
continue to credit their assertons If their Gre
dit be not already entirely destroyed by their own
conduct it surely cannot be long before it will be, if
they presst in their present and the soonerit
is done, the better for the public,

fairs under the administration Of Mr.. Adams which
has not yet ceased to operates and that although the
public functionaries may occasionally leave their
places, no serious difficulty will result from it for some
time to come. Some of the Editors of the party
charged the Post Master General with total stop
page of the mail and lift is under an operation
which will admit of the absence for time Of the head
of the Department, we should suppose it must have
been given to by that head HIMSELF since it would
appear from the complaints made last winter that
the momentum given to it by MIR. Adams adminstra-
tion had long since lost its force Had the paragraph
made its appearance elsewhere, we might have sup
posed it to be designed for severe stroke of irony
and as it is, may certainly be regarded as such.

A NEW DRESS.

y Anew dress, although itmay sometimes feel a little
stito the carer, is generally thought if properly
seiected well arranged, to add the confines of the
appearances, and most persons are gratifed with an
occasional opportunity to put it on.
We now appear before our patrons in a new dress
not for person. but for our papeI--and one which
we Nope win " qi.;ss a se,lJia to them The size
of the sheet, will be seem is considerably enlarged
being the largest paper that has been published
in cur state 1t is printed a Washington press,
manufactured by Mr.. Rust, of New York, and with
new type procured principally from Mr.. Howe, of
Philadelphia.
Our patrons will readily understand that this change
has been attended with considerable cost, and must
add to labour and expense but we ask of them no
other return than prompt payment, and little exer-
tion in extending the list of subscribers since our
terms viii remain the that they were before the
change was made; and we hope they will see and feel
the propriety aud necessity of strict adherence to
them. Heach one of our present subscribers would
procure an additional one to list it would make
the number very respectable. This would sweeten
our toll by alording a reward for our labour and
it were not to cause wit to sparkle in our CO.
lumn it certainly would afford US the means of apply
ing such quantity of oil and force to the press as
would cause it to move with great rapidity.
We tender to our friends our sincere thanks for
their former favours, and humby that our future
endcavours please them will be as we'll rewarded as
the past To meet the expenditure of the present
change, we hope that those who in errears will
perceive the propriety their part and the nccess
~ ours, that their accounts should now be paid
The amount to each will be but triHng, but in the
aggregate would amount to sam Of great Importance

TOAD EATERS.

The Richmond Wing calls Washington Irving a
toad eater. Mr. Irving, far as we know, has never
taken any part the between the two parties
now in this country having gone Europe before the
heat of the battle commenced. He was appointed
by President Jackson Secretary of Legation to the
mission to England merely the ground of his well
known abilities.
As the opposition have pretended to object so
strongly the appointment Of party men to Office we
might have supposed that from Mr.. lrvng's discon-
necsion with party he would have been such per-
as would have suited their views. Indeed, when
the appointment was first made they pretended to be
delighted with it; and spoke of him in terms very
different from those they have generally used respect
ing persons who have received appointments from
Gen. Jackson.
What then is it, that has suddenly tran sformed
him into toad eater, according to the views of the
coaitonsts, with Mr.. 5000 at their head 1t has
resulted simply from the fact that by asserting the
truth respecting the conduct of MIR. Randolph, as
related to him by person well acquainted with the
fact and from whose character and standing it is i'm
possible to doubt the correctness of his statement Mr.
Irving has been instrumental in putting down villain
Jus olteiNouI MiiSN MiS laOlltdteu
circulated by them for party purposes,
From this circumstance arc enabled to see clear
y shat they desire with regard to appointments and
whit kind of men they which they wish to see
retained placed in Office. It is not men who have
taken and will take part in favour Of either party
not men who are not aTtizans, but who will
aid hem in sanderng the President and his friends
or at least will abstain from correcting statements
raised by them calculated to dsparaBe the character
of our country, and its public functonaries at home
abroad If they act like of honor and patriots,
they are, in the opinion of such the messenger
to Inenos Ayres, Toad eaters, and unworthy Of the
respect ofthc friends Of Henry Clay

If he could not reinstate him IN his Confdenee--ii
he remained distrustful of his sincerity and honor
--he might and shosd have avoided any declaration
Of his sentiments, suspended tunt the period Of his
return to private fe. This sentiment is so directly
at war with the feelings of all honorable men, that
no one but true disciple Of Ignatus Loyalla could
suffer himself to be influenced by it and our surprise
is that the Editor Of the National Gazette should
have the bodness to propose it rule of conduct
for any man.
The course proposed by Walsh, which is the re-
verse of that which President Jackson has adopted is
the one which has always been believed to have
been adopted by Messrs. Adams and Clay, in the
case of the strange coalition which they formed when
the former was elected President by the vote and
influence by the latter, and the latter was appointed
Secretary of State by the former And this was one
strong objection to those men, and of the grounds
upon which they were removed from office.
The American people are not in favour ofIesuiti-
cal doctrines. They admire openness, cantlour and
fair dealing and any who wishes to lose their
confidence and support has only to adopt as his rule of
conduct the principle which is proposed by the Editor
Of the National Gazette, and he will eectually ac-
complish his end while the man whose candour of
expression, and openness of conduct places him
above suspicion of want of sincerity in his sentiments
and feelings may rely upon their continued support
and admiration.
This constitutes the great difference between Mr.
Adams and General Jackson in the opinion of the
majority of the nation The one is believed to be
entirely insincere in his professions and therefore
they are unwilling to trust him. This has been
clearly manifested at the Ballot boxes The other is
believed to be remarkable for his purity of purpose,
and destitution all disguise and therefore they are
willing to commit the destiny of the nation to his hands,
confident that all the energies of his body and mind
will be devoted to the public service, with single
eye to the promotion of the honor and prosperity of
the country.
Had Mr.. Walsh thrown OUT this suggestion with
the view of entrappng the President and thereby des
troying his reputation among the American people,
it might be regarded ingenious device; but from
the nature and circumstances of the case we cannot adj
NIT Of this idea and therefore attribute it to the
oseness of Walsh's principles and Consider il as one
OF the cardinal principles of the party whose cause ne
pretends to support

CONTRADICTION.

An opposition Editor, in noticing statement that
Mr.. Barry has gone to Philadelphia, in company with
his son, for the purpose of placing him under the
hands Of physician and intimation that he would
probably be charged with negecting the duties of his
station by doing expresses the hope that no mem
Der of his party will make such charge, remarking
that parental ties should not be forgotten nor paren-
tai duties neglected, under an apprehension of being
charged with neglect Of official duties, by obeyng
their dictates and performing their demands. lie

THE coRREspoNpENcE.

Eowever the correspondence between the Pres
idert and Vice President may be regretted ON some
accounts il manfests the honest sincerity and manly
frafkness of the former, which must place him on
elevated ground in the estimation Of all high minded
and honorable men. 1t is in perfect contrast to
the course marked out as proper for him to have
puisued in the case, by that trucking trimming and
suye politician, the Editor of the National Gazette
ant for that very is entitled to our admira-
tiof and applause. Robert Walsh says, "The Pres
