A letter dated Warsaw, Sept. 8, (wrtten by al
Russan,) says-"Poand i, again subject to it's law
atul sovereign. On the 9Th inst. Field Marshal
Count Paskcwitsch sent confidential officer to

the submission of the city, and to PROMISE on the
other hand, amnesty and pardon. With an infa ]
9tuaton which cannot be sufficiently deplored these
] words OF peace were rejected by the leaders of
the insurrection. On tho 9th, at day break the
Russian army advanced to storm the city. After
a most desperate and sanguinary resistance our
l brave soldiers with rare intrepidity, made them
selves masters of four redoubts which lay upon our
line OF attack, well the first line of intrench
ments which surround Warsaw itself, and of which
VIOLA is a perfect fortress. The task, no weyer
was not ended with this; there remained a second
line OF lntrenchments, an6 broad moat round

reconsideration, but this also elapsinp without a sat

the edges of the bitches towards the Jerusalem

The London Morning Herald Of the goth says-
The fate of Warsaw and the ruin of sacred a
cause as that of Poland, appear to cast a general
gloom over the public mind; hard and bitter the
complaints against government, which by sin gle
manifestation of its will, could have saved brave

the state of the capital most alarming, the public
feeling IS raised to state of phrensled hostility
against the minister's on tl4sr policy towards Po-
land; their funds have fallen from to per cent.
