lfhief. dated Jambow. Z1-d instant, ID which he gives an account Of the de- l feat of Sierawski, which, on the whole, agrees with the Russian account, only the loss of the Poles is stated at 2G00 men; Gen.

 With respect to the operations of the main army, after the affair at lganie, the General in Chief says, "Siedlee might have been taken, but the crowded hospitals and the contagious disorders prevailing in them deferred me; this care was also in vain; the disease had communicated itself to OUT troops on our meeting withahe enemy on the lOth.- Ne have some hundreds i'll of the eho- lera: the precautions instantly taken,wiil prevent the disorder from spreading. and frora assuming toe dangerous char acter.n For some days past, our troops have been making retrograde move .ments toWards.the Vistala, but TO ae- ton ofimportanee had taken place; OIL iY some skirmislles have here and there occurred. The wounded say that our troops took four pieces of cannon.- The whole population of the country between the Lu9iec and the Nistula is now repairing to this side of the river. Yesterday and to-day long files of wo- mer, old men, ,.and children, have been passing through the streets of Warsaw with their few effects, as they will not expose themselves for tue second time 10 the horrors of war ssFor these three days past both-our troops and the Russians have been ia constant motion. There are daily actions. The day be- fore yesterday, in particular, there was a severe action near Minsk.
 "When our Generalissimo lately issu- ed proclamation to the army. calling on 1t to perscvere in case he should be obliged to execute retrograde move ments, the Polish nation saw already, from these expressions, he was preparing for new events and making new plans. which are at this moment being carried into effect. Nobody, therefore, will wonder that onr troops approach within q few miles of the capital. The head quarters of the General in Chief were yesterday at Milosna, but news has al- ready been received that the Russians have again retreated beyond Minski.'
 sThe Morning Chronicle of Wednes- day says, "Various gloomy reports were eonfidently circulated yesterday res pecting Poland. It was, in particular. stated that deputation from Warsaw had waited on Diebitsch, with the offer fof surrendering. in consequence of the disease and famine prevailing in that capital, but that the General had refus- ed the terms. On the other hand, we know that accounts from Warsaw down I to the s2399ttl, have heen received in a high quarter here, which give a avery differ entsersion of the state of affairs. The Russians are not, it is said. near War saw, nor is there the least chance ef their being near that city for a long lime
