The intelligence by the Pacific is in a vari-
ETY. of respects of an interesting character
The retreat Of Gen. ,Diebitsch, after having
advanced near the Vistula. is an event of i'm
pOrtance. The retrOgrade movement was
| probably owing in a considerable degree. to
the difficulty which he experienced in obtain
ing supplies for his army. No general battle
had taken place and from the manner in
which the Poles conducted the war, it appears
not TO be an easy matter for the Russians to
bring one about. In the mean time. the in

r From the London Times Of May 16.
We have just received by an extraordinary
express all the Paris papers Of Saturday, 18th,
aud the Gazette de France, and Messenger DIES
Chambrrs, dated Sunday, together with sew
eral other continental journals. and a packet
of private correspondence from different parts
Of Europe.
Our intelligence from Berlin by this express
is Ito the Sth, and from Warsaw to the Sd inst.
We have likewise letters from st. Peters
burg to the 9th ulr.
The Berlin papers hint at some preparations
Tor negotiation between the Russians and
Poles, but they give no facts that can be re-
lied upon. The Warsaw Journals of the Sd
only give accounts of skirmishes. The head
quarters ofthe Polish army were then at Jen.
dizejow, near KalusZyn. The cholera NOR
bus was not found to extend its ravages; and,
as prccaution against infection, IA sort of
flannel and leather belt was worn by the SOL
diers, and this antidote is described as popular
in the army. H. .4.. t,f

have had the advantage. An army obliged
to leave behind material and prisoners, must
suffer much from vigorous enemy at their
heels.
Dwernicki has gained great advantages in

Brody are highly favorable TO the Poles.

The Poles make honorable mention of Die

the brutal inhumanity which the Russians
have generally displayed. These two indi-
vidnais are said to have treated with much
kindness some Of the Polish prisoners.
The German papers, which arrived last
night, contain news from Warsaw 10 the 5th
instant. 1t seems quite evident from these
accounts that the Russians have experienced
another check, and are prepared for a tempo
