LONDON, April 23.-Private accounts from Warsaw
state. that the Polish Commander-in-Chie whose head
quarters were at Siennica, was near those Of Gen.
Diebitsch at Garwo!n, and that Diebitsch could easily
BIO taken in flank by a Polish corps, which was at Sled
lee, and in his rear was Gen. Dwernicki.
Ii is stated that the number of prisoners taken, by
lar exceeds the amount in the bulletin, and that the de-
moralization in the Russian army was very great. The
national Army, which was in want of cannon at the be-
ginning OF the campaign, has at present a sufficient
quantity, wih a reserve OF 40 pieces. The Russian
artillery have lost their talisman-those famous pieces
OF cannon which were in the campaigns of France aud
slams used TO call them their Grandmothcrs.

Itis even apprehended that the shores Of The Bal

learn from Warsaw, that an act of adhesion, Of
which the following is an extrac', has just bsen reeeiv-

Let us proclaim aloud, before all Europe, that the
cause of the Poles extends as far as the Dnieper and
The Dwins, that we all form a part Of that Poland
