 By the Brussels papers, it appears that the
 Belgian Government is making active prePa- rations for war, and that the National Con- gress is disposed to reader 1t every possible assistance in its chivalrOus career. lndepen- dently of authorizing the Government to raise loan of twelve millions of 1Orins, 1t has PIa- ced at the disposal of the minister of war supplementary credit of six millions; and. still further to meet the pressing exigencles of the state, they have empowered the Govern

 Official Bulletin-WarsaU, April l.-The
 comm andcr-in chief having learned that Mar
 shal Diebitsch had divided his forces, and
 only left small corps of his army to observe
 inc capital, took the resolution to pass with ! a great part of his troops to the right bank of the VistuIa. After having previously sent Gen. Uminski towards Ostroenka, to keep in
 check the corps of Gen. Sacken, and the Guards who were advancing there, he quilted
 Warsaw during the night of the SOth ut. and
 attacked at Wawar, the corps of Gen. Geis-
 mar who were there intrenched in very
 strong and advantageous position. While the ] advanced guard of the Polish army were en-
 gagged in combat with four regiments of Rus sian infantry, Gen. RybnskI appeared with
 his division on the eneny's right, attacked it bv storm, and carried at the point of the bay 1 onet all its redoubts and intrenchments he ] destroyed one entire reg imeRt, forced anoth- er to lav down their arins, took three cannon, two standards, and drove the enemy into a precipi,ate retreat. In this combat, which lasted more than two hours, the brigade com manded by Col. Romarine particularly dis tinguished itself. The enemy, forced to quit very advantageous positions, which were guarded and fortified since the 9th of Feb re- treated to Milosna, where 1t attempted to make stand, but was compelled to yield un- der the fire of our infantry, which crossGd it from both sides. As the enemy was return ing towards Minsk, he received fresh rem forcements; he then made many attempts to maintain good positions, which the ground presented to him: but all resistance on his part proved useless. Our troops pressed him
 
 bewielki, where he joined the corps of Gen. Rosen, which occupied there a military forti- fled position. It was then o'clock in the evening, when the resistance had become more obstinate. The combat lasted tiIi ten

 but after contest of some hours, the enemy
 was routed, his positions abandoned to our troops, and he fled with precipitation. His loss must have been very considerable; 1t IS estimated at @O0O killed and as many Wound- ed. Many officers have fallen, among others, the Colonel commandant of the Wilma regi- ment. We have made 5000 prisoners, for whole battaliOns were forced to lay down their arms. and we are every instant hearing that during the present day additional prison CTS are hourly bringing into head quarters.
 We have taken l2 pieces ofcannon.a great many wagons of ammunition. and good deal of arms. The regiments of Facheurs (scythe-men) having demanded arms, We have assigned to them those left by the ene- my on the feid of battle they went to seek them. and are returning armed with muskets. The combat having lasted till 10 o'clock at night. and the army being fatigued after more than twenty hours hard marching and fight ing, 1t was impossible to pursue the enemy. Nevertheless, the effects of this combat promise us immense results, for the general
 in-cbief. conformably to the plan which he
 has SO happily conceived. proposes to attack
 the dispersed cantopmcnts of Marshal Die

 his endorsements. We hope that this bold
 military operations so we'll and ably combined, will lead to important results, and assure a complete victory to the noble defenders of liberty and national independence.
