THE POLISH REVOLUTION.
Very disastrous rumors were still kept in cir
culation respecting the condition of the Russian
forces. The Courier Francois Of the Goth May
contains the following:-
s'It is affirmed that letters from Vienna, dated
eth inst. and from Aussburgh, 5th. have been
received by express by some bankers at Paris
1t is added that they brought the news that Gea.
Skrzynccki had just Obtained another important
,is,ory near Kaluszyn, over Field Marshal Die
bitsch, who is in full retreat. Ii was said at VI
emma. that Marshal Debitsch would cease to COM
,uand the army, and that he would be succeeded
by GeGerai Paskewltch.
We are constrained to believe that there can be
no truth in this story. There are letters and pa
pers from Warsaw OF the 10th and 10th, being
as late as those of Vienna, which make no men

We have lately been raising note OF triumph at
the la Supposed retreat OF Diebitsch from the
theatre Of war; under the most disastrous circum.
stances, aud although the Polish commander
speaks IN the document published below, of the
s.faIing back " of the Russians-after the affair
at Mirsk-a fact which the Russians themselves
have officially proclaimed-yet the movement
does not seem to have been such retreat as 1t
was described. So far from it, Diebilsch was still
in the ueighborhood Of Warsaw, and the articles
from that capital, Of the latest dates, repeat the
expectation that general battle was near at hand.
He had in fact only fallen back upon his former
positions. We quote the following from War
saw, May 10.
The day before yesterday it was currently
reported that Diebitsch was advancing against
Praga from Radzomyu, and even from Niepo-
rent, but the report mas not since been confirmed
A very general opinion prevails, however, that an
important battle will soon be fought. In addition
10 the Ministers of the Interior and of Foreign af
fairs, Count WielOpolsG has also sent in his re-
signaton. The Diet has passed resolution that
those provinces formerly belonging to Poland.
and now occupied by the Russians, where insur-
rections have broken out, are to be considered as
xed to the Kingdom of Poland. Assistance
is to be afforded TO enable them TO shake of for
eiyn woke, and punishments are to be inflicted on
those who send succOur to the common enemy ="
The affair mentioned in the beginning Of the
annexed paragraph, took place before the affair at
Milsk, and the subsequent return OF the Russians
70 their old positions. The accounts OF Russian
harbarties we are satisfied, are greatly exasser-
a,ed. Similar tales. written for effect, and al
ready at various times promulgated, have proved
10 DE sheer inventions. Nor is the Pru,sian o.
der to be credited:-
