AS all eyes are at the present mo-
meDt directed 10 Poland, we shall in
the first instance glance at the inteili-
gence from that quarter. The Prus-
sian State Gazette OF April 22d, con-
tains the following official article:
From the Russian Head Quarters,
.dprii I4.-Field Marshal Count Die
bitsch transferred his head quarters on
the 10th to Siediic, where the whole
Russian army is now united. The en-
envy had avoided the attacks at all
points, and the badness Of the road con-
tinued to make rapid movements i'm
possible; and, as large masses Of troops
could not find entrance in a country al
ready exhausted, the Russian com
mander judged il best 10 effect his
union with the corps Of Generals Ro-
sen and Pahlen. This has been done.
and the operations will be now recon-
menced.
On the f4th, the first division of
grcnadiers attacked the enemy on the
left bank Of the Liwice, and drove
him to the other side with loss Of
three hundred prisoners, and many
killed and wounded. To morrow We
shall be able TO give more detailed &C
| counts OF the whole course of the Rus
sian operations.
Much more importance seems to he
attached TO this capture Of three hun
drcd Polish prisoners than such an
event would be likely to inspire, were
they not hard pressed.
On the other hand, we have the fol-
lowing, also given in the Prussian Ca
zette, from Warsaw, April II:
"On the 18th. letter was read here,
from the General-in. Chief to the Go.
vernon OF Warsaw. in which he saws,
that IN case he should have 10 20 a
greater distance in pursuit Of the enc
my. he shall depend on the firmness
and bravery Of the citizens Of War
saw; and was assured, that under the
conduct of Gen. kruckowiecki, they
would defend the city to the utmost
against any hostile attack"
The Polish Gazette reports that the
Russian Guards upon the Bug are now
eifrctipg their junction with the armv
OF Field Marshal Diebifsch.
The papers are filled with details of
the movements Of the Russian armies
but they so merely to prove the fact
that they remain on the defensive, and
that all their efforts FOR the subjugation
Of Poland have as yet proved abortivc.
The French papers contain procla-
nation from the Emperor Of Russia,
placing the government Of Courland
I'm which is wilma. in a state Of war,
and the people under military execu-
Ton, thu authenticating the Polish ac-
counts of an insurrection there.
