DWERNICKI.

| Scarcely had Dwernicki passed the
Bug when his first steps on that Polish
soil were marked with success. On the
lth five platoons of the I'd regiment
of Lanccrs, and of the 4th horse Chas-
seures, composing a pait ot his corps,
encountered, near Povyck, tho whole
regiment OF Dragons of Chaltopoloki,
which enjoys high reputation in the
Russian army. Our detachment rushed
upon this regiment, put it to rout, took
five officers amongst whom is Prince
Or olenskn 100 dr0xoons, as many horse
and more than 900 carbines and other
weapons. The enemy's regiment lost
also great number Of men in killed and
wounded; finally, the remains ofthls Gel
ebratcd regiment have been dispersed
in the woods, and are continually falling
into our hands. The attack was SO un-
exrccled, and at the same time SO i'm
petous, that we had only one man wonn-
dod, whose name is Captain Iajcwski.
General Dwcrnchi has already taken
possession Of the baggage and transports
OF provisions destined for the great army.

In Il postscript, the State Gazette adds to

Jcndrzejow, near KaIuizyn,. April II,
ten o'clock, a. m.--"On tho 9th inst
Gen. Pinabci, with imposing forces, es-
pecally in artillery, attacked at Wen
grow Gen. Andrychicwicz, who COM
manded the vanguard of Gen. Uminski,
advancing from Stanislawow, Gen. An
drychiewicZ, after an obstinate resistance
retired from Wengrow over the river Ii
vice. On the following day the combat
was renewed. Gen. Andry chewicz, al
! though Q OF his ammunition Wagons fell
by mistake into the hands of the Rus
slams, maintained his position. On the
10th, Gen. Uminski arrived with his
corps, passed the Liwiec in the presence
Of the enemy, attacked him, took Wen
grow, and penetrated as far as Sokolow.
! The Russians, who in consequence of our
! advantages had left the Nistula and con-
centratcd themselves on the road to ST.
! edlice, thinking their communication line
by Granna to Bialystock in danger, de-
tached against Gen. Uminski, five regi-
ments of infantry, "a division Of gre nadiers,
a battalion of sappers, two regiments OF
cavalry, and two batteries of artillery
Before so imposing a force Gen. Umin-
/ ski was obliged to retire over the Liwiec

trcnchments thrown up before the brdg-
es, which the enemy attacked with great
/ violence. Gen. Uminski ordered tho
first regiment of huzzars to pass tho Ii
vice at the ferry near Grodzisk, and fall
| upon the six squadrons Of cavalry station
/ ed there. The regiment executed this
order, dispersed the enemy's cavalry,
killed 30 men, and took $50 prisoners,
together with 900 horses At Liw, how
| ever, as the iete de pOnt was attacked by
increasing forces, Uminski thought it
prudent to give way, and ordered 1t
to be abandoned. Upon this occasion
Major Chiewski, with about 80 men,
mostly wounded, were taken prisoners
On that day the corps of Gen. Umn.ki
had two officers and l6O privates killed,
and 3O5 wounded. On the 10th Gen.
Uminski again captured Wengrow, took
back from the enemy forty wounded Po-
llsh prisoners, and convinced himself Of
the great loss sustained by the enemy on
the preceding days. The number OF
wounded found at Wcnlow amounts to
400 men; among whom are Lieut.. Col.
I Tile, Of the Sappers, a major, and four
other officers. He also picked up on the
I field Of battle 100 stand of arms, and
found divers stores in the town of Wen
