MILITARY OPERATIONS IN PoLAND. The
combats of the 3lst of March merit the admir,.
ton OF Europe. The Polish Generalissmo has
Just executed a master-stroke, by throwing
himself suddenly into the midst of the Russian
environments, to crush separately the bodies of
the oppsing armies. This movement, bold with
out being rash, is that of man of head and OK
ecution. Skrzynecki pronounced Skreiinets.
NJ Tell on Diebitsch at an advantage cut his
Ilne, and put to the sword many of the troops
/ OF the Generals Geismar and Rosen, whilst the
Russian General-in- Chief was unable to convey
any assistance to them, or even to send them
instructions. The news of the rout must have
arrived at the same time as that of the attack
at Slennica, the head quarters of Diebtsch.
Skrzynecki passed the Vistula on the bridge
OF boats from Warsaw to Praga, on the nights
OF the both and 3lst Before the break of day
he had carried the ntrenchments which com
manded the cantonment of General Geismar.
/ Al noon the Poles drove back, for the second
time, the same division OF the army which had
rallied at MioSna, three leagues distant, in that
io!est which was disputed in the fights of the
l9th OF February. At o'clock the Poles en-
countered the second line of the Russian en-.
campments, formed by the corps of Gen. Rosen
and the remains Of that of Geismar, occupying
at Dembewielki, seven leagues from Warsaw
another intrenched position The fight lasted
until 10 o'clock in the evening, because the
fohsh General was obliged to wait the coming
up OF his columns TO obtain decisive result,
and the Russians thought they had only to re-
SYST surprise, coup de main, after which the
Poles rallied on retaking the road to Warsaw.
But the operation Of Skrzynecki was more
serious. lie aimed at cutting the Russian ar.
my INTO pieces, and he succeeded. The two
bodies OF GeIsmar and Rosen retreated at IC
clock the on - Io.-
rout. The disorder of this retreat in the nirht
must have been excessively disastrous Sew.
