FALL OF WARSAW,

! per on board-the Dundce Courier of the
/ 10Th, which contains the disastrous i'll
telIigencc we give below of the surrender
of Warsaw to the Russians. The Capt.
Of the Arkwright states, that when he
left Dundee he haG in his possession three
London papers which contained Il con-
firmatinn of this event, but he gave them
away at the Orkney Islands, where he
touched with his vessel.

| FALL OF AIRS AW.
4 This capital has at length fallen. AZ
ter two days of sanguinary f"hting the
town surrendered by capitulaton and the
Russians entered Praga.
From the | ondon Times Of the 18th.
"Oflicial intelligence was received at
Berlin, on the llth instant, ofthe capi,u-
latlon of the city of Warsaw, on the 7th,
at six o'clock, p. M. after two days bloody
fighting in the ncighborhood, during
which the Russians carried by assault all
the enlrenchments which had been raised
to protect the city"
/. "The Polish Army, followed by the
Diet and the members of the Govern
mcnt, retired through Praga on the night
of the 9TH, and early on the 9Th the Rus
sian Army entered, maintaining perfect
order-persons and property were re-
spected."
4 "The Poles were retiring upon Modlin
and Plock, where it was supposed they
would make an effort to maintain them
selves"
!, Such is the substance Of this fatal in
telligence. 1t is still said that the Poles
will maintain the struggle.-But the loss
ofthcir capital is fearful blow, and may,
we fear, prove fatal to their cause.
4 1t will be perceived that the above is
said to be a Communication" from the
London Times, not an extract. The
Times receives an express from Paris
every other day, and the presumption is,
that on the 18th their express did not ar
rive until after their edition was printed;
and consequently, that they merely an
nounced the fart to the public, and for
warded the particulars to different parts
Of ,he United Kingdom. This is the
more probable, as the "Sun" of the after
noon of the Eth, merely nlludes to the
fact without giving any particulars, and
states too, that Warsaw fell on the llth
instead of the 7.h There is not the
slightest reason to doubt the authenticity
of this intelligence, as il is expressly stat
ed that the "oflicial intelligence" was re-
ceived at Berlin on the IIlh.
The following is the extract alluded to,
from the Sun of the Eth.
"a morning cotcmporary mentions the
capitulation of Warsaw rs n catastrophe
that took place on the llth after 1.-TWO
days bloody fighting in the neighborhood,
during which the Russians carried by as
sault all the entertainments which had
been raised to protect the city" We
have still our hopes iha, This disastrous
news is untuunded; If however, 1t I'M
luckily prove to he correct, We shall
trcmhle for the sensation it Will create IN
the French capital. The people there,
feel an intense interest in the cause Of
the Poles, and will not, we apprehend,
,amcly brook the intelligence Of the fall
of Warsaw"
City, i2 O'clock.-The mostunwelcome
news for some time past is announced
this morning-the capitulation of War
saw after two days fighting in its envi-
rons, with the storming of the Polish ell
trenchments by the Russians.
The fate Of the brave, hut unfortunate
Poles, is in general depIorcd throughout
the city; some faint hopes are expected
from the Polish army, who have made
good their retreat towards PloCk; no
doubt the Emperor of Russia will grant
them favourable terms, which they must
accept as their point Toppui. ITrSo,c
is iosf--we must now look to Paris and
the French nation, how they will receive
this sad catastrophe, and the effect it
will have on the Ministers of the King Of
the French; it will no doubt cause n
great sensation throughout France; but
it is too late-the due is cast. IN the
Stock Exchange they do not give implc-
il credit to the fall Of Warsaw, and we
wish It was in our power to contradict it.
Up To the present time it has not had
much effect on the funds.
The Reform Bill, according to the
London Morning Herald, has gone
through its ordeal in the House Of Com
mons, and would, in n few dnys be sent
M to the Peers, whose boundcn duty il
is to afford it the most immediate con
sldcration and the gravest discussion.
The whole Of the French troops had
left Belgium.
