Disastrous News-Fall of Warsaw!

Der, we have been able to obtain from paSscn-
ger the only late paper on board, the Dundee Cox-
,ier Of the 20th-whch contains the disastrous
intelligence we give below of the surrender OF
Warsaw to the Russians. The Captain of the
Arkwright states, that when he left Dundee he
had IN his possession three London papers which
contained 4 confirmation Of the event, but he
gave them away at the Orkney Islands, where he
touched with his vessel.
From the Dundee Courier of the Goth Sept.
FALL OF WARSAW.
The. capital has at length fallen. After two
days of sanguinAry fighting the town surrendered
by capitulation and the Russians entered Praga.
The following communication is from the Off
ce Of the London Times of the 18th.
''0iiical Intelligence was received at Berlin,
on the lh instant, Of the capituaton of the city
Of WARSAW, on the .th, at six O'Clock, P. NJ. af-
ter two days bloody fighting in the neighborhood,
during which the Russians carried by assault all
the entertainments which had been raised to pro-
tect the city.
1.-The Polish Army, followed by the Dict, and
the members of tina Government, retired through
Praga on the night of the 7tb, and early on the
9Th the Russian Army entered; person and
property were respected"
''The Poles were retiring upon Modlin and
Plock, where it is supposed they would make an
effort to maintain themselves"
Such is the substance of this fatal intelligence.
1t is still said that the Poles will maintain the
struggle. But the loss of their capital is fear
fui blow, and may we fear, prove fatal to their
cause.
1t will be perceived that the above is said to
be - 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 arrive
until after their edition was printed aud conse-
.quenty, that they merely announced the fact to
+ the public, and forwarded the particulars to diff
ferent parts of the United Kingdom. This is
more probable, as the "Sun" of the afternoon Of
the 18th, merely alludes to the fuct without Civ
ing any particulars, and states too. that Warsaw
fell on the l It'll instead Of the 9TH. There is not
the slightest reason to doubt heauthcnticity of this
intelligence as it is expressly stated that the
"official intelligence" was received at Berlin
on the nth.
The following is the extract alluded to, from
the Sun of the 18th.
From the London Sun.
"a morning contemporary mentions the cap
itulation OF Warsaw as catastrophe that took
place on the lth after 1.-two days bloody fight
ing in the neighborhooJ, during which the Rus.
slams carried by assault all the entertainments
which had been raised to protect the city," We
have still our hopes that this disastrous news is
unfounded: If, however. it unluckiIy prove to be
correct, we shall trembe for the sensation il will
create in the French capital. The people there
feel intense interest in the cause of the Poles,
and will not. we apprehend, tamely brook the
intelligence of the fall Of Warsaw"
CRY, 1so'cock.-The most unwelcome news
for some time past is announced this morning
the capitulation of Warsaw, after two days fight
ing IN its environs, with the storming OF the Polish
entertainments bv the Russians. The fate of the
brave but unfortunate Poles, is in general de-
plored throughout the city, some faint hopes are
expected from the Polish army, who have made
good their retreat towards Flock, no doubt the
Emperor Of Russia, will grant them favorable
terms, which they must accept as their point
d'appui WarsaW IS iOsf-we must now look to
Paris and the French Nation. how they will re-
cetve the sad catastrophe. aud the effect it will
have on the Ministers of the King Of the French;
it will no doubt cause great sensation through
out France; but i. is too late-the die is cast In
the Stock Exchange they do not give implicit
credit to the fall of Warsaw, and we wish it was
in our power to contradictit. Up to the present
time il has not had much effect on the funds !
