1t was reported at Warsaw on the LIST of Nav
that the Russians had rctrcaled from SedIrc. and
left there 10000 sick. The latest accounts s,y.
that Colonel Lewinski, who commands separate
detachment. has made himself master Of Ocho.
Ienka, and totally defeated the corps of Geners
Sacken. Diebitsch is retreating with his whole
army to the Bug, over which river he has thrown
bridges.
The Warsaw Courier says, " All theatcOunt
received in Warsaw, agree that the Russian ar
my is retreating at all points. Count Riedro.
one of our officers, said to have fallen in ac,oa
with the Cossacks."
The London Courier of the l4th states that aU
thcntic accounts of the retreat OF the Russian a.

is, the want Of provisions, aud tie destitute STATE
OF the country which he had invaded; but We ar,
enabled to state positively that the cholera mO,.

which can no longer contend against the Poles
who were comparatively suffering little from d.
