vance, okryZneCkl QlSpatcneu COurleTS tC Warsaw to prepare them for retreat of the army, and to desire that the place might be put in a condition to sustain siege, in case ] the fortune of war should be against the cause in general engagement. Nothing could ex- ceed the enthusiasm withwhich the news was received. The citizens renewed their as- surances of devotion to their country; and we are told that. in an incredibly short space oi time, a new tete-du-fiont was constructed at Praga, and a second wall of protection was thrown up by 15,00O men, which was suffi- cient to shelter the whole of the patriot army. The most influential senators and citizens went out to join the camp, and every one had reconciled himself to the worst. The retreat, in the mean time, continued, the Poles every where carrying with them the inhabitants of the country, and every description of provis- ion which could serve as subsistence to the ed the capital, and fixed his head-quaI ters ! there; the bulk of his army was at Milosna, a dozen miles distant. In their retreat they appear to have been greatly harrassed by the Russians, and at Minsk an action of some consequence took place, in which the Rus sians say the Poles lost a considerable number ct men; but this is denied by the accounts upon the other side. Arrived at Dembe- Wielki, the Russians found that they could no' procure "even little straw for their hor- ses." and the Field Marshal had, therefore, no alternative, but again to sound retreat, Tn which he has been pursued by the Poles; and he last account of him is from Mordy, whlchis beyond Seidlec, the point from which ne set out. On the 29th April the whole Po- ilsh army had again advanced, and resumed us former positions at Kostrayn, and beyond Siennica On the 3Oth the Polish army ad- t,Ht ft,f I, n1no at Kaluzyn. The effect of this retrograde movement must be highly favorable to the patriot cause, for, besides its influence upon the still wavering provinces of Russian Poland, It proves that the subsistence of the Russian army IS entirely dependant upon their supplies m the rear, and these may be interrupted by the insurgents.
 The only drawback to this exhilirating news is the statement (of which the accuracy is no longer questonable) of cholera mor6us prevailing amongst the Polish troops. It is said, however, to be abating of its virulcnce and mortality.
 WARSAW, May 2.-An Englishman con- ing from Odessa has entered our ranks. Six English surgeons have also arrived to assist the wounded. During the few days fighting, the young Narischkin, the natural son of the late Emperor Alexander, was made prisoner. The Commander-in-chi of the Polish army, upon the requistion of Field Marshal Die btsch, has consented to exchange him, but solely upon the condition of receiving back the martyr of good cause, Colonel Severin Krzyzanowski, whom the Russians still retain in prison, contrary to the law of nations, and of all our constitutional arantees.-Meseen- ger Polonais, May 3.
 Wereceived last night Hamburgh papers to the 10th of May inclusive. They bring us the gratifying intelligence that the Russians were retreating in all directions. Diebitsch is said to have left 10000 sick in Siedlec.- He is retreatng with his whole army to the Bug, over which river he has thrown bridges. A number of details are given of partial en- agreements, in which the Poles have had the | advantage. An army obliged to leave behind materiel and prisoners, must suffer much from vigorous enemy at their heels.
 Dwernicki has gained great advantages 1T Volhynia. The accounts from Lemberg ant Brody are highly favorable to the Poles.
 It is stated in the Hamburgh papers tha Austria has addressed note to the English French, Prussian, and Russian Governments inviting them to send Ministers to Congress at Aix-la-Chapelle for the purpose, of agree ing to general reduction of the armies of tn, Continental States, and for the purpose of set ting the Polish and Belgian affairs.
