remains Of Napoleon be claimed from the British
Government.
The Belgian Government is anxiously alert IN
the formation of an army, which is to be ofliccred
in the first instance by several generals and three
hundred officers from France. The militia is al
so to be called out, and one hundred pieces OF
cannon to be in readiness in the course OF the
present month. All these arrangements neces-
sarily grow out of the approaching retirement OF
the French reserve, and the speedy termination
of the Dutch and Belgian armistice.
The Dutch papers announce officially that an
armistice had been agreed upon with the Be'sl'
ans, which was to commence on the 20th OF Au'
gust, and end the 10th of October.
From The Courier Of The 18Th.
"Pmis Sept 15.-Nothing has yet been re-
ceived to confirm the news received from Cra-
COW, dated August q, announcing victory over
Marshal Paskewitsch. Another version howev-
err, is given of the reported defeat of Rudger, &C
cordng to which it was on the 2Cth that the corps
of this Russian General was suddenly attacked
by 5000 men, detached from Warsaw, whilst
Rozyeski followed him to throw as much lmpedI-
ment as possible in his way Besides the battle
IF the Goth another is stated to have taken place
IN the s2d, when the Russians are again said TO
have retrcatcd to the Russian territory. This
information is the same as we gave yesterday,
but it reaches Us this morning with dates and de-
tails, which give it much probability, particularly
as far as relates to the check alleged to have been
sustained by Rudiger.
1t is painful that 50 much uncertainty exists
with respect to events 10 which the whole Of
France takes such a lively interest. But, il we
have no positive news, we have at least the con-
ISOLATION of observing that all the reports which
are IN circulation, are favorable to the Polish
cause, from which we may draw the inference
that something satisfactory has really taken place.
particularly as the Prussan State Gazette tells
us nothing more about the magnificent operations
of Marshal Paskewtsch, although it told us a
fortnight ago that he was at the gates OF Warsaw.
The Cracow Courier says" Our camp in the
en- virons Of Warsaw, is composed of so, 200 men,
who may certainly be regarded as the best aud
the bravest troops in Europe. Such is the patri-
otto ardor with which they are animated, that they
wait " ith the utmost anxiety for the signal to
march against the enemy, III concert with the ie-
w en- masse, of which about $4,000 men, well
armed, are encamped under the walls OF the Ca
pital. In the number are comprised the following
corps:-
81. The corps Of kaminski, 1000 strong in
the environs of Kronskie.
9. The corps of Bozyeski, about 10. 600 men.
is at Ostrowice. in the palatine of Cracow, there
are two camps formed of the levy en- masse, one
at Zaski, the other at Pilica, where there are
about 10000 men.
The reserves, with the Cossacks OF Noihyna,
amount to more than $4,000 regular troops; Po-
land, therefore, in the midst of her distresses,
has now at her command 10000 men, who will
march towards the enemy with the convection that
the safety or the ruin of the country depends up
on decisive victory, and who, solely cOnidng
in the assistance of the Most High, who always
assists the just cause, are about to sustain cum
bat with the second Russian Marshal, whose ar
my does not number more than 100, 900 men,"

contest will thus be Indefinitely prolonged. if the
Powers do not interfere eficaciousy to prevent it.
BRUssELs, Sept. Is.
"a letter from Vienna, dated the lst inst,
says--lt is reported to-day on Change that the
Russians, having attacked a battery erected in
front Of Warsaw. were repulsed with great loss.
From this commencement it is concluded that
the place will! be obstinately defended, and that
the prompt retreat of the Polish army on the Ca
pital was for the purpose of concentrating ITS
force, while the Russians are obliged to divide
theirs to defend themselves OIL both banks. 1t
besides appears that the town does not want sup
plies. and that the siege may last long
