GENERAL DWERNiCKI IN YOLHYNlA.
General DMernicki. whom the journals have
so often announced as lost, who with his whole
CORPS was surrounded BY the Russian Generals
de Witt, Keutz, and Rudiger, though neither OF
them dare attack him, and whom the Field Mar
shall menaced to destroy in each Of his reports,
has entered Volhynis. after having passed the
Bug, near KrylOw, on the night OF the 10th and
18th current.
The officer, Krazkowski, who brought US this
news; left him on the 9th at Hurochaw, at the
moment when his columns took the direction OF
| Dubno and krzemienice. Our General met ut
Chorachow, recruits from Volhynia, which the
| Russians were leading IN chains. He asked what
was the crime for which they we're enchaineu.-
| They replied that they had committed no crime,
but that they were leading them in this way to
join the army. Ask these brave fellows, reoln-
ed General Dwernicki, pointing to our men. and
! learn from them if single one of them has been
treated in so cruel manner: they will reply that
all of them have fastened, freely and full of ar
dor, to the defence of our common country, and
ON the order of the General, our lancers and our
chasseurs broke the chains. which Afforded an at
| fecting spectacle. Embrace each other then. SAID
the General to them, you are all brothers. Tears
! flowed. cries of jov were heard, and the Vohy-
mans mingled with our troops. The enthusiasm
is general; contributions flow in; and the mha-
bitauts arrive from all sides with arms in their
hands.
The entry Of General Dwernicki into Vohy.
MIA promises great advantages; 1t will be the
signal of instruction for all the Russo Polish
provinces; and it will ensure us besides great
supplies of provisions. Volhynia was the maya
zine for the army of the Field Marshal. who al
ready had obtained from it considerable trans.
port of corn. Nothing resisted the entrance OF
our General; he Is said now to be at Dubno, and
| that on his road he routed some dctachmens OF
the enemy. Every body IS arming; already Sc
veral souadrons are ready to march. You can
form no idea of the enthusiasm of the Inhablt.

ranks of our brave men. For the last hall centu
nv our brethren of Samogitla, Of Nolhyn'a, OF Po-
dolia, and of the Ukraine, have groaned under
the weigh, of servitude, and of hostile occupa-
tion. Nineteen long years have passed since the
inhabitants beyond the Bug nave seen for once
the Polish lance; Dwernicki showed them again
our victorious phalanxes bearing the standard of
liberty
SECOND REPORT FROM DwERNIcKI
