 Great excitement in Edinburg.-In Edinbure the right of choosing the representative tO Parliament is with the Common Council, o the city. The people, however, endcavored to exert their influence, in the only way Frfl to them, in favor of Mr. Jeffrey the Lord Ad- vocatc for Scotland. The following account of the proceedings on this occasion is from an Edinbnrg paper of May 6.
 The election ofa nRmber of the city took place in the Council Chamber on Tuesday, and we do not remember any former occa- sion on which the feelings of all classes were so strongly excited. It appeared as If the tUNu UCCu "y |" ''"'O"S though the people had no vote in the choice of a rep, speculative, they expressed their O. ppion in public meetings; and memorials and petitions, nnmerously signed, were laid before the council, for che purpose of Inf1nen- eing their decision. In this manner the ex- citt4nent was maintained, and it continued to the very East, owing to the very uncertain state of the vote, and contra dictOry rnmOrs that were circulated. Early in the forenoon a crowd began to assemble in the nelghbOr- hood of the Royal Exchange. which contin- ued to increase as the hour appointed for the election approached; and about 12 o'clock net only the Exchange, but great part of Kgh-street, was filled with numerous as- senablage, composed of an classes of the re- spec:able inhabitants. Every opportunity was eagerly laid hold of by the multitude 90 give expression ru The feelings by which they were excited. Mr. Joseph M'Gregor was enthusiastically cheered as he arrived, carry ing roll of paper, which resembled from its size, a web of linen, containing the petition of the inhabitants to the Magistrates, tEat they would elect the Lord Advocate for their representative, and signed by l7,AO0 persons. The Council Chamber being unfit, from its dimensions, to contain numerous auderce, the competition to obtain admission was very great the door, which was not open till l@ o'clock, was besieged by dense mass. and the pressure was very great. large body of police and special constables were called out at an early hour, aud at II o'clock filled the square of the Exchange. The great DOT ton of the auditory present were private friends of both candidates, who were admit porters from the different newspapers. The vote stood for Robert Adam Dundas 17, for Mfr. Jeffrey IA. ..
 Irelnnd.-The elections in Ireland, says the Dublin Mail, are likely to exceed, in their result, the expectations of the most sanguine refarmer-Every where the most strenuous, and apparently successful exerHons are making to secure the return of candid ates favorable to the measure. Dr. Doyle has written a long letter exhorting the C. lectors in favor of the King and his Minis ters. It is said that MT. O'Connell goes in for the borough of Dungarvin; and that Mr. Lamb will start for the county of Waterford.
 Poland.-The following is from an official report of the commander iA chief of the Polish army.
 The enemy, whom our victory obliged to abandon the right bank of the VistuIa, and who concentrated his forces on the Sedlec road, uneasy at seeing his communications with Bialystock by the way of Crane cut off. detached against Gen. Uminski the corps of Gen. Ugrowmow. consisting of the 5th re- @mcnt of infantry, one division of grcnadiers, 0ne battalion of sappers, two regiments of cavalry, and two batteries of artillery, one of large ca!ihra. At sight ofso superior force, Gen. Uminski thought it advisable to recross the Liwiec. leaving only one detachment to defend the hastily constructed bridge head, which the enemy attacked vigorously. Gen. Uminski ordered the 1st Hulans to ford the rlver and attack six of the enemy's squadrOns which were posted on the opposite bank.- This order was successfully executed. Our cavalry repulsed that of the enemy, killed 50 men. made 500 prisoners, and captured goo horses. Observing. however, that ;he enc. my was renewing his attacks on the bridge head with continual supplies of fresh troops, Gen. Uminski gave orders for evacuating the post, and then Major Chtewski and 50 wounded soldiers were made prisoners by the Russians. The engagement terminated by heavy cannOnade, and on this occasion our artillery gave proofs of extraordinary courage, having only f4w field pieces to op- pose to numerous artillery of a large cali. bre. Our loss in these affairs has been 20 of fcers, l6O sab-oficers and men, and 90 wounded. On the 18th of April, Gen. Umin. ski again took Wygrow, where he found 4O of our wounded men, and was enabled to es- tirnate the extent of the enemy's loss. The number of his wounded amounted to 400, mong whom are Lientenant- Colonel Tylle of the sappers, a major and inferior officers. 1n fht field 0f hattlA ~ ara fa,,nd s.va.,l h..
