intelligence from Poland, and, we re-
joice to say, of the most cheering kind
The Russian mmandcr-in-chief, who
some months ago in the plenitude of
presumption, pledgeo himsel to his mas
ter, that, by certain day, he would
display the Russian eagle in Warsaw,
has again been foiled, his plans again
dcranged, and, with the bulk Of his
troops, he has been obliged to fall back,
in discontinue ard disgrace, before the
army of the patriots. This is the fourth
time that this doughty conquerer, whose
high pretentions have now become a
laughing stock even to his own thick
headed followers, has seen his claims to
immorta lity vaeish.
The Warsaw Courier says, Gan the
accounts received in Warsaw agree that
the Russian army is retreating at all
points. Count Fiedro, one of our Off
GERS, is said to have fallen in an action
with the Cossa cks."
Diebtsch is retreating with his whole
army to the Bug, over which river he
has thrown bridges Hamburg papers,

Extract of a letter dated Warsaw, May 2.
We have had the Polish army at Mi
losna again, 12 miles distant from War
saw. The following is a dispatch from
General Skrzynecki:-
General Diebitsch had concentrated
all his forces, and in person, at the head
Of his advanced guard, attacked on the
25th our rear guard near Kuhew. Col
onel Dembinski commanded the Polish
troops in a battle Of several hours, a
gainst the enemy's overwhelming force,
who had 10 pieces of cannon whilst the
Poles had only a pieces. The Russian
field marshal endeavored to surround the
Polish right wing with his main army
According to the plan formed bp Skrzy-
necki in the commencement Of the cam
pain, he did not intend giving battle to
the overwhelming force of the Russians
in that part of the country, which, it ap-
pears, is not advantageous; consequent
ly he gave orders to the troops to retire at
to Kostrzya, a retreat which was effect
cd. Gen. Gulgud and part of Gen.
Skrzynecki's corps formed a reserve
guard at Minsk, which was at
tackled the following morning at II o.
clock. The enemy presented a great
mass of infantry and cavalry, as well as
a numerous artillery, but all his attacks
were rcpulsed, after battle of several
hours, when did all honor to Gen. Gul-
gud, who afterwards retired to his for
mer position. can assure the National
government that the enemy has not made
one prisoner, unless it is the sick of the
cholera, which were left in the forests.
Yesterday Gen. Uminski, in marching
from Okuniew to Stanislawow, at the
head of two squadrons of Lubln caval-
ry (quite new troops) met Gen. Nassa-
kin's cavalry brigade: the squadrons at
tackled them bravely, and dispersed them
The enemy lost upwards of 80 men and
officer killed, and captain with 72
men and horses were made prisoners
We had 8 officers and 5 soldiers woun.
ded, but not one killed. The dctach-
ments sent into the forests continually
bring in prisoners of the dispersed brig.

/ You may depend upon this information
as Skrzynecki never exaggerates, bu
keeps all plans secret. 1t is said that he
made feigned retreat, and wished tc
bring the Russians to Warsaw again
heing good position for a battle: bu
Diebitsch thought it better not to follow
him, and has now ietreated faster thar
he advanced. 1t is believed that he
wishes to get over the Bug again; but i
he does, the Poles will attend him: the !,
are now following him up.
