"Scarcey had we begun to hear the cannon upon our
lett wing at Baolanka than the firing with
the greatest brskness at Grochow and at Kavenkzyn.
The Russians had battery of at least one hundred aud
fifty cannon. We have lost nearly 5000 men, great

The Courier of WdrsaU of the s5th contains the
following
YESTERDAY the struggle commenced. The battle
continued from the morning OF Zegaz where the enc
my had drawn out great superiority of forces-The
Poles burnt the bridges OF the Bum furious contest
was continued until O'Clock in the evening. The fire
oil the cannon was seen from Warsaw"
In the Journal Of the Goth we read:-"Ths bat
tie was renewed yesterday the whole line. The
hiring commenced upon our left wing between Tercho-
men and Bialolnka Our cavalry was commanded by
Gen. Uminski. The victory remained with us on that
side. We have slain great number of the enemy,
and taken several cannon. At eleven o'clock the enemy
was retiring, and the firing had ceased but new battle
had begun at ten o'clock upon right wing The can
non roared furously. The hostile army had drawn out
an immense force and the contest murderous The
cythes made havoc in the ranks of the enemy AT three
o'clock the battle still ragged with fury Gen. Chopck
was carried wounded into the city,"
In the Journal Of Wdrsatc, dated the 9th, we find
the ioowing:-"The whole of yesterday passed away
in toerable tranquility The General-in- Chief has
hought unnecessary to cause part of the army to
cross the Vstula. No troops were left at Praga
IMAM were necessary for its defence But the enemy
made no threatnng movement only some discharges of
cannon were heard at long intervals We the houses
oil unhappy people blazing, which troops had
been obliged to set on fire, in order to clear the APP
proaches. Gen. Chlopicki will be sufficiently recc
cred to leave the city in few days."
The same Journal, of the 2Sth, contains the follow
ng:-Ihe whole OF yesterday again passed in tran.
quh'y No movement was remarked in the army of the
enemy. The Cossacks alone were approaching Praga
by the high road of SAKE, but they were driven OIL by
cannon shots appears that the attack of the enemy
upon Baloenka, the day of the 25h was only false
demonstrations and that the true assault was directed A.
gainst Grochow Ii is strange that the moment when
our soldiers were fighting SO bravely at Grochow, an
alarm should suddenly he spread through Warsaw, and
it should be believed here that Praga in the pow
OF the enemy For the rest the alarm was of short du-
ration"
General Dwerncki writes on the 9th Of February:
