London, Sent. 6. The accounts from
Warsaw are full Of deep and melancholy
interest. Two orders of the day were
brought, signed respectively hy General
Schrzyncck and Demhinski, the former on
resigning, the latter on assuming the com
mand of the patriot army o: Poland.
Schrzynecki's address 10 the troops is I'M
bued in every line of it with spirit of
generous and selt-forgetting devotion to his
ceuntry's service, at the same time that 1t
requires from the soldiers in terms of af
fectionate solicitudc, that they will follow
the example he himself proposes, while
fighting in the ranks, to set them Of i'm
plicit obedience 10 the authority of their
new commander, and Of unconquerable zeal
and courage in the cause Of liberty.
1t appears now, also, that the reported ex-
cesses at Warsaw were not exaggerated
and that they were oocasioned as was the
removal Of Skrzynecki, as had been con-
jectured, by the proposal of That officer to
make some pacific arrangement with the
Russians. 1t appears from the following
details that the war Isl to all intents and
purposes, concluded
The Russians had advanced within five
miles of Warsaw, when the Polish army
ventured, on the 6th, to leave the city in
order TO give battle. Before all the troops
had taken their position, smart action of
cavalry took place, in which the whole Of
the Polish cavalry was defeated and broken,
and driven towards the city, when popu-
lar tumult ensued-furous bands Of rioters
traversed the streets-Generals Jankowski
and Bukowski (who had been acquitted of
the charge of conspiracy brought against
theml were dragged from their houses and
hanged, and it is said that about fifty per-
sons lost their lives. The government
found itself compelled 10 deprive General
Denbnski of the chief command, which he
was, however, obliged TO assume again, con-
trary to his inclination, few hours after
wards.
Warsaw is now invested on all sides with
in the distance of24 English miles, and the
news of its capitulation is expected.

LATEST FROM PORTUGAL. Brig Bragan-
"a, from st. Ubes, arrived at this port yes
l. terday. Capt. Green informs that it was re-
ported at st. Ubes, that the Portugu ese
fleet captured by the French squadron, had
been given up by them to Don Pedro, Ex-
Emperor of Brazil, and that he was at Brest,
France, reftting the ships, when it was
supposed an attempt would be made TO put
down Don Miguel, and revolutionize the
country, for which the people were ready,
and it was supposed at ST. Ubes, that the
day was not far distant. The people were
reduced 10 such state OF distress and vas
salage, that any change of Government
could not he for the worse. Capt Green
states that it was seldom that decent
looking man was to be seen in the street.
AS every one having the appearance of u
gentleman was arrested by the minions of
Don Miguel and imprisoned.
