POLAND-,The following important letter from
kon>berg dated the 18th March, is published in the
London papers of the csd.
at now appears that the Russians have met With
more obstinate resistance from the Poles than they
eXpectcd and, according TO our information, il APP
pears that II is the wish of the Emperor of Russia
to save Warsaw from destruction. The information
we have just received states that arrnistcc has
been concluded between the Poles ard the Russians
and we are nnxlously waitirg the result "
The same information ia contained IN the Gazette
&c france. OF The slst and IS thus:-"lt is stated
that Marshal Diebtsch has received orders from he
Emperor Nicholas not 10 proceed TO the almost cx-
tremity with respect 10 the capital Of Poland

FRoNTrERs OF POLAND, March The main body
of the army has returned to the left bank of the Wis.,
tula and Is encamped near the village Of poroonck,
half league from the city. II Is affirmed that the
change IN the command of the army was owing to
the opinion expressed by Prince Radzvlll and Cen
erai Wisscnhof the head Of the Moderate party that
enough had been done for the military honor of
the Poles, and that, considering the possb;l,ty of
resisting the Russian powers the wisest course would
be tn enter into negotiations. The present Com
mandcr-in-chief was of different opinion aad the
Poles, considering the repldty with which he had
fought at Dobrc. proclaimed him Gencralissimo.
Radzivil!, General Wiesenhof, and three other gen
erals, laid down their commands and were suspended
from their functions Tho Polish Government has
given orders 10 form magazines on the road to Silc-
sia, which indicates that the army will retreat in that
direction. The weather is very bad. The Nistula
he's risen to an extraordinary height and the roads
are lmpassable except the causcwoys. Hence il is
prooab!e that the military operations Of both parties
will experience delay for time to come
From the Messenger des Chambres ofMundayl
PARIS, March e0.-Since the last battle in front
OF Praga, and which gave rise to the false report of
the surrender of Warsaw, the Poles have experen-
ced no decided ioss On The contrary, they ly

The heroic resistance of this brave neonle INNS,
have Diminished the moral courage of the Russians
and thwartcd the plans Of Marshal Diebitsch Onr
opinion IS confirmed by the most recent accounts
from Poland
Gen Dwernecki is in pursuit OF the Russians who

We must, however, wait for fresh confirmation
of tins statement before form too favorable an
opinion as to the result, of the struggle now min
I aimed by the brave Polish nation
