saw itself. and Of which VIOLA is perfect for
tress. The task. however, was not ended with
this; there remained second line OF intrench'
ments, and a broad moat round the city, defend
ed by bastians.
AT four O'Clock on the morning OF the tn the
Field Marshal was preparing to overcome these
last obstacles, when General Krokowicki sent
General Proodzynski to him to announce theinten-
ton Of the Polish nation to submit to its esili-
mate King. These sentiments were, however,
not confirmed BY that Chief Of the Government,
who soon after came in person to the Marshal.
He affirmed that the consent OF the Diet was ne
cessary for such submission. After the most ur-
gent exhortations & representations TT the inull-
ty of further defence, and the disasters which it
would inevitably bring with it. the General with
drew at ten O'Clock in the forenoon. Hereupon,
three hours more were granted to General kro-
kowieckl, within which time he was to announce
to the Marshal his final resolution. AS this was
not given by one o'clock, the Marshal sent word
that he should give orders to attack. Half an
hour more was requested for consideration, but
this also elapsiDg without satisfactory answer

tack. 1t was terrible, AID very successful; flags
of truce were sent, but they brought only datory
answers. The attack was. therefore, begun upon
the second line of intrenchments, which was car.
ried at the point of the bayoRet. The enemy,
WIN in the meantime received reinforcements,
vigorously defended the gardens and the edges
of the ditcees towards the Jerusalem barrier, and
even made our troops give way for moment;
but the ardour of the latter revived; they quickly
scaled the walls OF the city, which presented a
most formidable line of defence. The prodigies
of valor which had already distinguished the two
days were renewed, and at nine o'clock in the
evening the intrenchments, the gardens, bitches,
walls--every thing, in short. was in the hands of
onr brave troops. Meantime night had set in,
and the army required repose.
"The lines of intrenchments carried by storm,
5000 prisoners and nearly 400 pieces of cannon,
we're the trophies of these two memorable days.
"Nothing could now save the city and the enc
my's asmv. Both, therefore, implored the elem.
ency Of the Emperor, and this circumstance made
it the Marshal's duty to restrain the vengeance,
of the soldiers, which was excited to the utmost
by such an obstinate resistance. To-day our
troops are in w arsaw. The Polish army and the
nation have submitted to their Monarch; the for.
mer. in conformity with the Emperors manifesto,
is gone to Plozk, there to await his orders In
some days we shall be able to give more detail
ed account of these important events. The glo-
rious successes which we have obtained has been
purchased BY severe losses. The Field Marshal
has received a contu sion on the left arm and the
breast. Krokowiecki has resigned his power
"General Malacowski has announced to the
Field Marshal in two letters signed by his own
hand, that he leads the army to PIozk with the
intention of waiting there for Me commands of
his Imperial Majesty. We must hope that the Po
lish army will persevere in these good sentiments,
and disregard the perfdious insinuations which
may, perhaps, have been addressed to it.;
