Berlin. We shall wait unxiously for the
next arrivals.
Up to the 26th ult which is the date
Of the last Warsaw papers which we
have seen, the Poles had been every
where successful, and had driven their
enemies across the Bug and the Narew.
The able Polish Commander-in-chiei,
Skrzyneckl, had conceived and execu-
ted skilfnl man1uvre, by which he
had cut off the right wing of the Rus
sian army from the main body, and COM
PEELED the Imperial Guards to retreat
from Ostrolenka to Lomza, and then to
Bialystock. His object, ut first, seems
to have been to occupy those points and
to cut off the retreat of the corps Of
Sacken, but in this he failed. He is
said, however, to have taken 5000
prisoners. In the meantime he had left
corps to watch the road between Praga
and Siedlec, which latter place was the
headquarters of Marcschal Diebtsch.
Had Skrynecki succeeded in separating
the guards and the right wing from the
main Russian Army, he might have sent
a corps into Lithuania to extend the in
surrection and have threatened the rear
of Diebtsch, who would not have found
it safe to advance upon Warsaw with
the force under his immediate command.
Since the above was written, we have
received letters and papers from Ham
burgh, to the 4th inst. containing the
following intelligence
HAMBURGH, June 3. The Prussian
State Gazette of the I'd inst. contains
the folowing:-
From the Polish Frontier, May 50.
Accounts from the theatre of war
state, that the Polish Commander-in-
chief was attacked by Mareschal Die
bitsch on the 26th inst. at Ostrolenka,
when a sanguinary battle ensued, in
which the Russian army was victorious
Ostrolenka was taken by storm by the
Russians with astounding bravery
The division of the Polish Gen. Gielgud, :,
which was stationed at Lomaz, has
been cut off by the movements and sue
ccsses of the Russian army. The Poles
acknowledge their own loss in killed
and wounded to amount to 1000. The
headquarters ofthe Polish Commander
in-Chief were on the 9th at Putusk.
"WUsar, May %, (;n the Erening.)
"In the battle of Ostrolenka on the
Goth, both armies fought with an in
veteracy unexampled. The result is
that General Skrzynccki has to-day
again fixed his head quarters at Praga.
Among the killed on the side of the
Poles, are General Kicki and Kaminski,
and Lieutenant Colonel Gajewski.- -
10000 men on one side or the other are
said to have remained OH the field of
battle. Quarter was out of the question;
the chief work was performed by the
bayonet. The Russian Guards were in
action, and displayed great bravery.
"The Prussian State Gazette of the
ed of June has the following:--
"Varsaw, May 26.--"A relation of
the most recent operations, published to-
day, says-'The chief object of the
movement of our army towards Tykocin
and Lomza was to enable corps under
the command of General Chlap powski to
reach Lithuania, in order to afford assis-
tance to the insurgents in that province.
This point having been attained, as the
Commandcr-in- Chief found 1t impossi
BILE to induce the Russian Guards to give
battle, and as the junction of Marshal
Diebitsch with the Guards would give
a combined force far superior to his own,
he determined to return, to his former
position, while Gen. Gielgud, who it was
intended should enter the northern part
of Lithuania, began his march upon
Lomza. Marshal Diebitsch in the
meantime having effected his junction
with the Guards, determined to cut our
army off from Warsaw The gallant re-
sistance Of the Cd corps under Gen. Lu-
biensk, which forced its way at the point
of the bayonet through force thrice its
own strength, enabled Gen. SkrZynecki
to pursue his march. On the 25th the
Guards attacked Gen. Lubienski, whose
corps formed our rear, at the same time
that Debitsch was advancing in the di-
rcction of Czyzcw. Our army was al
ready on the right bank of the Narew;
and the rear only remained on the oppo-
site bank. On the Goth the attack was
renewed, commanded bv Marshal Die
bitsch in person. The Polish General
drew near to Ostrolenka, and the enc
my's march was arrested by the fire
which the howitzers had kindlcd in the
town. Gen. Lubicnsk crossed the Mar
CIV, and burnt the bridge but not so eff
fectually as to prevent 1t being quickly
restored. Accordingly, Gen. Schako-
skoi, supported by tremendous artille-
ry, succeeded in crossing the river "A
