.AboEticn of Quarantine in Russia. -
The Russian Government has done away
with all quarantine. The reason assign
ed for this, is, that the whole empire be-
ing infected, nothing remains to be gain
ed by the restrictions, which were in 9TH
or respects inconvenient and imperfectly
fulfilled.
POLAND.
Berlin, .aug. lO-According 70 letters
from Warsaw of the 3lst ul,.' the Poles
laughed outright at the idea of being
starved into submission by so inadequate
a force as that of the Russians. They
had provisions enough TO stand siege
of four months, and the town was too well
fortified on every side to allow of any
fear that the enemy will take it by storm.
There was regular army Of 40, 900 inen
within the city, and great number of
undisciplined troops, who were in the
course Of training; the whole OF whom, as
well as the other inhabitants, were ami
mated with the best spirits, and resolved
to figh. till the last. OF late the move-
mcnts Of the Russians have betrayed
much indecision. This is by some at

and even taken as proof that it has be-

Certain it is that their original intsn-
ton was to occupy the whole part Of the
Duchy, which is surrounded by the Vis-
tula and the Prussian frontier, and TO es-
tablish a provisional Goverrmrn at Kel-
isch. But they are still Mt 100 miles dis
tance from Warsaw, and they have not
yet occupied Kalish. Mos. Of the pub
lie roads, however, are infested with par
ties Of Ccssacks, who extended their ex
cursion many miles beyond the line Of
the main army, and stop, harass or plum
der all who have the misfortune to fall
within their reach. They have brought
the cholera morbus whatever there has
been any kind Of communication with
them; but destruction invariably attends
their progress without thinning their own
ranks.
