THREE DAYS LATER-REPORTED Pc
LISH VICTORY.

London Sun Of the evening OF June Sd. The
only article from this paper furnished by our Bos-
ton correspondent is the following, which affords
us some ground to hope that the gallant Poles
have been winning another harvest of l%aurels, in
their unequal struggle with the Russians
From the London Sun of June 8.
We have'yet nothing absolutely to authenticate
the rumor mentioned Yesterday, of another sig
nal victory Of the Poles, over the Russians. No
doubt, however, exists, of great and important
advantages having been obtained by the former;
and we have just been informed from a most re-
spectable. source, that the Polish Legation is in
possession of the particulars of this fresh victory.
Our informant, however states that the obstinate
and sangpinary conflict, which lasted two days,
neth' and Goth, May took place with the Russian
Imperial Guard commanded by Gen. Pahlen,
which were almost ianmhtated.
Since the foregoing was in type, the Boston
Evening Transcript of Saturday has come TO
hand. Its foreign intelligence is of the highest
Importance. as will be seen by the following ex-
tracts. If these details are true to the extent re-
ported, the Russian Commander must have been
in a very disasreeable prcdicament, at the date
Of these advices:
CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE POLES.
The Lolrdon Star of the evening of the Sd
June says-"The brave Polish Commander has
om6.ets7y TG t:iiaMort~red- the Russians; while a
Polish corps was amusing them at Minsk, Skryz-
uecN united all the corps on his left, crossed
the Bug, and taking Ostrolenka by assault, has
proceeded to Ihnha;r defeated the Russian
Guards at Tychosln, and in fact occupied the
whole country between the Bug and Narew."
Accounts from Warsaw Of the Goth, left Die
bnseh at Zecolow, apparently In route tor Us
trjlenka or for Bielsk or Bialistock, with no re-
source but to throw himself on the protection
of Prussia, as Dwernicki threw himself on the
protection Of the, Ahstrians. He has however to
cross ihe Bug and Narew, with Polish corps Oh
every side Of him.
;By. this masterly movement, the Polish Gene
raj has placed himself in contact with the Samo-
gTians, Lihuanians. and other revolted districts,
by.whose population his army will be indefinite
II augmented, so as to leave Diebitsch no pros
pect Of escape, but within the Prussian frontiers.
The foreign journals assert, he will endeaVor TO
reach Tho, ne. in Prussia; but we expect he will
seek TO cross the Rossoka, and avail himself Of
the shelter Of its vast forests.
The march of Skrzgnecki. is without a paral-
lei in modern warfare. From Warsaw to Ostro-
lenka, was a flank march of full eighty miles;
thence to LomZa another so; and to Ty chOsin 90
,nOre-the last so being in the rear OF the Rus
sian grand army. The Poles seem to have gain
"a advantages in a repulse OF the Russians at
Minsk and this with the new position OF Skrzy-
necki, no doubt forced Diebitsch to retreat to
Iocolow, near the lower Bug.
The ranks of the Warsovians have also been
recruited by volunteers from Prussia and Aus
TRAN Poland; and the whole campaign resembles
a war of chiyalry, ia which the enlightened en-
~terprize of Europe is directed, Individually,
against the further Entertainments of the barba-
rous Muscoyites, Tartars and Siberians.
We have just learnt tsays the London Globe,
under date JIne 9, 5 o'clock, P. N.Y. that a re-
port is general in the city of a Russian defeat by
the Poles, and that the Imperial Guards had been
cut TO pieces. 1t is said to rest on letters from
Berlin. II is certainly very prevalent.
:. The Morning Star Of the Sd says, that the
above report probably alludes to the overthrow OF
the Guards at TychOsin, who were taken BY sur
prise.
A private letter from Warsaw, dated 18th,
saws. Since, last Thursday the two armies are IN
full movement. Gen. Diebitsch has made a ma
ueuvre with the principal part OF his army, IN
the direction of the Bug and Narew, with a mani.
fest intention to get into the wawodle OF Flock,
TO gain the Prussian frontiers. The motive oil
this change of position is not difficult to be under
stood, as the Russian General finds it difficult to
receive his conveys from Russian Poland, and he
now wants to gain the Prussian frontiers, to be In
communication with Thorne, where he has a con,
siderable magazine Of provisions and ammunition
waiting for his approach.
Gen. Skrzyneckihas also made a flank movement
ION Friday morning his he'll quarters were at
-Niilosna, and in the afternoon at Jablonna, aud on
Saturday at Sierock; his main army was in the
direction Of Pultusk: three hundred Polish Off
GERS have received orders to proceed to Lithua-
mia, to organize the lnsurrection there. We
have this moment a report. that in the environs
of Ostrolenka the Imperial Russian Guard have
sxperienced a new check. Gen. Uminski COM
mands in that quarter.
The Messenger de PolOgne, a Warsaw paper,
of the 2lst May, announces that Gen. Skrzy-
necki had taken Ostrplenka on the 18th, where
