the details Ofthis last advance Of the Russians
upon Warsaw, and the retreat Ut the Poles
beyond them, we have the accounts OF both
sides, and they differ hut little from! each |
other. As soon as the first movement from
SiedIec. which was Diebitsch's headquarters
for some time, denoted an intention on the
part of The enemy 10 advance, SkrZynecki
despatched couriers to Warsaw to prepare
them for retreat Of the army, and to desire
tina: the place might be pct 10 a condition to
sustain siege, in case the fortune Of war
should be against the cause 10 general en-
gagement. Nothing could exceed the enthu-
sIasnl with which the news was received
The citizens renewed their assurances of de-
votI0n to their country; and we are told that,
IN an incredibly short space of time, a new
tete dU pont was constructed at Praga, and a
second wal! Of protection was thrown up by
$4,000 men, which was sufficient to shelter
the whole Ofthe patriot army. The most in
huential senators and citizens went out 10 join
the camp, and every one had recOnciled HIM
self to the worst The retreat, in the mean
time, continued, the Poles every where car
rying with them the inhabitants Of the coun
try, and every descript Of provision which
could serve as subsistence to the enemy. Up
on the 9th Skrzynecki had reached the cap
ital, and fixed his head quarters there; the
bulk of his army was at MlIosna. dozen
miles distant. In their retreat they appear TO
have been greatly harasscd by the Russians,
and at Minsk an action Of some consequence
took place, in which the Russians say the
Poles lost a considerable number Of men : but
this is denied by the accounts upon the other
side. Arrived at Dembo- Welki, the Russians
found that they could not procure '' even a
little straw for their horses" and the Field
Marshal had, therefore, no alternative, but a
gain to sUund a retreat, in which he has been
pursued by the Poles; and the last account
from him is from Mordy, which is beyond
S'cd!ec, the point from which he set out
On the 29th of April the whole Polish army
had again advanced, and resumed its former
positions at Kostrayn, and beyond Siennica.
On the 3oth the Polish army advanced, and
the vanguard was 10 the morning al Kal,lszyn.
The effect of this retrograde movement must
he highly favorable to the patriot cause, for,
besides its influence upon the still wavering
provinces of Russian Poland. it proves that
the subsistence Of the Russian army is en-
! tlrely dependant upon their supplies in the
rear, and these may be intercepted by the in
surgents. ....
! The only drawback 10 this cxhiliratng
news is the statement (of which the accuracy
IS no longer questionable) Of cholera morbus
prevailing among the Polish troops. 1t is
said, however, to be abating of its yirulence
and mortality.
Wdrsa,O, May 1.-After several maneuvcrs,
| Marshal DiebilsCh has failed in provoking the
Poles to fight general battle. His army, at
ter suffering all sorts of privatons, began to
mutiny, and envies the fate IF all those who
have fallen into our hands The retrogade
movement of Dichilsch is the consequence of
| the Development 0f the insurrection in Ii
tijuana. All the details which we L, et:ye
from that province make us suppose that the
plan of Skrzynecki will be carried speedily
INTO complete execution. Several Mobiles
nave placed themselves at the head of the in
surrectlon. Prince Gabriel Oginski com
mands the new lcvies on the right bank ofthe
Niemen, and his nephew, Prince Thaddeus
Osinski, is collecting all the .lisposabIe for

will annhilate this guard. The Grand Duke
Constantine is with the guard. Gen. Umin-
SKI has requested that the Fourth Regiment
OF the line. the favorite Of Constantine, might
be sent to him, in order to prove 10 the Grand
Duke that it merits his praise. The Russian
Generals reproach Nicholas with having Civ
en- the command of his armies to the Ger
mans, and 10 repair his fault, the Emperor
wishes. in spite of himself, to see only Rus
slams at the head Of his army, and Count Pc
ter Iolstoi has been appointed in consequence
To the supreme command. A camp Of re-
serve is TO be formed at Witepsk, to suaran-
tee the ancient possessions of Russia from in

retire, not stop at the Dwina and the Dnieper.
The Cabinet Of St. Petersburgh which excl
