HARD FIGHTING IN POLAND.
WARSAW, May "a. The State Ga
zettc contains dispatches from General
Skrzyhecki, dated DIugiesiodio, May
II, giving an account of several advan-
tagcs obtained over the Russians. The
same paper contains a variety of other
articles, which, though not invested with
an official character, are known to be
substantially correct. According to
these statements, the Russian army is
retreating IN every direction before our
gallant troops, and in few days VIC
look forward to hear that not one Russian
soldier remains within the kingC om.--
Ostrolenka, Lorwza, Nur, Ciechemo-
wcc and Stawiski, are known to have
already been freed from the presence
of the enemy. Dicbitsch has crossed
the Bug at Granna, and the guards arc
retreatire towards Bialystock. Bag

May 26. An official account of Gen.
Skrzynecki's operations, down to the
taking of ofTykocin, has been published.
On the evening of the 2lst, our troops
entered the latter place at the point Of
the bayonet, and dispersed the grena-
dicrs of the Russian Guard, who at
tempted to defend dyke which passed
behind the city through the marshes Of
the Narcw. On the same day our
troops encountered, between Ciechano.

Mareschal Diebitsch's corps, which
were endeavOring to form junction
with the guards at Bialystock. "A Rus
sian corps of 1000 men, under Sacken,
has been cut off, and is new retrcating
into the palatinate of Augustowo, closely
pursued by Gen. Sierdkowshi. From
the palatinatc of Podlachia the Russians
are rapidly retreating. On the 23d,
Gen. Uminski occupied Sicdlec, and
part of his cavalry in pursuing the
enemy upon the road of Miendzyrzccz.
Immediately after Diebitsch had crossed
the Bug, he turned his whole force n

our brave countrymen, he summoned
them to sure nder.

column nearest to him, which he COM
pletely routed, and succeeded in re-es-
tablshing his communication with the
main army. The particulars Of this af-
fair are not given IN Gen. Skrzynecki's
report. In the palatinate of Lublin,
Gen. Rudger has retreated behind the
Bug, either with view to maintain his
communication with Diebitsch, or in
consequence of his rear being threaten

subject of the insurrcction in Volhynia,
Pedolia, and the Ukraine, numerous
reports are in circulation, but the Gov

facts as they are in possession OF, lest
the safety of individuals might be COM
