LIVERPOOL, Oct -Poland.--In lying
before our readers last week, the Russian
accounts of the fall Of Warsaw, we caution.
ed them against placing too implicit re.
lance on their veracity in matters Of detail
The present week has brought US, through
the Hamburger mail, intelligence from Poland
as late as the l7th ultimo; and we are happy
to state that the affairs of the unhappy Poles
are not quite so desperate, nor were the sue
cess Of the Russians so complete as they
themselves represented them 10 be. The
army which retired to Modln, on the capitu.
lation Of Warsaw, were not prisoners of war,
as affirmed in the Prussian State Gazette,
but fell back upon that strong and almost
impregnable fortress, carrying with them
their artillery, ammunition and materials Of
defence, upon finding their position in the
capital to be no longer ,enable. They were
also accompanied by the members Of the
Government, the Chambers, and all public
functionaries.
The Russians, on the other hand, are re.
ported to have lost $4,000 men in the storming
of Warsaw, and were thus rendered incapable
Of following the Polish army. The Poles
have another strong army under General
Romarino, in the environs of Zamosk, which
is ITSELF well-fortifed town and they are
also in possession Of several other strong
fortresses. The patriot troops still amount
with oil their losses, to about $4,000, and
as the winter is rapidly approaching for their
protection, their situation is considered by
competent judges as far from being des.
perate. Hopes were even entertained that
they would be enabled 10 coop up the Rus
sian troops in Warsaw, and to interpose a
considerable force between that city and the
old Russian provinces These advantage
though affording but forlorn hope Of final
success, should the war be prosecuted in
another campaign, may yet enable the Poles
to maintain hostile position until they ob
tain honorable terms from the ruthless foe.
