From the Warsaw Gazette of the 18th, it ap-
pears that the Polish Commun der-in- Chef must
have been informed of the encmys intention 10
cross the river ut Giesgawa; it says:-
1.-The Commander-in-C Chief has acquainted the
National Government that tho Russian army is as
scmblIng opposite Niesgawa, and is preparing to
cross the Vistula. He declared at the same time
that it is impossible 10 hinder the enemy from pas
sing the rivor at that point it is TO take
IN tune every Precaution at Warsaw, and that eve
ry inhabitant who is not able to Law in provisions
for weeks must be advised to quit the city. Many
persons, however still pretend that tho mannuvre
OF the Russian army is mere demonstration, and
that tho bold step of Field Marshal Psskewitsch
IN exposing his whole line of communications. and
bringing his main force to the left bank Of the Wis
tula is cover for other plans. Be this rs it nav
the actual position of our army renders such plan
almost impossible. The important position of Mod
n where our General lin Chief still has his head
quarters, enables him quickly to bring his force to
that side of the river where it is most necessary,
and watch all the motions Of the enemy, and act
accordingly. We hear that the division of General
Muhl5srg, and the cavalry of Gen. Turno follow
the enemy closely, as they approach the Prussian
frontiers, and take many prisoners their rapid
march"
LONDON July 27.-Intslligence has been rcceiv-
adj of the coaaplete defeat of the Poles in Lithua-
MA. Cen. Gielgud, having retrssted towords the
Prusslan frontier, applied to the Prussian authori-
ties fer protection. Another corps of Poles came
up with him while thus deIibcrating murngrs arose
among his troops, when he dashed across and shot
Gleigud surrounded by his whole staff. The corps
OF Poles which came up with him at Schonston,
shortly after, was under General Ruhan, and by
one OF the officers Giclgud was shot. Gen. Rub.
Ian began his retreat Immediately along the frontier
pursued by six thousand Russians; and it s stated
that he had been captured with the whole of his
troops, and had arrived about three miles from Me-
mel. lilo had about 4 900 troops. Cen Gielrud's
3,OsO foot and $50 horse, had been placed under
qaarahtihe.-Ihe surrender was act Of base
treachery.
LONDON, July give received last night the
Paris papers OF Tuesday and Wednesday, They
speak ofan intense anxiety being felt in that CAPT
tai with respect to the poor Poles, for whose fate
the omlnous accounts last received from the seat
of war left only the very worst to be apprehended
we rejoice to say, however, that intelligence moro
recent than that of these papers has reached u.s. in
which 1t is stated that the affIirs of the patriots
are not so desperate they appeared day or two
ago, but that on the contrary, that good fortune
which has hitherto bcfrendcd them, in an almost
miraculous manner, still continues to reside with
and to procure for them fresh successes We nrs
