proceeded to burn the bridge. and seemed disposed to dispute the passage, but at the approach of the COssacks they retired, and did not hinder the Russians crossing and re- storing tho bridge. Many stragglers very quietly suffered themselves to be taken pris- oners on the right bank. The whole army encamped in the evening round the head quar- ters at Blonie. On the 17th, in the afternoon, Count Witt, with 5OsquadrOns, 300 Cossacks, and the five batteries of horse artillery pro- ceeded to reconnOitre towards Warsaw.
 The enemy had sent two hattaliOns Of the Sd regiment of infantry. the Kalish regiment of horse, and two cannon. 10 the village Of Broniczo. The force was commanded by Col. Gallois. The Russians, having sent large detachment in the rear of the Poles, cut of their retreat to Warsaw. Only few Of their cavalry escaped. but not man of the in- fantry returned to Warsaw. Several hun dreds were killed, and Col. Gallois, with five staF and % other officers, and 1922 men, were made prisoners. The two guns were taken. po-day the main body advanced to Nadarzy, the vanguard to Roszyn, seven (En- glish) miles from Warsaw. brigade of
 hussars remain in BlOnie. Gen. Gerstenweig,
 with another brigade of light cavalry, is near
 PiasceZnOw, whence he communicates with
 the corps of Gen, Rudiger, which is advanc-
 ing from Radon. The bridge over which
 this corps passed the Vistula at Josefou will
 be brought to Pulaway, and thus the old line
 of operation to be restored 10 the army. No
 certain information can be given whether
 there are sufficient magazines of provisions
 in Warsaw to hold ont for time without
 fresh supplies. Deserters and fugitives affirm that embarrassment and great dearness alrca- dy are felt. It is certain that the harvest of ia ed to Warsaw, for the fields and barns are not leared.--Prussan State Gazette Ang. .s9.
 Polish Frontiers, Aug. 1o.-The connec- ton which the Russians have in Warsaw en- able them to learn all the intended measures of the Polish General, and to act accordingly. Thus, General Paskewitsch was informed few days ago, that considerable corps ofPo fish troops was to go tO Cracow to organize the I1andstrum. and to take measures for forming fortified camp by way of pre- ecau- ton, in case the Polish army should be oblig- ed to leave the vicinity of Warsaw. To de- feat this plan, corps of 5000 men of Gener- al Rudiger's army immediately received or ders to pass the Upper Vistula, to march to- wards CracUw, and to hinder the Poles from taking firm position in the territory of that republic. In fact, Russian corps under Sen. Thietmann, is on its march to CracOw, where 1t expectstO arrive in a few days. The Commissariat service of the Russian army, which is mostly conducted by Prussian con tractors. is more regular than ever. There is great abundance of bread, wine, meat, vegeta- Dles and brandy, as well as forage, and the appearance ofthe Russian troops is described n all the accounts in the most advantageous erms. In the Polish army, on the contrary, here is the greatest economy, and the sol Hers receive but small rations. The more ] therefore, is their discipline, l
 nce amidst all the hardships of war, they ire satisfied with the little that the nation can give for their subsistence.
