Hamburgh, March 8. The Warsaw journals of
the 4th give official accounts of the battles Of the
24th and 25th February, in which the loss of the
Poles in killed and wounded is estimated at be-
tween 1000 and 900, occasioned by the great su-
perlonty OF the Russian artillery, amounting to $50
cannon. The loss of the Russians, who had four
regiments of guards in the battle, is stated at
$4,000.
The head quarters of the Polish army on the
Sth March, were about two miles from War
saw. There were 10000 killed and wounded
in that city. Provisions were scarce and high,
but as the Russians had been driven from the
lett bank of the Vistula, the communication
would be restored, and the supplies be increas-
ed. The Government, Senate, and Chambers
had issued proclamation declaring their de-
termination to abandon Warsaw, should it be
necessary; and magazines were to be estab-
lshed towards Posen, in the direction of Prus.
STA Several of tho most eminent Polish chiefs
after the defeat of the 25th Feb, suggested the
prudence of negotiations, considering it impos-
slble to struggle against the force of Russia.
Their proposition was rejected, their resigna-
tions were accepted, and other officers imme-
diatcly appointed

Marshal Diebtsch, notwithstanding his traing
disasters, is concentrating an immense force
; round Praga and Warsaw, ana preparing to
cross the VlstNla. A London paper contains
the following gIaph-purporting to be an
extract from letter from Konigiberg, of the
llth March.
j" 1t now appears that the Russians have met
with more obstinate resistance from the Poles
than they expected; and, according 10 our in
formation, it appears that it is the wish of the
Emperor of Russia to save Warsaw rom de-
structlon. The information we have Just re-
( celved states, that an armistice has been con-
