LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.


 len we have received London papers to June 9tt and Liverpool to the 9th, both inclusive. The new from Poland is painfully interesting. great batth has been fought, but without any decisive result- The Russians most probably had the advantage. From the Dublin Evening POst Famine in the county of MayO.-There no few CT than 150 900 men, woman and children, in stat of actual starvation in the county of Mayo. Thl, we beg leave to say, is exaggerated statement < census has heen taken of the parishes and towi- lands by competent and trustworthy persons, wb can depose oath, if necessary, to the accuracy f the returns. We have seen the frightful list in tie hands of gentleman of the deputation now in Dut lin, Sir Francis Bosse There is therefore no exal- geraton. Famine in the horrible and strict sense f the term, is devouring part of one county alons population of 150,O00 human creatures FRANCE.-The elections engage all minds Casmr Perler has addressed letter to the perlecs of communes, giving directions for the formation f the electoral lists.

 From the Journal du Commerce ofJune 4th.
 "We have just seen letter from St Gall of tie 26th of May, from which we take the following e. tract :-" You will be as much surprised aR, to hear that whilst Switzerland is dsarming, all tie villages on the extreme frontier have received Ais trlan garisons, and yet at no time during petce have they been known to be occupied by single soldier If it be considered that there is no passage
 
 ment of Austrian troops may be a of reflection for our Statesmen well as those of France.
 Paris, June 5.-The Gazette of Thurgova poi- lively confirms the news which we have given of the approach of the Austrian troops to the frontiers of Switzerland: the tenth part of these troops have arrived with carbnes This news, adds the paper above quoted, deserves all the attention of the Fede ral Authorities.
 A letter from Comar, of June, contains the follcw- ing partculars:-"All the roads in the Austrian States crowded with troops An army of 60 or 90,O00 men is forming the frontiers of Bavaria, and Lindau is full of soldiers. The Emperor has summoned to arms the population of that part of Hungary which adjoins Turkey"
 HARD FIGHTING IN POLAND.-Wednes- day May 24.-The State Gazette contains des. patches from General Skrzynecki, dated Dlugie- siodlo, May Y, giving account of several advan tages obtained over the Russians. The same paper contains variety of other articles, which, though not invested with an official character, are known to be substantially correct. According to the statement, the Russian army is retreating in every direction be- fore our gallant troops, and in few days we look forward to hear that not Russian soldier remains within the kingdom. Osroenka, Lorwza, Nur, Ciechemowiec, and Stawisk are known to have already been freed from the presence of the enemy. Debitsch has crossed the Bug at Granna, and the guards are retreatng towards Bialystock Baggage, arms, and stores of every kind to an immense a.
 
 bles, have fallen into our hands One of papers contains to-day in postscript, the intelligence that Iykocln was taken by storm by our troops, on the evening of the 2lst after an obstinate battle, in which Colonel Langerman distinguished himself.- The cholera is losing much of its violence. On the 2lst nstant the number of patients 107, of whom five died: on the 22d, the number was 106 of whom died.
 May 26.-An official account of General Skrzy- necki's operations down to the taking of Tykocin, has been published. On the evening of the 21st, our troops entered the latter place at the point the bayonet, and dispersed the grenadiers of the Rus sian guard, who attempted to defend dyke which passed behind the city through the marshes of the Narew. On the same day our troops encountered be- tween Ciechanowiec and Suraz, several detachments of Marshal Debitsch's corps, which were endeavor- ing to form junction with the guards at Balystock. A Russian corps, of ,0O0 men, under Sacken, has been cut off, and is now retreatng into the palati- nates0f Augustown closely pursued by General Si- etahowshi. FIvIn the Paiutinutc of Podlachia the Russians are rapidly retreating. On the 23d, Gen. Uminski occupied Siedlec, and part of his cavalry in pursuing the enemy upon the road to Miend- zyrzecz. Immediately after Diebitsch had crossed the Bug, he turned his whole force against General Luhlnski's corps which consisted only of few thousand men, and having succeeded in surrounding our brave countrymen, he summoned them to sur render
 He immediately threw himself on the column nearest to him, which he completely routed and suc- ceeded in re-estabishing his communication with the main army. The particulars of this affair is not given in Gen. Skrzyneckls report. In the palat- nate of Lublin Gen. Rudiger has retreated behind the Bug, either with view to maintain his commu- nications with Diebtsch, or in consequence of his rear being threatened by the insurgents. On the subject of the nsurrecton in Volhynia Po1olia and Ukraine, numerous reports in circulation, but the Government are cautious of publishing such facts | fI,nn .f tl, vduals might be compromised by their indiscretion General Dwerncki is no longer in Gallicia. The Ausrians have sent him to Presburg, and his officers are all to be placed in confinement at Olmutz. Our light cavalry has advanced some wersts beyond Ty kocin; but no account has been received of the oc cupaton of Bialystock by our troops.
 LOndOn, June I've regret to state that letters from Berlin of the 31st ult communicate prevalent report in that capitol, that the Poles had sustained great reverse on the line of the Narew. A great battle is said to have been fought at Ostrolenka, which the Poles had at first wresed from the Rus sians. The engagement, according to this account, lasted for two days (the 18th and 29h ut) when the Polish army was driven back, but at a tremendous loss on the side of their enemies. The Russians are reported to have had 15,00O killed during the two days. Diebitsch is said to have obtained his success by pushing forward body of his troops, and dividing the Polish army corps of which was forced towards Augustewn. The rest of the Polish army had retired toward Praga No official accounts of this battle have yet been received, and we still hope that the report may be incorrect but it deserves to be mentioned it had obtained general currency and belief at Berlin. We shall wait anxously for the next arrivals.
