The russians are said to have lost y 900
men in the capture of Warsaw. the ar
my OF the Poles is estimated at so, coo;
the winter is approaching, and hostile
population intervenes between Warsaw
anc the Russian provinces. These ad-
vantages may enable the Poles to pro-
long the war to another campaign, or to
procure favorable and honorable condi-
lions from the Russian Emperor.

In the British House of Commons, or
Tuesday, the 9th September, Lord Pal
merston being Intercepted respecting
the state of Greece said, that he would
admit that some accounts had reached
England Of the occurrence of some I'm
fortunate events in Greece; but he trus-
ted THAI they were only temporary de-
engagements, and that by this time they
were at an end. The conference of the
Three Powers was still continued. for
the purpose of making arrangements BY
which the tranquility of that country
might be restored and placed on q per-
manent basis.
Some discussion Of the question of re-
form has taken place in the House of
Lords on the presentation of petitions
relating to it. Monday, October 3, the

The first acts Of the Russian authori- |
ties at Warsaw have not been character
lzed by that rigor and vengeance which |
we at first feared would be the case |
But In order to form correct judgment !
Of the clemency of Nicholas, we must
wait till the fate of the Polish army shall |
have been decided upon, to know if the |
amnesty will not include conditions cal |
culated to make it almost null.
The men the most deeply compre-
missed IN the Revolution, having follow
ed the army to Modlin, the Russians did |
not fud 10 the capital any of their deei-
ded enemies, and consequently the on
Portunity did not offer itself either for
forgiveness or severity.
There is a confirmation Of the state
men! that Genl. Ramorino, at the head
Of division of IL 900 men, did not fol. |
low the Polish army to Modlin. He
marched upon Lubin with the intention

Some Of the German Journalists still
fiatter themselves with hopes fer the
cause, but we regret that we cannot par
ticiPate in them. According to one Of
these papers, the taking of Warsaw by |
the Russians was only the result of a |
plan conceived by the Poles, who wish
ed by this means to weaken the Russian |
army by at least 20, 900 men, the num-
Der necessary to occupy Warsaw, and to
leave to it also the care Of keeping down
the rising population OF that city. The |
defence Of the Poles had for its object
only, to involve the destruction of as /
many Russians as possible. There are
now only about 10000 troops and Ma
tional Guards which took part in the de-
fence.
The further statements Of the Ger !
man editors are, that the cause of Po-
land is not lost. General Szembeck is
stationed at Sandomir, with 10000 men,
on the rear ofthe Russian army, to whom
