troops approach within a few miles Of the capital. The

that a deputation from Warsaw had waited on Diebitsch
with the offer Of surrendering, in consequence of the
disease and famine prevailing in that capital, but that
the General had refused the terms. On the other hand,
we know that accounts from Warsaw down TO 18th have
been received in a high quarter here, which gave a

Every order Of the day from the GcneraIissimo Of the
Poles, wisely impresses on the minds Of the Warso-
vians' the necessity OF considering the war Of virtue
and patriotism as only beginning reminds them OF the
consolidated power OF Russia and warns them against
c onfusion and despair, IL the necessary movements
should compel the army to retreat upon the capital
Tho German papers are full OF rumors concerning po-
land and the French have abundant speculations on the
subject. The Russian papers maintain, that the losses
they have sustained arc trifing they laugh at the re-
port OF disturbanc, IS with Turkey, and show the conf
dence Of Russia In the Porte by stating, that the Rus.
sian troop, are Withdrawn from the Prut6, and TO be en-.
in Volhynia and Podolia.-This movement is,
however, capable of a different explanation.
The foreign journals received, since the above was
in type, contain a large stock Of Polish news, but of
the most contradictory kind, and il is impossible to ar
rive at any satisfactory knowledge OF the actual condi-
ton OF affairs between the contending armies, from such
statements. All that is certain is, that hos
tlities, though upon a small scale, are incessant, be-
tween the wings Of either army, and that the success
these minute encounters is various, but generally I'M
important i'm its results. As between the Polish Gene.
and the Russian main BODY. under Marshal
Diebitsch, no action OF importance has occurred since
thatof the 10Th April last. These Generals appear to have
