 FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

latile up tSetSidof HUH itfSf poois bringing advices to the 18th May illclu- eiYc.
 We copy from the two evening pa pcrs the following items of intelligence, derived from Liverpool papers ot the i2th and 18th May:
 Private letters from Berlin, by the Hamburg steamer, at Liverpool, state that there had been three days fighting, and the brave Poles had been defeated, with the loss of 5000 prisoners and 30O0 killed. Italso appears, that Gen. Dwer- nicki had escaped the Russians, and has been joined by 5000 men; previous 10 which his army consisted of l2,000 men.
 There appears to be no doubt of the defeat of Gen. Sierauski by krcuiz; all accounts, Polish and German. concur in t. From, the position iii which tic r mics now are. q very few days must bring some decisive intelligence.
 The Standard, on the authority of private letters. speaks confidently of the defeat of the Poles, and goes so far as to assert that Warsaw was ready to open its gates to Diebitsch. Humanity shud ders and trembles for the fate Of the bravest people in Europe.
 We have received, by express, the Pa ris papers. dated yesterday. The Mon -iteur contains long and somewhat angry defence of the King and his Afin- isters, for their conduct respecting the E ssdecoration of July;' and all the other 4,lx tf. discussing the propriety of the Minis -terial iuterierencc. The heroes of Ju- ly themselves conquered those emb1ems which have been deereed by tho people to be commemorative of the valor-and the King therefore. arrogates too much in demanding to bestow them as marks of royal favor. "The heroes of July" have refused to receive that which the King had no right to give.
 Rgssin md Polaqd, We are.sorry to say that the last accounts from the seat of war are far from being satisfactory, though the Poles have been almost inva- riably successful in the several skirmish- es which have taken place. Their means of making good the losses fnsep- arable even from victory, bear no pro portion to those of the gigantic oppres- sor. From the neglect of all agricultu- raj operations, want is beginning 10 be felt. tis certain that the cholera has made it's appearance at Warsaw and in the camp; and the country people are approaching Warsaw from all direc- z, .@ 4 xxn,,II .,.-, T. that the barbarians are advancing fast upon the capital. Should they ever en- -ter the city, 1t will be over the dead bo- dies of the inhabitants. after atrocities ~niid nassacres worse than any of those which called for the intervention the powers of Europe in the struggle be- tween the Turks and Greeks; but we scan hardly believe that those Powers again look quietly on the martyrdom o people superior in every point of view 2 to their oppressors; people. whose al most miraculous bravery and patriotic sacrifices, prove them so well entitled 10 freedom
 Gen. Skrxynccki has issued procla- nation to the army and the nation. in which he does not disguise the difficult ties of their situation; but tells then plainly. that their only hope of ultimate success in the struggle for national exis 5 tcnee depends on their continued Ferse ~verance. He enumeratcsthe glorious results of the campaign, and eoHatnesss ts ,yita laudable pride on the fact, that gaIfhna1h Poland had but at its com Tncneoaent ;,a iii-orearized force Of ooo. .;oo GOO 10 oppose the hordes of Russia. 5. nearly 50,0G0 of the latter have been put hors du co,abdt, and l6,00o remain prisoners in Warsaw, whilst the Poles nave taken if flags, i5,090 or i6.000 etand of arms, and 30 pieces of cannon together with a great number of bag gage and ammunition wagons, 6lc. We cannot doubt that his appeal will be met in corresponding spirit. On tho other hand the Autocrat has ordered to be ie- sied ai, army of I5a,000 men, 10 sup port the operations of Gen. Diebitsch; and it is stated that the war is highly popular in Russia, notwithstanding the reverses sustained by the Russians. We subjoin few extracts from late War eaw papers:
 The Warsaw Gazette of the 2Gth ot April states, in q postscript, the fellow } ing important news: Yesterday We re- ceived the news that Gen. Dwernieki had obtained a victory over the corps of Gen. Rudirer, at Luck. on the river
