"The Poles were retiring upon Modlin
and Flock where it was supposed they would
make am effort 10 maintain themselves.
Such is the substance of this fatal intelli-
gence. 1t is still said that the Poles will
maintain the struggle. But the loss of their
capital is fearful blow, and may, we fear,
prove fatal 10 their cause
The Russians say they took 6OOO pri-
soners and 100 cannon at Warsaw.

national calamity-as national DISGRACE of

and we recollect all that you have commun;,
Gated to US IN your dispatches The French
Cabinet made to us yet more fattering pro-
misses. In the month ofJune it assured M
that our cause was sound, and the British
Minister pronounced the same words. They
begged OF us to maintain our ground for one
more month, or at most two, and that we
should have all we required. They assured
us IN the most solemn manner, at Paris and
at Londt n, that they would seriously occupy
themselves about our affairs as soon as those

settlement OF the Belgian question and now
