MARCH 3l.-Last night the Russians attempted to
burn the bridge from Warsaw to Praga. They launch
ed at KarcZew three boats filed with combustbles
of which had also several hundred shells board the
bursting of which it supposed would prevent any
persons from attempting to the bridge when it
should be set fire. Several boats with Cossacks
board followed at distance III order the fire
ships afoat r they should happen to agrouud-
The plan failed, for the fire ships aground
shells beginning to burst killed some of the Cossacks
and obliged the others to put back. Two of the fire
ships burnt, the third remained aground the explosion
of the shells heard for five hours, and since
reported that heavy cannonade had been heard in the
direction of Wilanow. If the fire ships had not run
aground the object would still have failed, every
precaution had been taken.

to the bold and sklful manoeuvres of the Generain-

bridge of Praga had been covered with straw that the
rumbling of the heavy cannon passing it might
not be heard. Inc prisoners brought to Warsaw are
of the 24th and 25th divisions. Almost the whole of
the 9TH regiment were taken prisoners. The Polish
