tack Dwernecki, who, as he supposed, would attempt to retreat over the VisIula. But at the same time a report from. Gen. Rudiger announced that Dwerneeki had crossed the Bug" As f an army expected IO retreat south of the Thames should advance to the north of the Trent; for the Bug and the Wis., tula are, at the points in question, hundred miles apart. .:
 zExVlaCt of a letter from V arsaw of the Ia,h of April:-" Marshal Diebitsch has burnt all his transports. He has passed the Wieprz, abandoned the right bank Of the Vlstula, and it is believed that he seeks to gain the Bug hut the route which he follows is very bad as he is frequently obliged tO traverse snarshes nearly impracticable. The Chaussee of Sled lee is occupied by the General. in Chief Skrzv. nccki, h" continually harrassed the Russian troops. The necessity of assembling great. forces, to attack the enemy with advantage, has not permitted the General tU leave a corps of the army at Warsaw, consequently it may be still possible that Diehilsch may seek to pass the Vistula tO fall unex xprcteClly upnn the capital. But here we are upon guard; ad- vanced redOuhts; pieces "f cannon upon the heights, mines, barricades, and more than eO,- 900 inhabitants in regiments, will permit US to resist coup. de main besides we are with cut the least fear. Fear is here hnknown n. In such a state Of things, it is necessary tn, wait for events. You will not be surprised to learn that general insurreciion is spmkrn of in C0urland, in LivOnia, Lithuania perhaps even Moscow is on the eve Of a revolution.
 1Mrkey.-The insurrPcti0ns in Greece and Turkey are confirmed. and letters from Con- stantinople assure us that the Sultan is deter mined On war with Russia, which, it is sup posed, will unite al parties in his favor, as the malcontents are principally drawn fro,n the classes who think that the national honor has been tarnishcd by the events of the last cam- paign.

 ENGLAND. London. Mag 1.-The Elec- lions for the City of London and Borough of
 Southwark commenced and finished ycstrr. day. Alderman Wood, Waihman, Thomp- son, and Venahles were returned, Mr. Ward having declined. The Members for the City are pr"frssed Ref"rmers. as well as Mir. Cal vert and MT. William Brougham, who were returned for Southwark. Thus London and Southwark have sent RefOrmers to Parlia.
 ment, and this circumstance has been taken hold of by the friends Of Reform, as being tantamOuDt to hint to the rest of the em- pire. The truth is, that the general feeling of the country has already been expressed in pretty strong terms, aud He shall see, from tire result of the Elections, whether the plan which has been brought forw sd by Ministers will in the next Parliament be passed into a law. It was SO stated in the last Parlia meat,
 but, owing tO circumstances, it never reached the C0iomitter, and, consequently, the de-
 tails of it, though known, never were fairly considered. Now, if the Bill had gone intp Committee, the provisions would have been
 fairly discussed and considered. and the mer- its of tue Bill have been duly appreciated
 But it has been said that, with the last Parlia- meht. Ministers had no chance of success Mish
 their favOrite measure. Probably not. Whrn
 the new Parliament, however, assemblies, the
 question will be fairly tried. and as the gener-
 al sense Of the nation at present seems t0 bts
 peculiarly favorable towards it, the Bill may
 pass Into law. We never recOllect ppriud
 when the opinions of the nation were sO wpan. imuus in favor of Reform. and as the oppor- tuniay IS now given for collecting the sense ,.f the nation into one focus, and that focus is the Parliament. the lawgivers Of the naiiun, we psesume that the Bill, if passed. will he beneficial, and being sO. we of course arr. bound ts believe that it N il effect all the good which the nation hope tO obtain from it.
 General Ilumiaation oH Weinesday Night in LondOn.-The spectacle of universal iov. which the metropolis exhibited last night, must have convinced even the most prpiIdi- ced anti-refOrmers. that its most respectable and intelligent inhabitants are, to a man, op- posed to continuance of their arrogant t.,.
 minasiOn. The illumination was more gen. eral. more tasteful and more magnificent than any which took place during the whole revolutionary war; and. as if it were intend. ed to disappOint the predictions of the tories. was conducted with degree of peace and Or der which ill excite in their breasts the his- terest lamentations. With exceptions sO few as scarcely tO deserve notice, every house in London was last night shining in bIaze of light. The crowds which perambulated il,s streets were very numerous, and up to late hour very good d-na'urrd. They seemed io enjoy the consciousness of their own strength, and were. in consequence, mere inclined to laugh at the opponents of reform than to treat them either with rrproach or violence. .-TSmes.
 Dreadful Fire and Loss of LiE.-On We'd ncsday morning, fire was discovered in the mansion of Lord Walsinghan, in Harley street. Cayendish square,. Eond~w. Tie flames ragged with such fmy, that in short time the whole building was one vast sheet of hre. One of the dOmestics ran to his lord- ships dressing room" eudeavor to save him. 7 his lOrdshiP being. uDforlunately, a cripple. and totally unable tO assist hims~lC from wounds received on the continent 'b,t inc flames burst forth with such violence. that he was compelled instantly to drsist from at. tempting tO rescue the unfortunate nohIeman. who. we regret to say. perished in the flames.
