 The march of Skrzynecki, is without a parallel in modern warfare. From Warsaw to Ostrolenka, was a flank march of full eighty miles, thence to Loniza another 30 and to Tychosin D mofe-the last 50 being in the rear oi the Russian grand army. The Poles fseem to have gained advantages in q re- pulse of the Russians at Aiinsk and this with the new position Of Skrzynec- ki, no doubt forced Debitsch to retreat to Locolow, near the lower Bug.
 The ranks of the Warsovians have also been recruited by volunteers from Prussia and Austrian Poland; and lhe whole campaign resembles. a waroi chiv- airy, in which the enlightened enter prize of Europe is directed, individual iy, against the further encroachments of the barbarous Muscoyites, Tartars and 1 SSiberians.
 We have just learnt Says the London Globe, under date June ,, 5 o'clock, P. M D that-a report Is general in the city ol a Russian defeat by the Poles, and that the Imperial Guards had been cut to pieces. Ii is said to rest on letters from Berlin. 1t is certainly very prev alent.
 The Morning Star of the Sd says. that the above report probably alludes to the overthrow of the Guards at Fy- chosln, who were taken by surprise.

General Dlebitsch has made mauguvre with the principal part of his army, in the direction of the Bug and Narew. with 2 mailifestintention to get into the va wodie ot Flock, to gain the Prussian i frontiers. I'he motive Of tiiiis ,i,,,tt.,e of position is not difficult to be under stood, as the Russian General finds f difsioisit to receive bis cenyo,sfrom f.l,s. sian Poland, and he now wants to aain the Prussian frontiers, 10 be in coinmu- nication with Thorne, where he has a considerable magazine of provisions and ammunition waiting for his reproach. Gen. Skrzynecki has also made a Hank movement-o Friday mornino hls head quarters were at miiosna, and m the afternoon at Jablonna, ard on Sat urday at Sierock; his main army was in the directionof pnltusk: three hundred
