THORN, Sept. %, private letter.)-Tho last Polish re-
i,ugees who sought an asylum in our country, have been
delivered up to The Russians. a few only were able to
reach Pilau and Dantzic to embark for France. The Prus-
sian Government issued a cabinet order, by which il was
directed Ihat every means was TO be employed, except
violence, TO induce the Polish refugees TO return home, and
MAT ia case OF their not complying with The Injunction g.,
they were TO be sent TO the Prussian forlresses, TO he EN-.
plloycd in the works. The Prussian General Schmidt, was
charged with the execution of this order. This general
leaving it TO subordinate agents, the latter thought they
should render themselves agreeable To the king hy deliver
ihG these unfortunate men into the hands of the Musco-
vIles. The Poles were divided into dctachments OF from
2OO TO 300 men, TO each Of which the cabinet orders were
read The passage pointing out the motives by which
The Poles were 10 be induced to return home was not read.
After having heard the order they all declared that they
would not return butby force. The Prussian soldiers re-
ceived orders to strike the Poles in the face if they did not
obey. The cavalry was then ordered TO make a charge
upon the unfortunate Poles, who were thrown down and
trampled upon by the borsenen. Many OF the refugees
having been wounded, they were at length forced TO adj
vance, aud thus they passed the frontiers, not escorted,
but chased and pursued as il it were by dogs.
On arriving IN Poland the Russians gave to each Of them
from 0O 10 100 lashes OF the kDOut. One Of the most nu-
merous detdchments, which had also been ill-trealed, OBJ
siinately refused TO pass the frontier, and the soldiers COM
posing it, harrassed by the prnssian troops, al last in = fit
OF evaporation fell upon the officers and threw them from
their horses, thus returning violence for violence. Upon
this the cavalry charged them, cut them down with their
sabres, trampled upon them with their horses, and then
Ielt them TO be finished by the Cossacks.
The small town Of Sakolow in Poland has lately been
almost wholly destroyed by fire.
TURKEY AND EGYPT
-CoNsrANTINOPLE Sept. 10.-Tbe following are the
reports in circulation, from private accounts said to be
authentic; The Egyptian troops having been victorious

defeats 10 concentrate itself in that town where the Field
Marshal Hussein-Pacha had his headquarters, was pre-
pairing Tor defence. lbrahim-Pacha having made all his
arrangements for an attack, Hussein- Pacha called to-
gether the Primates OF the City aud the Officers Of lis
stan, announced the approaching siege and urged them
to make an efficient defence. The Pripates, however,
refused to take UP arms against the Egyptians, and The
staff officers iusinusted that a treaty should be entered in
to with, the enemy, whose forces were superior TO those
opposed to him. In short IL was evident that neither the
inhabitants nor the troops would resist Ibrahim Pachs.-
The Field Marshal seeing the danger OF his position, quit
ted AleppO in the night, accompanied by only 200 Officers
or Dignitaries of the State, who dreaded falling into The
hands Of the victorious General, and went 10 Adana. The
Egyptian army entered Alcppo without striking a blow,
aud was received by the inhabitants with open arms

Grandees Of the Empire, and you will be astonished 10
