the LyEa Cora, md the scene Of his former
successes Harrassed by seyeral thousand
without offering battle, he has, By their opera
tions, been prevented Joining kuroWsN in /
time to obriate defeat. His force, which in
Polish accounts is designedly estimated too I
low, may be set down Us amounting to 10000
Or more; though tor satety's sake lie makes
night 10 quarter his men in separate camps.
Haying Laid In 1nrge store Of provisions in
the fertile plains of the Wisloka River, he |
will be enabled to hold bis ground, and face
tile enemy with renewed yigor in the less pro-
ductiye bills to which he has again retired.
Against him the Sosnowice and Dombrowa |
ctTps, total Of 1900 Russians, have now |
taken tic field.
Adding to this number force Of equal |
strength distributed over the country towns |
accessible points OF the frontier; wheze'arms |
and emissaries find their way into the coun-
try, We obtain the tota! Of tie troops in the |
field ut the present moment: Besides these, |
50 600 or Il, ,0Ue more are 4uattered in the King
dem, 20, ,00O being required for Warsaw alone,
three fottresses, together with the border cit
adel Of Bizcsc Litewsk. To what All extent
the available forces hare been exhausted by
the concentration Of the troops Is unmis-
Southern Railway. Along this most impor-
| tant line Of communication with the South
and Southwest the positions of the insurgents
begin within ten miles from the capital
Skirniwice, the junction between the North
ern and Southern Railways and particularly
been strongly occupied, rendering them
connection with Germany and the West. Five
hundred grenadiers Of the guard, who about q
prise, being 1urcd into the woods were cut to
pieces. Thence to Piotrkow, where o small
RusEl1n garrison Is said, though hardly felt to
| exist, no imperial uniform Is perceptible along
| the entire line Of rail. 1t is only at Czcnstoc-
| howo that Russia rises again to the surEacc Of
thousand armed men and couple of batter
les, which the garrison have to thank for their
exemption from attack From Czcnstochowo
started one Of the columns that proved too
many for poor N. Kurowski; but the smaller
attachments dispatched from thus center Of
Southern operations have been knowa to re-
tire repeatedly to Prussian SOIL and, at the
moment of leaving the beloved country they
serve, to sell their arms to the insurgents at
their heels None but sporadic intelligence haa
been received from the Northwestern provinces.
No construction favorable to tho Russian
| Government ought, however, to be placed
upon the fact, Among the news reported,

east Of Posen, and the institution Of 4 reyo-

miles further to the east,) but the general
tenor Of the Intelligence leads us to believe
none the less whetti6g it under cloak Of
pacific appearance. No less than twenty err
, ratio bands have been mentioned to
crop and vanish as fast rs they have
come in sight In different parts Of the
country. AS was originally tho case In the
South, they do not seem to muster above 400
each, and are only intended to serve US = nu-
cleus, for the eventual formation Of a more
respectable force. They are left unmolcsted
