CLOCK AT NIGHT..—The Government has this instant received from the Commander of Zamosk, a report, which announces that four companies of infantry, supported by four pieces of cannon, having made a sortie, had passed the Bug under the fire of the enemy ; occupied Urcham ; put to rout a battalion of infantry ; killed a colonel and seventy men, made 360 prisoners, of which eight were officers, and taken a standard, as well as many horses and muskets. I hasten to transmit to you these details, which indicate beside that Zamosk is not invested.  The Gazette d'Etat of Warsaw publishes the following letter from Count Diebitscb Sabalkaneki, to Colonel Count Ledochowski, commander of the fortress of Modlin. " Colonel, God, the protector of the just cause, has given the victory to the imperial troops. The combats of the 19th and the 25th, must have convinced you, that new efforts cannot arrest the progress of the arms of his Majesty. The bravery with which the Polish troops fought would have become a more just cause. Their military enthusiasm must then be calmed, and this struggle be terminated. The warriors who, for some time, regarded as fellow citizens, the enemies against whom they have now been fighting, have the right to desire the end of this murderous war. I know you personally. Colonel : you have called upon you the attention of the Restorer of Poland—even of that monarch who inherits his throne by his virtues. I know that you are a brave officer, as distinguished by your sentiments of honour, as by your love for your country. Notwithstanding that Poland, for which you are ready to shed the last drop of your blood, is a prey to all the unhappy consequence of anarchy and war, its own troops have signalised their march, by pillage and devastation of every description. The imperial army, accustomed as it is to discipline, could not avoid, even when they saw ruin, augmenting the sad position of the inhabitants. It is an inevitable consequence of war. Are other provinces still to share the same fate ? To avoid all these evils, it will be sufficient to recognize sincerely, the fidelity which is due to his Majesty the Emperor and King. It will be sufficient to renew those oaths which it has not been feared to violate, which notwithstanding cannot be absolved ; on this being done, the Emperor and King has promised amnesty and oblivion to wandering men; his generosity will even extend to repentant criminals. His Majesty the Emperor has deigned to confide in me full power. I will execute these generous intentions ; may those who sincerely love their country, feel capable of still rendering it a great service, by submitting the first, which cannot dishonour them, since it is an incompatible duty. —The general consideration which they enjoy amongst their fellow countrymen, and their independent position, will furnish them with the occasion of giving a great and salutary example. Do you still hesitate, Colonel, to render this important service to your country ? If you draw upon yourself the reproaches of the partisans of the revolt, you will be justified by the approbation of all sensible men, and by the blessings of the present and future generations, who will see in the revival of peace, tranquillity and happiness. This is the most worthy recompence to a noble and generous heart. Col. Kiel, Adjutant of his Imperial Highness the Czarowitsch, is charged by me to give this letter into your own hands. I will in nothing deceive you, Colonel ; I would not demand of you a base action. I will no more fix a period to your answer. But, think well of it; Honour, your duty towards your country and your Monarch, must prescribe to you the nature of your conduct. May Gon watch you, and inspire you with my conviction, upon the conduct which Poland expects from you, upon the importance of the service which you are in a state to render her. You have done honour to your country by your courage and your talents ; may your example save her from the abyss in which she is plunged by some evil-disposed citizens. That will be showing a noble courage, which dares expose itself to the extravagance of the turbulent. May you, Colonel, promptly give me the occasion of assuring you of my high esteem. 111ilcnna, March (Sign 183 ed)
