PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.—" Porvidence continues to be with us •, we march from victory to victory. The brave General Ignace Proudzynski, one of our most distinguished officers, has just obtained an important victory. The number of prisoners is so great, that the labours of agriculture of the spring may be executed by their arms; this will be a new kind of colonization, advantageous to Poland.— Diebitsch is hemmed in on the north side by the army of the Polish Generalissimo; on the south, by General Dwernicki; on the east, by the Bug and the Lithuanian insurrection ; and on the west, by the Vistula, of which the left bank is formidably defended by the mowers, and by the regular army of the Lithuanians, which has passed over to the side of the Poles. The Imperial Russian guard is separated from Diebitsch by the Polish Generalissimo and by General Pac. Field Marshal Diebitsch shows himself very little ; he often says, " Mau proposes, and GOD disposes;" all his fine dreams of marches on the Rhine have vanishd. He throws all the fault upon Nicholas. His officers, on their side, reproach him with having annihilated the glory of the Russian empire, raised to so great a pitch for more than a century. We learn from the interior of Russia, that so many victories of the Poles frightens the Russians at St. Petersburgh, whilst it rejoices those at Moscow." The following is the ukase or decree alluded to, extracted from the St. Petersburg/4 Gazette :  UKASE TO THE DIRECTING SIERT& " Already at the first breaking out of the insurrection in the king. dom of Poland, expecting that it would not fail to influence weak minds, ready to be misled to disturb by illegal and visonary motives the public tranquillity in the provinces which the Russian empire had recovered from Poland, we, always attentive to the welfare of our faithful sub. jeers in those governments, addressed ourselves to the nobility, as the most considerable class among the inhabitants, and expressed the hope that they would use all their efforts, under the existing circumstances, to prove their fidelity to us and to the country. and a firm seal:for the general good. Our expectations were almost every where realized. The nobility of the Governments of Orodno, Wilma, and Volbynia, hastened to express to us, through the provisional military governors, their unalterable sentiments of devotedness, and immediately afterwards proved by deeds how ready they were to give their property and their exertions to provide for the manifold and great demands for the supply of the army. The greater, therefore, is the sorrow with which we now learn, that a band of ingrates, not worthy to be called noblemen, di their oaths and lately renewed vows of fidelity, has had ty to disturb the public tranquillity in the circl -a of Teisch, achawel, and Romany, in the government of Wilna. We are firmly rooked to inflict on them the ex mar yishment which deserve, and which we hope will caus, thewveripunng to reflect, andthey the misled to return to the obligations of their duty and their oath. 1. We ordain— " 1. All nobles (or Shlachti) taking part in the insurrection, trd offering an armed resistance to the legitimate authorities, are to be trit by court-martial, according to military law, and the sentence to be tied into execution on being confirmed by the respective commandtts of detachments. " 2. The lauded property of such criminals is to be confiscated, and the revenues to fall to the Treasury of the Invalids. " 3. With respect to all male children of those nobles punished to the crimes specified in the first article, our further pleasure is to t, hereafter taken t the children of those who describe themselves a, 'Weald, without being able to glee satisfactory proofs of their quality, are to be received as military cantonists. " 4. Persons of inferior rank, taken with awns in their havls, to whatever province they may belong, are to be taken as recruits, and 11 be sent into the Siberian battalions of the line.  " 6.
