INTELLIGENCE FROM EUROPE.
The following bulletins, of the Polish Generate,
‘JDwernicki, and Skrezynicki, relate to transactions,
which have already been detailed; but as official
•documents, they are worthy of attention.
REPORT OF GENERAL DWERNICKI.
1 left Druskopol the 16th of April, and arrived at
Boremel, a small town on the left Bank of the river
Stye, at noon on the same day*. I immediately gave
orders to re-construct the bridge, which the enemy
had destroyed on his retreat.
This order being executed in four hours, I com
manded a thick forest situated on the other side of
the river, to be occupied with a battalion of infan
try, through which a road led to the enemy’s camp.
I employed the whole of the 17th to make obser
vations. and to assure myself of the Russian force,
which I was able to ascertain from personal observa
tion, amounted to 12,000 regular troops in infantry
and cavalry, supported bv 22 cannons.
At day-break rj the 19th, the enemy pressed on
the forest, guarded by one of our battalions, with
Lis whole infahtrv, eight battalions strong, seeking
to operate the passage of the bridge; he brought
forward six pieces of artillery, protected by which
he expected to accomplish his object; but after a
cannonade, continued during several hours on both
eides, he found himself thwarted and could not suc
ceed. During the night he had four pieces of ar
tillery dismounted, and our grape shot operating on
the masses of infantry advancing from the forest,
produced enormous loss. On our side 15 were
wounded, amongst whom were two officers and Ma-
^or Szymanaski slightly.
On the 19th, the enemy having taken possession
x»f the forest with a strong force of infantry and ar
tillery, conducted his main force to the villages of
Chrvliki and Krasne, a mile distant from Boromel,
•where he passed the river nnd concentrated his
force near Nowosielki, on the left bank. Having
5eft mv infantry and two cannon to obstruct the en
emy’s passage of the bx'idge, I went to meet these
masses, commanded by General Rudiger. I de
tached six squadrons to guard the road to Beres-
Jaezko, in case he should make an attack on me in
i that position, which I supposed to be his intention.
The combat commenced by a well supported fire

soners, Col. Borysson of the artillery is killed, Lieu
tenant-General SkoDelef and Major Phesze dan-
f erously wounded: General Pahlen, the comman-
er of the corps received a severe contusion.
After the contest at Minsk, I occupied the posi
tion at Demby, where I expected the enemy. I
determined to accept battle, which it appeared to
me he was willing to give, for I could not otherwise
explain an offensive movement effected with his
whole force, which he seemed to assemble express
ly near Dembv. In the night of the 29th, contra
ry to my expectation, the enemy commenced a re
trograde motion. Our advanced guard immediate
ly pursued him, and brought in prisoners from all
sides.
In the night of the SOth of April, Lieutenant Sie-
raski, with .thirty ot the fifth Chasseurs a cheval,
fell unexpectedly on the rear of a whole regiment
of Cossacks, near Tezebusza, killed a great number,
made many prisoners, and dispersed the remainder
in the neighboring forests.
Since I nave confided the command of the army,
which was on the left bank of the Vistula, to Gen.
Dwernecki, he has had several successful skirmish
es in the provinces of Lublin, which has produced
us no loss, but occasioned considerable to the ene
my in killed, wounded and prisoners; besides a sum
of 7,156 Polish florins has been retaken from the
Government chests, and forwarded to the National
Treasury.
. On the* retreat of the- enemy, vestiges of great
pose a corps eight times stronger than my own, I
was compelled to withdraw to Gallicia, after I had
informed the commander of the frontiers.
Rudiger paid no respect to the frontiers; his co
lumn occupied the Austrian territory, and although
my rear-guard did not fire a shot, according to mv
strict orders, the Russians unceasingly fired on our
troops. Many of our people were wounded, and
20 taken prisoners.
The Austrian corps of hussars and infantry caus
ed them to suspend their operations; but they held
their position half a mile from the frontiers, near the
village of Lasiecznik, and left it hours afterwards.
I was posted at Chlebanowska, the place appointed
me by the Austrian Col. Fak. I sent a courier to
Prince Lubkowitz, requesting him to allow me to
proceed through to Poland.
I entreat the National government to adopt mea
sures for the safety of my corps, which has done
all in its power for the welfare of the country up to
this time, and may be of great benefit in future.

POLISH MILITARY REPORTS.
The Commander in Chief of the Amy to the National Government.
In the completion of my report of the 28th of A-
pril, I have the honor to communicate to the Na
tional Government, that in the battle decided on the
the 23th, near Ruflow, Col. Dembinski, with the
4th regiment of the cavalry of Podiacliec, two
squadrons of the 1st regiment of Masovin, twenty-
one battalions of infantry, and four field pieces of
light artillery, supported by an advantageous posi
tion, sustained a continued combat with the front
of the enemy’s main army, under a cannonade ot
16 field pieces, commanded by the Field Marshal in
person. At length, on receiving orders, he with
drew towards Cigiou. In this affair, our loss amoun
ted to eighteen killed, among whom was one officer;
twenty-three wounded.
Major Potkanski of the Quarter-Master, Staff,
and Captain Sudlucki, of the 4th regiment of Hu-
lans, particularly distinguished themselves.
In the contest with the rear-guard in Minsk,
General Gielguahad 8 battalions of infantry, 6 field
pieces, and 12 of smaller calibre; his position was
behind Minsk, and lie occupied the town with one
battalion. Before Minsk, General C. Skarzvnski
was posted with the 2d regiment of cavalry Jagers,
and the 3d regiment of Lancers, under the com
mand of General Keibi, with 4 cannon of the 1st
battalion of Light Horse Artillery; the remaining
part of his division stood behind Minsk, on the left
wing of Gen. Gielgua The enemy approached
the small town of Ciglou, and at 11 A. M. his co
lumns began to issue from the woods, and to attack
our cavalry, which sustained the first assault. But
as the whole corps of Gen. Pahlen developed itself,
which was alone more than double the strength of
our whole rear-guard, Gen. Skarzvnski withdrew
on his position on the other side of the Minsk.
Gen. Gielgua, after having repulsed the liiise at
tacks of the enemy, during two hours, was pursued,
and perceiving that the number of Russians contin
ually increased, commenced his retreat in eehellon,
according to instructions, without obstruction, and
in the most perfect order, to Stojadlo and Demby-
wielki. I cannot extol too highly the prudence of
Gen. Gielgua, as well as the army; the retreat was
effected with great courage and coolness. The
half battery commanded by Lieutenant Przizdziec-
ki particularly distinguished itself in the contest at
the same belief, and were making preparations ac
cordingly.

“Warsaw, May 16.—I have just time before the
post leaves, merely to state what w r as before doubt-
nil, which is now confirmed by an official communi
cation, relative to General Chrzanowski. The
General received orders to march to Zamosc with a
corps of 8,000 men, for the purpose of’causing a di
version in Volhynia, and, in fact, replacing General
Dwernicki, who was forced to retire into Gallicia.
He chose the shortest way, penetrating through the
enemy’s position through Kock, Lubartow, and
Krasnistaw. He made forced marches of 91 miles
(English) in three days, beat the Russians in three
several battles, and brought 800 prisoners to Za
mosc on the 15th inst. The fate of this corps ex
cited much anxiety, as he was surrounded by the
enemy’s forces of 24,000 men, and cut off from all
succor for a whole week.

On Sunday, 20 mortars and 29 ammunition wagons

admonitions of those in whom they have been wont
to confide, and equally unintimiaated by the ter

of private information received bv the Government,

following day at Brussels.
The Belgian government havq published an of
ficial letter from the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
addressed to the Dutch government, in which ail
hostility towards that government is disavowed.
The object of the communication is, to put an end
to hostilities, by mutual discussion on the point in
dispute, for which purpose it’is suggested to name
three commissioners on each side, to meet either at
Aix la Chapelle, or Valencionnes, to negotiate a
treaty. But in the event of a rejection of those
overtures, then Belgium must, it is said, immedi

Scotland, who left his seat on the bench to vote as a
freeholder of Ayrshire, against the ministerial can
didate, was attacked by the mob, and with great
difficulty escaped. “Mr. Larde, of Port Glasgow,”
says the account in the Caledonian Mercury, “one
of the voters, died in the steamboat betwixt Ayr
and Ardrossan. He had been previously in very
bad health. A gentleman who came up in the
Largo steamboat, describes the dinner scene as one
of the most striking lie ever witnessed. One of the
voters was lying a corpse in an adjoining apartment,
while most of tho^e who sat at table, had their heads
bound up with bioodv handkerchiefs.” At Dum
barton, the ferocity of* the mob was as conspicuous
as at Ayr.
In Ireland, a violent altercation took place be
tween Major Macnamara and O’Gorman Mahon.
These two persons had been friends, and the dis
pute arose from the fact, that Macnamara’s tenants
had not supported Mahon. The parties called
each other liars, and Mahon styled Macnamara a
coward, who has since in a letter to the public said
that, from Mahon*s behaviour on another occasion,
it was evident that he could treat him “with con

The brig Hunter Cap. Llufrio, arrived at this
port on Saturday from Port au Prince, whence she
sailed on the 12th inst. The editors of the Ameri
can learn from the Supercargo of the Hunter, that

teen months ago, with full power to conclude a final

had assembled near Adrianople, and was preparing
to march against the rebels; and a squadron, com
posed of a frigate and several sloops, had sailed for
the coast of Albania to blockade its ports, If his
men remained faithful, little doubt was entertained
that the Sultan would triumph at last over the re
bels.—But there seems to be a good deal of appre
hension on that point, as a great number of deser

the order of the Grand Vizier; and the cause of
tlie rebels appears to be more generally popular than
that of the Sultan.—Poulson’s Jldv.
Vienna May 11.—The reverses of the brave
Dwernicki excite more and more public attention
for the poor Poles, who will be obliged to make a
long and fatiguing journey, destitute of all resour
ces. In all most all the great circles ladies have
collected for them. It has been reported Jo-day
that the Emperor was disposed to restore General
Dwernicki and and all his soldiers to liberty, on
condition that the Polish General-in-Chief should
return an equal number of Russian prisoners, both
officers and privates. It is said that an Austrian
agent was dispatched for this purpose to Warsaw
yesterday evening.
A Hamburg paper of May 20, states that the
Austrian government has refused to allow General
Dwernicki to return to Warsaw, and has made ar
rangements for his reception at Laybach, and his
officers are to be distributed in Motaviar, and his
soldiers to be sent to Transylvania. Dwernicki
has protested against the conduct of the Austrian
Government, and sent copies of Protest to the
French and English Ambassabors, and hopes,
through their intervention, to obtain some mitiga
tion of (lie harshness with which he has been threat
ened.

diately detached for the particular service a \tn.iig
captain, who recc’ved his instructions and execu
ted them with promptness and fidelity. He posit
ed his way almost to Vienna, and was hack again
at the imperial head quarters about the time wnen
the unfortunate Mack was compelled to surrender.
Napoleon personally interrogated the young officer,
who in addition to his verbal answers, was icady
with a written report of his observations and took
the liberty to advise a direct march on the Austri
an capital without reference to the fortified towns.
If we may believe Bonrrienne, whose narrative,
although a deligliful work, has lately been most se
riously changed with inaccuracy and misrepresen
tation, the Emperor was highly offended with tho
young Captain. He asked him how he dared to
trace plans of a campaign for him? Begone, said he,
and await my orders! Rapp, who was present at
this scene, relates that when the young man went
out, the Emperor instantly changed his tone, and
remarked of him that he was a very meritorious of
ficer, that he was too valuable to be exposed to the
stroke of a bullet, and that Beriheir must send him
into Illyria without delay. This affected the young
Captain deeply: with almost a broken heart l5
obeyed the order, -which he considered no oihev
than a punishment for his presumption. At the
close of the campaign, and when the list of promo
tions to tlie rank of Colonel was made out by Bep-
tlieir, the name of the yonng man did not appear.
This looked like a still further disgrace until it was
explained by its insertion, at the head of all tire
others on the list, in the hand writing ol’ the Empe
ror himself. This temporary eclat was not follow
ed up however by any further notice on »Uc part of
Napoleon for a number of years. The van mg in
cident in tlie life of the great Captain rcce-*arily
drove from his mind the consideration of nanv less
important subjects. In 1812, however, eon.-e par
ticular information was required in relation to Illy
ria and Ragusa* Marmont was applied to, and
his answers were far from teeing satisfactory to iho
Emperor. Several other general officers were ex
amined, and to as little purpose. The inspector of
engineers was then called on to designate some offi
cer who would be able to give the requisite informa
tion.—After a little reflection the Colonel to whom
we have alluded, was named as being perfectiv fa
miliar with the subject. “Ah,” said the Emperor,
“I know him—Where is her” “At Anverse, employ
ed upon the fortification!” “At telegraphic dispatch
—let the Colonel mount, and be here without draw
ing bridle,” said Napoleon. These messages wer&
always excited and obeyed like magic. The per
son to whom they were addressed, felt it an honor
to receive them. In a few days tlie Colonel was in
the Emperor’s cabinet, and "after communicating
what he knew, was complimented with the remark,
“now I knmc Ragusa!” The conversation then
turned upon the works of Anverse. The Emperor
stated in what manner he would turn his positions
and carry his batteries. The Colonel growing bold
in the familiarity of the moment, declared in what
manner he would foil the attacks. Enchanted with
his readiness and struck with his ability, the Empe
ror actually took him with him to attend a sitting
of the Council of State, and asked his opinions up
on tlie matters in discusion. When the Council
broke up, the Emperor turned to him and said, “yon
are my aid-de-camp” After the ensuing cam
paign, he was made a Brigadier, and then a Gen-
al of division.—Upon the downfall of Napoleon,
to whom he was ardently attached, he rejected the
most brilliant offers made him by several European
governments, and came to the United States of A-
meric.a. Our readers will hardly require us after
this sketch of his romantic career, any paneevrio
on Gen. Bernard!

About twenty miles from Mount Hora, N. YorV,

counties, and four towns. The States are New
York and Vermont; the counties are Renselaer

The “Temperance Advocate” gives the following
history of it;—It was built by a Mr. Mathews, whm
