The Post Master General, in conaequonoo
of applications for remission of postage on
letters, packages, &c. by the ship Havre for
warded to New York fintn Newport by mail,
writes to the Post Master at N"W York ns
follows •.—"Thu l*i'te master General is of o
pinion, that the ilcltvory of these loiters, *S. ,
by the captain of the packet to tho Post Ol
ficeof Newport, w .h done, e ili. r under tin
legal necessity imposed by the 7ih section ol
the Act of Congress, concerning the Post
Office Department, or ftom a desire on the
from a gallant, patriotic, devoted nation, and
headed by it leader who luis shown that he
knows how to take advantage of favorable
conjunctures, with that clear sighted and ra
pid decision which characterizes the able
commander. In tracing the succession of
military operations from the grout buttle of the
tilst of March and 1st of April, in which the
Polos obtained so glorious a victory, some
embarrassments may be caused to our rcudorn
by tin* various reports of engagements, ami
victories copn d from the continental papers.
Sume of those do appear to he exaggerated,
mnl others destitute of any Other foundation
than tho success of the Poles in various slight
engagements. Of tins description is the uc-
. omit puh min'd in the Jouruul do Vorviors, of
a derisive battle on the 5th of April, in which
the Polos took 15,000 prisoners and 42 pieces
of cannon ; and the other story of a decisive
action on the 7i!i, announced in an article
from Shitgurd, in which it is said that the
BiiKsiuiiH had lust 25,000 men and 00 guns.
In the Warsaw Slate Gazette of the 11th A-
|fril, there is no confirmation of these reports.
It appears that from the 3d of April to the
7th, the Polish army continued to advance its
outposts, sending out skirmishing parties,
and to harrass the enemy, writ such success
tlmt almost hourly additions were inado to the
number of prisoners, guns and standards ta
ken. On the 7th of April, the headquarters
of Bcuzynkuki were lived at l.ntnwinz—the
head quarters of the Russian General were
lixod ul Ryki, and the weather having become
dry and the fields in n condition to admit of,
the movemeiiis of troops, n great battle was
expected by tho people of Warsaw. Oti that
day news arrived at Warsaw ftomtlio Polish
head quarters that Scuzynecki was prepar
ing to go after Dieuitnuil On tlio Dili an
important action took piace between the Po
lish and Russian forces, of which a laconic
account is given by tho victorious Polish Gen
eral. How lurgo a portioji ofthn main unity
on either side was engaged in the battle does
not appear, hut tho number of pr soners,
which was between three and four thousand,
indicates a pretty general ongngeinont. A-
Imut the tminQ time a party of Poles crossed
tlieSurocat Wongrow and took four thou
sand prisoners, the whole of the Russian
guards with some valuable magazines. The
has withdrawn a great part of his troops from
the banks of the Vistula. The bad state of
the roads which become constantly more and
more impassable, puts gieot obstacles in the
way of military movements. On the 10th,
smile persons from the environs of Okuniew,
any that night before last, there was a lively
cannonade heard at the disiunce of some

sembly, tho Marquis of Londonderry was evt-:
dent.ly under the effects of consult rable emo
tion, and, on his rising to address tho House
twee or thrice, attempts were nude by Ins
Noble Friends near to d.ssuade him, but with
out effect.
After a shor* period, to which great irrog-
u'ari’ v m the prhi eed ngs took plat c, the
L <rd Ghanccilor returned, and addressed this
single sentence to their Lordships:—
"My Lords, 1 never until now have heard
that the Sovereign ouglr not to dies dvu Par
liament when lie thinks proper to do so, nnd
1 cannot uiuleraiand why his Majesty should
not now ex- rcise that prerogative at a in >-
m ut w hen i hellouseof Commons h is thought
lit to inke the extreme and unprecedented
stop of refusing supplies.”
The Noble nnd Learned Lord then imme
diately took up the Euuls, and ilie Mace was
borne away out of the House, it being tl,e
duty of the Lord Clune-dlor to attend tin
King, who was expected every moment, the
hells of St. Margaret’s Church, and the thun
der of the artillery, w tn th • loud huzzas of
tin* populace outside, having now proclaimed
liis Majesty’s presence in the vicinity of the
House.
Although the Seals and Mace were now
gone, the Noble Lords who had distinguished
iliemselves in their des'iv o ra.se up a deb te
again moved that the Earl of Slmftesb-.ry
should act as Speaker in ti.e absence of the
Lord Chancellor, and the Nt.hh* Lord once
more tool; h s seat, and presided over ti.e de
liberative assembly !
Lord W’harneliffe, It will he seen, mov'd
his resolution, of which he bad g von notice,
it being an order of the day ; nnd th order
of tho day wus loudly Vailed for, ami complied
with.
Th" Earl of Mansfield, having risen to ad-
dresF- th- ir Lordships, entered at considera
ble length into the topic of reform.
8o suddenly, nnd, on the part of many, so
unexpectedly had nil this irregularity taken
place, that the Peers themselves seemed to
be astonished at what they had witnessed—
proceeding even ns ii had from the irregular
ity of certain of their own body. Mu h cha
grin and morl fication m-ght l-e read in the
countenances’ of not a few Noble Lords at
the extraordinary exhibition which hud oc
curred.

have two files) bring intelligence of the cap
ture of Bogota by General Obando, an insur
gent chief, who headed u rebe.l on in Popav-
an two or three years s.nce, and was after
wards pardoned by Bolivar. He is also known
ns one of th" persons who h ivc* been publicly
charged in Colom’-ia with being the murder
ers of General Sucre.
Ignacio Luque, another insurgent, who is
at work on his own account, having no con
nexion either with Obando or Paez, nnd a
personage never heard of by the public till
very recently, has drummed up a little anTTy
and taken Carthagena ! It appears that the
Boca Cbica (a fortified position nt the en
trance of the liar or) was captured on the
21th of April, and Carthigona on the 26' Ii.—*
Montill i, tho Commandant General, is said
to have previously departed for the United

The conduct of bis enemies und yours was
no less remarkable, and, after an exordium to
suited to the solemnity of the occasion, we
hardly know how* to descend to the descrip
tion of the miserable tumults springing from
the disappointment of criminal hopes, of im
potent malignity, raving against just aud con-
hns so richly merited. A Frenchman, named stitu'ed control, and of petty plots, blasted in
Bonhonime for some alleged offence against
the Portuguese government,was sentenced to
a fearful and ignominious punishment, which
was carried into execution to its whole ex
tent.
Other provocations have been given by
Miguel to the French government, by his firet
prohibiting Portuguese pilot*? front going

an instant by his Regal presence.
Prorogation of Parliament.—Circulars
were yesterday, about noon, forwarded from
the Treasury to the residences of Peers, sta-

Royal Assent to the various Bills which had
passed both Houses of Parliament; after

At Warsaw, a grand battle was expected

Yesterday the French Academy was in ses
