violent tampers he had to contend against, ar

LATER \ND INTERESTING.
The shi Pacific arrived at Now York on the 14th,
Iiub biought London paper" to the Ifith, and Liverpool
to 'lit 17di May, inclusive—containing among other in
teresting intelligence, authentic uccounts of another re>
trent of the Ruaslaiia, after an eft'.rt to reach Warsaw
by way of Minsk. The motive assigned by General
Dirhitsch i*, the want of provisions, and the destitute
•into of the coi-mry which ho had invaded. It is ntmed,
positively, that the cholera nt.irbuswas ina.ing fright-
fu 1 ravages in the army, which can no longer contend
against the Poles, who tv. re comparatively suffering
little from diseaac. A b'tter from Warsaw, ofthe date
ofthe lid of May, stales that, in the precipiatiou of hm
retreat, be had been ob’iued to leave 10,000 sick at
Hicdlec, nnd all ihe accounts represent the flight as
most disorderly.
Fru ce, «*r rather Paris, has been disturbed anew,
and appears restless. On the lltb May n public din
ner waa gived, “at which,” says the London Courier,
“■lie most furious cries for tho inmiudiuto erection of n
Ri public weru vociferated, and, as our orivalc a
add. U»aiU to Lout* Pinup was drunk with
Miasm.”
" alter Scott is again said to be dangerously ill.
The Rusaiun rmy, which at the lust pre
vious advices was advancing upon Warsaw,
in again on the retreat. The proclamation
ol’Skrzynecki, announcing the necessity he
was under of retiring before the enemy and
exhorting the Roles to persevere in the r
struggle ngainat their oppressors, was receiv
ed with the warmest enthusiasm at War
saw. Immediately 15,000 men, joined by the
most d stinguished senators and citizens,went
out an threw up, in an incredible short space
of time, n new tote du pnnt, and a second
wall of protection sufficient, to shelter the
whole Polish army. In his retreat Skrzv
necki carried with him all ’he inhabitants of
thu country and every thing which could nf.
ford subsistence to the enemy. On tho 27ih
of April, the mam body of the Polish army
was at \Moh»u, 12 miles from Warsaw, an*l
Ihe head quarters of Skrzyuecki were fixed ’it
the capital its If. In their retreftt the Pole/
came to an engagement with the Russians
near Minsk, in which the Russians say that
the Poles lost, a considerable number qf men,
but this is contradicted on the other side.—
The Russians halted at Derabo Wielki, und
finding nccord tig to his own account the
country so devastated that provisions could
not be procured for his army, he judged it
prudent to order a retreat. The London
Courier in speaking of this event save—“We
are enabled to state positively that the cholera
morbus was making frightful ravages in the
army which can no longer contend against
ilie Poles, who were comparatively suffering
liltle from disease.’’
The Inst account of Dirhitsch is dated from
Mordy, which is beyond Siedh’C. In the
mean time the Polish army had again ad-
vnnred and occupied its ol! positions. On
the Sftth of April it was at K<wtr<yn, and be
yond Siennica. On the 30th it proceeded
still further, nnd the vanguard in tho morning
was at Knluszyn.
The insurrection in Volhynia is represent
ed as having been almost universal, but the
affairs of Polo ml in that country have sustain
ed a reverse in the disaster which lies befallen
the brave Dwernicki. Driven by the Russian
forces to take refuge in the Austrian territo
ries, his army has been obliged to give up its
arms, and in t ho meantime is deterred by the
Austrian authorities.
The intelligence from Portugal is to the 4th
of May. Thp expedition which sailed from
England for th.* Tagus to demand from Don
Miguel a full und immediate upology and re
paration for the insults and outrag* s commit
led against British subjects, has been success
ful. Don vliguel has comp] ed with all the
demands ofthe British government. The of
ficers whose dismissal nnd punishment had
been required had been dismissed and punish
ed, and their names are published in the Lis
bon Gazette, and every other concession and
reparation lias been made.
The French government has also its
causes of complaint against Don Miguel, and
by a letter from Toulon of the 7th of May,
published in the latest French papers, it
should seem that steps are tube taken for re
dressing them. “We hear much sayb the
letter, “of the despatch ministerial which is
said to have brought orders for two ships ofthe
line, three frigates and a brig, to set snil for
Portugal. The news, which has spread
through the whole city, has caused a very
great sensation. All the officers of the

Corn Exchange.—The London Courier
of May 14 (evening) says the large accumu

American Flour almost a stagnut on in

lower prices must be taken. In Barley there
is very little doing, the malting seassn being
nearly over, and a great quantity of inferior
quality remains unsaleable. Our supplies
of Oats are very great, and the trade ex
tremely dull, at a reduction of Is. to 2s. per

POLISH PROCLAMATION*
Soldiers!—The Polish nation trembled^
under the weight of arbitrary power and op
pression. A part of that nation, the inhabi
tants ofthe kingdom called Poland, reduced
to despair, have demanded the exorcise of
their ancient rights. The usurper of our
country has qualified that demand by 'he
name of rebellion, and has brought up numer
ous bntaliions in order to again subjugate us.
At the period our insurrection our array did
not amount to more than 30,001) men able to
bear arms. The suspicious distrust of the
Sovereign has never allowed the establish
ment. in our country of cither cannon foun
dries or powder mills, or any thing of tho
kind. Patriotism has done every thing.
We have now more num* rous troops, pro
vided with arms partly taken from the eneu y
or manufactured in establishments formed m
haste. When in the midst of winter the en
emy came to attack our dwellings, we enter
ed the field with very unequal forces ; iff a
fhort time we sustained some very bloody
combats, none of which have been without
their merits and innmy have been most glor
ious victories. Af er tne sanguinary battles
which characteriz 'd tho commencement of
the war, your confidence and that ofthe na
tion have called me to command' of tny brave
cot.n rymen. Then, proud of a numerical
superiority, the enemy extended his legions
along the right bank of the Vistula,and made
threatening preparations, both by day and
night, for crossing that river, and menaced
us with total ruin.
We quitted Pragn, and ten days after we
had left it", w«* heard of a third victory ; and
already this plan, announced with so much
boasting was entirely d< feated. It has itsi-lf
destroyed upon the Vistula and the Wieprz
the preparations necessary for passing tho
left hank of the former, and carrying with it
dev .elation into our peaceable dwellings.—
By forced marches,its columns retreated upon
the road to Bizesc, in order to pro:ect thoir
menaced line of operation.
“ In the mi an tune other Polish warriors,
after having gloriously distinguished them
selves in the several engagements, crossed
tfiefrontier, the oppression of which long
operated us from our brothers. Their first
sttqjs upon that sacred land were marked by
triumph. Already had Lithuania and Volhy-
nia raised the standard of liberty, and joining
themselves with us, gave new hopes to fhe
Polish nation.
“ Since opening of the campaign, in a
short time, but a time very fruitful in events/
t • enemy has lost more th.n 50,000 tnfitf
of winch Wursaw saw 10, f <M) made prisoners
u ( ,n her walls. Several regiments were
entirely destroyed ; the sixth corps of the
Ru-sian army no longer exists. We have
ti en 11 flags. 15 or li ,000 stand of arms, 30
pieces of cannon, a great number of wagons
and chariots filled with ammunition and bag
gage.
Nevertheless, companions in arms, how
ever brilliant that may have been which we
have so far accomplished, it is but a com
mencement. The enemy possesses a power
increased for several ages past at the expense
of its neighbors ; und its own pride, which
has extinguished every feeling of justice**^
does not allow us a hope of an upitroaching
arrangement. To come off victorious, in a
struggle which we have undertaken with that
great determination, perseverance i* neces
sary, especially when the events ofthe war
require retrograde movements.
“ Tu rendering justice to the courage of
which you have thus early given proofs, I ex
hort you to perseverance. Battles and fatig
ues still await us ; but, full of confidence io
the sanctity of our coffree, we shall com" otf
victorious in the sirugglc, and the destinies
of our coiyitry will be consolidated.
