POLAND

The insurgent corps under Zrembinski and Gostowski defeated the Russians on the 20th September at Rydzewo, in the government of Plock. The band of Celinski had a successful engagement with the Russians on the 21st. Several encounters have taken place in the government of Radom. An engagement between the Russian troops and the insurgents, commanded by Mad mil er, has taken place at Same, in the government of Augustowo. Intelligence from Thorn of September 25, states that Captain Tigenstet has defeated the insurgents under Bielowiecki, with considerable loss, near Zuromin, in the government of Plock. The insurgents numbered 450 men. According to advices received from Warsaw to the 23rd September, the government has discovered printing offices and military tailor* ing establishments in some convents of Warsaw i and has resolved upon occupying all the con- { rents. The Russians hare searched Kreuz I Church, in Warsaw. They they threw out the j coffins, defiled the corpses, and stole the ornaments. Ruisian soldiers had also entered the principal Jewish synagogue in the Rue Wierzbowa in that city, during the celebration of religious service, arrested the congregation and destroyed the sanctuary. The Bunk arid Handels Zeitung of Sept. 25 asserts that General Mouravieff, Governor of Wilna, will be relieved of his functions, and ; will proceed to Berlin next month. ' In Poland it is said that scarcely a single I landed proprietor, of any importance, is now to be met with at his post. The majority are in prison at Kowno, Wilna, and Dunaburg, without counting those who hare fallen or who are still fighting in the ranks of the insurgents. Almost all the buildings on the estates have disappeared and the places where they stood aie only marked by heaps of ruins. The crops which have not been trampled down during the combats still remain in the fields waiting to be gathered, but the harvest of the year must be considered as lost, so far advanced is the season. The unfortunate state of the country may be, therefore, readily conceived.
