Poland 



The brave and unfortunate 



Poles are still suffered to fight 



their own battles, without the 



afsistance of any foreign state, 



and general Ciapfki, who eacSI' 

 commanded a brigade in his arr 

 my J he is of opinion that, had 

 those two officers done their 

 duty, the advantage over the 

 Ruisians would have been ftiU 

 greater. They are in conse*- 



Since our last several Ikirnii- ' quence to be tried by a court 



martial. This action at 



Ihes have taken place of no 

 great consequence. The Poles 

 have been in general obliged 

 to yield to superior numbers, 

 and old disciplined troops. 

 Being obliged to act entirely 

 on the defensive, — as is usual 

 in such cases, the party who 

 attacks has carried their point 

 to a certain dfegree j but not 

 an inch is gained without a 

 well disputed contest. The 

 progrefs of the Rufsians is thus 

 extremely slow. In the mean 

 while the Poliih army is aug- 

 menting daily, and the most 

 cordial unanimity seems to 

 prevail among all orders of the 

 state. 



Private subscriptions are o- 

 pened in London, and many 

 other parts of Britain, for the 

 relief of the Poles ; and seve- 

 ral considerable sums are said 

 to be already raised by that 

 means. But we hf^ar of no 

 public national interference in 

 their favour. 



Warfaw June 30th. Since 

 the action of the 17th, at Zas- 

 law, the Rufsians have made no 

 further progrefs in Volhynia. 



From

what 

 th 



we can learn, it 

 commander in chief 



is displeased with the conduct 



Zaslaw is the first occasion on 

 which the king has made use 

 of the new order which his 

 majesty has created for milita- 

 ry merit. This order will 

 consist of three claffes : the 

 first for general and staff offi- 

 cers, who will wear a gold: 

 crofs suspended round their" 

 necks, by a red ribband j the 

 second for subalterns, who 

 will wear a gold medal with a 

 red ribband through their but- 

 ton hole ; the third for officers ^ 

 of an inferior rank, and sol-, 

 diers, will be a silver medal' 

 with the same decorations. 

 The king has sent seventeen^ 

 crofses and a hundred medals to ' 

 his nephew prince Joseph Po- 

 niatouiki, to distribute among 

 those who deserve them. 



From the motions of the 

 Rufsians Warsaw appears to be 

 the place to which their chief 

 attention is directed j his ma- 

 jesty, therefore, in consequence 

 of the danger which threatens 

 his capital, instead of joining, 

 as was his attention, the ar- 

 my of the prince his nephew 

 in Volhynia, is now anxious 

 only for the safety of that in 

 Lithuania. He has in con- 



of prince Michael Lubomirlki sequence ordered his baggage
