City, V2 o clock. We have the following account Irom Vienna, in regard to the situation of the Polish army, from the frontiers of Poland: ; : uThe plan of the Poles was to weaken the Russian army by surrendering Warsaw, know ing the Russians would be obliged to leave a large force there to garrison the town. General Szyembeck is in the rear with 20,000 men. in the Palatinate of Sandomir, and by the destruction of the bridges on the Vistula, near, Gent and Ossieu, all the communications will be cut otF ith Russia. Plock is free, and General Romal ino, who has gained a complete victory over Gen.Golowin,and has taken possession of Lublin, is in the environs of Gracow. There is also a numerous mihtia, supported bv 10,' HX) regular troops. Owing to the Polish army still holding out, the Russians at Warsaw are taking every precaution to prevent a surprise from the Polish army." Extract from a private lejtcr from Schilno, near Thorn, dated September P: "Having decided to leave Warsaw on the Cth in the morning, 1 was-roused by the thunder of the cannon. A very formidable attack was made by the Russians on the whole of the line of the Polish batteries which defended the town. The carnage was terrible. The Russians lost lo to 17,(X)0 men. and u.tHX) balls and eongreve ror!;cts. A grrat quantity of Grenodcs and bombs were thrown by the Poles in the Russian camp. The' Polish army is in the best state, and full of animation.' CRACOW, , Sept. 1 5. -Our Courier contain three official reports from tnc Camp of Gen. Roziski, commander of the armed forces of the palatine of Cracow, Sandimir, and Kalisz. One of these reports, detailing a variety of Skirmishes with Gen. Rudiger, proceeds as follows: i ' t- '' "Yesterday we arrived at Kunow, and to-day we were joined by Captain Nieszokoc of the artillery, who arrk v.d from Modhn with intelligence that on the 15th inst. the combined hostile ai my began to attack Warsaw at 8 o'clock in the morning. Two battalions of the loth, and one battallion of the Mb. regiment under. Gen. Sowinski, de fended themselves at the Wola barri ers, where the enemy's attack was most impetuous. The first trenches had been already taken, and the enemy Was already forcing histway upon the ramparts, "when General Rubinski arrived with a brigade and kilfed and wounded upwards of 10,000 men. un the following day, the 7th, Mar shal Paskewitsch summoned the city, declaring that he would plant 250 pieces of artillery against the city. This summons not having produced the desi red tuect, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon the Russians- prrssed forward upon all tomts between the Jerusalem and Mototow barriers, and between the Wola barriers and the Laboratory. Rut the 2Wh regiment of infantry otiered . re sistance .upon every point, and nt 11 o'clock ia the evening the attack ccfcs ed' v ' ; . . . j it u. On the following day the army cvac uated the capital, turough fear that the 6 re which had broken out In the sub urb might spread and destroy the cit Walls t a temporary armistice followe and the enemy desisted from farther Derations.

Government, the Members ot - the Chambers, and all public iunctioiuiries, artillery, ammunition, and crery mate rial of iSeience, nave been removed to Modlin. from whence the commander In-chief, Gen. Malachwoskt, had sent hither the following order: "I have the honor, to Inform you. General, that in consequence of nn ar mistice occasioned by the evacuation of v arsaw, hostile operations have for present been suspended. You will please to issue the reccssary orders, General, observing, however, that nothing that has happened releases us fivm the strict observance of every usual measure indicated by watchfulness. I have also to inform you, General, otn. rvruKowiccKi nas resigned the dignity of President of the National Government, and has now no longer any ofltcial authority in the country. With respect to further details, you will have to act according to the instructions which will be communicated to you by Captain Niezokoo' The enemy weakened by severe loss es before Warsaw, w ill be obliged, if he attempts to retain possession of the city, to garrison it with half his army. So long as the Government is not in direct communication witli the palalinates oi janz, Cracow, and ISandomir, the presidents of those palatinates, and such of the national representatives as happen to he at our head-quarters, will be invested w ith supreme authority.

KXPRLSS FROM PARIS. We have just received the Paris pa pers of Tuesday, and those dated yes terday. Our private correspondents states that there is no truth in the state nients in the French journals that the cholera morbus had broken out in Calais; that any council had been held upon a censorship of the press; orthst the Ministers contemplate an Alien Bill. FOR TUB HERALD M r . C 1 a r k c, , Presuming the col umns of your paper to he equally open to those who wish to advocate the principle of confining our remarks to truth, when refering to individuals act ing in a public capacity, as to' "A Constituent." I will take the liberty, through the medium of your papar, of replying to the communication, which appeared in your last number, over the signature of 'A Constituent." The object of the writer cannot be other than to produce an injurious imprcs sion on the public mind. The truth of i tliis position appears indubitable; when we consider that the most violent opposcrscflhe election of Col Hayes, al most universally concede that the course he pursued to give publicity to the petition of the citizens of the Ea&t part of Parke? for the location ot a imw County, was befiting the representative of the people. His views were undoubtedly, to give his constituents to understand that this subject would ome before the General Assembly that those who are oppsscd lo a division of this County, and formation of a new one, may signify it by a remon strance. I would ask the people of Parke, if their representative would be justifiable in voting against any con stitutional measure, for which he had a petition before him, subscribed by a respectable number of his constituents; and having at the same time no evi dence of opposition no remonstrance against that measure. A remonstrance being the only ev idence of a contrarie ty of sentiment, to be admitted. When this petition is layed before the Gener al Assembly; would yon not blush for your Senator, if he should arise, and aSsertin the presence of that august assembly, that a majority of his constit uents, were directly opposed to the ve ry. bill for which they . had petitioned. A Senator would ask him for the Cvi denceof this opposition their remon stronce. M ould you not blush anew, if be should reply, that the citizens of Parke have already giv en him snfliclent 'evidence of their opposition to the formation dfn new county, without DUttinc themselves to the trouble,'' at this stage of the game, of riding all over the county, getting along Ustofntmes

telling him whal he already knows." Instead of this sentiment being roccired with aclamntions of applause the Senate chamber would revi be ate

with laughter. The President of the Senate, would tell him, that notwithstanding, as much confidence could be placed in Ins, ns in another man's assertion, yef, that bear assertion Could not have weight on their decision, w ithout it being corroborated by n remonstrance, If they were at the same time to consider the petition presented by him as valid. Would not our Senator loose his raputation for wisdom? would he not be considered n perfect novice, if not a M! And yet, "forsooth," "A Constituent'' would advise' him, to place himself in this ridiculous light, before the bar of public opinion ; and would wish the members of the General Assembly to suppose, that the enlightened people of Parke, could be guilty of placing a man In that high station, capable of displaying so much ignorance. Amongst other reports, circulated to injure the late election of Col Hayes, was that of his being pledged to the East section of Parke, to use his influence, for the formation of a new county; which report was endorsed by the opposition. Admitting this to be true, agreeable to 4tA t onstituent's,1 hypoth. esis, all, except two of the Townships composing this county, are decidedly in favor of the formation of a new county they having given a majority of their vote for Col Hayes, and he having to yield his neck to the yoke and bearthe burthen of this imputation to the polls. So much for "A Constituent's" consistency. Col Hayes' reply to the reiterations of this report, was, universally, "that he was personally opposed, though he felt no individual interest in the location of a new county" Was it on these grounds that "A Constituent" presumed ts Come out in the public prints, and assert, that Col. TIaycS was fledged to a party. This Constituent and every other man, who has listened to the public addresses of Col Hayes, proceeding the election, knows that he has unequivocally stated "that he would be guided by the expressed will of his constituents," in all cases. He told them, "the constitution of the state guaranteed to the people the right of instruction, and that those instructions should be complied with." The citizens of the Last section of the County has instructed him. He has given publicity ' to their instructions. It now lays with the opposi rs to the formation of a new county to remonstrate; for without a remonstrance he is bound, in good faith, not only to give his vote, but to use his utmost influence to promote the views if not the inter ests cf 4'io petitioners. Admitting that Col Hayes is personally opposed to the division spoken of, is it not obvious that he would be acting in strict conformity with his declared principles, in complying with the instructions of the petitioners. Any person of discern ment would come - to this conclusion, and no other. v 1 had a conversation with Col Hayes respecting the communication, so often rcfered to, in which he observed, "that he should not give himself the trouble of replying to any remarks, over a fic titious signature; but if the writer would subscribe his own proper name he would answer him if pen, ink and paper, could be procured in the State." Wrho A Constituents is, I know not; but this much I do know, that he was one of the opposers of Col. Hayes' lute election, and now wishes to miscon strue his public actions, and oflcr an odium where it is undeserved. Far b it from me to speafc' disparagingly ' of him, for voting as he saw tit, but at the same time,! shall always deprecate his generosity in impaling lo Col. Hayes as a crime, that, for which a largo portion of the community conceive them selves to be indebted., , , I invite the author af that communt cation, to threw up his visor, that the public may judge, whether an honest, opek Foxr lays beneath it, or wheth er the mask conceals features, on which the indeuablb marks or viu lknce arc traced. iThera ar ra who are of opinion

thai neither the ccnstilulion of thd LTni'

ted Slates, or of. Indiana, binds rtftcsentali.ci to abide by the instructions of their constituents.:- If we admit thuv we must also acknowledge that, the strongest 'of nil obli gations, that hight unalterable sense of moral duty, which should form the only distinction between man, which ulone elevates him above a grade with tho brute creation, and which is his nearest approach to the Deity, would constrain them to bo governed by their instructions; therefore, construe this point as tou may, the idea that Col Haves would not be justifiable 5u voting for the measure, spoken of, instructed as he has been by his constituent'!, cannot bo other : that erroneous. , '-' i That this question cfTcctcd the election so much as lojbe the means as "A Constituent'' would have it presumed) of his success I deny. , If it had nny effect, it was an injurious one, though not so deleterious ' as its propagators would hare wished. This may be discovered without being an ephemcrist." i ... , - "A Constituent" speakes at if he was possessed of considerable informatioa, in relafion to the prayers of the petitioners; and that the people of Parke were equally, well Informed. I will venture the assertion, and.caiiiiut he successfully contadictcd, that uot one man in fifty, knew the metes & bounds of t! le surplus of Parke County, a?ked for by the petitioners, until the. communication of Col Hayes appearedin the Herald. " Since writing the above, I am informed that the "Constituent" is a Courity ofiiccr, from a residence of sever vn. years is the cointy I presume he has had ample opportunity of acquiring in formation. ; For myself, I have no idta that thelimits of our county will he encroached upon for scueral years. Our best in terests, however, imperiously demand that wc should now, and , whenever. hereafter, this question is agitated, express our dissent by a remonstrance then our known, and continued protest may be the means of protracting . the location of tho proposed county; but, ultimately, we cannot withhold the amount of territory over ' our constitu tional limits. . .... I "If the "Constituent" should prc? in passing through the ordeal, he mayr know, that I wish him success, proportionate to the righteousness of his cause j. yet I humbly opine he will be Con3um ed on trial.
