From the Rrhmo d Eupuiter Oct. 18. THE OPPOSITION. The friends of ihe several competi tors are pla)ing deep enough for ihe stakes They agree in this, that divi tion is destruction that Gen Jackson cannot be beaten, unless the whole opposition unites upon some one man and the difficulties can ouiy be surmounted by "hard and tncessaat, and combined labor But the game consists in the se lection of the lavorite candidate. The friends of each are striving to get the test to withdraw and to leave the fi d to themst-lves The Editor of the Telegraph (the C il Loun paper) is loyal to hi own candi date, bui is evidently on a forlorn hoie He insists upon it, that Mr. Clay ought to be withdrawn or that Jackson wil be elected He declares that he will take Jackson soonei than Clay, and Win befote either but Calhoun i6 his favorite candidate The National Journal laughs at his neighbour, and scou s his pi oposi'ions. Ii rieeiates fljtiy thn. 'Mr Clay cannot. CUght not, and will not be vjuhdraun to 'Mike way tot ai candidate " Most of the Clay papers intimate the same thing, but m less explicit, though in suf ficicntly decided terms The New Yok American seemed to waver a little on first learning the nomination of Mr. Win It fell into "some strange and etrong hallucination,' as the National Journal called it talked of a "pause" and of a certain contingency rendering 'it an act of magnanimity in Mr. Clay to withdtaw " But the great body of Mr Clay's Editors is still devoted to his banner. They are appealing to Mr. Witt's interests, justice or generosity They are persuading him and the amimasons that he cannot be elected that Jvlr Clay i the strongest man lhat it is madness to break the ranks, he. Sec. T iey are pressing him, thetefoie, to withdraw and they are holdmg up the idea, that the anti masons will desert him aid will concentrate their votes on Mr Clay 1 he Washington correspondent, of the U.

I he anti masons, however, remain firm in their opposition Their leading otgaos support the nomination of Mt W irt. The '-New York Whig" re pub lishes various tributes which have been riven in honor ol the selection such as the article trom the Elucidator ol Utica lhat "it is a splendid n mittati -n, and wil he triumphantly responded to by a large portion ol the Amei ican p.opK; that the vay for our cause is now clear onward we go " Such also as the resolution of the anti masonic convention of the 3d se mte district, of Albany, declaring their most heat ty concurrence in the nomination Such, also, as the declaration ol the llarrisbarg Vclegraph, hat ar.y par ty might "truly be proud" of such a nomination; aud that it was the 4 onU full and national nomination, now before the people, and worthy of their united and zralous support."

"the partizan and supporter of : Mr. Wirt, in opposition to Mr Clay and the rest of the world. He has not wail ed for the decisions of the Baltimore con vention, but has put himself in battle array against the National Republican cam dida'e, Henry Clay "But," says the Journal, "the National Republican party will not and cannot desert Mr. CJay There would be no patriotism or mag oanimity in their seconding the nomination ot Mi Wirt." And Mr. Waish de ciares, lhat "neither Mr Wirt nor the anti masons will renounce the rela ion in ivhich they now grand towards each other. We do not believe thai ennoi hasi any mental reservation or arriert fiense." buch is the present arrangement of the battle ground. Each side is attempt ing to unite the rest in favor ot oue man but that man is to be its ovu candidate And what say the friends of Jackson in the mean time? One. or all. we do not dread your votes. Jackson will beat the field We know that one of the mot dscided friendi of Mi Clay in Pniladel phia, but loo honorable to conceal the t uth, declaud the other day, that Gen Jackson would receive the vote of Penn syivania, by a gi eater majority than at the last election. We nndei stand that the vote ol New York is bsond t be slightest question a. d we know it is the ease io v i.gmid v uai ciunce i.us any ol the other candidates?

DETAILS OF THE CAPTURE! A letter dated W aisaw, Sept 8 (wtit ten by a Russian.) says "Poland is a t;din subject to its lawful sov reign On the 5th inst Field Marsha. Count Pjski -wi svhscnt a c onfi Jential cfilcer to War saw, to demand in the name of bis ma jtsty the submission of the city, and to ptomise, on the other hand, amnesty and patdon With an infatuation which can i not be suflicitntly deplored, these words I of peace were rejected by the leaders of the insurrection On the 6th, at day break, the Russian army advanced to storm the city After a most desperate and sanguinary resistance, our brave soldiers, with rare intiepidity, made themselves masters of four i edoubts which lav u;)on our line of attack, as well as the fi st line of intrenchments which surround Warsaw itself, and of which Wola is a perfect fortress. The task, however, was not ended with this; there remained a second line of inticnclrnents, and a broad moat round the city, delend ed by bastions.

He affirmed that the consent of the Diet ts necessary lor such submission. After the most urgent exhortations and representations of the j inutility or further defence, and the disasters w hiohit would inevitably bring with it, the General withdrew at ten o'clock j in the forenoon. Hereupon, three more c ! hears wue granted to Gen. Kiokowicki,'

within which time ne was to announce to

the marshal his final resolution As this was not given by one o'clock, the Marshal sent word that he should give ordeis to attack. Half an hour more was requested tor consider ation, but tf.i also elapsing without a satisfactory an swe r being given, the Marshal issued orders for tne attack. It was terrible, and ery successful, fias of truce was sent, bu; they btouihi only dilatory answets 1 he attack was, theiefure, begun upon the second line of inti enchmcnts, whieh was curried at the poinl ol ihe bavonet. The enemy, who in tfic meantime received reinforcements, vigoiously defended the garder'.s and ihe edges of ihe ditches lowatos the Jetusaiem banier, and even made our ticops give way for a moment; but the aidour ol toe latter revived; ihey quickly scaled the walls of the city , which presented a most formidable line ol dclence The prodigies of valor whieh had aPcady distinguished the two dys were renewed, at d at nine o'clock in the evening the gardens, ditches, walls eve ry thing in short, wese in the hands ol our btave troops Meantime night had set in, and the army required repose uThc ines of intrenchments carried by storm, 6,0u0 prihoneis end nearly 1 00 pieces of Cannon wtre the trophies ol these two memorable days. 'Nothing could now save the city and fhc enemj's army. Both, therefore, im plored the clemency ol the Emperor, and ihis circumstance made it thu Marshal's dut) to restrain the vengeance of the s.'Idicis. which was excited to the utmost by such an tbstinaie resistance To-day out Hoops are in Warsaw The Polish army and the nation have submitted to htit Monarch; the former, in confotmi y wi;h ri.e Emperor's manifesto, is t;on.e to Plozk, there to await his ordeis In souie days we shall be able to give a mote detailed account ol these inr.por umt events The gloriouN success wtiich we have obtained has been purchafced b) severe losses.

'Gcnetal Malackowski has announced to the Field Marshal in Uvo letiers sign ed by i.is own hand, that he leads ihe as my toPlozk with the intention of wait ing ihtie lor the commands of his Impeiial Majesty We must hope that the Polish army w ill persevere in these good sentiments, and distegard the perfidious insinuations which may, perhaps, have been addressed to it The London Morning Herald of the 20th says: The fate of Warsaw and the ruin o so sacred a cause as that of Poland, up pear to cast a general gloom ovei the pub.ic mind; hard and bitter are the complaints against a government, which by a single manifestation of its will, couid have saved a great nation. The latest accounts fiom Paris represent the state of the capital as most alarming; ihe public feeling is raised to a Mate of phrenzied hostility against the ministers, on their policy towards Poland; their funds have fallen from 2 to 3 per cent. In the French Chamber of Deputies of the 16th; Gen. Sr.r. astiani annouu ced the receipt of the r.ewsot the fall o Warsaw, in these words: "I have but very little to communicate to th: Chamber; the news received by the Government has been already pub lished. A capitulation has placed the city of Warsaw in the hands of the Ilus sians the Polish army bus retired into the environs of the fortress of Mod I'm 24,000 Poles alone remained in Waisuw 36.000 have withdrawn into Pouiacnu order prevails in Warsaw." The report proceeds: These tew words wre listened to with the deepest silence, and produced a paintul sensation General Lafayette said: I will not waste the time of the Chamber, but it will be recollected that it has sent pe'i tions to ihe Council of Ministers, solicit ing the intervention of France in favor of Poland, and that after an appeal from me conjuring them to at p the hostile ptoceedings of Prussia. I therefore warn the ministers that on Monday they will have to irive an account ot what they have dune in pursuance ol this reecm mendation. P-dand will not perih, but its fate depends upon the French govern ment, which ought to adopt more Htm and energetic measures, and particular iy w'nh regard to Prussia Prussia, gen tlemen, has given us many grounds for complaint. I will, for instance, ask he Minister for Foreign AfiYirs whether it be true that nc ol his rou: iets funds' ed with a passport signed nv himself, has been obliged to hae it signed also by the Ambassador al Berlin, and has been detained, under vaiious pretences, near ly two months. I will ask t.im if it be Hue that the Polish leirativii had been recommended by the French govern incnt, by the Fngl'sb ministry, and by the French ambassador to ue m dca lion, and not to risk a general ba'tle, be cause events w hich might produce an in tervention in favor of P .land could no' be delayed moieihan two months, and that then Poland might be Bgain reckon rd one of the gtcat European fan.i'ie? -These ivto month have passed, aud

yet I have not learned thai anything nas beendjiie to lecteem this promise I cite this fact because it is a l.ornagt due to the wisdom and good tan Ii of ihe Polish government and of the Generalissimo, who probably have trusted io ibese promises and exeicised the moderation lhat was iccomirei.dcd to them. (Hear, hear ) The Minister for Foreign Affairs I am not called upon to answer any question to duV. General Lafaycttec If the facts I have advanced arc not correct, you may say so at once. In the Untish House of Commons. on ihe 21st, the Reform Pill w disc u n J at great length; anti ihe debate vva adjourned to the following day Its fate in the House of Lords seems to be strongly doubted; wnile the ministerial papers arc again exerting themselves to intimidate the Peers aud to stimulate the zc&l ot the people.
