POSTSCRIPT TO THE WEEK'S NEWS.
SPECTATOR OFFICE, SATURDAY, Two o'Ceocx. There are several private expresses from Paris this morning; but their contents have not transpired.
From Poland no news has been received for some time ; a circum- stance which is easily accounted for, by the fact that the communica- tions are in the hands of the Russians. Intelligence reached Vienna on the 29th, that General RUMGER had passed the Upper Vistula, at Solce. His previous retreat at Minsk is now looked on as a feint. Warsaw is thus placed between two fires, PASKEWITSCII on the north, and RUDIGER on the south. God help them whom men seem to have abandoned !
The squadron now in the Downs, under the command of Sir Edward Codrington, consists of the Caledonia, of 120 gums; Prince Regent, 120; Asia, 84; Donegal, 78; Revenge, 78; Talavera, 74; Wellesley, 74; Alfred, 50; Barham, 50; Stag, 46; Curacoa, 26; Royalist, 10; and Charybdis, 3. It is to be joined by the Britannia, of 120 guns (recently arrived from the Mediterranean); by the Tweed, of 20 ; the Victor, of 18; the Recruit, of 10 ; and probably by some others.
