WARSAW. October 12.
To-morrow the Diet will assemble for the fourth time. Their deliberations have as yet been carried on with a tranquility little to have been expected, from the present situation of affairs in the North. The only contested point was, how far our army should be augmented. It is at length determined that, instead of increasing it to 100,000 men, as originally proposed, it shall only consist of 60,000, who, it is said, are to be paid from the revenues of the church. This last circumstance we little expected.
