WARSAW, June 3.

[Extract of a private letter.]

"Our garrison consists at present of 1500 Russians. The camp near Willanow is to be reinforced to the number of 50,000 men.

"The emigrated Polanders, who fled into the territory of Venice, to proceed from thence to France have left that country, it having been intimated to them by the French Minister at Venice, that France could not interfere in the affairs of Poland."

JUNE 5.

His Polish Majesty having not been able to obtain leave to return to this place from Grodno, has demanded of Prince Repnin to inform him, whether he had to consider himself as a prisoner at Grodno, or as an independent King? upon which Prince Repnin is said to have sent a Courier to Petersburgh.

It is now known, that it was Count Kilicki and Anthony Trembecky, who carried off the Crown jewels which were kept at Cracow.
