VIENNA, Sept. 26.

Letters, and particularly the official accounts from Warsaw, of the 5th inst. give the most ample details of the circumstances attending the retreat of the Prussians on the night between the 5th and 6th.

Various causes contributed to this retreat. The insurgents in Great Poland not only cut off the supplies of provisions and ammunition from the army of his Prussian Majesty, but also cut off the communication between the other parts of his dominions and his camp, in the environs of which the Poles demolished all the streets, attempted to entrap the Prussians in a number of grand abatis, which the rubbish enabled them to form.

In the pursuit, the Prussians were miserably harassed; the streets through which they passed were covered with the carcasses of men and horses.

The enraged Prussians fled like mad dogs, destroying in their way, all the houses of the peasants; so that the places through which they passed are as dreary as a desert.

In their march to Great Poland, they have but a melancholy prospect of penetrating into the country, the insurgents having carried off all the magazines and arsenals, and occupied all the strong places in force, and are firmly determined to oppose them.

If the Warsaw papers do not overcharge their accounts, the King of Prussia is in great danger of being cut off with his whole army.

The insurgents have also possessed themselves of Posen, a city with a fortified castle, which is the centre of the Government of the Province.
