WARSAW, April 29. We hear that the Russian troops, who have hitherto only been upon the defensive, are going to act with vigour against the Confederates of Podolia, and some people say that great part of the latter are already dispersed. This step is the more necessary because there is a new confederacy formed at Lubin, where a Cossack was lately massacred in a most barbarous manner. In short the whole kingdom is in confusion, and nothing keeps the mutineers within bounds but the presence of the Russian troops.
