more numerous enemy.

The Austrian communique dwells on the strongBassian counter-attacks south-east of Warsaw and says that while the Rus aians east of the Vistula and near Lablin are still resisting, they have began to retreat further east towards the Bag and German regiments have passed Ubolm in pursuit.
