The great staple of our State, Sugar, which promises to become one of the'most valuable interests' of the south, and one of the niostssential and useful to the whole couutry, owes its existence to the policy of the government, and can con tinue to exist .nly by the favor and pro tection of the laws, "and the operation of those principles upon which' the whole sstem isf.nunded. , ' , - . .- ' At-the close pf the war, it became the avowed pel icy to protect the domestic in dustryand. especially the agricultural in dustry of the country, .The people of this Stale conforming themselves to the j views' bf the government, embarked i mense capital under the, faith of the embarked un laws in the cultivafipn-of sujra'r.

Bennett, came un yesterday from Liver- brin"riiijjr advices to the 13th Ma inclusive. PrivVe letters ' from Berlin, by the Hamburg steamer at Liverpool, state that tnere nau - ueen inree aays naru ngniing and the brave Poles had ; been defeated, with the loss of eight thousand prisoners and two thousand killed. It also appears that lien. Jiwernicki had escaped the tlus sians, and has been joined by nine thou sand men, previous to which his army consisted ot twelve thousand men. There appears to be no doubt of the de feat of General Sterauski by Kreutz ; all accounts Polish and German, concur, in it. From the position in which the ar mies now are, a very few days must bring some decisive intelligence. The Standard on the authority of pri-. vate letters, speaks confidently of the de feat of the Poles, and goes so Tar as to as sert that "Warsaw was ready to open its gates to the merciless. and sanguinary Di ebitsch. Humanity shudders and trem bles fur the fate pf the bravest people in Europe. Their means of making good the losses inseparable even from victory, bear no I proportion to tnose of their gigantic op- pressor , uuui me negjeci oi an agricul tural operations, want is beginning to be felt : it is certain that the cholera has capital, anouui they ever enter the citv !. ..... . . - . . . . -I u win oe over me cieau D.Kiies ot I've, in habitants, after atrocities and massacres worse than any of those which called for tlu intervention of the Powers of Europe in the struggle be ween the Turks and Greeks i but, we can hardly believe that those Powers will a2:aiii' look quietly on ; the martyrdom of a people superior in ev- ery point ot view to their oppressors, a ! people whose almost miraculous bravery i and patriotic sacrifices prove: them so Well entitled to freedom. General Skrzyjiecki has issued a pro clamation to tk. army and the nation in which he docs not disguise the difficul ties of their situationut te4ls them plain- fly that their onlv. hope of ultimate success in the struggle lor national existence de- .j pemU on their continued perseverance. He enumerates the r prions results of the campaign, anil comments wirh laudable pride on the fact that though Poland had but at its commencement nii! o-jranized forCei ot 30,000 to oniosato the hordes of Russia, nearly oO.OOO of the latter have been; put hors (in combat and . 16,000 re mainl prisoners in Warsaw, whilst the Poles have taken 11 ags, 15 or'16,000 stand 'of arm, and 30 pieces of cannon, together with a great number of b'.ggage and ammunition,! waggons, &c. "We. can not doubt that his appeal will be met in a corresponding spirit.. On the other.haiid the Autuicrat has ordered to be levied an army of reserve of 150,000 men to sup port the operations of Gen. Diebitsch, and it is stated that the war is highly popular in Russia, notwithstanding the reverses sustained by the 11 issians. ! SIX DAYS LATER. By the arrival at New-York of the shin Hatpilton, llHikt-r. which left Liverpool" on the 14tn M:iyj, lionuon papers to the evening ol tne 1 It hv idem, containing ac counts from Warsaw to April 8, were received. According to these accounts, the great battle Which is, in all pnibibility,. to de cide the fate of Poland,, and tie question of a general warjio Europe, is about to ake place. Deibitsc! l is concentrating his army aroun! Siedlec, & Schrzynecki, nas petreateu upon iviip-sK, where he is strengthening Sviiaself by every means in his power, to await the onset f the ene my, f 1 h.'

Uut we mucli'fear the result. ; The active DWer hickilhas effected wonders in Volhynia ; and the question whether his present reparation from the main, army at this juncture may not. be jeoparding his own safety and that of Warsaw, fi The all-engrossing topic in. the English papers is the- Election, which is pourin in u. maiuruie. in savor 01 ueiorm to a surprising eteit.i .

The packet ship Pacific, Capt Crock er,fwas boarded about sunset last evening fifty or sixty miles from thelcity, by the schooner Journal of Commerce, bringing London papers to May 1 6th', and Liver pool to the 17th, both inclusive. ,:Eng1ish ElkctionS'''1ir Morning Chronicle of the 1 6th says, 4The major ity of members in favor of Reform is now immense. 1 he battle has on the whole, been nobly fought by the people, and they may calculate with confidence ou the she Cess of the bill." .J:!!

At length we have received authentic intelligence from Poland;, aiid. we rejoice ! to say, of the most cheering kind. The Russian Com liander-in-bhief who, some months ago, in the plenitude of presump tion, pledged himself to his master that, by a certain day, he would display the It us jian Ea!e in Warsaw, has again been foiled, his plans again deranged, and, with the bulk of his troops, he has been obliged to fall back, in discomfiture and disgrace, before the jinny qf the patriots. Of the-details of this last jadvance of the Russian v upon Warsaw aljid theSretreat of the Poles, before them, 'we have the ac counts of b ith sides, and tliejy differ but lit tle from each other. As soon as the first movement from Siedlec, which was Die bitsch' head quarters fori some time, de- noteu an intention on the; part ot tne en emy to advance. Skryzneiki despatched couriers to AVarsaw to prepare them for a retreat of the army, and to desire that the place might oe put in a condition to suSr tain a siege, in case the fortune of war should be against the cause in a general engagement. Nothing coiald exceed the enthusiasm with which the news was re ceived. The citizens renewed their as surances of devotion to their eounty 5 and we are told that, in an incredibly short time, a uevv tete-du-pont was constructed at Prago, and a second wall oT protection was thrown up by 15,000 men, which was sufficient to shelter the whole of the pa triot army. The most influential sena tors and citizens went out to join the canp, and every one had reconciled him self to the worst. The retreat, in the mean time, continued, the Poles every where carrying with themthe inhabitants ; Ojf provision which could serve as subsis tence to tile enemy." Upon the27th Skrzy necki has reached the . capital, and fixed Ins head quarters there j the bulk of hi& army was at Milosna, a dozen miles dis tant. In their retreat they appeir to have been grea Iy harrassed by the Rus sians, and at Aiinsk an action of some consequence took place1, in which the Rus stans,'rsay the Pole.-, lost a considarablc number of men j but this is.xlenied by the accounts on the other side. Arrived at Dembe-Wielki, the Russians found that they coaldnot procure evep a kttle strawj for their horses,' and, the Field Marshal paa, mereiore. no alternative, out again to sound a retreat, in which he has been 1 i .1. r 1 . .r ji 1 uursueu oy uie r-jies ; anu- tne last ac count of him is from Monty, which is ba- yond Ssidlec, the point from which he siet but.

The only drawback to this exhl'irating hews is thestatement (of wjiich the accu racy is no longer questionable) of cJioitra ?iwrbu8 prevailing amongst the Polish troops.
