The Maniasr of yesterday announces that the Mi nister of the Marine and of the Colonies has received from Vim-Admiral Brnat a despatch to the following effect: SEA OF AZOFF, MAT 25. Our expedition has perfectly succeeded. The batteries on the coast at Kett& and Yenikele are in our power. The Russians burnt three of their steamers, and some 30 transports and trading vessels. As many were captured. In the evening we entered the Sea of Azoff. The Russians burnt their magazines at liertch, which contained 160,000 sacks of oats, 360,000 sack,' of corn, and 100,000 ache of dour.—Doily News. Yesterday's Mositeur also notifies in its official pert the reception at the Tuilleries, by the Emperor, of Lord Cowley, who, at a special audience, has de livered to His Imperial Majesty the reply of Queen Victoria to the letters putting an end to the mission which Count Waleweki filled at the court of London. In the nonofficial part, the presentation of Special Commissioners to the Exhibition from Belgium, and of several American officers is announced, and the movements of the Kiog of Portugal in Paris are re corded. There is also an official report to Prince Napoleon, giving an sceount of the results of the liberality of the Emperor in offering to workmen: a free admission to the Exhibition on Sunday. Ac cording to this account 105,022 persons availed themselves of the invitation.—Doily News. VIENNA, SUNDAY EVZNING. Prince Gortchakoff has coofirred to-day with Count Buol. The reply of Paris and Loudon to the last proposi- tions of Austria has not yet arrived. Some of the devices resorted to for the purpose of throwing discredit on the Administrative Reform movement are amusing enough. One of the newest is, with a grave face, to call upon those who take part in it to explain what they mean by Administrative Reform. The best way to answer such querists would be to tell them, as Dr. Joutirsox once told a putter of similar silly questions—" Sir, I am bound to find you arguments, but not understanding." Ministers at least, it is pretty clear, have a tolerably accurate conception of what is meant by Administra tive Reform. Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH, for ex ample, so far from affecting not to know what it means, candidly told his Southwark constituents that its necessity would become apparent if Mr. DISRAELI'S motion were carried. And Admiral BERKELEY, without waiting for any such convincing argument as a vote of censure of the House of Com mons, tells his constituents—" I am quite olive to the necessity of reforming, or rather eradicating, these evils"—i.e., the defects of the administrative depart ments of government. True, the gallant Adm'ral goes on to say that he regrets "so much exaggera tion and so many false statements should have been pads within and without the walls of Parliament on such subjects; but it has been the practice of con fessing delinquents to extenuate their offences as much as possible, ever since the dap of the frail spinster who pleaded guilty to the charge of having had a child, but added that it was " a very little one." Another of the devices alluded to is to insinuate, or boldly assert, that the movement is entirely factitious—got up by a few ambitions men who seek to raise an agitation that may carry them into Parlia ment. This imputation may be disproved very easily : let any man take in his hand a list of the chief promoters of the London Administrative Reform Association—the body which has as yet taken the most prominent part in the movement—and go into the City and ascertain their character, position, and relations. He will find that the great majority of them are men to whom Ministers might with the utmost safety offer plats, secure that their tastes, and the immense interests which demand their constant attention, would debar them from accepting it. We may add that we learn, from a source as to the reliability of which there can be no doubt, that it is a standing rule of the Association, that no person can have seat or voice in the business committee who is a member of Parliament, or who aspires to become one, although the co-operation and fellowship of no men, or class of men, are rejected. This "self-denying ordinance" appears to us judicious ; not because we have any distrust of a man merely because he devotes himself to public business as a profession, bat because it will relieve the members of the com mittee from • world of solicitation, which might be brought to bear with some hopes of success upon politicians, but which would obviously be thrown away upon men whe are determined to stick to their industrial pursuits.. But, for our own part, so far from thinking it any objection to the organised movement to obtain Admi nistrative Reform that it is likely to be joined by some who look to it as a means of introducing them selves to a public career, we hope that it may secure the services of many such. The public cannot divine instinctively who the men are that are capable of serving them well and effectively. The man who aspires to become a legislator or administrator must emhraoe such opportunities as offer to show the public that he possesses knowledge, talents, intre pidity, and firmness. It will be better for theeountry to select its servants from among those mbo have won their spurs by legitimate agitation than to take unknown men upon trust beam they are recommended by some influential pates& Aslblis necessarily trains public men.

The body of the British fleet are still at anchor off Oa-plane. On the 20th the Duke of Wellington Wonted from Faro Sund, having landed 48 sick of amall-pox, including their commands—Preedy. Bina her arrival fresh cases have continua to break eat. On her passage here she picked up he Orion and brought her in in company. Arrogart still con tines at Faro ' superintending her small-pa cases on airs at the hospital, and doing duty as alike authority at that port, with the Ajax and Blenheimstill there. The Dragon, Capt. Stewart, had got the command of the gunboats, and superintended the sever that have arrived here at steaming in line, gun-dril, &a., and they were towed up to this anchorage ly Dragon and Bulldog, where they are being renderd efficient, with stores and ammunition for immediateactiveser vioe. Six more are hourly expected to tild to their number. The disposition of the fleet is as yet somewhat similar to last year, this being the head-garters, the screws watching Helaingfois and the moral of the Gulf. This duty has been performed b: the Esk, Cossack, and Amphion—diminished by Imprieuse and Tartar, gone to England for repairs on account of serious damages in running tout of etch other. The Archer and Geyser have been guirding the Gulf of Riga, assisted by Basilisk and Des,erate, and have made some capital seizures, all sent mime upon reference to the admiral, consisting of sone 20 ves sels, filled principally with flax, hemp, bused oil, and rye, which will give the captors some 20,0001. There are a few Russian, and of coarse good prizes. All the others are principally neutrals, and clearly took their cargoes in atter the announcement of the blockade. The Dantzio mail routine has fairly commenced. The Driver has taken the two first turns, and the Vulture conveys this mail. The contract steamers have also commenced their weekly visit from Elsinore with bullocks and vegetables, and right good they are; nothing es yet has gone up the Gulf of Bothnia. The surveying ships have been busy in surveying the northern shore ; and the Merlin, accompanied by Ea ryalus and Magicienne, was engaged ex amining the neighbourhood of " Borgo," an anchorage between Helsingfors and Cronstadt. The commander-in-chief's flag, who is now a regular rear admiral of the white, was saluted in due form by the second in command. A court-martial is ordered to as semble to-morrow for the trial of two lieutenants of the Euryalus Bathurst and Balfour, for giving and receiving a bl ack eye in violent collision with each other. Exercise is moderately going on. Wood is being cut for the distillation of water. The admiral has reconnoitred in the Merlin, Helsingfors,Barosund, and Revel. The admirals keep a dignified and discreet reeseve, and nothing is known of the future movements. At the same time • steady and systematic ping is making in rendering the ships ready anefficient, and even if the strongholds are not attempted the ships will not be idle, but will have all their menaces constantly applied against the enemy in some shape or another, and the gun-boats will be of great assist ance in enabling the fleet to reach every thing as shore. Last year • constant run of vessels ware taking place between Helringtors and Abo on the one hand and Cronstadt on the other. Such a state of things will hardly be permitted this year. The islanders of Nargen here appear from the English money they obtained last year, to have thriven well. Additional huts have been raised, increased accom modation provided for washing clothes; the children look better fed and certainly better clothed, and all seem much pleased at the re-appearance of their old friends the English. I hope in my future communi cations to give some hints as to the likely points the ships are having their heads directed to. THE BALTIC FLEET. matter of stealthy depressing conversation among !the Russian common soldiers, with whom atter all the defence of the Crimes must rest. The march of the Allies on the Tchernaya transpires as the subject of expectation in private letters from the Russian oamp, as early as the 7th inst. The return of the first expedition from Kertch we learn, in the same way, did not raise the spirits of the Russians in pro portion to the depression which it wrought in our men, tar the trip was regarded as a demonstration of our superabundance of fora, as well as of the ease with which the Russian territory could be menaced. The preparations made for the interior and ultimate defence of Sebastopol have produced an unfavour able impression upon the garrison. Until these last few weeks the troops believed their officers, who assured them that the French and English, hemmed in on all sides, and weakened by privation and disease, were really the besieged, and were destined, upon the arrival of enormous reinforcements from Perekop, to be driven into the sea. The renewed bombardment, and the infantry attacks in front of the Central and Quarantine Bastions, as well as the near approach of the French to the Flagstaff Bastion, have dissi pated this delusion, and the mass of the troops have lapsed into moody sullenness and distrust. This temper may not disqualify them for offering a dogged resistance when bard pressed; the severe Russian discipline may dominate it as long as the men are kept in line, even under fire, but rooted distrust knows no elan, and is fatal to that moral ascendancy which, in close encounters, asserts itself by victory. Letters from St. Petersburg of the 18th inst. state that it has become highly probable that a meeting will shortly take place between the Czar Alexander U. and the King of Prussia. The governor-general of the capital has issued orders that no one is to visit Cronstadt, except pro vided with the permission of the superior authorities expressed in writing. OFF REVEL, MAT 2L The fleet are still here, with the exception of the flying squadron, which are cruising off Hog land, and the Duke of Wellington, which left last Tuesday, on account of having small-pox on board, the number of cues being 24, namely lour officers and 20 men. The Commander-in-Chief has gone in her, leaving Admiral Seymour in command. The vessels exercise daily, firing at target', only five miles from the enemy's guns. We greatly tear, if Revel is not soon bombarded, we shall have the large battery coming out to attack us. The officers from the different ships go on shore every day on the island of Nargen, to play cricket and walk about; but strict orders have been given by the Commander-in- Chief that no depredation is to be committed on the island, such as setting fire to trees, or molesting the inhabitants, who are mostly Swedes. Communication is kept up with Revel by means of small boats, but they are not allowed to bring anything from there beyond their own common necessaries, which consist of some black bread, barley, and rye; therefore, the only thing that can be procured on the island is milk. The vessels hired by Messrs. Rued§ and Deacon expect to make a good harvest this year by bringing things for the fleet. They have sent invoices to the different ships, but the charge on everything being 150 per cent. I fear they will be disappointed. It is authentically reported, that on the return of the Commander-in-Chief in the Duke of Wellington, the fleet will go to Hogland, or Nyborg, have a look at Cronstadt, and then return by the arrival of the troops to attack Sweaborg. The season is now sufficiently far advanced to commence operations, and not leave things to the last moment. Such a magnificent fleet as this should not return to England this year with out materially weakening the coast defences of the Russians. The weather now is very warm, the thee , mometer being up to 62. A man who came from Revel last night, has told me that the troops are in constant tear, expecting the Beet to commence operations against the town. Soldiers in disguise are sent to Nargen to observe the movements of the fleet, there fore they know as well as ourselves all that goes on, and every new arrival. The Duke of Wellington, with the Commander-in-Chief, and the noble ship Arion, Captain Erskine, have joined the fleet, which, no doubt, will very shortly move further up the gulf. All the male inhabitants of Hoglund have been taken away by the Emperor to man the gunboats ; and it is rumoured t►at the intention of the Admiral is to take possession of the island, and there build an hospital. It is a fine healthy island, and well adapted for that purpose, Faro being too far away, should any casualties, either from sickness or an engagement, take place. There is a large trade going on between Stockholm and the Aland Islands, and it is thought that on the arrival of Admiral Baines some of the small steamers under his command will be sent to the Gull of Bothnia, to impede communication : the Vulture, most likely, will form one of the 'qualms, baring been there last year ; but it is to be hoped she will not make a second Hernia Carleby affair of it. We have possession of the Bergen Lighthouse, on the north end of the island, wi'h men stationed there, and nothing can pass up or down the gulf unperceived. Max 22.—The Vulture leaves to-day with the moil' for Dantzio ; the Magicienne goes to Copen hagen, and the Bak cruising ; so we are kept going. THE RUSSIANS IN THE CRIMEA. have witnessed has iatrodueed a new ohms of saimilves —mom or less numerous, to the Legislature ► misty popular deluge (to borrow it figure of speech from Prince MeTritzsicif lid Lerd )lAlDerints) has deposited a new stratum of legislatois in Parliament. The struggle for Catholic Emancipation gave us the Sarno and O'Cotirinte. The struggle for Parlia mentary Reform gave us the HTTWOODS, &sots nuns, Bioriinarorts, and HoISHANS. The Anti- Corn-Law agitation gave OS the COBD6/03, BRIGHT'S, KERSHAWS, and BROWNS. The movement for Admi nistrative Reform will in its turn train new members for the Legislature, and supply them with an oppor tunity of winning that public confidence which can alone open for them the doors of the Home of Com mons. We do not merely look forward to this as inevitable; we regard it as most desirable. The talent available in the House of Commons which was developed in the leaders of the Catholic Emancipation and Reform Bill struggles, was simply that of pre serving harmonious action among their fellow agitators—a talent of immense use in the delibera tions of any popular assembly, but which may be possessed in a high degree by men destitute of almost every quality of a legislator. The Anti. Corn Law agitation taught its leaders, in addition to this tact of management, lessons in the theory of commercial policy, but left them imperfectly acquainted with much that the legislator requires to know. The Administrative Reform movement will be an experimental school of practical states manship. To take a lead in it a man must neces sarily make himself acquainted with the organisation and mode of working of our executive government. Too many of thous who have been " pitchforked " into Parliament by former agitations, have shown that it is one thing to be a successful agi tator and another to be a useful legislator. Their utility is the House of Commons has, in a great measure, been restricted to the bringing the senti ments of that body somewhat more into harmony with those of the people than they were before. But men trained in the Administrative Reform movement will acquire habits and knowledge calculated to inspire them with confidence in their ability to take part in the executive council. of the State. The oligarchy will not be able to say of them that they are unwilling to accept of office, or that they are destitute of the ac quirements which fit men to discharge its duties. The Administrative Reform movement will educate " the right men for the right places."—Daily News. Cue Court. OSBORNE, MAY 29.

THE OBJECTS OF THE KERTCH EXPE- DITION. A letter from the Crimes, published by the Journal do Constantinople of the 17th, gives the following rarticulars relative to the situation of Kertch at the moment of the countermanding the expedition. These details acquire additional importance now that the expedition has been renewed and has succeeded : The return of t►e troops sent to Kertch has produced much sensation in the camp. Some particulars which have !ince reached us show the importance of the object of this expedition. Besides the plan of the campaign, the inter ception of the communications with the besieged at fiebu topol by the Sea of Asoff, we were almost certain to achieve other notable advantages. We have learned in effect that the Russians cantoned at Kertch counted scarcely 1,600 men capable of offering resistance to the expedition. These 1,560 men ware set to guard many Rassian vesicle laden with munitions destined for the besieged, also with sums of money forming the treasury of the Russian army in the Crimea, amounting, we may be assured, to a very respect- able sum. We hope yet to make up for our unfortunate disappointment. . . . . Great things are in preparation. All that lam permitted Ito tell you at thin moment is that the object of the new cam paign is to proceed to the investment of Sebastopol by the I aid of large reinforcements expected now very shortly . . . . . . It is wished to eel off the great convoys which the besiegers ars constantly receiving, and to engage, if the Rusiians accept, In a decisive battle up the river of Tchernaya. Sebastopol ones isolated, dejection will seise the garrison, and to that will succeed, we hope, either by good will or by force, the taking of the city. Since the establishment of the telegraph between Paris and Kamiesch we receive news from France before you re ceive it at Constantinople. Since then the supreme direr- tisn of the siege operations has passed into the hands of the French government, which occupies itself with almost every movement. A communication from Constantinople to the Courrier de Marseille, treating of the chances of the investment of Sebastopol, concludes as follows: Our situation for the MOMMIIi is not very advanced, although we always have the advantage of the enemy in the sorties which be makes to disturb us. These sorties are a ruse on his part, in order to engage our attention, and to occupy a part of our troops, while the Russians, having a considerable number of men, occupy themselves with forti fying the points by which we are able to disturb them. Thus they have fortified, in an almost incredible manner, the river Tchernaya. Aecording to all probability, the siege of Sebastopol will be momentarily suspended, and when allow reinforcements have arrived we shall dispose them over as much space as possible, so as to intercept the communication., and make a diversion behind, in order to endeavour to drive out the Russians from their formidable intrenchments. In case of moms our position will be magnificent ; in &contrary event, we shall be compelled to retire into our intrenchments. We shall always have the means of victualling our army by the sea, and, in case of necessity, can find a refuge at Ka =leech, now a formidable place. It is difficult, however, to believe such an extremity possible. THE FORTIFICATIONS OF Ina note relative to the above fortifications, the Momiteur of yesterday states that the Emperor called the attention of the Oeneral•in-Chief to the subject at the commencement of this year, bat the rigour of the season and more pressing exigencies did not permit of the great labour necessary. Very soon, however, the works will be completed. " La miesch is from this time," says the Moniteur, " a French port, the importance of which must increase with the progress of the operations of the war in the Crimea." A correspondent of the Independance Beige asserts that Kamiesch will be garrisoned by 20,000 men. Its position is said to be so formidable as to resemble another Gibraltar. Constantinople, according to this authority, will have a garrison of 40,000 men. Varna, Adrianople, and Gallipoli will be similarly occupied. Masters, thus, of excellent positions, inimical to the commerce of Russia. the Allies would be able to wait tranquilly and without ism sacrifices, until Russia consents to pesos." Ths latter remark will excite some amusement. PIEDMONT. The law for abolishing religious corporations in Piedmont, as amended by the Senate, was accepted by the Chamber of Deputies on the 28th inst., by a majority of 72. A serious disturbance occurred at Vigevano, Pied mont, on the 20th, occasioned by a procession in honour of the Immaculate Conception, which was re ceived with disapprobation by a large portion of the population. To groans and hisses succeeded missiles of the softer kind, whereupon the members of the procession, who, it seems, bad been informed of the intended demonstration, drew heavy bludgeons Without falling into the fond error of underrating a newly defeated adversary one may entertain the conviction that after all that we have lately heard of the efficiency of the Russian army is the Crimea, and after months of downright strennowt exertion on the part of the Czar and his generals, that army is i n I no better condition to encounter the battalion* of 1 France and England under the ordinary renditions of warfare than when it first encountered them on the Alma.

SPAIN. The subjoined telegraphic despatches relating to the military revolt, are of older date ithan that we published yesterday. This movement may lead to very important results, the more so u the Carlist party will have the zealous and interested support of 'Le entire Spanish clergy, whom the government has alienated by the bill authorising the sale of church property. The telegraph announces: " Madrid 27th.—Tue insurgeut soldiers and some peasants of Aragon who had joined them have been Idemoralised by the march of Queen's troops on Daroca. The Cortes will to-morrow discuss the bill relative to the extended powers demanded by the government. The cholera has sensibly decreased in this capital." " Madrid, 27th, Evening.— A part of the insur gents of Saragossa have been put to the rout by the inhabitants of Semper. The other insurgents, to the number of 130 infantry and 40 cavalry, who had marched on Calatayud, are pursued by eleven columns of the Queen's troops. Maestrazzo has been de clared in a state of siege." . The Espana of the 23rd states, on the authority of letters from Rome, that the Papal Court considers the carrying into effect of the bill for the sale of ecclesiastical property a violation of the concordate, and that it consequently contemplated breaking off relations with Spain and publishing protests against 'the measure. A letter of the 24th, which has been received in advance of the regular mail, states that the Captain-General of Saragossa, having gone in pursuit of the cavalry soldiers of the garrison of Sara gossa who revolted, tell in with them at Almacen, but that they took to Sight as fast as they could. He was, however, in hopes of overtaking them. Some of the insurgent soldiers of Catalonia had gone in the direction of Moncayo, and the others in that of Carinena. The government was sending off troops to Aragon, and amongst them were some battalions of infantry and a regiment of cavalry from the gar rison at Madrid. In Navarre there was nothing new ; the Captain-General of that province had formed the troops at his disposal into three columns —one to defend his own territory, and the other two to proceed to Aragon. The cry of the Carlist bands is " Vive la Religion : death to heretics." THE ANGLO-SWISS LEGION. A letter from Berne of the 24th, in the Post Ampt Gazette, says: "The recruiting for the Anglo-Swiss legion is going on with great activity. A number of recruits are found, particularly in this city and neighbourhood, where there are many young men out of employment, and who desire nothing better than to enter a foreign service. Seven workmen from one establishment have left together for See ' stadt, the place of rendezvous. 1,100 recruits have already left for that place, and it is probable that the 3,000 Swiss calculated on will soon be enrolled."

A correspondent sends us the following particulars of the military experience et Sergeant James Hill, of de 23rd Regiment, a gallant Scot who has just belt Fon Pin General Hospital. This brave, determined man escaped unhurt amidst the terrific shower of round, Minie, 24 and 32 pound shot, Intl within six yards of a battery, when one catered the loll! part of his body, injuring his hip bone, lo3ging is nth direction, where it is for ever likely to romain. After the restful wound, Hill raised himself up, and firing three Malt rounds, fell from exhaustion on the body of a dew Russia. Captain Chaster fell by his side; Hill says bf him, "s braver man never wore a sword." Sergeant Hill reviving, undid his pack, put on bin great coat, and folding ha blanket tightly round him, commenced rol:ing down the rugged and precipitous hill of Alma; having in this manner promoted some yards, while recovering his breath, sad looking round on the dead and wounded, he observed a wounded Russian sternly surveying him; Hid returning the compliment, was surprised and disgusted on seeing him deliberately bring round the mewls of his gun, feel in his pocket for a cap to shoot Hill ; fortunately he bad none,upon which the sergeant hastily disengaging hissed from his blanket and raising himself on his knees shot the fel low. Hill reloading (for, as he observed, I meant to live), ltd again folding his blanket round him, re-commenced his row tory movement until he reached the river, where making ad cf his gun as a crutch he tried to ford it, bus from inability must have been drowned had not three of the fourth dmo sine kindly assisted in placing him on the oopcsite hank the river. Here, strange to say, Sergeant Hill saw ams of his own regiment, and calling him, asked what he ni about ? His reply plainly proved him to be a skulkel— and Hill asked him to carry him to a stack of stay a hay he could see at a little distance. The man wells he could not ; and added, What shall I say when I gel back to my company ? What ! (said Hell)—say test you are a coward, and I'll wont you as one. Upon wine] the man carried the bleeding sergeant, where laying 4,, r , he faints... After much Buffering Sergeant Hill found him• self in the hospital at Scutari, where he says, " be coalit easily have died," but the same undaunted spirit postmen him, and the thought of again seeing his wife gave him sue ? fortitude, that he repented, " was determined to live.' The enthusiastic, and at the same time truly grateful manner, in which Sergeant Hill speaks of the kindraus , attention, and sympathy of Miss Nightingale to him—av deed to all—entails upon every admirer of female devoted ness a debt of homage. Sergeant James Hill entered Fort Pitt Hospital is nusry, being amongst the first arrivals from the seat of wet. where he has been up to the present time, during . I ' lll period attempts have been made to extract the ball, tot without success. He has also undergone a most enuca operation, the taking up the externs] iliac artery, bulb' hoe manifested teroughout the came noble spirit, and abound; with gratitude. He has lett Fort Pitt for Edinburgh, site", he re.lons on presenting himself, and the silk handkereta i (suede by the Princess Alice) be received from her lice! Gracious Majesty the Queen, to hie anxious wife. Sergeant James Hill is an ornament to his profesuA pattern to every soldier. Long may he live.
