In the Baltic, we regret to say that our pros pects are by no means so propitious. The fa vourable season was suffered to pass away in almost complete inactivity, and we now know that the boasted destruction of Sweaborg was very far indeed from what was first believed. Admiral DUNDAS himself admits that the sea defences are but little injured. The fortifications still protect Helsingfors, which has not been interfered with, n otwithstanding its courtingattqck by firing on our boats. The destruction of the stores and arsenals was of course valuable, but it was not alone a sufficient performance for the most powerful naval arma ment ever placed under the command of a Bri tish officer. Admiral DUNDAS may rest assured that the people will not be contented unless some heavier blow be inflicted on the enemy. He may be crippled by secret instructions. With Sir CHARLES WOOD at the head of the department, that is, to say the least of it, very probable. But the censure will fall chiefly on him, for the people will not and cannot believe that a Commander-in-Chief has not sufficient power to strike a heavy blow against the enemy, or if that power be withheld, that it is not his duty to resign rather than to remain a puppet, whose strings are pulled in - Whitehall, and who lends his name and character to the improper ob ject of deceiving the country. If something he not done against Cronstadt, we shall not greatly envy the future fame of Admiral the Honourable RICHARD SAUNDERS DUNDAS. Nobly have the French people and their chosen EMPEROR repaid the grand popular ovation and the hearty regal and civic hospitalities that sig nalised the visit of the latter to the shores of Britain. That her Majesty the QUEEN would meet with a magnificent and cordial reception no one doubted who knew anything of Frenchmen and their en- Ilightened Ruler. The history of France is the. history of a chivalrous people, and the character of centuries is not lost in a day. But even we, who by no means anticipated least, have been agreeably surprised, not so much by the splendour of the display as by the depth and extent of the ti cordiality with which our QTJEEN was welcomed. 1 On the Boulevards;in the Champs Elysee, at the Tuileries, at the Opera, her reception lacked nothing that could possibly be desired. It I was enthusiastic and universal beyond pre -1 cedent, at once worthy of the people an d i the occasion, and full of hopef u l augur y f or 1 the destinies of Europe. The grandeur and warmth even of the Imperial hospitalities, signal ii as they were, paled before it. France, no less frankly and unreservedly than her magnanimous 1 ruler, held out the right hand of amity to the Island Queen. 6V/I1 t - LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1855. We are now on the eve of September. The summer is rapidly passing away, and great anxiety is naturally felt as to the result of the operations in the Crimea and the Baltic. The letter front the Emperor NAPOLEON to General PELISSIER, which appeared in The ,un of yesterday, is of a. very satisfactory character, and goes far to prove that sooner cr later complete success will attend the Allied arms in the East, and that there will be no withdrawal from, or inactivity in, the Crimea, until the "standing menace " to Constantinople and to Europe is completely demolished. The EMPEROR requests his general to inform the .t "brave soldiers who for more than a year have 1 .supported unheard-of fatigue, that the end of thci,• trials is not far distant." Adding emphatically, I "Sebastopol, I hope, will soon fall under their blows ; and should. that _event be postponed, I know from sources, which I believe to be sure, that the Russian army cannot maintain the struggle in the Crimea dnring the winter ! " have, therefore, unexceptionable evidence' to show that implicit reliance may be placed on the eventual triumph of our arms, and that, should the defenders of Sebastopol be enabled to ceremonies, cloaking festering antipathies, but a repel the vigorous onslaughts to which they will union of policy and inclination, characterised by a be subjected, they must inevitably yield to the J rank reciprocation of thought and feeling, accom irresistible attacks of famine. partied by loyal action on the part of both The EMPEROR indicates a more brilliant as well a monarchs and people. A union inaugurated in A fitting termination this to centuries of mis understanding and rivalry, a splendid finale to the inauguration of a union that we trust will last for centuries to come. A union brought about, not by dynastic, but by national and Euro pean necessities, and founded on the most endur ing basis a due appreciation of each other's - worth, and of the high part they are unitedly called upon to play in the civilisation s.of the world. A union to the permanency of which we ;are happy to say the womanly virtues and graceful klemeanour of our Queen, as to its inauguration :and institution, the sagacity and magnanimity of NAPOLEON, have largely contributed. A union rue despots of the Continent already tremble at z.trid cannot break, and to which the down-trodden peoplo look_ as to the .star of their deliverance.

A union, feeling with the full knowledge of the contem a word, as perfect as the rivalry and bitterness plated measures for the complete reduction of between the parties was previously intense, and " the contemptuous city." That some energetic likely to be not less productive of good than that effort will shortly be made seems certain. Th© which it supersedes was of evil. That it may be carrying of the ambuscade on the glacis of the so ie our ardent desire ; that it will is our confi- Malakhoff on Friday last, a telegraphic account dent belief. whereof appeared in our impression of yesterday, may have•been but " the beginning of the end." That it was regarded as a matter of vast impor tance by the besieged may easily be judged from the desperate attempt to retake it, in which they lost no less than 300 men ; and the simple fact that the French have established a definitive footing on the o/asis, and that the work has been turned against " the key of their position," must exercise no inconsiderable influence on the result. But the greatest certainty must depend on the failure of the supplies. Hitherto Sebastopol has been exempted from the 'Ordinary fate of a be leaguered fortress. It has, during the entire .period of the siege, maintained undisturbed communications with the surrounding coun tr y and the Russian army in the field, and received all the stores that could be spared by th em. Until the destruction of the granaries at Kerteh and in the Sea of Azoff there was no lack of pro visions—no lesa than 1,500 waggons per diem were despatched from these districts, for the use of the army in the field and of the garrison, and the blocking up of that source must have occa sioned considerable Aearcity in both quarters. In deed the desperate and reckless attack on the position on the Tchernaya may be mainly attri buted to the deficiency of the Commissariat, and the necessity of creating some diversion in favour of the under-fed troops and garrison. The operations in the Sea of Avail* rendered the destruction of Sebastopol inevitable. The struggle may be protracted, but the result is cer tain, unless the Russians can procure fresh sup plies, and render them available, not only for the besieged, but for the relieving . and auxiliary army. We have long felt that, with proper care on the part of the Allies, this will be impossi ble, and the letter of the EMPEROR aff.jrds the strongest confirmation of the view we have taken.

ARRIY.4I. OF TROOPS FROM ALDERSHOTT. This morning, shortly after ten o'clock, the neighbour hood of the South-Western Railway in the Waterloo road was the scene of great excitement, in consequence the arrival of the detachment of Coldstream Guards lately quartered at the camp, A great number of per sons accompanied the soldiers on their march to the St. George's Barracks, as it was supposed by the majority of the crowd that they were to depart immediately for the Crimea. At half-past one the same excitement was occasioned by the arrival of the Scots Fusiliers from the same place. The quarters vacated by the Coldstreams and Scots Fusiliers will be occupied by two battalions of Grenadier Guards, who left London at about twenty minutes to two. __- THE GREAT - WIZARD OF THE NORTH. The public will be delighted to learn that Professor Anderson, the unrivalled magician, who has performed before the most of the crowned heads in Europe, has taken the Lyceum Theatre for a limited number of nights, previous to his retiring from public life. The Professor has added to his store of magical illusions an immense number of new tricks of the most wondrous nature, and we have not the slightest doubt but the evening levees of "his Majesty " will be attended, as they have hitherto been, by crowded and delighted audiences. IIEALTH OF THE EMPRESS EUGENIF. The public will, no doubt, have remarked that the Empress E:ig6iiie has taken but little part in the public festivities celebrated last week in Paris. For this care of her Majesty's health there is every reason to believe th a t there is a most sat is fa c tory cause ; and, indeed, it Q ❑ucen Victoria was most anx i ous an d kind advices to the Empress to obser ve ever y precaution on wh ich so im p ortant a future may i p '4 re k ss n i o n l g vn in tki her t depend.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived at St. James's Palace yesterday, from visiting Lady Marian Alford. The Duchess of Argyll and infant daughter are pro gressing very favourably. The Marquis of Anglesey and family are passing the season at Worthing. The Earl of Westmoreland has gone on a tour of visits in the north, after visiting Apthorpe House, his seat in Northamptonshire. The Earl and Countess of Lucan have been plunged into the deepest grief by the premature demise of Lady Anne Bingham, their youngest daughter. The melan choly event took place on Sunday last, at Lalehan, near Staines. The youthful deceased was only in the fifteenth year of her age. The Earl and Countess of Bective have arrived at the Lodge, Virginia, Ireland, from the Isle of Wight. Viscount and. Viscountess Folkestone have sustained a domestic bereavement by the death of their infant son, which took place on Friday. Lord Blantyre is still at Carlsbad, and is not ex pected home until the week after next. Sir J. Emerson Tennent left town yesterday for the continent. Major Stopford Claremont, Assistant-Commissioner at tho French heal-quarters in the army of the Crimea, arrived yesterday at the Foreign-office, with despatches. The recruiting for the Anglo-Italian Legion is pro ceeding with great success at Turin. The advices from the city of Mexico are to the sth of August. The Government troops were losing ground daily.

In addition to her engagement at Vienna this laity will, before returning to Italy, perform at Lyons and other principal cities in the south of France. A telegraphic despatch from Paris states that General Sir Arthur Torrens was buried at Pare la Chaise yester day morning. The Government has agreed to grant a pension to the mother of Dr. James Thomson, of the 44th, who dis tinguished himself so signally in waiting upon the Rus sion wounded after the battle of the Alma. THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE.—.His Excellency Count Persigny, invited to come to St. Cloud during the Queen's visit, by a direct and personal despatch from his Imperial Majesty the Emperor, left town on Thurs day last, and is expected back at Albert-gate in the course of next week. HAILEYBURY COLLEGE.—By an act of the late session (18 and 19 Vict., c. 53), the East India Company are to bo relieved from maintaining Haileybury College. It is to be closed from the 31st of January, 1858. No person is to be admitted as a student after the 25th of January next. ASH BURTON, DEVON.—The Prince de Joinville and :mite spent Friday la , t in thia town, visiting the far famed river and wild scenery in the woods, on the banks of the beautiful river Dart. A letter received in this quarter (Glasgow Daily Mail) from one of the crew of the gun-boat Stork, which took part in the bombardment of Sweaborg, states that the officers of that vessel, by means of their telescopes, saw the Russians removing the dead in cart-loads. KENSINGTON GARDEVS. In consequence of the great number of persons at tracted to there gardens by the bard on Sunday, the 12th, and the great increase of visitors on Sunday, the 19th, the Chiet Commissioner of Works gave orders that the number of visitors last Sunday should be taken down, and on entering the gates persons might be seen actively engaged in this duty. The numbers given are various, but supposed to be about 60,000. The gardens in the neighbourhood of the band were densely crowded, and the notice requesting gentlemen not to smoke in the immediate vicinity of the band and the refreshment-room was very generally attended to, much to the satisfaction of the ladies, and those who do not indulge in that self gratification. In other parts of the gardens vast num bers of persons were seen walking and enjoying them - selves, and the whole spectacle was of a most gratifying character. There was nothing in the demeanour of this vast multitude to offend the fastidious eye of even a Sir Andrew Agnew. A great improvement has also taken Place in the accommodation offered to the public as re gards chairs and moveable seats. Until lately, these were furnished by one person, were sometimes of a very ricketty character, and the charge was 3d. each. The chairs are now nearly all new, and provided by different persons ; and a notice appears on the trees to the effect that the charge for moveable seats is not to exceed ld. Every chair was let, and hundreds of persons were seated in little groups upon the grass listening to the music, and witnessing the gay scene, which was much heightened by the fineness of the weather. Most of the nobility and gentry and members of the corps diploniatique remaining in London appeared to be present, arid Sir Benjamin Rail was seen moving about in the crowd arm in arm with the Dean of Durham, apparently enjoying the scene. The followipg is a correct statement of the number of persons entering Kensington Gardens at each gate :- 1. The gate near the Palace, south side 2,039 2. The gate near the Palace-gate 3,640 3. The gate near the Horse Barracks 3,079 4. Mount-gate. 5. South-east corner of gardens, south gate 2,671 6. South-east corner of gardens, north gate 7,358 7. The gate on the bridge, south end 2,160 8.

That division consisted of the steam-frigate Carlo Alberto, the Governolo, Constituzione, Malfatano, Be raldo, Guloara, and Tripoli: The cholera is still doing much mischief in the vil lages of Lombardy and the Venetian provinces, and, strange to Fay, this year the situations most likely to be ~ xerupt by altitude, &c , have suffered most ; thus, the small towns in the Varse and at the foot of the Alps have been more severelyattacked than Milan or Venice. Our police authorities, says the Glasgow L ally Mail, have exemplified a liberal spirit in issuing orders for a good supply of newspapers to be furnished daily to the various police districts throughout the city. This ar rangement to COMO into operation from the Ist proximo. TOTNES.—Up to Saturday there were various rumours as to the gentlemen likely to contest the borough, and rdiree or four names of candidates were mentioned. The liberals, however, are strong enough to return a re former, which they will do whenever the election takes place. Monday, the 3d of September, has been fixed as a special settling day for Antwerp and Rotterdam Rail way obligations, Ardennes Railway Shares, and Great Western of Canada new shares, the whole of which are to be marked in the official list. AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE-MARKETS.— The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotter• dam produce-markets state that, although business had been less active, quotations continued to be well sup ,iorted. The letters from Rouen mention that increase] purchases of manufactures had taken place, and that some descriptions had brought rather higher prices. DEPARTURES FROM THE PORT or LONDON.—The de partures for the Australian colonies during the past week have comprised five vessels—three to Port Phiiip, one to Sydney, and oee to Adelaide—with an aggregate capacity of 3,151 tons. The rates of freight have not exhibited any material alteration. STATE 05' Parrama.—Accounts from New Granada mention that the provinces of the isthmus—namely, Panama, Azuero, Verague, and Chiriqui—have been formally constituted into one Government under the Title of the State of Panama, with a distinct legislature, which assembled for the first time at Panama on the 15th of July. On the Panama railway an electric telegraph was in course of construction, and would shortly be completed.

The accompanying extract from the Annual Register, 1809, shows what one of his schemes was, and how it succeeded. At the present moment it may interest your readers, as it establishes the success of his plans on a remarkable occasion, of which many among the public have only heard the name. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, August 27. A. C. "The French fleet of ei:iht sail of the line and two frigates was blocked up in Brast harbour by the British fleet under Lord Gambier, who was compelled by wea ther to quit his station. The French fleet thus effected their escape and entered the Basque-roads. , , where they were joined by four more sail of the line and two fri gates. They finally anchored in Aix-road; under the guns of their own forti. Lord Cochrane was appointed to attack them. On the 10th of April, 1809, a number of fireships having joined the fleet, preparations were at once made for the attack. " His Lordship caused 1,500 barrels of gunpowder to be started into puncheons, upon the tops of these were placed about 400 shells charged with fuses, and upon these about 3,000 hand,granades. The puncheons were fastened together by cables wound round them and jammed tight with wedges, and moistened sand was rammed down between the casks to render it as solid as possible from stem to stern, that the resistance might lender the explosion more violent. LAT N WS MARSEILLES, AUG. 27. The Carmel has arrived with accounts from Constantinople to the 20th. The Sultan has de cided that 25 battalions taken from the Turkish troops in the Crimea and from the Danube shall be sent to Asia. Omer Pacha, as well as Hussein Pacha, was to leave on the 21st for Batoum. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe was about to embark for the Crimea, where he will present insignia of the Order of the Bath to several generals. Ge neral Pelissier, in an order of the day of the 17th, congratulates the army of the Tchernaya on hav ing by its victory of the IGth worthily celebrated the fete of the ELnpror. The Russians, says General Pelissier, have lost more than 6,000 men, and have left in the hands of the allies 2,200 wounded and prisoners. Among the officers who have distinguished themselves the order.of the day mentions Generals Herbillon and de Failly, as well as Colonel Forgeot, of the artillery, and add; that the cavalry under General Morris were ready to have followed up the pursuit of the enemy, but that the General-in-Chief, who does not lose sight of the principal object of the great enterprise in which France is engaged, wished to spare useless bloodshed, after having once more proved the superiority of the French infantry over the vaunted Russian troops. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received the following telegraphic de spatch from Triesta : TRIESTE, MONDAY, Auo. 27. The steamer Calcutta arrived here this morn ing at a quarter to ten, in 127 hours from Alexandria. The India and China mails left Alexandria on "On this vessel, dreadful to imagine, Lord Cochrane, with one lieutenant and four seamen, embarked, and fa voured by a strong northerly wind and flood tide, bore down on the enemy, accompanied by Captain Woodridge with the fireship3„. the 21st of August, with advices from Calcutta of the 19th of July ; Bombay, 30th of July ; Can ton, July 8 ; Hong Kong, July 10. An insurrection had occurred among the San- tals in Rajmalial, iu Bengal. The American ship Lightfoot, 200 tons, has been lost of Saugor. Trade in India was quiet. " The French fleet, dismayed, endeavoured to avoid destruction by cutting their cables and running on chore. " Lord Cochrane, perceiving they had taken the alarm, set fire to the fuse, and, with his companions, took to the boat. " I❑ consequence of the wind getting high the fuse burnt too quickly, so that, with desperate exertion, the heroic little party were six minutes nearer than they had calculated to be when the most tremendous explosion that human art, ever contrived took place by the burst ing at once in the air of 400 shells and 3,000 hand gre nade.. "Lord Cochrane no sooner reached his ship than he proceeded to attack the French ships, thrown into con fusion or driven on shore. " The result of this affair was, that one ship of 120 guns, five of 74, and two frigates, were driven on shore, and either destroyed or rendered totally useless. One ship of 80 guns, two of 74, and one of 50 guns, and three frigates, were burnt by us or their own erewe. In this hazardous operation our whole loss amounted to 30 men killed and wounded." THE TION. ARTILLERY COMPANY.—Sunday last being the anniversary of the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Captain-General and Colonel of this an cient corps, the regiment mustered at an early hour at head-quarters, Finsbury, under the command of Major Barnard, for the purpose of firing a royal salute in honour of the occasion. At half-past 10 they marched to the church of St. Cuthbert, Fenchureh, preceded by their band, where a very appropriate and eloquent ser mon was preached by their chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Cox. On their return the artillery division, under the com mand of Captain Robinson, fired the salute, the battalion forming line in rear of the guns. Since the commence ment of the war the household troops have foregone the luxury of white trousers in the summer months ; on this necasion, therefore, the full parade dress and bearskins forcibly reminded one of the gay and smart appearance the Guards were wont to exhibit at similar periods in St. James's-park. The Indigo crop promises a fair average. Opium is risen. Exchange at Calcutta, 2.12. The rebels are losing ground in the north of The letters from Canada with regard to the harvest state that, although anxiety was caused at one period by heavy rains, the cancurrent testimony of the agricul turists in the great wheat-growing districts of the upper province is that in no preceding year have the prospects of large returns been better than at present. New YORK.—The mercantile letters from New York this week describe little alteration. The stock market was firm, and perhaps more active than usual, for the period of the year, but no material rise in quotations was likely to take place until after the arrival of some of the large supplies of god expected from California in consequence of the incretee I yield of the mines. Mean while, however, the New York banks continued to dis count freely, and the money market was therefore with out pressure. The importation of manufactured goods from Europe was large, but not excessive, and still showed a reduction as c ‘nipared with the corresponding month of last year. The accounts regarding the pro ceedings on the Meeocin frontier continued to excite in terest, and although they were extremely contradictory, they left little doubt that the position of Santa Anna was critical, and that the ?evolutionists in the northern part of the Republic were receiving open aud extensive aid from large bodies of United States' sympathisers from Texas, where the principal arrangements of the iesurrection seem to have been planned. • AUSTRALIA. The accounts from Sydney yester day by the Ocean Chief are only two days later than those received from Melbourne by the India mail on the 22d inst. The impart markets continued to improve, in consequence of the diminution of arrivals, and the impression was that in less than a year the general state of the mercantile affairs of all the Austra lian colonies will have returned to a perfectly natural and healthy position. Provisions of all kinds had expe rienced a further rise, aud would be likely to remain at high rates for some months, especially as the tide of im migration was greater than ever, owing to the accessions received from other countries besides the United King dom. Within the past few days another ship had ar rived with 285 Chinese, ancLa brig had -also been re ported with 61 settlers froni Monte Video, who were to be followed by others. The rate of exchanre on Londou had advanced to 4 premium, and hence the quantity of gold brought on this occasion is unusually large for a ship from Sydney direct. The other vessels known to have sailed are the Duke of Northumberland, with 1,712 ounces, and the Lady Wharncliffe with 1,634 ounces, from Sydney ; and the Eagle, with' 43,979 ounces, from Melbourne, whe nce a l so th e Essex, Northumberland, and Boomerang were'all on the point of early departure, most probably with considerable sums. BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. BIRMINGHAM, Monday.—The above festival, for the benefit of the General Hospital, under the patronage of her most gra cious Majesty the Queen, and most of the leading nobi lity of the kingdom, commences to-morrow morning, and promises to surpass, in point of talent and attraction, any assembly of the kind which has taken place here for some years past. The demand for tickets up to the present time has been greater than on any previous oc casion, and the pecuniary success of the festival is now placed beyond a doubt.

This morning, at a quarter-past '7, I descried the Victoria and Albert Royal standard just above the horizon, about 20 .miles beyond the Nab light-ship. At half-past 7 the hull of the Royal yacht be came visible, and at 10 minutes past 8 she passed the Nab. . OR passing through Spithead, a few minutes lat6r, the 'garrison battery at Portsmouth fired. a Royal salute, announcing: the Queen's return. The Royal yacht arrived off Osborne at abo'ut a quarter to 9. The Vivid was next, following the Victoria and CHILL—From Chili the advices are to the 30th of June. Congress was in session, and among the bills before it was one to establish a bank of deposit at Val paraiso ; another, to form a loan-office ; and another, to facilitate the raising of money on lands in order to their improvement. About 200,0001. had been subscribed for a railroad from Santiago to Talca, and the Government were expected to contribute a like sum. PERU.;--From Peru the dates are to the 11th of July. In political affairs there wa; nothing new. There had been some revival of the gold mining excitement, and several companies were in course of organisation. One party had left for the mines, and an "American com pany" were to leave in about a month. The Government had issued orders to supply them with firearms, including two pieces of cannon, ammunition, proviAons, mules, &c. PEEL RIVER COMPANY.—This company have received advices from their superintendent, Mr. King, up to the 28th May, forwarding Mr. Oderuheimer's third minera logical report, which is favourable in respect to that por tion of the land formerly leased to the Cordillera Com pany. However, at the continued high rates fur labour, it had not been considered desirable to work the ground on the company's account, but rather to throw open the whole of their gold-fields to the diggers on the licensing 'ystem. Mr. King considers that he shall not have any difficulty in obtaining a fee of 31. for each man per month, but rather entertains expectations that a large number of people will come forward. .

Yesterday, 26th Angusf, being the anniversary of Prince Albert's birthday, the Emperor conceived the idea of giving his guest a military salute of a. kind unusual in England.. All the drummers of the various corps of the garrison were ordered to St. Cloud early. They mustered at half-past eight in front of the bridge, all in full uniform, and headed by the senior dram major. • They then pro ceeded to the Cour d'Honneur, and immediately commenced the salute, with which the Royal party were much amused. We read in the Moniteur :—' The number of letters addressed to the Queen of England during her residence at St. Cloud has been so great that it has been impossible to send immediate answers to all of them, but they will be replied to hereafter." The Queen of England has authorised the muni cipal authorities to give her name to the now line of communication opened between the Place de rHotel de Ville anal the Place du Chatelet. The Moniteur says :—" The Earl of Clarendon, Minister of Foreig. a Affairs to her Britannic Ma jesty, went yesterday to the Hotel of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, and had a long con ference with Count. Walewski." The Moniteur pi zblishes a decree authorising a number of person s to accept and wear foreign orders. Amongst them is M. Magne, the Minister of Finance, who h is received the Grand Cross of. the Portuguese on ier of our Lady of the Concep tion of Villa Vico: ga. The English ste: araer Robert Lowe left Marseilles on Saturday with 900 men on board for the East. The steam-frigate Orinoco, and the Zenobie fri gate, have also lei I the same port for the Black Sea with troops and s tores. The Presse d'Oi -I,ent says :—" The 2d regiment of Turkish Cossac . k.s, which is completely formed, has received orders to proceed from Schumla to Varna for embark vtion. Its destination is at pre sent unknown. :ft has been already mentioned that a quay ha of been recently constructed at 'Varna by the Fr ench engineers, and a road from Rassowa to Kust tiadje. The probable construction of a pier to deft rid Kustendje against the heavy weather produced: by easterly winds is now spoken of. It will also a Ilow of the entrance of vessels at all times into the. port, and form a good shelter. The military taut! Lorities have been for some time making very larg ti ) purchases in forage. A great part of the Dobrut, dscha is filled with mowers work ing for them." A letter from St . Petersburg, of the 17th, in the Moniteur, says :-- -,‘ The bomardment of Swea borg has ceased ; the enemy's fleet have returned to Nargen, and 3riat, except a few telegraphic de spatches, nothing- official has yet been published on this event. Fl .om this silence it is necessarily concluded that th f , bombardment has caused great damage, and tha,l; the report to be published on this subject is una ergoing a strict revision. Hence there is abundance of conjectures. The fortifica tions, that is, the • pranite walls of Sweaborg, have, no doubt, suffere 4I: but little, but it seems that whatever could 'll.as been destroyed. What, be sides, is more imi r niant than the tangible damage done to Sweabo. ri; is the moral impression the event has produc, d, for no one now thinks himself secure behind gr: i nite walls."

The Cologne Gftzette contains the following from Vienna of the 21srz :—" The Turkish Ambassador, Arif-Effendi, had a long conference with Count Buol yesterday ; the question of the project formed by the Westera Dowers to transport the theatre_of war to the Danube next spring was the ol,ject this conference. Austria does not entirely approve of this project, and has already made it the sub ject of representation at Constantinople. It is said that ArilEffendi has handed to Count Buol the reply of his government to that note." PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin of the 22d, in the Augs burg Gazette says :—" The last circular of the A.ustrian Cabinet was not intended to be handed to the German Cabinets, but bad rather the character of instructions addressed to the representatives of Austria, as to the lan guage which they were to hold with regard to the resolution of the Diet of the 26th July. This ex plains why it has been said that it had not been communicated to the Cabinet of Berlin. This latter Cabinet has replied in the safne manner, by charging its ambassador at Vienna to make known to Count Buol the contents of a despatch trans mitted to that ambassador. As to the Austrian despatch the contents Of it are as follows Count de Buol begins by expressing his satisfaction at the union which has been arrived at in the Diet as re gards form, and attributes that result in the Fede ral sentiments which Austria has testified. But as to the question whether Austria is completely satisfied with the contents of thb resolution of the 26th July, the Minister declares that to his great regret he must reply in the negative. In the course of the document, Count de Buol observes that in the last application which it had made, the Cabinet of Vienna wished to induce the Diet to formally accept the four points, and that it had re lied the more fully on the accomplishment of that wish, that since the month of December I last the Diet had expressly recognised the four points as an appropriate basis of peace. To this the Count adds that in the negotiations between the German courts the necessity of a union of all Germany on a well-determined programme was several times mentioned. Never, therefore, has a . better opportunity presented itself for the Diet to come to a decisive resolution with regard to the divergent interests, by unanimously and energeti cally joining in the policy of Austria. Count de Buol concludes by expressing a hope that the ulte rior development of events will determine the mem bers of the Diet, in the well-understood interest of Germany, to also adopt on their side the programme of the four points, which the allies of the, 2,1 Dec. still maintain, and on the basis of which Russia is still disposed to negotiate, and to furnish to Aus tria, in the efforts which she may make to enforce that programme, a support which will not be sim ply theoretical." Toss's Gazette of Berlin gives the following as the reply of Prussia to the Austrian communica tion :—" The Prussian Government has replied to the circular despatch from the Cabinet of Vienna, in which the Imperial Government speaks of the resolution of the Diet of the 26th July, and ex presses a hope that Germany will end by guaran teeing the four points. This reply has been trans mitted to the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna, and is to be read by him to Count Buol. The main point of it is the following :—lt is impossible for the Prussian Government to share in the re grets which the resolution of the 26th July causes to the Cabinet of Vienna ; on the contrary, it is very glad not to be bound to the four points, con sidering the various chances to which they have been exposed." THE BALTIC FLEET. DANTZIC, Aug. 24.—The Geyser, Pt, Commander R. Dew, left Nargen last Tuesday evening, at eight o'clock, and, after a very rough passage, arrived here this morning with the weekly mails. With the bombardment of Sweaborg the opera tions of the Baltic fleet will, in all probability, be brought to a close for this season. All the mortar vessels left on the 19th : the Euryal us will con vey them as far as the Belt, and the .Basilisk (which vessel, having burst one of her boilers, is going home for repairs) is to accompany them on to England. Rather an interesting fact in connection with this subject is, that during the late attack on Sweaborg the English mortar vessels alone fired 3,150 shells, weighing 500 tons, to an average distance of two miles and one furlong. No wonder, after such heavy service, that they are now sent home as unfit for further use. On the 16th Admiral Seymour arrived in the Exmouth at Cronstadt, to take the command of the squadron stationed there; this, however, will soon be compelled, in consequence of the continued bad weather, to seek another and a safer anchor oge. Seskar Island is spoken of as the place likely to be chosen for this purpose. Admiral Baynes left Cronstadt in the Retribution on the 18th, and after communicatinc , with the Commander-in-Chief at Nargen proceeded vn a cruise up the Gulf of Bothnia. In the Russian account of the bombardment of Sweaborg, it is stated that, when the fleet left that place for Nargen on the 13th, they had a "disabled frigate" in tow. It may be as well, if only for the sake of truth, to mention, that the "disabled frigate" was nothing more or less than our hospital ship Bellisle, which, being only a sailing vessel, is generally towed by one of the steamers. On 'the 15th six Russian gun-boats came out from Cronstadt, and, having intimated by their movements that they were prepared to measure their strength with any vessel that dared to go out to meet them, the Imperieuse, Bulldog, and Cen taur were orderoil to slip in close and try to cut them off. The Russian gun-boats, however, beat a retreat as quickly as possible into shallow water, evidently in the hope that our.large vessels would attempt to follow ; in this, however, they were dis appointed. The Imperieuse, Bulldog, and Centaur opened a brisk fire upon them, which was returned. The engagement lasted about two hours ; little da mage, was done on either side. The present stock of wheat at Dantzic amounts to about 2,000 1 )sts only. Wheat crops this year are said to be very de fective and inferior. RUSSIA. We have received the St. Petersburg journals of the 19th inst. The Invalide Busse publishes the following from Asia : "In a report dated the 11th (23d) of July, from the camp at the village of Tikm4, Aide-de-Camp General Mouravieff gives an account of two exploring expedititins happily executed on the 3d (15th) and 9th (21st) July, by the flying detachments 9i Major-General Baklanoff and of Colonel Kamkoff. The object of these operations was gradually to hem in more and more the entrenched camp at Kars, and to cut off the army of Anatolia, shut up in it from the provinces it has to • defend, and from which it draws its provisions. " Major-General Baklanoff left the camp at Tikme on the 3d (15th( of July ; took a direction west of Karp, and suddenly appeared on the north side the same day ; diQpersed a body of foragers near the place where the the small stream, the Berdyk, runs into the Kars-tchai. In this encounter two Turkish officers and seven men were made prisoners, and seven Turks were killed. "Advancing then on the Ardaban road, our detach ment, after a march of 50 verstes, arrived on the 4th (16th) of July at the village of BLijny-Djelaous and on the sth (17th) showed itself on the high road leading from Kars to the Sandjak of Ghel, where it succeeded 'in making some prisoners. On the 6th (18th) Major- General Baklanoff rejoined our main body, having ex plored to a considerable distance all the roads north of Kars, and spread alarm in the neighbouring districts, without the slightest loss. " Colonel Kamkoff obtained a. similar success in his excursion on the Ghel route, the only road of communi cation which the garrison of Kars had still open with •Erzeroum. During the movemint the leaders of the vagrant tribes offered bread and salt to our troops. Colonel Kamkoff penetrated far unto the unknown parts of the Sandjak of Ghel, forced the enemy's convoys that were following that road to dispfm3e, and interrupted all communication on the Ghel ro,ed, so important to the army of Anatolia. "The precarious position of Ole latter is beginning to show itself by desertion. Its soldiers not only seek a refuge in the neighbouring villages, but even in our camp. At Kara itself the price , of bread has increased threefold in one month." Under date of the sth (17th) of August, the Military Governor of St. Petersburg has issued the following notification : " On the 4th (16th) of August, about noon, six of our gun-boats, of Rear-Admiral Muff et's detachment, pro ceeded beyond the Tonlboukin 'Lighthouse to recon noitre the enemy, who sent a sizrew frigate and two floating steam batteries against tlil!m, whilst three screw men-of-war got up their steam. "Having let them approach within long range, Rear- Admiral Moffet retired, firing all the time, under the protection of the fortifications. A s far as it was able to be observed, one of the enemy's St t amers received three shots in her hull. Not one of our g an-boats was touched. Before coming within range of t cannon of the forts the enemy's vessels ported helm, am d rejoined their fleet, in which no other movement was visible.
