While everything goes on satisfactorily in the Crimea, the Baltic fleet maintains the same de plorable inactivity for which, with one brief excep tion, it has achieved so unhappy a notoriety during the present season. It is true that it keeps the Russian navy skulking under the guns and bat teries of Cronstadt, afraid to display its blood stained flag in the waters of what was once a Russian lake. But a much smaller force would have been quite sufficient for that purpose, and if that was all that was intended a very consider able expense might have been !Tared to the coun try. The partial bombardment of Sweaborg, and • the destruction of Government stores, merely proved how much more might have been accom plished with suitable preparation, and agreater display of zeal and energy. As it was, the work was only half done. Helsingfors, which lay completely at our mercy, was altogether spared. The Russian Government was thus enabled to publish mendacious accounts respecting the alleged failure of our enterprise, and, thereby, to cast a certain amount of discredit on a branch of the public service, on which Britons have especially prided themselves, and, until the present War, with great reason ; for although the honour of the Union Jack has not been in any degree tar nished, it has not been at all advanced during the present conflict. The capture of Bomarsund was, unquestionably, a brilliant operation ; but a large portion of the laurels were justly earned by the land troops of our Imperial Ally ! The triumph did not by any means belong exclusively to the Navy. We do not by any means desire to cast any censure on the officers or men actually engaged I Perhaps no persons throughout the United Kingdom have more bitterly repined at th e compulsory inaction, or been more earnestly de sirous of affording incontrovertible evidence that British sailors have not in any degree degenerated. Whenever an opportunity was!afforded they did their work bravely and efficiently. There was no falling off perceptible. And, if they were kept at a safe distance from the batteries, it was not from any lack of an anxious desire to be let at them. All the deficiencies may be accounted for by orders from Whitehall, or the lack of the materials for carrying their bombardments to a successful ter mination ; and it is by no means improbable that the falling off may be more correctly attributed to the former than to the latter. This opinion is powerfully corroborated by the otherwise un accountable sparing of Helsingfors—a matter even less justifiable than the similar leniency to Odessa, which has already been so severely criticised in this country. A letter from an officer on board the Baltic Fleet, and actually before Sweaborg, which we copy in extenso, shows so clearly how this great work might have been accomplished as to carry with it complete conviction to every un prejudiced mind. There would have been but little, if any danger in the attempt—a matter which seems to enter more seriously into the cal culations of the present race of British Admirals than of those of " the good old times" when GEORGE the Third was King. The chance was., however, disregarded ; and the " gigan tic barrack" for forty thousand Russian sol diers, the capital of Fijand, still remains unscathed by hostile fire. We commend this docu ment to the notice of the community. It is well well worthy of perusal : " Her Majesty's steamer , off Sweaborg, Set " If he (Admi ra l Dundas) had wished to destroy Hel. 1 singfors, he might have done so with impunity by f placing half-a-dozen mortars behind an isladhit them, the town. No shot from guns could possiblya milea and mortars, if they returned the fire, wo a u v lc e i have l been doing so in the dark, as our mortars would have been ea screened from them by the trees of the island, which we should have fired right over and could scarcely miss a town about a mile each way , " The opinion in the fleet is that it ought to be destroyed, as it is little mcre than a gigantic barrack for about 40,000 men." At the Black Sea, too, the squadron has not participated as largely in the honours arising from the destruction of Sebastopol as we had antici pated. Nothing could have been better than the operations in the Sea of Azoff, so far as they went. But why has Odessa still escaped with impunity ? Why has Nicolaieff remained unvi sited ? New vessels are, it appears, in course of construction to replace those voluntarily sunk in the bay of Sebastopol, and yet nothing has been done. The CZAR, it is said, i s to pass from Moscow to the South, and to visit Odessa, Nicolaieff, and other towns on the Dnies ter, the Bug, and the Dnieper. Why should not Sir E. LYONS be in attendance to give 'him a warm reception, with a guard of honour of British seamen and marines, and with an illumination, consisting of the burning of arsenals and stores of the stronghold on the Bug, which, now the.t Sebastopol has fallen, may be made another " standing menace against Constantinople." Once mole, then, we earnestly and emphatically demand that the British Navy may be permitted to do its duty ; and we strongly recommend to Lord PALMERSTON a searching inquiry into the instructions communicated by the First Lord of the Admiralty—the brother-in-law of the pro- Muscovite Earl GREY, the henchman of the advocate for the adoption of the Vienna propo sitions—the Sir CHARLES WOOD who has botched and mismanaged every department over which he had any control, and seriously injured every Ministry with which he was connected. It is said that Dr. EssroN and Mr. SULLIVAN, who were captured under such atrocious circum stances, at the time of the too notorious Hango Massacre, have just been liberated in an exchange effected at Odessa. We may, therefore, speedily hope for full and trustworthy information respect ing that infamous outrage against the law of na tions and humanity. Hitherto we have only re ceived the testimony of interested witnesses, of the accomplices and participators in the crime, of men who were anxious to get rid of its worst features, and to find some shadow of an excuse for their own unmitigated guilt. The letter of Lieutenant GENESTE was too carefully revised to render it perfectly acceptable. That the gallant and greatly ill-used officer told " the truth" we are perfectly convinced—we at least cast no imputation on his veracity. But, unfortunately, he could not tell the " whole truth," and the stubborn pertinacity with which the demand for his liberation was re jected by the Russian Government went far to show that the revelations that might be made were greatly dreaded. Russia has in many re spects greatly disgraced herself since the com mencement of her unwarranted aggression on her inoffensive neighbour. The brutal massacre at Sinope will remain an indelible blot on her escutcheon ; but no act in which she has ever been engaged during the whole of her dark career, since the inauguration of the policy of PETER and of CATHERINE, merits deeper execra tion than the murder of a number of unarmed sailors while engaged in an act of mercy to the countrymen of the bloodthirsty assassins, and under the sacred protection of a flag of truce, which the greatest barbarians had previously re spected. It is not merely the parties actually present who are implicated. The Government, by sanc tioning and justifying the crime, have made it their own. The blood of the murdered men stains the ermine of the AUTOCRAT, as well as the hands of his Ministers and the wretched mis creants who hoped to acquire rewards for their exceeding infamy. None can be exonerated from the consequences of the direful offence, and an avenging Nemesis will exact heavy retribu tion for the frightful tragedy, which must not be forgotten, when the accessories after the fact come as humble suppliants for the mercy which they so wholly disregarded, and for the restoration of the Peace which they so wantonly and recklessly violated. Great is the power of great guns. Music, right, humanity with their varied eloquence, and diplomacy with all its subtle wiles, are not to be compared with them in persuasive might. Music will charm the venomous serpent, and soothe the excited passions of savages. At the voice of right the wrong-doer has been known to cease from his career of wrong and endeavour to make restitution. The groans wrung by torture from his victim have moved the oppressor to pity, and diplomacy counts among its triumphs what none of these agencies could effect. But neither music, right, humanity, nor diplomatic wiles can turn a bilious despot from his purpose. None of them, nor all of them together, with blue pill to boot, is the peristaltic persuader for him. He turns from them in dis dain and goes on as before. His charmer, his peristaltic persuader, is to be found in great guns. Of the truth of this fact in natural history we hsve just received a striking exemplification. That wretched Bourbon. King BOMBA, whose subjects have long been the sport of his police minister and out-throat myrmidons, who have so continually dogged the steps of every honest man in Naples, and hung upon his lips for occasion to pounce upon and deal with him that life became a bur den, and who have imprisoned and administered the bastinado to whom they listed, until Naples became a hell, had no ears for the complaints of his outraged subjects. Vainly might they attempt an appeal to his tender mercies, or invoke the arm of justice on their behalf. Shut up in his palace brooding over his own thoughts, no cry however pitiful, no appeal however heart-wrung, could reach him, or, if it did, met with no merciful response, but rather incited him to fresh wrong. What were justice and humanity to a King by Divine right ? What charm was there in their eloquence for him ? Better Naples were decimated than that his will should fail to be supreme, R uss ia to be beloved, and his Throne secure. Equa lly powerless were the execrations of Eu e rope. Th e anointed King of th e T wo Sicilies, hi s career by the clam ours o f revolu tionists, or the remonstrances of states seeking the downfal or humiliation of his fast ally, R as _ sia The notion was monstrous. They should see what effect their clamour had insulted, i o n nh l im e ! ,and and Europe saw the flag of b En ass g a l a d n o d r a o l u t s r t a a g fr e , d in an the d b personoth ins n o I f t n a e n d o f o h u e t r r a a g m e: and appeal for satisfaction followaepdobloygy. whatwa was equivalent to a denial of oven an and a B Diplo macy—an Austrian Archduke even, n Aus trian fleet to boot—had no effect on King BomA. Words, after all, were but words, whether from the lips of subjects or diplomatists, and the taAus trian guns were only charged with blank cart ridge.ha King BOMBA was a greater King ever ! All at once, however, a rumour made its way through the intricacies of the royal palace, and reached King BOMBA'S ear. France and England were not so hard put to it in blockading and bombarding the Russian ports but they had a captain and a ship or two to spare for Naples, and these powers to whose forbearance he owed his ability to play the tyrant had determined to send them. The valiant despot was seized as with an ague--the great guns, as they sped to Naples, began to operate, and King BoMBA, that had set justice, humanity, counsel, and appeal at nought, had turned with derision from the exe crationS'of Europe, and bearded in insolent defi ance her greatest powers, was persuaded to be gracious. France and England were offended -were they ? France and England should have ample apologies and satisfaction made to them. His Minister of Police, he was a good, useful ser vant, to be sure, and stuck at nothing to serve him—if they required it, why even he should pack. The apologies were promptly framed, and the satisfaction eagerly offered, and the Ambassa dors being inexorable, M. MAZZA, Director of the Secret Police to his Majesty of the Two Sicilies, has been dismissed, chattering and grinning spite fully, like the baboon he is, to his native haunts, there to crack the nuts of disappointment. King BOMBA can now listen to reason, and is prepared to join the Cruelty to Animals and Peace Socie ties. Great is the power of great guns—on the seas as at Sebastopol ! Why were they not tried before ? THE _SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING,SEPTEMBER 20, 1855, ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Mr. William Cooke, the successful caterer for local novelties, has not lost the chance presented by the late glorious triumph of the Allied Forces in the Crimea. On Monday next we are to have " The Fall of Sebastopol," embracing all the leading features of recent events as each occurred. They have been put into dramatic shape by the popular author of " Alma," who has only been waiting for the fall of the doomed city. The whole will be produced on a scale of grandeur and extent never before Witnessed in England. 300 soldiers will take part in the grand attack. We will attend on Monday, if room can be found, to report progress of the siege. ROYAL CITY OF LONDON THEATRE. Messrs. Johnson and Nelson Lee return to their quarters for the winter campaign. Daring the summer they have been busily employed in selecting pieces abounding with effects, and have succeeded in engaging a company of favourite artistes which will enable them to carry out their views in a manner worthy their high reputation as managers. Mr. Charles Pitt, the distin guished tragedian, is their leading actor. He makes his first appearance on the opening night, Monday, October the Ist, and a Mr. Delafield, from the provinces, who ap pears far the first time before a London audience. We heartily wish them a successful season. WEST COAST OF AFRICA. PLYMOUTH, Sept. 19.—A letter, dated Gambia, Aug. 21, states that in the affray which occurred in July the number of natives killed was 500, and not 1,500, as pre viously stated. The Governor and Council have pre sented a vote of thanks to Capt. Villeneuve for his valu able assistance on that occasion. The rebels have retired to a stockaded town called Burfort, about seven miles from Cape St. Mary's. Owing to the rains and to the very small force (about 120 men) at the disposal of Col. O'Connor, no offensive movement can be made yet. It is, however, in contemplation, immediately after the rainy season is over, to march in orce against the two princi pal strongholds of the rebels—viz., Burfort and Cunjo, and endeavour to destroy them. To obtain success, about 400 marines and blue-jackets from the squadron will ba required. The French have promised to furnish 200, and, with these and the soldiers of the West India regiments now on the coast, a blow could be struck against the rebels such as they would not soon re cover, and by it a moral effect would be produced on others who might else be inclined to hostilities. Unless this is done it is the opinion of persons of experience that the colony can scarcely be considered safe. Fever in a mild form has shown itself in the garrison, only one officer being fit for duty in Bathurst on the 21st of Au gust. Governor O'Connor has detained the steamer Myrmidon. She is lying off the Cape in a position to afford great assistance in the event of an attack. It might be good policy if the Commodore on the station would order a ship of war to visit Gambia every month or six weeks. The arrival of a vessel of that description now creates quite a sensation. Without orders from the Government nothing definite will be decided upon. The mail due on the 7th of October may probably have the necessary instructions. Her Majesty's brig Ferret was hourly expected from Sierra Leone, having left on the 17th inst. FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS IN BRIGHTON. ( From the Brighton Gazette.) The Earl and Countess of Bosse, who have recently experienced a family affliction, in the loss of their son, the Hon. W. Parsons, purpose leaving 27, Brunswick terrace, this day, for Ireland.

Viscountess Dungarvon and the Hon. Miss Boyle, who have been staying a few weeks at the Norfolk Hotel, intend quitting the hotel this morning for the metropolis. Lady Noel Byron, widow of the late poet, is among the latest arrivals at Pegg's Royal York Hotel. We believe her ladyship is in treaty for Sillwood House. Azimullah Khan, the Indian Prince, who had been so long resident in Brighton, to which place he was much attached, took his departure on Tuesday, from Tamworth House, for Marseilles, en route to India. Lady George Paulett arrived on Tuesday at 20, Upper Bruns wick- place. Lady Massey has taken her departure from 17, Lower Rock-gardens.

We are sorry to announce the premature demise of Miss Augusta Fitzclarence, only daughter of the late Lord Frederick Fitzclarence. The melancholy event took place on Taesday at the Countess Dowager of Glas gow's residence in the Island of Cumbrae, N.B. On Monday Sir Archibald and Lady Alison enter tained a distinguished party to dinner at Possil House; Glasgow, comprising the Duke of Argyll, Prince Lucien Bonaparte, and the Count and Countess Campello. the Lord Provost, Lord Wrottesley, Sir Michael and Lady Octavia Shaw Stewart, Sir Roderick Murchison, Col.

She has been chartered by the French Government to carry troops to the Crimea, and as soon as her compasses are adjusted she will proceed direct to Mar seilles. ACCIDENT AT THE HAYDON-SQUARE RAILWAY STATION. —An accident, which has every appearance of a fatal termination, occurred yesterday at the Haydon-square junction of the North London line, to Thomas Perry, a plate-layer, in the employment of the company.

In this case no blame whatever can justly a tt ac h to the . management of the company. It appears that the ex press train arrived at Dieting at 9.30 p.m., and had to stop on the main line until the Glossop train, due at 9.35, with passengers for both up and down trains, ar rived. This Glossop train did not arrive until eight minutes after its time, when the passengers were separ ated from both trains, and an ordinary nine o'clock train from Manchester made its appearance, and whistled, the distance and platform signals having been on for twenty minutes. When this train stopped at the platform, three persons, a female and two men stepped out before the tickets were collected, upon the stone battlement, and and were precipitated over the viaduct wall—a fall of upwards of 100 feet.

An inquest was held on the bodies yester day. EAST INDIA HOUSE. The statue of the late Duke of Wellington, executed in white marble, by Mr. Matthew Noble, occupies its final resting-place among those of several other heroes and statesmen which decurate the old hall of this build ing. To say merely that this statue bears comparison with the other works of art by which it is surrounded would be to underrate it greatly, because they are spe cimens of a style of sculpture deservedly past; and as we now aim at better things, it would be more just to assert that this whole-length portrait of the great cap tain deserves to hold a prominent position among the best of those things, as a worthy representative of the progress to which modern sculptural art has attained at the present day. The attitude is easy and graceful, the right hand holds a telescope, and behind, at the feet, part of a cannon is seen, which serve to indicate the military attributes of a soldier and a commander ' • and the position of the head is so expressive of thougkt as to illustrate the administrative capacity for which the Great Duke was so remarkable. The tranquillity of the features is equally appropriate, and assist in supporting the latter intention. They are characteristic of the famous original, and although they are chiselled in a bold and an expressive manner, they are not so over wrought as to disturb the harmony of the general ef fect, but are nicely composed to convey the idea of re flective occupation, and suggestive in themselves of natu ral and life-like motion. The erection of this statue was decided by a vote which was passed at a general court of the East India proprietors, as a mark of respect towards the illustrious deceased, as a testimony of their estima tion of the services rendered by him in the East, and as a record of their veneration for his memory. Mr. Matthew Noble was the sculptor chosen by the East India proprietors to carry their wishes into execution. This artist being aware, no doubt, that it would be im proper, if not impossible, to convey an idea of the mar tial deeds of the hero separately from his devotion to his legislative labours, has very consistently given his statue the emblems of war, thrown a cast of tranquil mediation over the whole, by the inclination of the head and the calmness expressed in the countenance. This treatment is the more appropriate, a 3 the noble duke did not pass the later years of his valuable life on the field of battle, but bestowed his best energies with equal advantage upon his country, and the benefit of his experience on the councils of his Sovereign. The artist has, therefore, displayed refined taste as regards the conception of his subject, and at the same time exercised a sound discre tion with respect to the proper ,employment of the ma terial in which he works. He has been quite as success ful in the management of the modern dress, which al ways presents so great an obstacle to the desire to render it subservient to the demands of picturesque arrangement, but Mr. Matthew Noble very skilfully, while meeting the requirements of art, without becoming eccentric, has described it by lines both flowing and graceful, so as to remind the connoisseur of the purity of feeling peculiar to the Greeks, and has also carried the imitations of the reality just far enough to satisfy the expectations of the ordinary observer.—Morning Post, LOSS OF S.M. SHIP WOLVERINE. ADMIRALTY, Sept. 19.—The Secretary of the Admi ralty presents his compliments to the elitor of The Sun, and begs to acquaint him that the following in telligence has been received in this office : " The Wolverine was lost on the night of August the 11th on the south-south-east part of the Courtown Bank, while proceeding to Grey-town. " No lives were lost." :- ..,. KINGSTON, JAMAICA, Aug. 24.—Her Majesty's ship Buzzard, Capt. Dobbie, arrived early yesterday morning, bringing accounts of the total loss of her Majesty's brig Wolverine, Capt. L. Corbett, on Saturday night, the 11th inst., on the Conform Cays, distant about 16$ miles to the north of Greytown. The officers and crew, we were glad to hear, are saved. The information of the loss of the Wolverine was communicated to the com mander of the Buzzard, while lying at Greytown, by the pinnace of the Wolverine, under the command of the Second Lieutenant, which left the Cay on Tuesday the 14th, and arrived on Thursday the 16th. The Buzzard immediately proceeded to render what assistance might be necessary, but finding the officers and crew under tents, and the commander desirous of saving as mush of the stores and guns as possible, the Buzzard left on Sa turday evening last for Port Royal, with the account of the loss. She is now alongside the wharf, taltitig in Goals and provisions, and it is expected will proceed to the wreck with the least possible delay. RUMOURS OF NEGOTIATION. Our diplomitic contemporary, the Frankfort Post Gazette, is informed by a letter from a good source, at Vienna, that "a fresh attempt is to be made to re-estab lish peace. A fresh note will be sent to Russia through the medium of Austria. In this note the demands of the allied powers will be once more explicitly stated, and the proposition will be made for re-opening negotiations on this basis. Should Russia not accept this proposi tion, the military convention between Austria and the Western Powers will be immediately ratified. Respect. ing the demands of the Western Powers, the assurance has been given that they nre still moderate to an eminent degree. The original programme has been retained, nor has a single point been added that is not the natural consequence of the military advantages obtained. Among these consequences is an indemnity for war expenses, which will ddubtless figure as the most impor tant feature of the new negotiations. "A fresh treaty is spoken of as having been concluded between France and England on the one part, and Tur key on the other. Its object is to invest the Western Powers with the right of keeping garrisons in various parts of Turkey. The points specified are Varna, Adria nople, Constantinople, and Gallipoli. Varna and Sinope would be used as maritime stations by the Western Powers." The date of the foregoing letter is Sept. 14. PROPOSED ALTERATION OF THE NAVAL UNIIOIIM. The following letter, signed " M.D., R.N." has been addressed to a contemporary : Sir,—lt behoves every well-wisher of his country, and of its naval service in particular, to remove a most erro neous impression which a report, at present circulated by some of the newspapers, is calculated to produce. That rumour is to the effect that in the contemplated changes in the naval uniform the civil branch of the ser vice is to be distinguished (degraded I) by wearing silver lace, while the executive are to retain gold lace, as at present. That the Admiralty, after having used very consider able, very laudable, and, under all circumstances, very successful efforts to induce properly-qualified men to enter the medical department of the service, should issue an order having the effect of directly counteracting this desirable object, is so utterly improbable, that there can be no hesitation in meeting such a report by the most positive contradiction. Besides the medical branch, the commissariat and the engineer departments are comprehended in the category of naval civilians, and without efficiency in each of those departments, the most magnificent fleets that ever floated must be impotent and useless.

The following despatch has been received from General Pelissier, dated Sebastopol, Sept. 17 : The enemy have not destroyed their docks, the neighbouring establishments, the barracks, Fort Nicholas, or Fort Quarantine. The commission has commenced the enumera tion of the materials left. A first general survey has given the following result :-4,000 guns, 50,000 balls, a few hollow projectiles, a large quantity of grape shot, a large quantity of pow der (notwithstanding all the explosions that have taken place), 500 half-anchors in excellent condi tion, 25,000 kilogrammes of copper, 2 steam engines of 30-horse power, a considerable num ber of masts sawn in two for defence works. The following despatch, dated Sebastopol, Sep tember 18, has also been received : The generals and superior officers who have been wounded are going on as well as possible. No cause of anxiety in prospect. BERLIN, SEPT. 19. Telegraphic accounts have arrived here from St. Petersburg. The Emperor of Russia, accompanied by the three Grand Dukes, has left for Moscow, Nico laieff, and the Crimea. The journey to Warsaw is given up. A POLITICAL PRISONER BEATEN TO DEATH IN NAPLES. A letter in the Paris Presse says :—" I give you the following from a certain source. Every body now knows of the death of the unfortunate Lorenzo, who was bastinadoed for having replied With dignity to the insults of the sbirro Cam pagna. It should be known that Lorenzo's bourreaux were order pause four minutes be tween every blow of tick, and the number of blows awarded was one hundred ! The surgeon in attendance remonstrated after thefiftieth stroke, and declared that if the punishment was carried further death must inevitably ensue. But neither the generous intervention of the surgeon nor the piercing shrieks of the victim could stay the executioners. The hundred blows were scrupu lously administered (the four minutes' interval being observed throughout), and after a torture which lasted seven hours the unfortunate man was transported to the prison hospital, where he very speedily expired." The Vienna Fremden Blatt asserts that the Russians have concluded " another armistice with Schamyl for the term of six months." The following remarkable paragraph appears in the Corriere _ltalian° of Vienna, a paper often quoted as semi-official :—The course to be fol -lowed by the Allies in the Crimea, after the taking of Sebastopol, will depend on the attitude of the states of Central Europe. A more energetic policy on the part of our Cabinet, we are firmly persuaded, is the only one capable of accelerating the conclusion of a peace so ardently desired by all Europe. The rupture between the Sardinian and Tuscan Governments is complete. THE CZAR'S ADDRESS TO HIS ARMY. The following is the text of the order of the day addressed by the Emperor Alexander to the Rus sian army, on the taking of Sebastopol. It is dated " St. Petersburg, Sept. 11 :" " The defence of Sebastopol, which has been so prolonged, and which is perhaps unexampled in military annals, has attracted the attention not only of Russia but of all Europe. From its very outset, it placed its defenders on the same rank as the most illustrious heroes of our country. For a space of eleven months the garrison of Sebastopol has disputed with a powerful enemy each foot of ground, and each of its enterprises has been dis tinguished by acts of the most brilliant bravery. The obstinate bombardment renewed four times, and which has been justly called infernal, shook the walls of our fortifications, but could not shake or diminish the zeal and perseverance of its de fenders. They fought the enemy or died with in domitable courage, and, with an abnegation worthy of the soldiers of Christ, without once thinking of yielding. In regretting with all my heart the loss of so many generous warriors, who have offered their lives as a sacrifice to the country, and, in sub mitting myself with veneration to the judgment of the Almighty, who has not been pleased to crown their acts with complete success, I believe it my sacred duty to express on this occasion, in my own name and in that of all Russia, to the brave garri son of Sebastopol, the most profound gratitude for their indefatigable labours, for the blood which they have shed in the defence for nearly a year of the fortifications which they raised in the course of a'few days. But there is an impossibility, even for heroes ! The Bth of this month, after six desperate assaults had been repulsed, the enemy succeeded in obtaining possession of the important Korniloff bas tion, and the General-in-Chief of the army of the Crimea, desiring to spare the precious blood of his companions which under these circumstances would only have been uselessly shed, determined on pass ing to the northern side of the place, leaving to the enemy only blood-stained ruins. These heroes, objects of the general esteem of their comrades, will no doubt offer, on re-entering the ranks of the army, new examples of the same warlike virtues. With them and like them, all our troops animated with the same unlimited faith in. Providence, and the same ardent love for me and their country, will always and everywhere combat with courage the enemies who touch the honour and the integrity of the country ; and the name of Sebastopol which has acquired immortal glory by so many sufferings, and the names of its defenders will live eternally in the hearts of all Russians with the names of the heroes who immortalised themselves in the battle fields of Pultawa and Borodino. ALEXANDER." FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The official reports of the Commander-in-Chief of the French army are waited for with the utmost impatience. It is hoped that they will be given to the public in Friday's Moniteur. The Moniteur publishes the following from Stockholm, dated Sept, 12 The fiat nee of the capture of Sebastopol reached Stockholm by way of St. Petersburg. On the 11th the despatches from Paris confirmed that great event. Great was the joy of the population, and, as the people pos sess more feeling than diplomacy, they did not fear to give vent to it. Many of the merchantmen at anchor in the port were decorated with flags. At night many of the houses were illuminated, and crowds proceeded to a garden of public amusement which had announced that, in honour of the happy news of the fall of Sebastopol, the grounds would be brilliantly illuminated." The Constitutionnel thinks tke announcement that 10,000 horses were about to be shipped at Mar seilles must have been a mistake of the telegraph. A Constantinople letter of the 6th, in the Semaphore, says :—" In a month the campaign of 1855 will be at an end, and preparations are already making her* for the troops that are to winter in Constantinople. A week since several officers of engineers arrived. from France to select ground fit for the encamp ment of infantry. They have not yet made their choice. As for the cavalry, ten thousand sabres strong, it will positively be installed in Maslak map and in that of Daoud Pacha. The commis sariat is completing its-final preparations for their reception." This number of ten thousand sabres, Says the Constitutionnel, corresponds so exactly with the ten thousand horses of the despatch that we are disposed to think there must have been a mistake in the matter, and that it is not intended at this time of the year to send to the Crimea such a large reinforcement of cavalry, the transport of which, by the way, could not be improvised. The Prince de Cariui, minister plenipotentiary of the Two Sicilies in London, who had come to pass his leave of absence in the neighbourhood of Paris, has just left to continue his journey towards Naples. _ _ The Jourdain left Marseilles on Monday for the East, having on board General Mangin, 15 sisters of charity, and CO men of various regiments.

Letters from Trebizonde of the 30th ult. state that General Muravieff was on the 22d still in the entrenched camp before Kars. He had only his field artillery and some mountain pieces ; his siege train had not left Gumri, and it was doubtful whether he would not content himself with observ ing the place and keeping up a blockade. Recent telegraphic despatches have announced that not withstanding his vigilance provisions have been thrown into Kars. Russian accounts from Tiflis state that new troops have arrived there " from Orenburg," and the army of the Caucasus is asserted to be at this moment in a high state of efficiency —so much so, in fact, that an expedition to Batoum is t a lk e d o f , and it is said that Prince Bebutoff has reinforced the corps at Achaltzik and ordered it to march thither. VARNA, Sept. 6.—Omer Pacha, Admiral Achmet Pacha, General Vivian, and Hussein Pacha, Turk ish Commissioner attached to the contingent, ar rived here yesterday. Omer Pacha has since left for Kamiesh, and General Vivian for Eupatoria. RUSSIA. The following are Prince Gortschakoff's de spatches of the Bth, translated from the Journal de St. Petersbourg, and more textual than the earlier telegraphic advices : " Bth September, Noon—The enemy receives nearly every day new reinforcements. The bom bardment continues with unexampled violence. Our less has been more than 2,500 men in the last 24 hours." " 10 o'clock.—The troops of your Imperial Ma jesty have defended Sebastopol to the last extre mity ; but it was impossible to hold it longer on account of the infernal fire which was poured on the town. The troops have passed over to the north side, after repelling six out of seven assaults made by the enemy. It was only at the Korniloff that we found it impossible to expel them. The enemy will find in Sebastopol nothing but blood stained ruins." The bombardment lasted three days and a half, so that the Russian loss during that time, at the rate cited by Prince Gortschakoff, would have been 8,750 placed hors de combat before the assault, and by the artillery projectiles alone of the besiegers. The Russian loss in defending the fortifications against the seven attacks on the Bth may be very moderately estimated at 8,000 more—a serious diminution of the Russian force to be added to the recent losses on the Tchernaya ; a consideration that would weigh when the question of a with drawal, such as the Prince is said to have ordered, presented itself. A letter from Warsaw of the 13th, in the Danube of Vienna, says :—" The festival of the Emperor's fete was saddened here by the news of the taking of Malakhoff and its consequences. As soon as Marshal Paskiewitch received the intelligence, he despatched his aide-de-camp, Orloff Demidoff, to Sebastopol. It is certain that a great many more troops are to be sent to the Crimea besides the Guards ; especially the militia of the Empire. A field ambulance has been sent over from Warsaw. The Frelnden Blatt states from Warsaw,ou what it believes to be good authority, that " the Russian rear-guard abandoned Fort St. Nicholas on the night between the 9th and 10th. On the 10th, General Pelissier sent some detachments into the tow n,which consists of 480 houses. On the 11th, the Karabel naia suburb was occupied by a French corps. The main body of the army will enter the town as soon as the barricades have been removed, and when a bridge of boats has been thrown over the War Port. The immense loss sustained by the Rus sians in the six assaults, and the fear of a diver sion on the Tchernaya, induced Prince Gortscha koff to retreat into the maritime forts and into the Northern citadel, to occupy the heights of the Bel bek, and to send a corps of observation in the di rection of the Tchernaya. The Russian position is strong, but it will be difficult for the army to winter on the plateau. From the preparations which are making at Perekop we are induced to believe that the Russians mean to defend the Cri mea even after having lost Sebastopol." The Cologne Gazette has a letter from St. Peters burg stating that the stores of the Government of Kherson aro completely exhausted, as merchant vessels have ceased to bring corn from the fertile countries of the Don by the Sea of Azoff. The forage for the animals employed in transport must now be brought from Perekop, and even the water they require, for there is no forage in the Crimea, and the springs are dried up. The Salgir has be come quite a little rivulet. The crop of potatoes has also failed, and the price risen more than three fold. Vegetation is everywhere withered, and the price of corn is constantly on the rise at Simphe ropol. A letter froth Odessa, in the Military Gazette of Vienna, states that " the Russians in Bakshi-Serai are barring all the mountain defiles, breaking down the bridges, and destroying the communications with Balaklava, which indicates that they are ex pecting the Allies will commence a campaign in the interior of the Crimea." Le Nord publishes a long and laborious letter from a Frankfort correspondent, to prove that the soldiers of the Russian army in the Crimea have plenty to eat and drink. A correspondent of the Vienna Military Gazette comes to the point at once in the following fashion:—" Odessa, Sept. 5. The army of Sebastopol is well supplied. Some particular articles fetch prices almost incredible— thus, a lemon is worth a silver rouble (3s. 2d.), but meat is almost given away, and tobacco is as cheap." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, SEPT. 16.—The Vienna Presse of this morning has a Paris letter of the 12th, in which it is affirmed that a courier had, on the preceding day, left the French capital with despatches for M. de Bourqueney, who was directed to request the Imperial Cabinet to urge Russia to accept the four points with the interpretation given to them by the Western Powers during the Vienna Con ferences. Inquiry has been made on the subject, and the information received is, that until now neither of the Western Powers has expressed any desire to renew the negotiations for peace. It is generally rumoured that the Emperor Francis Joseph will come to Vienna for a day, in order to preside at a grand council, but people in office say that there is no truth in the report. Little is here known of the intentions of the Emperor, but the diplomatic world is inclined to believe that the success of the allies " will lead to some change in the policy of Austria." The only effect which the fall of the enemy's stronghold will produce here is, that another attempt will be made to induce Prussia and the Bund to take a step forwards. It is expected that the Earl of Westmoreland will soon return to his post. On the 14th, at 2 p.m., the Lloyd steamer Fer dinand 1., with 150 passengers and goods on board, went up the Danube to Galatz without meeting with any impediment. According to au Athena let* of the 6th a the Greek Minister in London has written to Xing Otho that Lord Palmerston had assured him do i British Government was satisfied with the way n whisk his Majesty had kept his promise to remain neutral. The British Government has neveren tertained any idea of encroaching on the Sovereign rights of the King, and his Majesty is at liberty to dismiss his Ministe r s w h eneve r he may think proper. It is related that Kalergi will enter the French service, and be sent to Constantinople. NAPLES. A letter from Vienna, of the 14th inst., says " On the 9th of September, Mr. Elliot, who acts pro. visionally for Lord Westmoreland, presented a despatch to the Vienna Cabinet, containing a statement of all Os complaints England has to make against the Neapolitan Government The despatch is said to state that Ell . land would have been glad to see Naples remaining within the limits of a strict neutrality, spare the BritiFh Government and its allies the doubly painful duty, under, actual circumstances, of turning aside her attention no' her forces from the task on hand. England, adds the despatch, does not yet give up the hope that a serious warning will bring back the Neapolitan Government to that prudence which it stands in need of now more tha n ever." Another letter of the same date, in the C 0 1 00 ,116 Gazette, says that, on the 27th of August, t h e Austrian Government addressed a despatch to the Government of Naples, supporting, in an energet f l e manner, the demands of the Western Powers. t points out the consequences that may ensue' if Naples persevere in the present course, and all that Austria will (if the Neapolitan Governmee n does not give satisfaction to France and England) be compelled to abandon Naples to its fate. M. Mazzini has addressed a proclamation to the Italian people calling upon them to rise. The in' surrection, he maintains, is the easiest thing in th e world to realise, and to bring to a successful issu e ' He urges his countrymen by every argument itelv ginable to seize on the present opportunity; if th e !, do not they will become the object of contempt the world. The proclamation otherwise does O' differ from any of the documents of the kind iviii ev " h have preceded it. There is no doubt that considerable disconten t exists throughout Italy, and p ar ti cu l ar ly a t Nan where, if an English squadron presented itself this moment, the most serious consequences mig ht 100 apprehended. The squadron will not, it is sak i ' go direct to Naples, but to the coast of Moroeee; to look after pirates. After crui s ing some time if the Mediterranean, during which the Neapolitan Government will have leisure to consider what re ; paration it ought to offer to England, the squadro n will probably be joined by the French fleet, ail if the matter be not settled, the Bay of Naples No m perhaps be visited. His Neapolitan Majesty no doubt have made up his mind by that time. THE PAPAL STATES. ROME, Sept. 11.—The news of the fall of w h a south of Sebastopol was received here by telegrig t last night, or this morning, and, although not published, it is generally known through t h e town, where it has caused unfeigned rejoicing ; 1 . ..," only drawback to 4 which is a very natural lor; giving after so much suspense as to whether tb news is not too good to be true. We must mend?! tit justice to the Roman Government, that Ir o official paper publishes regularly the telegraPh. l o despatches from the Crimea, and does not, like friend the King of Naples, seek to suppress P c ji that is favourable to the Allies. The Giornale Roma of this evening will no doubt confirm did report received by the French Embassy, as it " I yesterday that of the taking of the Malakhoff• THE BALTIC FLEET. GOTTLAND, Sara. I v .

The bloc ks- 4 of the enemy's ports is most efficiently preseq`is by our various cruisers, and the effect thereo ro most severely felt by all classes of the ErnP e 0 t of All the Russias, causing great discon te among them. The advantages the allies have gaie.,, e o during the present campaign may not reach !P r ,. standard of success assigned to them by the VI% at home, but they are sufficiently important Z; warrant the assurance that in 1856, with t' • sal means and appliances which will then be furnish 0 the Czar will find that his strongholds in ° e a Baltic, as elsewhere, will, one by one, be wres ted from him. The Hawke, Capt. Ommanney, arrived in - .6ar :t Sound on the Ist inst., where she rernaine'u, anchor for a week, and then left to rejoin the no r i a body of the fleet at Nargen. The Cressy an Driver parted company on the 2d inst., with 4 ;i Admiral Seymour's squadron, off Seskar, r eap iO , Nargen the next day at 6 p.m., where they mained until 5.30 a.m. of the 3d, when they se pasted for Faro Sound, sighting the Lighth cw o re on Holme Point at 7 a.m. of the sth.
