"Aide-de-Camp General Kotzebue formed, under the -command of Major-General Vesselitzky, a chain of sharp- shooters with the first men- who landed, so that, covered-by them, •the infantry who landed might form columns by companies. Preceding this chain in person, he advanced upon the road to Matschin Simultaneously with this movement, he sent Major- General Boutourline, who acted as Quartermaster-in-Chief, with a few Greek volunteers, to a battery abandoned by the enemy,on the •left of the route, in order to reconnoitre the territory. The Turks preserved the silence of death, and not one showed himself; but hardly had Major- General Router:Ll - line - entered the battery with his volunz teers than the enemy, concealed in a ravine behind the battery, .and in the deep . entrenchments which connected itivith the other batteries, opened a murderous fire of nansketrY.

" Where is . your fleet V Answer—"l don't know, but I believe it to be at sea, and very near." After having received these answers, the two steamers departed, having described themselves as the Mogador and the Sampson. On the sth the whole expedition anchored at Novo rosslisk,' where it disembarked the garrison of the posts of Navagbin ,, k, Golovine, Lilzareff; Veliaminoff, Ten ghinsk, and Novotroitsk. Storms had prevented the squadron of Rear-Admiral Voukotitch embarking the garrison of the post of St. Esprit. The removal of the garrison took place between the 9th and 10th by means of the steamer G-romooossers, aboard which was sent Colonel Skolkoff, aide-de•camp of the Emperor. From all these posts, besides the garrisons, which make up an effective force of 5,000 men, they embarked' all the families of the soldiers, the workmen, and a great part of the stores of the Crown. The re-t, as well as the buildings, were burnt, and the fortifiriatiens were blown up. Our military resources have thus been augmented by an important body Of ph-ked troops, accustomed to war by long service in the centre of an unsuhlued country. This confirms the news brought, by telegraph to •" Because London some time ago, that the'Russians had suc ceeded, while the combined fleets remained at Beycos, in removing their troops from the posts established on the Circassian coast of the Black Sea. It will be recollected that Earl Clarendon contra dicted, in the House of Lords, the accuracy of all the reports circulated to this effect. "The•construction of the bridge, which was confided to selajor.G eneea l tolpakoff, commander of the Ist brigade or the 3d division of light cavalry, was commenced at the tim e of the departnre for the attack. ".Theenemy having perceived the movement of the sec tions of the bridge towards the point for its establishment directed upon the latter a cannonade from the principal battery of the bank towards the Danube, which it was im- Posaible for us to silence, in consequence of the disposition of the place. " Then our artillery, which had been landed, was sent in advance, and, joining its tire to that of the batteries of -the island of Vyndoia, began to pour grapeshot upon the batteries of the nearest bank, behind which were posted lime armed with muskets and the infantry of the enemy. "At the same time arrangements were made to corn- Plate the bridge. "At 6 o'clock in. the evening two battalions of the regi runt of Chasseursof Lublin and two pieces of cannon were go u.t to the right bank to reinforce the three battalions welch had already landed. The enemy fired from two Picts until an advanced period of the night, sending grape Shot and b u ll e t s aga i ns t th e wor k s Bee t th e brid ge . B es id e s mas t at two intervals, the Turks having formed in line of battle on their right flank, opened a fire of musketry, which did not do us any harm, as much because of the distance as consequence of the position of our infantry, which was so 'Posted as to be cevered by small ravines. During the whole tight the detachment remained in observation, while a por tion of the troops were engaged in the construction of a bridge. During the same night two pieces of the light bat terY•No. 8 w ere t rans p or t er t o th e r i g ht b an k. ''The gun-sloops which had proceeded along the left bank before the commencement of the descent were employed to clear that part of the right bank where the landing was to be effected. While it took place these sloops were placed across the river, in order to cover the establishment of the bridge, and to retain the pontoons, the anchors of which Would not hold in consequence of the viole.ice of the wind. " After the first landing of the troops the steamvessel the Pruth gave efficacious assistance in the construction of the bridge by towing the pontoons and assisting in the trans port of troops and artillery. The establishment of the bridge having proceeded very slowly in consequence of the contrary wind and the strength of the current, the last two battalions of the Regiment of Chasseurs of Lublin were transported on the 12th of March at daybreak to the right bank of the Danube by means of boats. "In the night from the 11th to the nth of March the enemy definitively evacuated his batteries, and retired upon Matschin. Our advanced posts were sent forward, and our troops occupied the batteries abandoned by the enemy. " In the night from the 12th to the 13th, having received from the island of Vyndora a report from Major-General Prince Ourousoff, belonging to the suite of your Imp. rial Majesty, announcing that the enemy had evacuated Mats chin and were marching to Hirsova, I ordered, at 7 o'clock in the morning, the transport, by means of boats, of the last battalions from the right bank, and that they should • assemble on the left bank es soon as the bridge should be formed, and also the transport of the regiment No. 9 or the Cossacks of the Don of Lieutenant-Colonel Fomine, and three squadrons of the regiment of Lancers of the Archduke Albert of Austria.

After having occupied the town and inspected the for tecations I intrusted the command of the troops destined to form the garrison to Major-General Vesselitsky. Our lose in forcing the passage before Brailow was :eery unimportant ; we had six men killed.

STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) I4IANCHICSTEII, April 18.—We have to report a more cheerful tone.,in this day's market, With an increased firmness in the prices of some kinds of yarns and goods, will:v., ilia few articles, the quotatiOns are, slightly higher than they were last week. The turn-out at Stockport has given an upward tendency to the lower counts of pinct,ps, and to 245. and to 283 warps and the .extensive business, Aatterly.effected for India and China,. together with somewhat impeoved advices by the overland mail, leads to the requirement of rather high r prices for suit able mule and water twit.ts, and also f)r goods adapted .to those quarters. The day's, transactions, have been of fair but not large extent. For Germany, the buying of . yarns is but invited ; here and there a' little specula tion has, however, been ventured upon by the merchants. It is still found that 7 8 and 9-8 printing cloths, and the yarns fur these cloths, together with yarns for home use, such as the Bolton, 40s, 508 60s, and 70s, and, in general, goods specially prepared for home consumption, are lagging very much behind such as are more ad.pted for foreign markets. The fall of prices in this market, with the relative dearness . of the Liver pool cotton market, has placed spinners 'and manu facturers in an unfavourable position. It will be seen, however, that the commencement of worse ac counts from this country has given rise to some irregu larity in the American markets, and to a slight decline in prices. We understand that the turn-out at Stock port amounts to about 3-4ths of the hinds, and the greater part of the remainder will, it is understood, go out at the latter end of this week. At Preston the funds are now beginning to fall, and the old hands are returning to work in greater numbers. HALIFAX, April 15. —The demand for goods in our piece hail to-day has been about the same as has been usual - of late, and _the- merchants show very little disp.osition•to purchase. The quantity of yarn produced is now so much nearer the requirements of the market '(the spinners working on an average net. more, than four days a week), that stocks are not accumulating, and prices remain as they were. In wools there-is More doing, and the downward tendency of the quotations has eceived a check. Prices generally are firmer, and for some some sorts, as Lincolnshires, • higher :rates have been given. - - • • • ROCHDALE, 'April 17.-We have had another very dull and inactive market, with-little ornetliiiig doing. The attendance of ,buyers has been - slender; and `these: have shown no disposition to purchase, 'except- 'at . reduced prices. , There is no changein the wool market worth notice ; the _tendency of prices is yet downwards. Closing Prices,' this day. H BUSleen done this, day. MARKET NEWS--(MM DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very scantily supplied with English wheat ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds ruled inac tive, but we have no change to notice in prices. Foreign wheat, the show of which was good, moved off slowly, at last week's currency. There were very few inquiries for floating cargoes, the arrivals of which have slightly increased. We ha.t' a dull inquiry for barley and malt, at barely late rates. About an average business was transacted in oats and beans, at late rates.

DESPERATE RENCONTRE ON BOARD AN AMERICAN STEAMER.—We have often heard of meeting a murderer on tne high . seas, but seldom have to record such scenes of violence as occurred on the steamer. S. F. J. Traube, on the Mississippi river, (hiring her recent trip from New Orleana. .As is usual at this season of the year, the boat was crowded with deck passengers,_ chiefly. flat boatmen from the Wabash and coal boatmen from Pittsburg: Among the latter was a setof turbulent, quarrelsome men, who were about half drunk *hen they got on the boat at NeW:Orleans, and had fought among themselves before the, boat left p0rt.. . ,-.Captain Tucker was: notified ,by a "friend who recognised one or two of the men that he would belie trouble with them, and they would try to take the boat. • Soon after the boat was under way, and before she had proceeded many miles up the river, one of ,the 'Pittsburg coal boatmen attacked a Wabath 'Mau, Who was quiet and peaceable . and. had said nothing to him, and . knocked him down, and beat him drea,dfuly. Two of - his friends - interfered to save him from further ill-usage, when they were beset and beaten nearly to death, and one of them had his arm broken by a blow of an axe in thi, hands of one of the rioters. The deck bar was open, and another passenger, a small man, stepped up after the first fray and called for a drink.' While .he was in the act of drinking, •a burly-fellow, a bully among the coal hoat, men, stepped up and seized him by the peck, choked him, and threw him to the deck as if he were a chicken, and then stampedon hini. He was suffered to getup ; an , d . as Soon as he regained , his feet he drew a knife and inflict ed a terrible Wound in the big map's right,breast , whic h . placed him on his back during the' rest of the trip, and on the arrival Of the boat here he was sent to the hosPitg. Not _long :after. . boatmen. became perfectly ,wild with anxiety for a fight, an d were re_ the would take th e thi s . Occurrence the Coal ild• with liquor' or their' heard to swear that vi a e nd do as th ey boat with -passengers , pleased. Thadeck was crowded and orderly h a d do-peace or rest, and w ere b eset every m o ment. Captain TuckerTuckerthen determined to que ll the . riot, 'arid summoning his .. crew, am ong whom were •21 Spaniards, armipg'them with abort. clubs, hatchets, and w hatever weapons he cooK„he: marched J. the lower deck and endeavoured to-restore order, and'plit the rioters on shore. The. rio'ters laughed at him, and one. big fellow Shenk his fist under his nose and defied the , .whole crew. The Spaniard, in solid . phalanx, arined . ..with a club and a long k n if e, were ordered t o advance and seize the ringleader. • -Then -ensued a scene of strife and confusion seldom seen on -the deck of a boat. : 'rho Spanish crew, however, were Victorious, and managed to secure four of the ringleaders, 'Who were tied meek and heel, and peace was at, once restored. The chief of the mob was not caught, and fer several days could not be-found:and it wa s thO u ght that, be, with four or . live 'others, had' jtiMped overboard, and either were drowned or swam ashore. ~, several, of the cabin passen gers aver . that 'th ey. distinctly: saw three or four men in the river,: and as the actair..o9Rnrred PQO/1 after!thc boat 'len Nr.e.*`Orleans.,- it was impossiblato tell who- ;wan During the'?itelje a coal bi'oatman of the name of Blakely, ' . •.: was . muc h hurl; and datig,. eronsly Nabbed in the side. He was taken cai•eLlof:llx)' . the .efticers-of.-the boat, and sent to the hospital.

The Moniteur of yesterday states that the Aus trian Ambassador at Paris hats left for Vienna, to be present at the marriage of the Emperor ; he will be absent 10 days. On Monday morning the Duke of Cambridge and the other distinguished English officers who accom, pany his Royal 'Ugliness, visited the Museum of the Louvre, over which they were attended by the Comte de Newerkerke. In the evening the whole of the party dined with M. Drouyn de Lhuys, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and subsequently went to the Elysee, where a grand ball and concert took place, for which magnificent preparations had been made, numerous workmen having been employed night and day for the past week. The palace, which is in course of extensive alteration, and .but a few days since presented a scene of the utmost confusion and disorder, was transformed, as if by enchantment, into one of those fairy edifices; which French workmen appear to possesg the secret of creating at short notice, beyond all others'. The principal entrance was beautifully orna mented with carpeting and light blue cloth, and the side entrances the same. The facade was decorated with an awning of blue and white al ternately, and with carpet-covered steps, at inter vals bordered with shrubs, for setting down the guests. The company began to arrive shortly after nine, and a few minutes before 10 the Imperial carriages, with his Majesty and the Empress, and the Imperial Household ; the Duke of Cambridge and suite, etc., arrived. From this time till a late hour the carriages came iu rapid successim, the company comprising the Ministers of State, the Foreign Ambassadors, and the principal no bility, English, French, and foreign at present in Paris. The gardens were most tastefully and splendidly lighted and had more the appearance of a scene of enchantment than a reality, the large trees were adorned with coloured lanterns of differ ent sizes and colours, representing fruits of various forms, whilst the walks were ornamented with festoons of different coloured lights, and vases, &c., of the same description, and recalled to Mind the magic beauty of the gardens described in the Ara bian .1 ights. The view of the garden from the ball-room on the ground floor, th- lofty illuminated trees in the distance forming an immense amphi theatre, with a grotto in the centre, composed. of pink 'and green Chinese lightS, pi esented a coup (red/ of which none but au eye-witness could form an idea, whilst the varied 'groups tended not a little to enhance the scene. Of the palace itself,'the apartments, all newly restored and gilt viith pro fusion, the furniture of the most splendid - descrip tion, with the various decorations, together with the brilliancy of the scene, illuminated by thotm sands of wax tapers from splendid candelabras in every direction, together with ;the brilliancy of the various military costumes - and the variety rand elegance of the dresses of the fair sex, must have given his Royal Highness and the visitors who ac companied him an idea that they were present at a " housewarming" tinevalled in the annals of France, so celebrated for its national fetes. The buffets were served with more than ordinary .pio fusion, the refreshments of all sorts being of the choicest kind. Their Majesties retired about one o'clock, after which the remainder of the company began to retire gradually, but it was not until " daylight hadlteYun to dawn" that the whole of the company hal: left. _Dancing, which at the commencement had been almost an "impossibi lity," was kept up with spirit to the last. General Lord Raglan and Lord .de Ros left Paris yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, en route for Mar seilles. Colonel Ardent has arrived at Paris to render an account of the mission which he has fulfilled con jointly with General Boureoyne. He came by the Louqsor, just arrived at Marseilles from Constan-, tinope, which met with numerous transports car rying English and French troops to Gallipoli.. There remained at Naita only one regiment to be embarked. General Bizot, commandant of the Polytechnic School, has been appointed to the command in chief of the engineers of the army of the East.
