THE BALTIC.

HAMBURG, leis 3.
The Amphion, Captain A. Cooper Key, in recon-
noitring the newly erected works at Bweaborg, un-
fortunately got aground within rang* of the enemy's
gins, which opened fire on the frigate. Four balls
hit the Teasel, killing one man and wounding two,
but the Amphion returned the fire with web sleet
that she blew up a powder myosins, the espied= et
which seriously damaged some of the works also. In
the harbour were lying five Resigns steamers, which,
however, did not come out to take part in the affair,
from which it is concluded they were afraid of run-
ning against their own exploding machines. The
Amphion got off very soon, and without any
damage.
The Finland papers contain detailed accounts of
the different attempts made by the English ships to
land at different parts on the oast. Thus accounts
from Becks state that, on the 14th ult. they burned
and destroyed Fort Slava, and letters from Wyborg
my that on the 10th ult. a landing was effected at
Tranponnd, and forced the riflemen stationed there to
retreat into the interior. On the 14th June two frigates
and a gunboat arrived off Avaisk Sound and set Are
to the buildings. On the following night they ma-
naged to enter the inner roadstead of Itsederflcshani,
in spite of a very difficult navigation, amilegpreaohed

WWI film Pads state that there is mama for
hawing dip instead of adopting the slow approach
of sap and Maar es was generally believed just
.after the 18th ult., the allied generals have deter-
mined to deliver, and that speedily, a general assault
on the works. The German telegraph brings word
of an expedition to Odessa, but it is not likely that
the generals of the allied armies will reduce their
force before Sebastopol at thisjunoturs. Large rein-
forcements are leaving France, preceded by a con-
siderable number of odoers of high rank, to take the
plaices of those who have fallen in the recent engage-
ments.

Au eye-witness writes that on the 18th the holies
of the English, as well as the French, wed for sup-
porting General Byte's Division in the lodgment
they had made in Sebastopol, and that if this bri-
Cbed been properly supported, there is little
itt that the south du of Sebastopol would in a
few hours have been in our possession. General Pe-
limier, in a Council of War held on the 18th, wished
to continue the storming, and to support the 3rd
Division, then actually inside the works; but this
Lord Raglan would not consent to, but would in the
first place relieve the four regiments (14th, 28th,
38th, sad 44th), shut up in Sebastopol. Pelissier, on
the contrary, argued they should be supported; that
by the way they would have to come out other
regiments ooald get in; and that being so very
elms to the Arsenal, they could effect the do-
struotion of that important place. However' Lord
Raglan's determination was that they should be re-
lieved.

The written order had been that the Light Division
and 3rd Division should attack the • flanks, and if
they succeeded, then the 2nd Division was to advance
and attack the Salient, bat the Divisions on the flanks
not succeeding, the 2nd did not advance.

The guns in the Redes ud Melakhoff, which we
aught we had eilenced, were only withdrawn under
offer, and loaded up to the muzzle with grape and
centiliter, and on oar brave fellows appearing in
front, they ran them out again, and diaoharged them
with mutinous effect.

Ms following is an extract from an officer's letter
Cusp before Sebastopol. Juts 18.

no whole of the army moved down this morning about
one *Meek to smault the plan, bat through some minor
segment they ecinmeeced the attack too soon on the right
—in feet, before we get into position ; SO there were some
regiments never got Into position.
One brigade is inside the suburbs of the town, and cannot
get oats yet. The brigade consists of the Bth, 18th, 28th,
88th, end 44th. The 18th are terribly cut up, and nearly
every Miser in the 38th, 28th and 44th is wounded. I
have only ens one of our Moen,: Captain Smith. who is
wounded, and he says he beard Major Lister and Captain
Daunt were killed ; but you cannot get at the truth. The
number wounded Is very great , and there will be plenty
killed on their way out of the town. The brigade received
no rapport, so they are stuck fast when they ate.
The Preach were beaten back from the Italakhoff three
thus. Every tent and but in our division is full of
wounded.

A letter from before flobeetopol of the 23rd, in the
Sesseisione of Marseilles, says :
As bigsrlaat movement has taken place lately to the
array. Clesstal Basset, who, on the orders of General
Mosier, had suse ea the 16th, two days before the great
&Mask, to aka the gemmed of the Moor encamped on the

An order of the day has now changed the names of the
White Works sad Musks Vert, the latter being celled
the Brassies Recteslct, and the former the Lavarande Re-
dcoat*, fres the new of the two brave generals who were
killed la them respectively.

The East German Fast publishes a letter from
St. Petersburg containing the following passage:
The general opinion entertained here is that the allies are
preparing an expedition spinet Nicolaief, in the govern-
ment of Khereon. This town is, in some Impede, of
greater importance then Sebadopol. The latter is merely
a place for harbouring the Russian navy in the Basins,
where. Nioolaief is its cradle. Hare are the large dock-
yards where the great ships of war are built ; hare is the
Admiralty; and here also are collected those vest stone of
timber and other materials for shipbaildiag the collecting
of which requires a groat number of years. If t►e allies
amid succeed in destroying the mores and vast organisation
of this Sam they would obtain a far more certain guarantee
of the redaction of Hessian power them they can obtain in
Sebastopol, where they are endeavouring to catch some
hali-dosen ships or so. It le true the Anglo-French Hest
would have to make great samilloes in attaining this result,
for the Hog presents obstacles of every kind. Strand
batteries have been erected, the rampart of earth round the
town is said to be immensely strong, and I am told that
there la a large garrison to man the works. Nevertheless,
they have no great faith in the impregnability of the pleas,
especially since the capture of Kertch.

very ancient date, originating, strangely enough,
in the boldness of the anti-Pope Amato;
who, in the year 1130, first gave the tide
of king to the Norman Duke Roger U. The
orthodox Popes, seeing no reason for restricting the
suzerainete thus extended by the anti-Pope, continual
to grant investitures to the succeeding sovereigns,
and Clement IV., in 1265, fixed the tribute at 8,000
ounces of gold and a white palfrey, to be mound
by Charles I. of Anjou and his successors on the
vigil of St. Peter's festival, a tribute paid with sae
or less punctuality until the year 1788, whett the
Neapolitan government, after having in vain codes
voured to pay it 1111 a mere devout offering to the
Saint, and not as a recognition of feudal varioalego to
the Holy See, ceased sending it altogether. Themo-
nef.had dwindled down to 7,000 gold ducats, but the
splendour of the oeremooy, the sumptuous train dills
special ambassador (for many years the Constable
Colonna) was very expensive to the King of Naples,
whilst the feudal homage was galling to his Knee of

delighted to see the gorgeously caparisoned white
steed kneel before the Pope with a golden vase, ex.

had to forego the magnificent spectacle since the eve
of St. Peter's festival, in 1788, when Pope PiusVL
first made the formal protest, which has been eta.

Pio Nono is undeniably under great obligations to

arrange this wrzatc; greitio which desired result boa

resorted to in this age of money, viz, s
pecuniary compsneation. King Ferdinand ma-
sents to pay his Holiness ten thousand dean.
This mode of settling the quarrel, however 011ini•
nient in the present state of the Papal excheque,
has not failed to meet with opposition from some of
the cardinals, who affirm that the rights of the Holy
See are inalienable, and that therefore no Pope eta
do away with them; but, on the other hand, it is to
be considered that Pio Nono, as administrator of the

in a most refractory condition, it is perhaps better
for him to have put an end to an old grievance with
Naples, where there is still matter enough for clis
agreement left in the unarranged disputes about Bpi-
' ritual education and the treatment of the Jesuit,
lest a third catholic power, and a near neighbour
into the bargain, should be added to the rebellious

The melancholy. intelligence of the death of Capt.

diplomatic representative, Mr. R. Bickerton Lyons,
who is now the admiral's only surviving son. Mr.
Lyons was much affected by the news of his brother's
death, and will leave Rome for England in a few
