PROCEEDINGS OF THE RUSSIANS IN THE

BALTIC.

The Independonee Belge of yesterday evening con-
tains the following: _ _ _

H&JIBURO, JULY 6.

Oar merchants have received news from Arehaogel, dated
the 26th ult. The foreign vessels in the port at that date
have happily been able to leave with their cargoes. Amongst
the vessels are some from the United States, and these, atter
discharging their cargoes at Archangel, took an Eaten
direction. By the arrived of four Eoglish war.steamen
and effendi vessel in the White Sea, the blockade there was
severely kept; meanwhile, on the With, no English vessel
had shows itself at the mouth of the D wins, where Etuain
military genius has established several artillery batteries.
This passage must be forced before entering the little
gulf wbich extends before Archangel, and the navigation of
which has been otherwise rendered impracticable to vase],
of war. A certain number of light vessels and gunboats will
therefore be indispensable both to get at Archangel and to
cannonade the place.
Archangels now in a perfect state of defence. Ica old
fortifications have been restored ; sew ones have bees added
on both ekes of the eity, and these are armed with 82 guns.
There are also in the environs large numbers of Russian
infantry, two field batteries, two putts of Cossacks, and
very nearly an entire regiment of light cavalry stationed
in villages sear the coast. The merchants of Archangel
appear o feel but little anxiety as to the results of the
attack, more or less sear, on the part of English cruisers.

KONIGSBERG, IioNDAT.

A decree issued by the Emperor of Russia orders
the governors of New Russia aad Bessarabia to
reinforce the Cossack army upon the Danube as much
as possible, admitting volunteers from all ranks.

Letters from Odessa of the 26th alt. state that
General Luden has sent the regiments of Witebak
and Polook, numbering together 6,000 men, to the
Crimea. The inhabitants are still leaving this place,
fearing a bombardment. News has been received
there that the cholera has broken out at Simpheropol,
Perekop, and Hherson.
The following is an extract from a letter dated
Warsaw, July 4 :
Toe cholera and other epidemics still rage with unabated
virulence in this city. The military hospitals, too, are full
of soldiers, a great many of whom are knocked up from the
effects of forced marches : when once these men get into the
hospitals they rarely leave them alive. It may mound incre-
dible in England, but I mention it as a fact, that the Ans-
a= soldiers here are in such a miserable state that they beg
alms of passers-by, even when standing sentry.

Bt. Petersburg, Jane 30.

For some days past conversation has tamed almost exclu-
sively on certain arrests that have been made not merely
here and at Moscow, but ale° in the governments of Great
and Little Easels. These rigorous measures us attributed
to the discovery of a plot among the SeLivonia party.
Among the persons arrested there us fear generals in
satire service, two professors of the Moscow and one of the
Klsw University. Besides these individuals, Prince G.
Weeny, .on of a ci.deema minister, and who is well
known for his liberal opinions and tendencies, km blot
arrested, and with him, it is also stated, several dawn of
the army, and even of the Emperor's guards.
I will shortly send you more precise and circumstantial
details. For the present I merely remind you that public
opinicet here attaches to the discovery of this plot a renewal
of pertain severities that we witness every day, such as the
enema refusal of passports to persons of rank aconsterned
to speed the summer abroad. A pest of this severity, by
the bye, consists in the extreme rigour of the sessoeship,
whieb obstinately and greandlemly refuses to permit the
realisation of works that would assuredly have base allowed
to appear under the Emperor Niatielas himself.
