... GOUTCH•LO77.-.Yon an swan that Rauh' Is on-

pied in a struggle with all Europa, and that, consequently,
aim has need of all her resources. (Not a word on the subject
d the application made to the Emperor.)
D'Escan S.—That is true, Prince; but for the very
room that you are spending hundreds of millions, the five,
six, or urea millions that we require can be of no moment
to you. I apprehend that the Emperor must have seen the
note in question, and perhaps we may be permitted to know
his intuitions on the subject.
"' GoaTcHAILOPII.—It is evident that such a matter as
that must have come to his knowledge. But I have received
no instructions, and as I have already said, I must beg you
to repeat our conversation correctly, and to repeat that I
Naive your letter only by way of courtesy, and listen to
your details and this entire conversatim only as information.'
D'Escars thought it useless to press the matter further,
and went to London to tell Cabrera who was expecting him
with impatience, because the first accounts which D'Eacan
must have communicated to you, had led him to conceive
flattering hopes which this conversation did not confirm.
Finding me here, D'Escars requested me to make you
acquainted with what precedes, because he was
too pressed for time, and he went away imme•
diately. After this explanation, we spoke in a general
way about money. It appears that there are no means of
getting any. I put forward your idea of a subscription—
yourself, the Infant, Chambord, Modena, Cabrera, dtc., each
subscribing according to his means to create the basis of a feed.
For myself, I tbink,u fat as Icon see at present,this would be
the shortest way. But there is this additional circum-
stance—the gentlemen here, and especially Chapot, who
appears to be an intelligent man, think that with the foun-
dation of a fund it would be possible to negotiate at Paris.
We therefore strongly recommended them to press these

esmalderations on the Count de Chambsrd, although they
sail ba Gould do but little, his income being otherwise en-
peed. As lat present see no other course open, until Provi-
dence sends us another, we must wore this, and, subject to
your Majesty's approbation, my opinion is that it would be
well to write to Chambord, Modena, and Berry,: to tome to
ea understanding with the principal personages of their town
(atie) to see it they can aid your Majesty. They may do this
without compromising themselves, because the object is to
find a confidential banker with whom funds may be placed,
and no ether names will appear than these of your Ma.
jesty, the Intents, and the Count of Morella. With these
respectable names, and all the collective subscriptions, it is
to be hoped that we may negotiate so as to obtain some•
thing more. The French have attpulated Mot their names
ere not to be ntentioned.ll
with these gentlemen the three principal questions confided
to me, we have resolved them in the following manner:
1. For the moment they do not consider it necessity
that your Majesty should quit Naples; but you should be
ready to leave, either publicly or secretly, whenever it may
be necessary. 2. Oa the subject of money, they have done
nothing, and all that can be said about it I have large:y
developed above. 3. As to what may be done in Spain or
elsewhere,—in Spain, until we have resources, there must
be a thorough re-organisation before commencing. I have
asked Cabrera to point out some persons possessed of the
seceseery qualifications to be put at the head of the pro-
vinces. He has promised me to think about it, and to men-
tion to me any fit name that may occur to him."
In a letter signed by Count Montemolin himself
(a letter also seized) there are these words—" Cabrera
will tell you when you see him what we may hope to
get from Runge With these documents before us,
far from blaming the severity of the French govern-

ment we ought perhaps rather marvel at its long
suffering with regard to the Spanish refugees, and
(in a more especial manner) the French refugees who
have attempted nothing less than to make a diversion
on the Pyrenees in favour of Russia.

On the Bth ult. the garrison of Fort St. Paul made

THE AFFAIR OF HANG°.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 28th ult.
publishes a correspondence between Admiral Dundee
and Prince Dolgoronky, the Russian Minister of War,
relative to the release of the prisoners taken at Hengo.
The substance of these letters has been made known
to the House of Commons by Sir Charles Wood.
Admiral Dundu states that on receiving the letter
from Admiral De Berg (which has been published)
he considered that he should be justified in demanding
a release of the prisoners, as no one exempt from
passion could deny that the object of the landing was
to releue some Russian prisoners, but that he thought
it better to first obtain the authorisation of the
Admiralty. This has been granted, and he encloses
to the Russian minister a copy of the instructions.
The British Admiral concludes:
I ought, moreover to observe, in addition to the remarks
of the Lords Commissioaen of the Admiralty concerning the

occurrences in the Strait of Kertch, that I made it my duty
to inquire into the facts cited by General de Berg u having
taken place in the neighbourhood of Twarminne, and that
I em in a position to deny, in the most peremptory manner,
that any boat of a British vessel in that locality has abused
the flag of truce.

At the same time I begleave to profit by this opportunity to
transmit to General De Berg my thanks for the cue which
he assures me has been paid to the prisoners since their cap-
tivity; and I cannot persuade myself that the government
of his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russia' will persist in
retaining men captured in the set of setting Russian pri-
soners free. Su:h a detention could only serve to further
exasperate the sentiments of animosity which a state of war
naturally produces, but which it is the duty of every civi-
lised nation to mitigate by all the means in its power.

Prince Dolgorouky's reply is of considerable
length. He reviews the three versions of the affair
at Hango ; the one by the seaman Brown; Lieut.
Geneete's account (which the Prince encloses),
and the official report made after as inquiry upon
the spot by General de Berg, and proceeds to argue
that the flag of trace was not seen, and that even
if it had been, the protection it gives would not
extend to the communications with the inhabitants
which the Lieutenant states he was about to make.
Is it said (writes the Russian Minister) that any
officer may forage an enemy's country, reconnoitre the
territory, etchings commuicatione with the inhabitants,'
and if by heedlessness be falls into the hands of a superior
force, may beat a retreat, safe and sound, and avail himself,
when too late, of the pretended title of truce, in order that
when he allows himself to be surprised he may not be de-
tained a prisoner of war 2

Delos,* and de facto, Lieutenant Geneste fell by hie own
fault into our power. The crew which he commanded has
shared hie fats. We have only to regret the loss of six
men, whose lives he imposed by his adventurous enterpri►e,
which nothing jastiiied exoepting hie hope to terminate it
with impunity.

In the meantime, then mud be a limit to the stratagems
ofj war. If not, anything might be thought permimible
under the abased immunity of the deg of Mum. For our
part, we hold ourselves bound to respect end to make
respected all that is sacred by regulations legally recog-
nised in the time of war. That is why we cannot consent,
under the present circumstances, to free Lieut. Geneste
front the captivity which he has brought upon himself and
upon the crew under his command.
I have the honour to invite you. Id. Admiral, to make
this decision known to the Government of her Britannic
Majesty.

The remainder of the Russian Minister's commu-
nication consists of a reiteration of the charges of an
abuse by British vessels of the flag of truce on the
coast of Finland,—a report from the Burgomaster of
Rsumo being annexed in evidence.
