DER ITCH FROM ADMIRAL PENAITD.

The following despatch was posted at the Paris
Bowie yesterday, where it produced an enormous
sessatioa :

"Ministry of Marls, mad Colonies.

" DANIZIC. Lao. 14.

"Admiral Ponied to the Minister of Marine.

"The bombardment of Sweaborg has been fully
sueosedaL A terrifie fire, which lasted 4 hours, de-
stroyed nearly all the stores and magazines of the sr-
esnal,which is now only a heap of ruin.. Several maga-
zines for powder and shell exploded. The enemy has
received a terrible blow, and be. suffered enormous

lasses. Our for is very trifling, and the ships have
not received the slightest injury. The seamen of
the fleet ars in the greatest enthusiasm.
"On bard the Tonrville, Aug. 11, 1835.
"Admiral PENAUD.
"The French Minister at Dantzio,
H BRUARD. '

It was a quarter to three o'clock (within a quarter
of an hour of the close of business) that the above
despatch was posted. The Commissary of Polies
who placed it on the wall raised a cry of " Vire
I'Empereur." The news that a great success had
been achievedsran through the building with the ra-
pidity of electricity, and for several minutes many
people thought that the southern put of Sebastopol
had been taken. A telegraphic despatch from Lon-
don had represented that no great operation was
likely to be undertaken at Sweaborg, and therefore
the present intelligence came quite unexpectedly.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nor ova Ova OWN 00111ZIPDXIMIT.)
PARIS, TCIIDAT EVININO.

Business at the Bourse had been very fist all day,
bat during the few minutes that transpired between
the publication of the news from Bweaborg and the
ringing of the closing bell, a great many speculative
purchaaes were made in the Rente. The closing
price for time, 67fr. 50e., was 25c. higher than yes-
terday, but for cash the rise was only sc. Bank of
France rose 10fr. There was little change in rail-
ways, but they, like all other securities, were in ras•
quest at the last moment. A large business was
done in the Austrian Railway, which rose 10fr.
After the Bourse, some maulers proceeded to
erect floral triumphal arches in the Passage de
l'Opera, and the police, whose mission it generally
is to make people move on in that quarter, did not
interfere with them. There is no doubt that a blow
has been struck which Russia must feel very much.,
It will be impossible to conceal from the inhabitants
of the Russian capital that a great disaster has
occurred. The position of Bweaborg in relation to
St. Petersburg may be compared to that of Sheerness
with regard to Chatham. At St. Petersburg the'
population must have heard the cannon and seen the
flames, and must bare known that the stores upon
which Croostadt is in great measure dependent were
being destroy. d.

The following despatch, dated Vienna, yesterday
main, confirms, from a Russian source, the fact of
the bombardment, and of its long doted= :
" Despatches from Bt. Petersburg of the 11th an-
nounce that the Allied fleets opened the bombard.
meat against Bwesborg on the 9th, and had kept it
up with great energy to the above date.—The last ac-
counts which have reached Vienna from Constanti-
nople state that it is not probable that Omer Pscha
will take the command of the army of Asia.—The
Austrian Gazette contradicts the assertion of a eon-
wrist having been concluded between the Holy flee
and Austria."

1 I learn that this despatch u ant contained Moen
words which have been suppressed by the French
government.

lished news from Constantinople :
