WAR MOVEMENTS IN THE PACIFIC.

The Polynesian of March 24 says
The combined English and French squadron is ex-
pected at the islands in the months of April or May,
and we understand, from rumour, that another attack is
to be made upon Petropaulovski as soon as the place
can be safely approached after the breaking up of the
ice, We also, hear that the squadron will be increased
by the addition of a line-of-battle-ship, a steam-frigate,
and a smaller vessel or two on the part of the English,
with a similar addition to the, French division, the par-
ticulars of which we have not heard stated. Honolulu
is a convenient port at which to rendezvous before going
north, and we have been informed that it has been ap-
pointed such by the Commander-in-Chief,"
The line-of-battle-ship is the Monarch, 84, Captain
Pat( y, to take the flag of Rear-Admirai Brt.ce, and is, by
this time, on the station.
Accounts from San Francisco, dated April 16, state
that— _ _ _

" Pique' 36, Captain Sir F. Nicolson, Bart., left San
Francisco April 4. Her destination was kept secret, it
being supposed that the captain had sealed orders re-
ceived from the admiral by the mail which had arrived a
week previously. It was given out that the Pique was
merely going to practise her guns outside the bay. She
had " provisionea " for six months just before sailing.
One conjecture is that she may have proceeded to the
north to look out for the Russian frigate Aurora (44
guns), which is supposed to have left, or to be about
leaving, Petropaulovski, where she wintered ; and an-
'other conjecture is that the Pique has gone to the
Sandwich Islands to join the combined English and
French squadrons.
" Some apprehension is felt here, chiefly by the
French, which the English do not participate in, that
two Russian armed vessels belonging to the Russian
American Company, which have laid in this port for
some months, are about to sail on a privateering cruise,
for which they would seem to have been for some little
time hack preparing. One of these vessels, the Kau t-
schatka, is a fine fleet ship of about 650 tons, carrying
10 guns, of which two are large ones ; she has laid here
for over four months ; she lost her crew by desertion,
but has lately been busy completing a new crew, and is
now ready to proceed to sea at any moment. She 1-as
no cargo. Considering the risks she was bold enough to
run in getting down from Sitka, with several French
and English men of war on the coast, of whom some
were in the harbour of San Francisco when she arrived
here, it is generally believed that her captain has the
spirit and audacity to attempt the capture of a prize,
now that he is relieved from the presence of all the men
of war on the stadia). The other vessel, the Nicholas
the First, has been hers for two months. She is a ship
of much the same character as the Kamtschatka' but is
quite unprepared to go to sea. Nothing could be easier
for the Kamtschatka than to pick up an English or
French merchantman on this coast, and run down with
her prize to Sitka. It is possible, however, that the
captain of the Pique, apprehending such an attempt,
may be still hovering on the outside the harbour, on
purpose to tempt the Russian vessel to sally out, and it
is known that the Pique was heard practising her guns
in the offing three.days after she left port."
From the Sandwich Islands we learn that the Dido,
18, Captain Moorhead, C. 13., had arrived at Honolulu
from Callao, where she had left the admiral waiting for
the arrival of his flag-ship from England.
