GENEI?AL CAIVROBERT AT STOCKLTOL3I.

We read in the Aftonbladet of Nov. 7 :
" To-day, at one o'clock, General Canrobert was
received in audience by the King, in his capacity
of French ambassador. General Canrobert was
conveyed from the Brunkenlerg Hotel to the royal
residence in a state carriage of the court, drawn by
eight white horses, preceded by several outriders
and runners, and surrounded by servants of the
royal house, all of whom were in grand livery.
This carriage was followed by another, drawn by
four horses, in which sat Colonel Comedy, General
Canrobert's aide-de-camp ; and Captain Bjoernst-
jerna, the King's aide-de-camp, who, by order of
his Majesty, will act as aide-de-camp to the illus-
trious general during his sojourn at Stockholm.
Along the whole route the procession was saluted
with cries of Vive Canrobert ! Vive la France 1'
At the gate of the King's palace General Canrobert
was received by the marshal of the kingdom, who
conducted his excellency into the presence of the
King.
" To-day the King will give a grand dinner to
General Canrobert. The high dignitaries of the
kingdom, and a large number of the chief civil and
military functionaries, have been invited.
" On Monday next a performance will take place
at the Theatre Royal, in honour of General Canro-
bert. It will be Mozart's celebrated opera, the
Zaubdrflote.' The King has, moreover, invited
General Canrobert to take his place in the box of
the royal family whenever he may feel disposed to
go to the theatre."
We read in the same journal : "The high im-
portance of the mission which General Canrobert
has come to Stockholm to fulfil is seen in the fact
that the King has summoned Baron Manderstroem
from Vienna in all haste. The baron was formerly
Minister for Foreign Affairs, and is now Swedish
and Norwegian Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Court of Austria."
The Borsenhalle has a letter from Stockholm in
which we read :
"At the palace the Ambassador Extraordinary
of the Emperor of the French was received with
great ceremony. The Princes Oscar and Augustus
and the Minister of Foreign Affairs were present
at the audience of the King, to whom General Can-
robert presented an autograph letter from his
sovereign and the Grand Cross of the Legion of
Honour. An hour after this presentation the doors
of the audience chamber were thrown open, and
Colonel Cordedy was presented to the King.
" The ambassador then paid visits to the mem-
bers of the Royal family, and presented to the
Prince Royal the insignia of the order of the Legion
of Honour, as he had done to the King. The audi-
ence lasted two hours.
"At three o'clock the ambassador was escorted
back with the same ceremonial to the hotel of the
French legation, where he alighted. It is supposed
that his sojourn at Stockholm will last at least eight
days."

CAPTURE OF RUSSIANS IN THE SEA
OF OKIIO7'SK.

We are favoured by the Secretary of the Penin-
sular and Oriental Company with the following
extract of a letter from the company's agent at
Hong Kong, received from Calcutta yesterday, and
bearing date four days later than those brought by
the last China advices :
The Bremen brig Greta arrived in this harbour yes-
terday, in charge of Lieutenant Gibson, R.N. She was
taken a prize by her Majesty's steamer Barracouta on
the Ist of August in the Sea of Okhotsk, ut,der American
colours, and having on board 277 Russian sailors, part
of the crew of the Russian frigate Diana, which was
wrecked some months 5.7,0 on the coast of Japan."
According to other accounts from Hong Kong,
of the 19th of September, her Majesty's ship Rat-
tler returned from Cochin China on the 16th, with
Mr. Wade, whose mission had been unsuccessful.
The Russian fleet was supposed to be to the
north of the River Amoor.
i The Friend of China, in an extra edition dated
Tuesday, September 18, has the following :
" The Bremen brig Greta arrived on the 18th, in
charge of Lieutenant Gibson, of her Majesty's steam-.
ship Barracouta. The Greta was found in the Okhotsk
Sea, about seven weeks ago, with 280 Russians of the
wrecked Diana's crew, including a Prince of the blood.
The prisoners were distributed as follows ;--Barracouta,
80 ; Pique, 100 ; Spartan, 100."
