A letter from Vienna of the 3d, in the Cologlic
Gazette, says
"The Russian ambassador has had to•day
another
long conference with Count Buol, and he received in
the assurance that Russia persists in her pacific senti-
ments, and will not abandon the principles laid down ill
the protocols of Vienna. Shortly after this interview
the ambassador sent off a courier to Warsaw. n
is
positively asserted that Lord Westmoreland will not
again return to this city as ambassador, but Lady West-
moreland has just arrived here from Prague. Marshal F.-
detzki yesterday feted his 50th anniversary of his promo'
tion to the grade of general. He is 89 years ofage, and tie.
served 71 years. In reply to an autograph letter from
Emperor Francis Joseph, congratulating him on tberei
storation of his health, the old general has requellie.
to be allowed to retire. The news from Italy are
very important ; a great number of arrests have beet
effected Lombardy. Most of the persons arrested are
accused of having taken part in Mazzinian conspiracies,
and some of having attempted to seduce soldiers filer
their duty. The Turkish Ambassador, Arif Effendi, 15

THE BALTIC FLEET.
DANTSIC, Sept. 7.—On the 29th ult., the Oil:
gon beii.g in want of fresh water the boats Wel
despatched to replenish at a place about ten Leil,(l4
north of Libau ; all precautionary arrangement
ci
were made ; the boats sent were fully manure'
and armed, to protect the watering party,„„

had not, however, been very long so emploYe
when a military horseman rode towards then!"
and after having taken a good survey fired hi'
carbine at the watering party without, hove/84
doing any harm. This being perceived on board
the Gorgon, they a dtniuist6red a gentle hint to th_e_
individual, by dropping a 10.incli shell in rather
alarming proximity to his horse's tail, on seeiq
which he immediately decamped. The process °
watering continued without further interruptioa7
until the requisite quantity had been obtained, er..
just as the last boat was about to leave the 8136'.°
a body of infantry and some cavalry made o°lr
appearance, and opened a fire upon the retitle;
bows, which was duly returned by them. TD:
Gorgon also favoured the Russian troops with sore,
more 10-inch shells, under cover of which our boa 7, .
all reached the vessel in safety. Strange to sar..o
one was hurt on our side in the affair.
Last Sunday, the 2J September, the Imperiense

Seskar Island, with the squadron under his ;114
mand) were anchored some seven or eight
from Tolboukin Lighthouse, and on one of tb
dense fogs, now so prevalent in the Baltic, ell,

followed them as close in as they could go t''
batteries. It seems from all accounts that the

probably come out to try her engines ; as it In, •
