AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 3d, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :
"The Russian ambassador has had to-day another
long conference with Count Buol, and he received in it:
the assurance that Russia persists in her pacific senti-
ments, and will not abandon the principles laid down in_
the protocols of Vienna. Shortly after this interview
the ambassador sent off a courier to Warsaw. It 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 Ra-
detzki yesterday feted his 50th anniversary of his promo-
tion to the grade of general. He is 89 years ofage, and has
served 71 years. In reply to an autograph letter from the
Emperor Francis Joseph, congratulaling him on the re-
storation of his health, the old general has requested
to be allowed to retire. The news from Italy are
very important ; a great number of arrests have been
effected in Lombardy. Most of the persons arrested are
accused of having taken part in Mazzinian conspiracies,
and some of having attempted ;to seduce soldiers from
their duty. The Turkish Ambassador. Arif Effendi, is
to leave in the course of the week for Constantinople on.
a three months' leave of absence. The acts of piracy
which have lately taken place at the mouth of the Sulina
have caused our Government to send the war steamer
the Archduke Albert to protect the navigation."

THE BALTIC FLEET.
DANTSIC, Sept. 7.—On the 29th ult., the Gor-
gon beit:g in want of fresh water the boats were
despatched to replenish at a place about ten miles
north of Libau ; all precautionary arrangements
were made ; the boats sent were fully manned,
and armed, to protect the watering party, the
Gorgon covering them with her guns. They
had not, however, been very long so employed
when a military horseman rode towards them,
and after having taken a good survey fired his
carbine at the watering party without, however,
doing any harm. This being perceived on board
the Gorgon, they administered a gentle hint to the
individual, by dropping a 10. inch shell in rather
alarming proximity to his horse's tail, on seeing
which he immediately decamped. The process of
watering continued without further interruption
until the requisite quantity had been obtained, and
just as the last boat was about to leave the shOre
a body of infantry and some cavalry made their
appearance, and opened a fire upon the retiring
boats, which was duly returned by them. The
Gorgon also favoured the Russian troops with some
more 10-inch shells, under cover of which our boats
all reached the vessel in safety. Strange to say no
one was hurt on our side in the affair.

Last Sunday, the 2d September, the Imperieuse
and Colossus (which two vessels remained at Cron-
stadt when Admiral Seymour left that place for
Seskar Island, with the squadron under his com-
mand) were anchored some seven or eight miles
from Tolboukin Lighthouse, and on one of those
dense fogs, now so prevalent in the Baltic, sud-
denly clearing off, they perceived a Russian squa-
dron, consisting of a 90 gun steam line-of-battle
ship, a frigate, two steamers, and some gun boats,
almost close to them. Nothing daunted by
the sight of this superior force, the Im•
perieuse and Colossus slipped their cables, and
pushed in to meet the enemy, when, to their sur-
prise, the Russian squadron turned tail, and veil
quietly ran into port. The two British vessels
chased them right inside Tolboukin ; indeed, they
followed them as close in as they could go to the
batteries. It seems from all accounts that the 90
gun steam-liner was quite a new vessel, and had
probably come out to try her engines ; as it wa4
Sunday a large concourse of people had assem-
bled on the piers and quays of Cronstadt to see the
mighty liner, with her 90 mouths, make her trial
trip, and were, of course, witnesses of the inglori-
ous retreat.

The Vulture is detained here until to-nforrow,
in consequence of the non-arrival of the courier
from England with despatches for Admiral Dundas.

DENMARK
A letter from Berlin of the 4th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" Austria is said to have offered
her mediation to Denmark, in her difference with
the United States. Doubts are entertained here es
to whether the United States will consent to the
compromise which Denmark intends proposing, of
lowering the Sound duties generally, but Prussia;
would be quite disposed to accept it. The son 01
the Prince of Prussia, Prince Frederick Wilhaw,
has left for Ostend to-day ;he will stay until all big
family return to Berlin, for the marriage of th?,
Princess Louisa with the Prince Regent of Baden•

A letter from Bucharest of the 27th ult. states
that the solemn fetes of the Kourban-Bairam, which
last five days, had been celebrated there with con-
siderable pomp by the Turkish military authorities.
A fete in honour of the Sultan was besides cele-
brated on the 26th, in the gardens of Warmber4
at the expense of Suleyman Pacha, commander co.
the Turkish troops. The Wallachian Government
did not send a military band to give a serenade °
the Pacha, and this was considered an act of dig;
courtesy—serenadeshaving been given to the repro;
s,,ntatives of other countries on the occasion o'.
their sovereign's fete. Very few Austrian offi9ells
of superior rank were at the fete. The rejoicings
terminated by a magnificent display of fireworks'
-o-hich, amongst other things, represented the eV°
of the Sultan.
