THE BALTIC.

HAMBURG, April 10.—The Euryalus and Impe-
rieuse frigates, and the Conflict screw corvette,
belonging to the British flying squadron, reached
Nyborg yesterday afternoon.
From Kiel we learn that there still remained a
dense mass of ice in that harbour, which had com-
menced moving towards Bulk a couple of days
back, the wind being favourable for its clearing
entirely away seaward ; but the wind veering soon
after in a contrary direction, the ice moved back
again into the harbour, blocking it up as before.
The wind has continued cold for the last two days,
and yesterday morning we had a considerable fall
of snow, which, however, has disappeared.
The Independance Beige says :

" We ha-ve received accounts from Helsingor on the
6th. The advanced guard of the English fleet, which
arrived in that Danish port on the 31st ult , has been
ever since exposed to such danger that apprehension.:
were entertained for the safety of three of toe vessels,
which drifted into the Sound,- with the loss of their au-
chors and all their cables broken by enormous pieces of
ice floating along the coast. A steam-frigate of 42 guns
was so seriously damaged that it will ne probably neces-
sary to bring her back for repairs to an English port.
To-day we were informed that five ships of the squadron
had succeeded in reaching the port of La,ndscrona. Their
unexpected arrival in that Swedish harbour had caused
much sensation. Four other English ships were com-
pelled to turn back and anchor in the Cattegat. On
the 6th no English ship of war remained at .Elsinore.
I have been told that the British Admiralty are endea-
vouring to secure the services of persons speaking
English, Danish, Swedish, but particularly the
Russian language. Those persons are to be employed
on board the Baltic fleet as interpreters, and will
receive salaries proportioned to their proficiency in those
different languages. The French Minister here, M.
Cintrat, has notified to our Senate, by order of his Go-
vernment, that England and France have agreed to per-
mit the free egress, in ballast or with cirgoes, from the
Russian ports in the Baltic or in the White Sea, of the
merchant vessels of all nations lying there at the time of
the renewal of the blockade, provided these vessels have
t not entered those harbours in violation of the blockade
.of 1854. Instructions to that effect have been given by
the two maritime Powers to the commanders of their
'.raising squadrons."

TTiE VIENNA. CON FERENCE.
-,VIENNA, APRIL B.—The French Minister for
For, ciign Affairs yesterday had an audience of the
Emperor, and the assurance has been given me
that 1 ie made an extremely favourable impression
on his Majesty. It is now 1 o'clock, and aboht a
quarter
.of an hour ago Ali Pasha, the Turkish Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs, was introduced to Count
Buol. At 3 the eighth regular Conference will be
held.
The Vienno, politicians have succeeded in per-
suading themselves that M. Drouyn de Mugs has
instruction to in.ake peace at any price, but a very
different impression prevails in diplomatic circles.
Some important information, which has to-day
been received, induces me to believe that Aus-
tria will at last consider it advisable to carry
out article 5 of the treaty of December 2, and
" to deliberate without delay on effectual means
for obtaining the object of her alliance with
England and France." Prince Gortschakoff
and M. de Titoff continue to assure his Ma-
jesty and Count Buol that Russia is prepared to
make great concessions for the sake of peace, but
the. Austrian authorities are well aware that they
regularly receive reports from the numerous Rus-
sian agents who, in Servia, Montenegro, Albania,
Routnelia, &c., are preparing the Greek Christians
to make a diversion in favour of Russia, " should
it become requisite." The inhabitants of the Aus-
, .
I Tian provinces bordering on Servia and Bosnia
in general belong to the schismatic Greek
Ch Crob, and as they have for a long series of
y„-re ben accustomed to consider the Czars their
spi ritual chiefs, the machinations of Russia are
dou thly daogerous for this empire. The fore-
infora;ation was derived from an excelient
sou rce ; but it just now strikes me that the alleged
unq ttiet state of Servia may serve Austria as an
excv, tale for not consenting to take an active part in
the a .ar, should Russia perSist in her refusal to
give J. he guarantees demanded.
The only other news worth communicating is,
that S it John Burgoyne, who is on his way home
from t he Crimea, arrived last night, and will re-
main i n Vienna until Wednesday.
This is Easter Sunday, and the whole world,
with tl ie exception of the members of the COO° r-
oue e— and your correspondent—is in the Prater,
whi ch, as you are aware, is the Hyde Park of
Vie Dna .
