THE BALTIC FLEET.

DANTzic, Nov. 16.—The Locust,s,Lieulenant
Bythesea commanding, left Nargen on Saturday
last, the 10th inst., and after delivering some de-
spatches from the Commander-in• Chief to the ves-
sels at present stationed at Faro Sund, continued
her voyage to Dantzic, where she arrived at a late
hour last night.
By her we receive the long-expected intelligence
that Admiral Dundas sailed from Nargen, in tie
Duke of Wellington, last Sunday, and passed Faro,
on his way to Kiel, during the afternoon of the fol•
lowing day.
Admiral Baynes, who has taken the command
of all the vessels now remaining in the Baltic, is at
Nargen, in his flag-ship Retribution ; Admiral
Penaud, in the Tourville, is likewise there, and in•
tends, it would seem, to remain some little time
longer in the Gulf of Finland.

The Locust ]eft here again at about 4 o'clock this
afternoon for Kiel, to which place all despatch's
from England for Admiral Dundas will, in futures
be forwarded, the weekly communication between
the fleet and Dantais having ceased tc-day w:tii
the arrival and departure of the Locust.

THE MED.

MARSEILLES, Novetr ber 17.—The steam frigat•
Panama arrived yesterday. She sailed from
Constantinople on the Ist instant and Malta the
11th, having on board 1,150 of the gen larmerie
of the Imperial Guard, with the staff and bail
of the regiment. They remained several hours
on board, their arrival being unexpected, and no
quarters prepared for them. When landed they
were drawn up under arms on the quay of the
Joliette, whence they marched into town, their
Colonel on horseback at their head, and the
band playing before them. Nothing could be
finer than their appearance. They are in ex-
cellent health, and were it not that their faces
are bronzed with the Crimean sun, one might
think they had never quitted their comfortable
quarters in Paris. It was laughable to see
the Custom-house officers go through the form
of searching their knapsacks for smuggled goods
before they left the port. When they arrived in
town they received billets on private houses, all the
barracks being occupied. They leave to-night by
railway for Paris.
Serious inconvenience was caused here on Tues•
day last by a collision which took place on the rail-
way between Lyons and Marseilles, by which the
electric wires were broken The messages which
were transmitted that morning by electric tele-
graph from Marseilles on the arrival of the Gange
from Constantinople were detained several hours.

The following are some details given by the Paris
journals of the great conflagration last night. The
Moniteur says :
"A. violent fire broke out yesterday evening in oie
of the warehouses of the Manutention, on the Quai
de Billy. The whole of the building IRAs con•
somsd ; all hope of saving it was abandoned from
the commencement of the fire. The ovens have
not been injured, and the adjoining store houses
were preserved. At half-past nine the fire was got under,
and no fear any longer exited for the other ~buildings.
At at hour it was not known that any serious accident
bad occurred to any of the persons who had assisted in
checking the progress of the fire. M. de La Condaminel
carom-ndant of the firemen, directed the operations.
Tl,e Ministers of War, Interior, and Public Works,
Marshal Magnan, the General Commanding the Impe-
rial Guard, and the Prefect of Police were present."
