THE BALTIC.

A letter from Hamburg states that the accounts
which have reached that city from diff rent ports
in the Baltic lea-ire no doubt of the fact of the ap-
pearance of cholera in those ports, and particu-
larly at the ports more immediately in contact with
the English fleet. At Dantzic, which is every
week visited by one or two English vessels of war,
there have been several cases, and it is said that a
number of seamen in the fleet have been attacked,
and that-several cases have proved fatal.
The Independanee Beige publishes the following
letter, dated from the frontiers of Poland, the 24th
inst. :

" The Grand Duke Michael has returned to
Warsaw from his excursion to the environs of
Radom, during which he inspected the troops sta-
tioned on the Austrian frontier. His object in
undertaking that voyage was not, as was stated,
to have an interview with the Emperor of Austria,
who had already left Cracow, and has, no doubt,
ere now terminated his tour through the pro-
vinces of Gallicia. Yesterday morning the
Grand Duke attended Divine service in the
church of St. Alexander Newski, near the palace
of Labienski, which he inhabits, and at seven
o'clock p.m. he reviewed the artillery of the garri-
son. Prince Paske witch, slightly indisposed for
some time, is at present nearly recovered. Although
suffering he continued to displaythe greatest activity
in providing for every emergency, notwithstanding
the increased labour entailed on him by the reor-
ganisation of the Russian corps of army, two of which
are placed under his immediate command. In a few
days the Marshal intends to undertake another jour-
ney to inspect this time the militia assembled in the
western and central provinces of the Empire, whose
armament and equipment are proceeding with
celerity. Cholera has reappeared at Warsaw some
days since. It has not reached a degree of very
great intensity ; the cases, however, amount to be-
tween 40 and 50 daily, two-thirds of which are
fatal. In the military hospitals the proportion of
deaths is larger. The authorities have not yet
thought proper to publish daily bulletins of the
progress of the malady, but the Grand Master of
the Police has just issued a proclamation, permit-
ting smoking in the streets of Warsaw, considering
that many regard it as a preservative against the
contagion."

RUSSIA.
THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

We have received the St. Petersburg journals of
the 20th, 21st, and 22d June.

The Tnvalide Russe publishes the following de-
spatches from Prince Gortschakoff :
" SEBASTOPOL, 4TH (16TH) OF JUNE.
" From the 31st of May to the 4th of June
(12th) to 16th) the fire of the enemy kainst Se-
bastopol was weak ; our daily losses were mode-
rate.

" On the 31st of May (12th of June) the enemy's
squadron having' left about 2,000 men, chiefly
Turks, at Kertch and Yenikale, returned to the
Black Sea.

" On the 3d (15th) of June the enemv's squadron,
which had been to Kertch, arrived off Sehastopol.
" On the other points of the Crimea where our
troops are stationed nothing of importance has
occurred."

SEBASTOPOL, STH (17TH) OF JUNE.
"On the sth (17th) of June, at daybreak, the
enemy re-opened a furious cannonade against the
left half of our line of defence ; at 2 p.m., their
fire slackened against the 3d and 4th sections, but
commenced with renewed violence against our
right flank ; that is to say, against the Ist and 2d
sections.

" Our batteries replied briskly. At nightfall
the cannonade somewhat slackened ; in general it
was heavier to-day than on any previous occasion.
" This morning at daybreak a division of the
enemy, about 15,000 strong, crossed the Tchernaya,
near Tchorgoun, and pitched its tents between the
villages of Koutschka And Schoulu."
" SEBASTOPOL, 6TH (18TH) JUNE, 2 P.M.

" After 21 hours of the most murderous cannon-
ade and most fearful bombardment, this morning
at daybreak the enemy gave the assault to Bastions
1,2, 3, and Kornileff. (Bastion 2 is the Malak-
hoff, and Bastion 3 the Redan.) Driven back on
all points, with great loss, the French retreated,
leaving 600 prisoners in our hands."
Prince Gortschakoff adds—

" The heroism of all the defenders of Sebastopol,
from the General to the private, has reached the
highest point."
The Military Governor-General of St. Peters-
burg has issued the following notifications. Under
date of oth (18th) of June, ho says :
" A man-of-war and a frigate of the enemy have
cast anchor near Schepeleva-Gora, and advices from
Soikina-Gora state that the enemy have set fire to
some buildings on Seskar Island.
"On the 7th (19th) of June the man-of-war and
frigate were still at anchor at ScAlepeleva-Gora.."
A third notification says :
" To-day, the Bth (20th) of June, at 10 p.m., a
telegraphic message was received from Cronstadt,
that the enemy's fleet, consisting of 13 ships of the

line, two frigates, three steamers, and eight gun-
boats, had let Seskar Island and approached Cron-
stadt, and without arriving as far as the Tolbeacon
Lighthouse had cast anchor at each side of it.

AUSTRIA.
A letter from Vienna in the Silesian, Gazette,
says :—" It is stated that in consequence of the
reduction made in the effective strength of the
army, the superior command of the 3d and 4th
corps d'armee will be done away with, and the
functions of commander-in-chief, now exercised by
Baron de Hess -will be suppressed. Baron de
Hess will, ho :never, remain under the immediate
orders of one Emperor, in quality of chief of the
military chancellery." Another letter from Vienna,
in tie Lloyd of Pesth, states that Prince Gortscha-
koff has handed a note to Count Buol, the object
of which is to prove that the assembling of Russian
troops in Poland and Bessarabia is not a measure
directed against Austria, but that they are only
intended to complete and reinforce the Russian
armies of the Crimea and of the Caucasus.
