HAMELIN'S ADDRESS TO THE BLACK'.

SEA FLEET.

The following order of the day has been address e d
by Admiral Hamelin to the squadron in the Bla
Sea. It is dated the 20th ult.:--
"The Vice-Admiral commanding-in-chief testifies b
satisfaction to the squadron at the manner in which i
fulfilled its duties during the last cruise, which has no
been without some lustre for our arms. The Imperia
port of Odessa reduced to ashes, with all that it contained,
the enemy challenged in Sebastopol, and not daring t'
come out ; Russian merchant vessels captured at sea o r
in open port ; the fifteen forts which Russia had Itel4l
for the last half century on the coast of Circassia, aban
doned by her in expectation of our attacks ; and, lastly,-
the Russian flag driven from that Black Sea where iU
pretended to be master ; such are the first results o
tained by our ships of the line, cr by the steamers actin f;
under their mgis. Another fact, not less remarkabb
has been proved, which is, that the nineteen sail of th te
line of the two combined squadrons have sailed in con 1"
pany for more than a:month with perfect ensemlle; an 4
that, in the midst of thick and almost owitinual fog.
they have cruised for twenty days off Sebastopol wit!).
out any accident or being separated, so constant hag
been the attention of each to watch the movements of
the admirals, and the signals which were made too btaie
the above result. The Vice-Admiral commandincr-in*
chief has hastened to point out to the Government of the
Emperor the fresh claims which the squadron has 008
acquired to the confidence of the country. The pre lent
order of the day shall be read to the crews assembled for
the purpose, and posted up on the mainmast.
"By order,
" C. BOUET-WILLAUMEZ,
Chef d'Etat Major of the Black Sea Squadron."'

The Monitcur publishes the following offic
announcement

"The Emperor received to-day in a private Rutile) tee
Baron de Hubner, the Austrian envoy, who lia(l', the
honour of presenting to his Majesty a letter from the
Emperor of Austria, notifying his marriage with the
Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria."

The Semaphore of Marseilles, in mentioning the
arrival of the steam-packet Thabor, with the n 10,11
of the 25th ult. from Constantinople, states t. hat
she has arrived three days before she was expect( id•
While at Smyrna she was joined by the Govez
meat steamer Berthollet, which had come fro 1:4
Constantinople with all speed to put on board t: he
Thabor very urgent despatches for the French at to
English Governments, giving, at the same time,
directions to the captain to proceed with all possible
speed, and to shorten the period of his stay at the
different ports at which he had to call. It is sup-
posed, adds the Semaphore, that the despatches in
question relate to some important event which ha 0,
taken plaCe on •.the theatre of war near the Lowe t
Danube.
