PROCLAMATION OF PRINCE GORTSCSA-

KOFF~ (THE ~GENERAL)v TO THE DO-
BRUDSCHIANS.

The Lloyd of Vienna publishes the following
proclamation from Prince Gortschakoff to the in-
habitants of the Dobrudscha

" Our victorious troops, with the benediction of God,
having succeeded in delivering you from the savage
Turks, and supporting you in the exercise of your re'
ligion, which is siso ours, I consider it my duty to in"
form you that we are obliged to quit you at present to
fight against another enemy. We hope that God will
allow us to conquer it, as we have the Turks. Pray i°
your churches, which we have enriched with so marl
gifts, for our success. The Russian crosses glitter proudly
on the summit of your towers, from which the
unbelievers will never dare to remove them. During
our momentary absence the Turks will return to your
country to take vengeance on you, for they are inew
pable of doing so on us. Come with us ; the C
hereby informs you that his empire is large enough to re'
ceive you and feed you all, were you one hundred tiro°
more numerous. On the left bank of the Dniester theZP
are extensive and fertile countries, which, at the pries
of a little cultivation, give abundant fruits. Go then to
that district, and abandon this cursed and inhospitable
land. They who respond to that appeal will be with to,
and will receive large succour from the Czar in money
and corn ; whilst they who remain here and refuse to
proceed to that blessed land, will be struck with the
malediction of God, and the anger of our Czar will know
how to reach them."
" This proclamation," says the Lloyd, " was tall
to all the villages by Cossacks, who horribly maltreated
all who refused to follow the Russians. In the °ern.
mune of Kassimitshi, nine of the ten Cossacks who took
the proclamation were killed ; and as the other self
munes joined that just named in resisting the Ruesiat'
these latter were obliged to suspend for a time the
punishment which they wanted to inflict on the disobe-
dient communes. It is true that Mustapha Pacha, who
is at Satebey with 29,000 men, may have contributed
that result. A letter from Moldavia states that sever'"
new bridges have been thrown over the Pruth, neap' f '
Skulini. Three new bridges have also been constructs"
over the Sereth, near Nernolosa. Great fortifications
are being made at Ismail."

THE ALLIED ARMIES IN THE EAST.
SCHUMLA, July 10.—Three Austrian officers.°f
rank have arrived as Commissioners of the Imper
army, and left to-day for Varna.
Omer Pasha has returned from Varna, and god
in a day or two to Rustchuk.
A detachment of English cavalary, under Lora
Cardigan, has arrived here, after a long WO"
naissance on the banks of the Danube.
The detachment returns to-day to Devno, front
which price it has been absent about a fortnight.

THE BALTIC.
ARRIVAL OF FRENCH TROOPS IN THE
BALTIC.
NYBORG, SaturdayEvening.—The British squad-
ron, consisting of two three-deckers, three two-
deckers, and three paddle-steamers, have passed
the Great Belt, and are steering up the Baltic
-without having stopped here.
It is expected that they have gone to the Aland
Isles, there to meet the Baltic fleets of both
countries, and to take possession of them as a per-
manent station for the land force.
AIA

RTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED AT RIGA.
According to advices from the Baltic of the 9th
Instant martial law had been proclaimed at Riga
and in the district of the Duna, in consequence of
the hostility manifested by the inhabitants towards
the Russian Government.

INTENDED BOMBARDMENT OF
BOMARSUND.
DANTZIC, SUNDAY EVENING.—BOMarSUIId, in the
Aland Isles, is to be bombarded on the arrival of
the French troops.
The fleet has left Baro Sound, and the cholera

---
BALTIC FLEET, BARO SOUND, July B.—As we
slowly and majestically approached the neighbour-
hood of the Russian capital how changed did the
scenery appear on either shore, when contrasted
with the rocky pine-clad hills of the Finland Gulf,
tear its entrance at Hango. Our mighty steam
fleet, conscious of its strength to punish the haugh-
tiest of all haughty Autocrats of all the Russias,
steamed boldly onwards, disgorging black volumes
of smoke that clouded the' horizon, and threw the
Camp fires of the Russian soldiery into the shade.
The Toll Beacon Lighthouse was now in sight, its
occupants beating a hasty retreat as the allied fleet
advanced to reconnoitre. Up went a signal to the
light division of the fleet, when within a few miles
of the lighthouse, to " look out for infernal ma-
chines," or "machines" rather, as the admiral
politely though significantly called them, the dear
old man evidently having some regard for the fel-
low's feelings in withholding the word infernal ;
but he need not have been delicate on that score,
as the signal was plain to the meanest capacity.
The vessels despatched on this delicate duty were,
the Imperieuse, Arrogant, Desperate, Bulldog, and
a French steam-sloop. On they went, fearlessly set-
ting all such diabolical agencies at defiance, nor
stopped until they arrived within dangerous proxi-
mity to the fortifications. We had a capital view
of the enemy. His soldiers, refulgent iu a-

SPAIN.
The Madrid mail did not arrive in Paris yester-
day, but it was again reported here that the Go-
vernment had received a telegraphic despatch,
which announced that, after a great deal of fighting
in the course of the 19th, Madrid remained on the
evening of that day in the hands of the people, who
were complete masters of the capital, and that a
provisional Government had been proclaimed.
The Moniteur, of Monday, announces that a
letter from Madrid of the 19th states that the
Queen had sent for Espartero, in order to form a
Government.
The General was at Saragossa on the 20th, and
must be now in Madrid.
A letter from Madrid says :—" The Gazette an-
nounces that until the Cortes are convoked the press
will be regulated by the law of July 6, 1845. The
decree of May 19, respecting the payment in ad-
vance of the taxes for six months, is recalled."
It is said that, according to private accounts
received by telegraph from Madrid, to the 20th,
the fighting continued in the streets of the Spanish
capital, and the neighbourhood of the Queen's
Palace, which, however, was not taken by the
mob. The rest of the city' was in the hands of the
insurgents. A Provisional Government was in-
stalled at the Hotel de Ville, of which General
Evariste San Miguel was president. The new
Government had lost all controul over the insur-
gents. Every one was calling for the Constituent
Cortes.

of the presence of—and many severe, yet highly

Some of theßussian ships are heavy three-deckers;
two of them are moored stem to stern across the
narrow channel near the dockyard. They are fine-
looking ships, ,long in the hulls. Two out of nine
ships that we counted flew admirals' flags. Rus-
sian admirals appear numerous, and apparently
have nothing better to do than admire their bunt-
ing in the breeze. The Cronstadt division of the
fleet consists, as well as could be distinguished, of
16 line-of-battle ships, eight frigates of various
Sizes, and about ten or a dozen small steamers.
One of the frigates seemed to be a screw-pro-
pelled one. There was one small steamer which,
for rapidity of movement, might have vied with
our CCVivid." This despatch boat was pro-
bably employed by the Emperor for transmitting.

Another imperial residence was conspicuous, its
Shape in the pavilion style of architecture—if there
be such an one. In approaching Cronstadt excite-
rent did not altogether supersede a good deal of
quiet mirth. The flying squadron that had gone
ahead in search of the infernal machines came sud-
denly to a stand off Toll beacon, and like true dogs
of war immediately pointed ; a mysterious-looking
buoy, with something red attached, appalled them.
They were now satisfied of the truth of the infernal
machine story. A boat was lowered, which pulled
onwards with timid strokes to certain death. They
neared the spot. Some thousand strained eyes were
fixed upon the devoted crew as they approached
the diabolical thing all red. With desperate energy
a noose was thrown around its neck, and the
boat's crew made frantic efforts to give way to-
Wards their ship. The hammock nettings of the
ships were crowded with a terrific weight of palpi-
tating curiosity, but how ridiculous afterwards was

employes. We had a commanding view of the
place. The admirals, French and English, com-
modores, ch., all visited the tower to survey the
locality. An enemy, more powerful than man,
obliged us, on the 2d instant, to withdraw from
before the walls of Cronstadt. Great, indeed,

altogether out of the Gulf, and consider a cruise in
the Baltic Proper essential towards restoring health I
amongst the men.

A letter from Saragossa, of the 18th, says that
the pronunciamento had succeeded in that city
without any fighting. Espartero was expected on
the 19th. He had been nominated President of
the Junta by universal acclamation.
