THE WAR IN ASIA.

---
The Siecle publishes the following letter from an
European officer serving in the Turkish army of
Asia :
"According to the information which every day
reaches us relative to the enemy's army, it is in a very
precarious state, and morally enfeebled. The Russians
have at most 20,000 men at Gumri. I saw a part of
their tents in going to the advanced posts. After having
evacuated the forts of the Black Sea and Onsourgheti,
they concentrated themselves between Koutais and
Gumm, to the number of 15,000 men. From thence
they endeavoured to cover the defile of Daniel, which is
the key of their communications, and which was threat-
ened by the mountaineers. They have also from 4,000
to 6,000 men at Akiska, and from 3,000 to 4,000 at
Alkalaki, small fortified towns on the road to Tiflis.
At Erivan they have from 5,000 to 6,000 men. All
the accounts we receive agree in representing the
population of Georgia, both Mussulman and Chris-
tian, as very hostile towards Russia. The Russian
sects, who have been exiled to that country, share
these sentiments. They only await the signal to show
those who have deprived them of their independence that
the remembrance of it is present in their minds. As to
the Caucasians, they are at present at their post. Com-
munications are established by sea between the combined
fleets and Schamyl. The intrepid chief is ready to be
present at the campaign which is about to open, and we
have a rendezvous appointed with him on the road to
Tiflis. These are not, however, the only elements which
we hope to see co-operate in our undertakings. By the

sians by the presence of the Anglo-French flag in the
Black Sea, we communicate with the Christians of the
banks of the Kouban and the Terek, most of them of
the Cossack race, and strongly attached to their primi-
tive liberty and to all the institutions of which they have
been despoiled. These Cossacks were the first Greek
people whom Russia mystified and enslaved under pre-
tence of religious fraternity ; but, although enslaved,
they have not forgotten their traditions, and they may
form the advanced guard of the armies who are about to
act against Russia."

BRA VERY OF THE TURKS.

---
An English officer who has arrived at Constan-
tinople from Silistria, confirms all the accounts
received respecting the astonishing bravery and
heroism of the besieged Turks. No French or
English soldier could have endured with equal for-
titude, it is asserted, the perils and privations of a
continual bombardment, and au overwhelming
force during so long a period. There is scarcely,
perhaps, a man in the fortress, it is stated, who
cannot produce some honourable mark of his
valour, in the shape of a cicatrised wound,chtha erbatucartienursts,,
and bruises of all sorts and sizes. There is, it
appears, a general deficit of fingers, ears, noses,
and other appendages ; all that remains intact is

PERSIA.

The state of public feeling in Persia, as reported
by a gentleman who left Tabriz on the 3d of
March, is decidedly in favour of the Turks ; but
the measures of the Government, as in the case of
Sweden and other weak Powers contiguous to
Russia, are mainly directed by the Czar. Between
Turks and Persians the old sectarian hatred of
Sunni and Shiah is much weakened, and the dread
of a common foe has done much to reconcile reli-
gious animosities, which have hitherto served the
purposes of Russian ambition. To play off one of
the Mussulman Powers against the other has al-
ways been the policy of St. Petersburg. If it be
not too late, their reconciliation may enable them
to resist with somewhat better success the disor-
ganisation and dissension which Russia has sown
in the provinces nearest to her frontier. The want
of a competent representative of British interests
at Teheran is severely felt, and the conduct of re-
sponsible parties at that place is much questioned.

April 17.
The Albion, from Virginia, at this port, while lying-to
under close-reefed maintopsails during a heavy gale from

five hours, when she was got before the wind and righted,
with 7 feet of water in her hold.
The Charles Buck from New Orleans, was in contact
with another vessel, April 20, about 200 miles W. of Cape
Clear, and had her bow badly stove, with loss of anchor
and chain and part of head gear. The other vessel lost
bowsprit head, &c.
The Great Britain (screw steamer), which put b )ck yes-
terday, was expected to be able to dock to-night for re-
pairs ; in which case she will be able to resail in ten days.
If she cannot dock it may be a month before she is ready.
The Shackamaxon, from hence, is ashore about 40 miles
from Philadelphia.
The Scotland, hence for Mobile, has arrived at Belfast,
with damage, after being in contact with the Colbert, from
Calcutta for Havre, which sunk ; crew saved.

Mercy, Brigham, both for London.—The barque St!
Geneve, of Port Glasgow, from Callao, for Leith, drove
down close to her Majesty's steamer Penelope, and was
obliged to slip from anchor and chain to avoid collision,
and is being supplied with others hence.
SOUTHAMPTON, April 29.—The Marco Polo, from Liver-
pool, which was on shore at Melbourne, Jan. 30, had been
hove off the strand there, and taken up into Hobson's Bay.
The vessel had made no water since being on shore, and
did not appear to have sustained much injury.
ELSINEUE, April 27.—The following vessel( have this
morning taken refuge in the harbour in consequence of the
war, viz. :—Juno, of Nye Carleby, from Lisbon; Gustav,
of Uleaborg, from Liverpool ; and the Sirjrid (brig), of

[ADVERTISEMENT.] HOLLOWAY'S PILLS FOR THE
CURE OF LIVER COMPLAINTS, INDIGESTION, AND DISOR-
DERED STOMACH.-Mr. Richard Haynes, of her Majesty's
Dockyard at Plymouth, for several years had not bad
the enjoyment of a day's good health, constantly suffering
from indigestion and liver complaint. He had the best
medical advice from both army and navy surgeons, but
the disease yielded not to their treatment, and various
other remedies were tried with a like result. At last he
began to use Holloway's pills, and this fine medicine has
so strengthened the tone of his stomach and invigorated
his constitution, that he is mesh perfectly cured, and en-
joys the best of health.—Sold by all druggists, and at

WARS AW.

A letter from Warsaw, of the 24th ult., states
that tho Consuls-General of Great Britain and
France in that city had received from M. de Sa-
phianos, chief ad interim, of the diplomatic depart-
ment, an official notification to leave the country.
M. de Saphianos added, that the Military Gover-
nor-General had orders to give them their pass-
ports. The letter states that nothing certain was
known as to the situation of the British and French
subjects after the departure of the Consuls.
At Warsaw 1,000,000 roubles in paper had b een
issued.
Some papers mention, that the preparations
making for the reception of the Emperor of Russia
at Warsaw have been suddenly suspended, and
that he will not visit the capital of Poland till the
middle of next month. The Czas, Polish paper,
states that the Russian Court, instead of removing
to Warsaw or Moscow, as had been reported, will
take up its residence for the summer at Peterhoff,
which lies over against Cronstadt.

THE LOSS OF THE ERCOLANO.

It was in the night from the 24th to the 25th ult., in
the waters between Nice and Antibes, that the Sicilia
and the Ercolano came into collision, having at the time
all their steam up. It was midnight ; there was a heavy
sea, and the weather was dark and rainy. There was a
wind. It was a time of indescribable terror and
sconfusion.trong
In less than ten minutes the Ercolano, in
the hull of which the Sicilia had made a large opening,
sank. The Sicilia received but slight injury. The four
boats of the Sicilia, which were launched immediately,
saved as many of those who were swimming as could be
heard. Of all the women on board the Ercolano, only
one was saved—Maria Ambrusano, a chambermaid. She
was upon deck. Sir Robert Peel also escaped by a mi-
racle. His secretary and two servants perished. Among
the persons who were lost are reckoned 36 passengers
and 12 sailors. A sailor and a passenger, who had been
clinging to one of the fragments of the Ercolano, were
picked up in the waters of Nice by a barque.—Corrierc
Mercantile. _

An English passenger on board the Ercolano, who has
arrived at Nice, gives the following account :—" After
having supped with Sir Robert Peel, I went on deck to
smoke a cigar. The night was very dark, and the sea
exceedingly rough. I was walking backwards and for-
wards, and was astonished at not seeing any one at the
helm. The captain was in Lis cabin. I perceived a light
at a certain distance, and I informed the helmsman, who
made no reply. I repeated my warning with uneasiness,
because it appeared to me that the light was coming to-
wards us. All of a sudden a frightful shock was felt.
The masts gave way. Two sailors having launched a
boat I got into it, and this was how I was saved. I heard
' piercing cries, and the voices of women. A few minutes
afterwards the Ercolano sank with all on board. I several
times called Sir Robert Peel by his name, without re
ceiving any answer. The Ercolano bad no light."--Pan
lamcnto, of Turin,

cordance with the usual Custom-house tariff regulations,
without any hindrance on our part.
Moreover the property of neutrals, found on board of the
enemy's vessels, will not be subject to confiscation. But
it is self-evident that a neutral flag will not cover such
cargoes or articles as by international law are considered
articles of contraband; in consequence of which, the
vessels, on which such contraband may be found, will be
stopped by our cruizers, and declared lawful prizes of war,
in conformity with the Declaration, issued from the
Ministry of Finance the 27th November of the foregoing
year.
The Government of His Imperial Majesty, whilst leaving
all its mercantile harbours open to the merchant vessels of
neutral countries, can, nevertheless, not take upon itself
any responsibility for injuries and losses which these vessels
may sustain from the operations of war. 1

October last year, when rums nra of war beeame prevalent, !
London, England, 1854-05-02

Isles have been evacuated by the Russians ; that,
on the contrary, reinforcements ',of troops were ar-
riving, and new entrenchments were being thrown
up there. In reference also to the statements con-
tained in some papers that a strong desire for a
closer approximation of the Scandinavian king-
doms to the Western Powers was being manifested
by the people, the same Correspomdenz mentions
that while the aversion of the population at large
from its powerful neighbour was very unmistake-
able, the bulk of the nation approved of the de-
termination of the Government to observe neutra-
lity, for they expected no advantage from a war
against Russia, seeing that their retention of Fin-
land, if it should be restored to them would be a
matter of extreme difficulty.
The small pox broke out even whilst at Kioge
Bay, on board the James Watt; vaccine matter was
furnished from hence. The ship, of course, is iso-
lated. We have heard of about 18 prizes being
taken.

The Cumberland, 70, Capt. Seymour, left Kioge
27th ult., with a fair wind, to join the Admiral. All
was right on board, and every man doing his ut-
most to obliterate all recollection of the effects of
the United Service Gazette and the Portsmouth
crimps._ _

The fleet were likely to be soon in want of stores.
The Admiralty therefore have ordered the Resist-
ance, transport, Master Commander Bradshaw, to
Sheerness, to receive on board as much as she can
stow for the Baltic.

As soon as the ice broke up, the Czar intended,
it is said, sending the fleet now at Cronstadt to re-
inforce the one that is in the harbour of Sweaborg,
but has now modified his intentions, seeing that
the presence of Admiral Napier would compel him
to offer or accept an engagement, before the junc-
tion of the two Russian squadrons could be effected.
It is only the island of Esel, situated between the
Gulf of Livonia and that of Finland, that has been
evacuated.

The Ost-see-Zeitung has a curious letter from Re-
vel, of the 14th. It says, " that General de Berg,
commandant of the place, announced some time
since to the people there that he was going to prove
the cannons of the place (or fortress), but that they
need be under no apprehension on the subject, as
no harm would accrue from it to them. At the ap-
pointed time all were in the utmost expectation of
hearing a grand 'cannonade; when what was their
disappointment at hearing only two isolated shots.
It then appeared, on investigation, that the whole
of the guns excepting six were entirely useless ;
they were of iron, and completely corroded with
rust. Of the six which were discharged, two lost
their muzzles at the first shot."

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 1.
The Break of Day, hence to Boston, was spoken April
21, lat. 47, long. 49, putting back to the nearest port, hav-
ing lost all her topmasts, foreyard and jibboom, in a gale,
April 17.

The Albion, from Virginia, at this port, while lying-to
under close-reefed maintopsails during a heavy gale from
S.E., April 9, was thrown on her beam ends, and lay for
five hours, when she was got before the wind and righted,
with 7 feet of water in her hold.

The Charles Buck from New Orleans, was in contact
with another vessel, April 25, about 200 miles W. of Cape
Clear, and had her bow badly stove, with loss of anchor
and chain and part of head gear. The other vessel lost
bowsprit head, &c.
The Great Britain (screw steamer), which put back yes-
terday, was expected to be able to clock to-night for re-
pairs ; in which case she will be able to resail in ten days.
If she cannot dock it may be a month before she is ready.
The Shackamaxon, from hence, is ashore about 40 miles
from Philadelphia.
The Scotland, hence for Mobile, has arrived at Belfast,
with damage, after being in contact with the Colbert, from
Calcutta for lavre, which sunk ; crew saved.

DEAL, May I.—Arrived--Robert, from St. Vincent ;
Mercy, Brixham, both for London.—The barque St.
Geneve, of Port Glasgow, from Callao, for Leith, drove

and is being supplied with others hence.

SOUTHAMPTON, April 29.—The Marco Polo, from Liver.
pool, which was on shore at Melbourne, Jan. 30, had been
hove off the strand there, and taken up into Hobson's Bay.
The vessel had made no water since being on shore, and
did not appear to have sustained much injury.
ELSINEUR, April 27.—The following vessels have this
morning taken refuge in the harbour in consequence of the
war, viz. :—Juno, of Nye Carleby, from Lisbon • Gustav,
of Uleaborg, from Liverpool; and the Sirjrid P(brig), of
and from Cette. Her Majesty's steamer Tribune, with
three Russian vessels two brigs and one schooner) in tow,

THE BALTIC.

COPENHAGWr, April 29.—Capt. J. Thayun, of the
brig Johannes, who, on his voyage from Revel to
London, left Baltic Port on the 17th inst., reports
that the fleet, in a line of about 25 sail, had placed
itself between Sandoon. and Daguort, so as totally
to command the Gulfs of Finland and Bothnia.
Within this line cruisers were stationed close up to
Revel.
COPENHAGEN, April 26.—We have now genial
showers and delightful spring weather, and there
is every token of a glorious harvest. The Tribune
sailed to-day, with two prizes in tow. A Swedish
Parliamentary committee has unanimously decided
on requesting the King to abolish every kind of
inland quarantine.
To-day's Dagbladet has the following significant
paragraph :
" Prince Frederick of Hesse, son of the Landgravine
Charlotte, and brother-in-law of Prince Christian of
Demark, is reported by the German papers to have
distributed a sum of 3,000 silver roubles among the
wounded of the Russian regiment which bears his
name. We have no business to make any remarks on
this generosity of the late stepson of the Russian Czar,
as of course his highness has as much right as any other
Danish subject to display what sympathies he will. But
it is not quite decent that this distribution has been made
through the Danish Minister in St. Petersburg, who has
hereby infringed the position he ought to occupy as the
representative of a neutral*PoWer."
These Hessians have been very active in the late
Ministerial crisis here.
In its number of 28th inst., the Preussische
Correspondenz states, that recent advices from
Sweden contradict the assertion, that the

EXPERIMENTS AT BERLIN WITH IRON MUSKET BULLETS.

—The Prussian ingenieur staff has been making experi- ;
nients with a new projectile for muskets, the effects of •
which are described as highly satisfactory. Exact de- •
tails Lave not been published, but enoug!t has transpired
to enable others to test the value of the invention. The
experiments in question refer, namely, to the employ-
ment of egg-shaped cast-iron bullets.
THE RUSSIANS ABROAD.- -It is now understood that
one of the Russian frigates that was at Rio the Diana,
52-- was at Valparaiso when the packet sailed, and the
other frigate, Aurora, was daily expected. Our force
there was the flag-ship President, 50, Rear Admiral
Price, but the Amphitrite, 26, Captain Frederick, WaS
ordered down from Panama. We presume, therefore,
that although all will be safe at the neutral port, yet the
frigates will not be lost sight of as soon as they get to-
gether, that is if the Pique, 40, Captain Sir F. Nicolson,
on her way to look after these frigates, has the misfor-
tune to miss the Aurora. At the neutral port of Rio it
appears also that there is a Russian man-of-war schooner
the Requida. She tried to leave the port, but the Rifle-
man, 8, screw-steamer, also weighed at the same time,
and got outside with the view of making her prisoner ;
but the Russian got back to her anchorage again. We
may expect to hear something more of the Russians on
the coast of China by next mail, or the subsequent one.
There are now three regimental colonelcies at the dis-
posal of the Commander-in-Chief--those of the Royal
Horse Guards, vacant by the Marquis of Anglesey's
death ; of the 70th Foot, by General Hall's ; and of
the 86th, by General Parkes'.
