PROCLAMATION OF PRINCE GORTS
KOFF (THE GENERAL) TO THE DO-
BRUDSCHIANS.

The Lloyd of Vienna publishes the following
proclamation from Prince Gortschakoff to the
habitants of the Dobrudscha :--
"Our victorious troops, with the benediction of God'
having succeeded in delivering you from the sav'ege
Turks, and supporting you in the exercise of your re'
ligion, which is also ours, I consider it my duty t. 7
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': 11l
your churches, which we have enriched with so m. any
gifts, for our success. The Russian crosses glitter protidli
on the summit of your towers, from which 112°
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
pable of doing so on us. Come with us ; the ('or
hereby informs you that his empire is large enough to• re-
ceive you and feed you all, were you one hundred ti tnes
more numerous. On the left bank of the Dniester th=ere
are extensive and fertile countries, which, at the price
of a little cultivation, give abundant fruits. ,Go them to
that district, and abandon this cursed and inhospita,lble
land. They who respond to that appeal will be with eels
and will receive large succour from the Czar in morel
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, "Wa4 tg/
to all the villages by Cossacks, who horribly maltreetu`•
all who refused to follow the Russians. In the cow'
mune of Kassimitshi, nine of the ten Cossacks who to°l‘
the proclamation were killed ; and' as the other cora'
munes joined that just named in resisting the Rusiden,4
these latter were obliged to suspend for a tine tu°
punishment which they wanted to inflict on the disobe-
dient communes. It is true that Mustapha Pacha,
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, Pe'"
Skulini. Three new bridges have also been constructed
over the Sereth, near Nemolosa. Great fortificatiOns
are being made at Ismail."

THE ALLIED ARMIES IN THE EAST.
SCHUMLA, July 10.—Three Austrian officerA of

Omer Pasha has returned from Varna, and 003

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 ;one 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.

,TIAL 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 EVENlNG.—Bomarsund, in the
Aland Isles, is to be bombarded on the arrival of
the French troops.
The fleet has left Baro Sound, and the cholera
has nearly disappeared.

" BALTIC FLEET, BARO SOUND, July, B.—As Ira
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,
Lear 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 in armour
and in gorgeous trappings, were encamped in
legions along the shore. His sailors—or at
least those dressed as such—were on the yards
of the Russian ships, exercising sails, regardless
of the presence of—and many severe, yet his
amused withal—naval critics. Yes, they actually
had sails bent, boats hoisted in,
and everything prepared for sea. What a mockery ! We threw
down the gauntlet, but they would not come out.
No, nor will they while heavy anchors and strong
chains can prevent them, unless indeed they wish
to add to the strength of the Anglo-French fleet.
Sonia 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 " Vivid." This despatch boat was pro-
bably employed by the Emperor for transmitting
news to Peterhoff, a handsome marble palace, em-
bowered in trees, and 'vis-a-vis with Cronstadt.
Another imperial residence was conspicuous, its
shape in the pavilion style of architecture—if there
be such an one. In approaching Cronstadt excite-
ment 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 nettiugs of the
ships were crowded with a terrific weight of palpi-
tating curiosity, but how ridiculous afterwards was
so much anxiety to see a Russian target from
which, horresco referens, the flag had been shot
clean away by the precision of their fire. We have
often ascended the lighthouse, which was aban-
doned so hastily on our approach that every ar-
ticle of domestic furniture was left behind by the
employes. We had a commanding Tiew of the
place. The admirals, French and English, com-
modores, &c., 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,
would be the responsibility of a commander re-
maining in so affected a locality when a remedy
was at hand. Yet it is thought that the present
change of position will not suffice. The doctors in
the fleet urged our quitting Cronstadt on account
of the cholera there, but they evidently wish us
altogether out of the Gulf, and consider a cruise in
the Baltic Proper essential towards restoring health
amongst the men.

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.

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.

treaty. New and rich diggings had been disco-
vered at Kern River. Trade had been moderately
active.

The Star of the West had arrived with upwards
of 1,000,000 doll. of Californian gold.
The French and British squadron had been re-

Trade at New York continued inactive ; the de-
mand for money was less urgent, and the rates of
discount were 7 and 8 per cent. on call, and
12 and 15 per cent. on first-class commercial papers.
Stocks had been weak and drooping.
Exchange was quoted at 9 to 91 on London.
Cotton was buoyant, and an advance had been
realized; in flour and meal there was a fair business
doing at depressed rates ; wheat had materially
declined ; iron was very quiet ; turpentine firm ;
freight also firm, especially to Great Britain.

Carlist movement has broken out.
The French Government is about, it is said, to
establish a corps of observation on the Pyrenean
frontier.
According so the Constitutionnel, Queen Chris-
tina has embarked at Port i Vendres.
The Moniteur of yesterday says : " We cannot too
eeverely stigmatise the unworthy manoeuvres resorted
to by spreading abroad sinister intelligence from the
