THE BALTIC.

A Hamburg letter of the Ist inst., published by
the Incli.,:pendance Beige, says :
"An English steam-corvette had been sent some
days ago from Kiel, by Admiral Napier, into the
Baltic, to recal the different war steamers still cruising
in that sea. That corvette having met none of those
ships in her passage from Kiel to the Prussian har-
bours, entered Memel on the 26th ult. Her Captain,
having landed, addressed a despatch, through the
British Consul in that harbour, to Admiral Napier,
to inform him of that circumstance. The opinion was
that the commanders of the ships of the squadron had
deemed it prudent rift to venture singly into that sea,
and that they were assembled in some neutral port,
whence they could watch the movements of the Rus-
sian vessels. Nevertheless our letters from Kiel an-
nounce that yesterday two war steamers, clming from
the Baltic, had joined the fleet at that anchorage, and
that the entire squadron is expected there in a faw
days."

We read in the Moniteur:—

"The English transport Black, with troops, was, in
tile evening of the 26th ult., in danger of being lost from
stress of weather in one of the bays of the coast of Africa,
near the forelands of Caballo and Ceuta. The Consul of
France at Gibraltar was informed of this circumstance,
and, in the absence of the English steamer which gene-
rally stations in the roadsted, the steam corvette of the
Imperial navy, the Newton, commanded by Captain
lluguteau de Challi6, sailed immediately to the spot, and
in spite of the state of the sea and the critical position
of the Black, succeeded in towing her in safety to the
roadsted of Gibraltar. Captain deChalli4 for his senieLs
on this occasion received the thanks of Captain Grey of
the British navy, Director of the Arsenal."
The Pays publishes the following correspondence
from the camp before Sebastopol
:
"Nov. 18.—The different services of the army are
perfectly well organised. Provisions are distributed as
regularly as if we were in France. The soldiers receive
two days out of three excellent fresh bread and good
!neat ; sugar, coffee, and brandy are included in the dis-
tributions. It is easy to perceive that the Emperor does
not lose sight of us, and every day numerous marks of
his solicitude are bestowed on the army. Some day*
ago several hogsheads of old wino and brandy, sent by
the Emperor, were landed here.
Nov. 19.—We have in oar camp several Polish de-
serters, most of whom, belonging to respectable families,
well educated, and intelligent. Forced into the army,
and ill-treated by the Russians, they have sought refuge
among us. The information they have given as to the
offensive, defensive, political, and other conditions of
the army and garrison of Sebastopol agree pretty nearly
with the result of the observations of our officers, and
will prove very useful."
"Nov: 20,-1 went to visit to-day the wounded Rus-
sians, who, being unable to walk, have not yet beets re-
moved from the camp: I was not attracted by mei •cu
riosity. I had my canteen full of rum and water, and a
supply of biscuit for the poor fellows in my bag, which
I distributed among them."
