the English steam-ships Penelope, Magicienne,
Desperate, Gorgon, Lightning, and Porcupine; the
four French steamers Lucifer, Darien, Phlegethon,
and Souffier. The van squadron of six English

the Gulf of Bothnia, with the intention, in con-
junction with the Odin, 16, Captain Scott, of
touching at several ports on the eastern coast of
the Gulf, in order to seize and destroy any of the
enemy's vessels and stores that they meet with.
The Cuckoo, 3, Lieutenant A. C. Murray, and
Zephyr, 3, Lieutenant Crawley, have arrived from
England ; the former on the evening of the 21st,
the latter on the morning of the 22d. inst.

When abreast of the fortress of Sweaborg, the
allied squadron were joined by the Imperieuse' 50,
Captain Watson, and Arrogant, 46, Captain Yel-
verton ; leaving the Euryalus, 50, Captain George
Ramsay, cruising between Helsingfors and Revel.
On nearing the Island of Hogland, 80 miles to
the eastward of Baro Sound, the Arrogant was
sent to examine the anchorage, which, not being
deemed suitable, the fleet proceeded in an easterly
direction. The Lightning, Captain Sullivan, with
Lieutenant Commander Jackson,

morning, and arriving about noon of the 24th at
Seskar, a low woody island, situate in lat. 60 deg.
3 min. N., and long. 28 deg. E. and within 30
miles' distance of Cronstadt. Oithis island the
fleet is at present at anchor, but for what period it
will remain, or whether it will approach still
nearer to Cronstadt, has not transpired.
The French division of the fleet is in a most effi-
cient condition, more especially so the Duguesclin,
92, Rear-Admiral Tenant. The crew of this ship have
been together for upwards of a year, and are in an
excellent state of discipline. The men belonging
to some of the other ships are young for the most
part ; but by constant drilling at the great guns,
both in harbour and at sea, they are becoming very
perfect in the various evolutions appertaining
thereto. Between the English and French the
utmost cordiality prevails. On the day prior to
the departure of the fleet from Baro Sound the
French officers were entertained at dinner by the
officers of the Duke of Wellington.
The Bulldog steam frigate, Captain W. H. Hall,
joined company with the fleet shortly after their
arrival off Seskar. The Gorgon, Commander era-
craft, was despatched to Dantzic with despatches
from the Commander in Chief and officers' letters.
The warm weather has set in, and will continue
until the middle of August.

DANTZIC, June 30.-L-0n Thursday forenoon, the
22d inst., Admiral Napier, accompanied by both
French Admirals, started from Baro Sound for
Cronstadt, taking with him all the screw line•ol-
battle ships (except the Ajax), twelve in number,
besides smaller craft ; the French—one screw, five
sailing ships, and smaller vessels. Plumridge left
in the evening, with " Crickos" in company, for
the Gulf of Bothnia. The Basilisk left the
sailing division under AdMiral Corry at anchor
on the 27th instant, off Baro Sound. The
Hecla, passed through the fleet on the 26th in-
stant, to communicate with the commander-in-
chief, and reported having made an attack at Bomar
Sound (Aland Islands), in company with the Odin
and Valorous, upon a masked battery, which they
succeeded in silencing, occasionally throwing shell
into the principal fort, the shot from which fell
short of the steamers. Before leaving, some build-
ings in the fort were observed to be on fire.
A midshipman on board the Hecla (Mr Lucas),
picked up a shell that fell upon her deck, and
threw it overboard, the fuse at the time being
ignited. The May of Dundee (schooner) arrived
on the 21st inst., with sundries for the fleet. There
is a report that Mr. Murphy (mate), who was in
charge of the Vulture's paddle-box boat, and several
men, are prisoners.
COPENHAGEN, June 27.—A French steam cutter-
brig, Le Milan, has anchored in Kodjupet, near
Stockholm.

The Finnish papers are filled with statements,
and often with bit ter complaints, against the ravages
of the English along their shores. Much of the
success of the enemy is attributed to their having
obtained the services of so many excellent Finnish
pilots.
English officers who were engaged at Brahestadt
have declared that as they were landing they were
attacked by sharpshooters in ambuscade, whereby
five officers were killed and sixty men wounded. It
was this treachery which induced them to fire the
ships and stores.
The Norrlands Posten declares that three English
sailors tried to escape on shore on their boat being
captured at Gamla Carleby, but were seized by the
Russian soldiers, tied to a tree, and used as a target
for their bullets.
A Sardinian frigate is expected at Stockholm, to
take on board a number of cannon cast in Sweden.
The Royal Swedish College of Commerce has
been graciously pleased to declare Glasgow

fected with cholera, and the other Soottiah Lard
bourn suspected of the same. The harbours in
Cork and Waterford are declared free.

THE CZAR AND THE POPE.

•The Moniteur publishes the following :—Some
Russian journals, desirous, no doubt, to deceive
the country as to the opinion of Europe upon the
policy of their Government, have stated that Pope
Pius IX. had openly expressed his wishes fur the
success of the arms of the Emperor Nicholas. We
shall confine ourselves to the duty of recalling to
recollection the fact that the Holy Father, having
had occasion, scarcely t., o months ago, to commu-
nicate with the Ottoman Government upon the
subject of the Armenians residing at Constanti-
nople, expressed himself in regard to the Sultan
in the most flattering terms.
Upon a more recent occasion—the anniversary
of his accession to the pontifical throne, when re-
ceiving the homage of the Ambassador from the
Emperor—the Holy Father renewed to that envoy
the assurance of the interest with which he fol-
lowed all the measures of French policy, and the
expression of his hopes for the happy issue of the
war in the East.
The sentiments of the Court of Rome could not
be loft in doubt upon a question where morals and
policy were so completely in accord ; and when

the Russian press thinks it right to distort facts in
order to support its cause, it ought, in the first
instance, at least to pay some attention to proba-
bility.

INSURRECTION IN GREECE

SALONICA, JUNE 13.

The French steamer Solon, Captain Baron Rous-
sin, arrived here the day before yesterday from
Dafne, a port near Mount Athos. It brings news
that in consequence of the attitude assumed by the
new Greek Cabinet, Caratasso had capitulated to
Baron Roussin, with all his men, on the following
conditions, but without the intervention of the
Turks :

1. Djami Caratasso and his followers, whom he stated
numbered 600 men, give up their arms and baggage into
the hands of Baron Roussin.

2. They are to be embarked at Dafne, on the 13th of
June, either on board the French steamer, or by a►
transport, and to be taken to Calcis in the island of
Eubea.

3. On their arrival there, Caratasso, his men, and the
arms and baggage, are to be placed in the hands of the
Greek authorities.

The steamer came here purposely to inform the
Paella of this event, bringing a letter from the
Turkish admiral to obtain coals, and a ship to take
off Caratasso and his followers.

As a good many Rajahs (subjects of the Porte)
are supposed to be amongst Caratasso's followers,
measures are being tatten to separate them. Cara-
tasso left his Lieutenant Zacaropulo in the hands
of Baron Roussin as hostage. This news has had
a very good effect, as it frees the neighbourhood of
Salouica from agitation. It is also hoped now that
the continual passage of regular and irregular
troops through the villages will cease. The Solon
also carried the French consul of Sira, an English
man, and three Greek agents, to Thessaly. They
ire on a mission to Pappacosta, who exercises great
influence over the insurgents, and it is hoped that
he will be persuaded to retire with all his followers.
Letters which have just come in by the postal
steamer from Athens already announce that Pap-
pacosta, Bazaris, and Tzavella, have recrossed. the
frontiers and regained the soil of Greece.
