THE BRITISH FLEET.

Reports having been industriously circulated to fhe
effect that the,British ambassador at Constantinople had
intimated to the French representative that the'British
fleet was not in a condition to enter the Black Sea, in
justice to the gallaPt and distinguished commander in
chief, Vice-Admiral Dundas, we enumerate the ships
under his command as a contradiction to so unfounded
a statement. No fleet was ever collected together at
any period of the history of this country so powerful
and so efficient. Admiral Dundas's fleet is ready and
willing, against any odds that the Russians can muster in
the Black Sea, to engage, aye, and to defeat them too.
In that fleet of Admiral Dundas there are the best ships,
the best steamers, the best officers and the best men,
that ever served under the British pendant, and we
know, from the very best authority, that all and each
are animated with a burning desire to meet the much-
vaunted Russian fleet in their very best trim. At the
last telegraphic date from Constantinople the following
British force was collected under as discreet and politic
an admiral as ever hoisted his flag on board of a three-
decker :

SAILING THREE-DECKERS.

AUSTRIA.

Prince Frederick William of Prussia, who ar-
rived at Vienna on the Bth, with General Schregk-
enstein, • continued his journey towards Italy on
the following day: The Emperor visited the Prince
soon after his arrival, and the Prince spent a pext
of the day with the Imperial family.
Adcording to the official journal of Saitzburg, it
is certain that Christians have been forbidden
from engaging any Jewish servants. Another
decree prohibits the Jews from teaching their
children modern languages and the elementary
sciences.

PERSIA AND ENGLAND.

The following telegraphic despatch has been
received from Berlin, dated Saturday (this morn-

" It is credibly asserted that the Schah of Persia
has declared war against England, as well as
against Turkey, at the instigation of Russia. This
statement must be received with caution."

THE BATTLE OF SINOPE.

The f)llowing account of the engagement at
Sinope is forwarded by the Times correspondent at
Malta :

" A bloody action took place on the 30th of
November, at Sinope, on the Asiatic side of the
Black Sea. An Ottoman division, composed of
four frigates, two corvettes, three or four small
vessels, and two steamers, was in port, when a
Russian force, comprising three line-of-battle ships
and several frigates and corvettes, favoured by the
wind, entered, and the fight commenced. The
struggle was dreadful, and sustained with heroic
courage by the Turks. The batteries of the town
were brought into play.
" The city was burning in two places. The Taif,
which brought the news to Constantinople, reports
that when she left Sinope the fight was continued
with determined obstinacy. They saw on board
one Russian liner go down. The Taif was attacked,
had several bullets through her, and many men
killed and wounded.

"It is added, that the steam-frigates Retribu-
tion and Mogador, one from each division, have left
to convey assistance to the wounded, whilst a third
steamer (English) has been despatched for precise
details of the action.

" Impressed with the news received, Admirals
Dundas and Lyons, with their French colleagues
Admiral Hamelin and Jacquinot, left Beycos for
Pera, on board the Caradoc. Lord Redcliffe, ac-
companied by the British Admirals, proceeded to
the French Ambassador, General Baraguay d'Hil-
hers' and a conference between the Ambassadors
took place, at which the naval officers assisted.
The Caradoc was immediately despatched to Mar-
seilles with important intelligence for that, two
Governments.

"It is also said that the Fury and a French
steamer are to be sent to Varna.

" The sth of the month is given as the day on
which the French steam-frigate Charlemagne, and
an English screw steam-frigate, under the flag of
Sir Edmund Lyons, were to proceed into the Black
Sea. It is difficult to suppose that a very active
intervention on the part of the friendly Powers
will be longer delayed."
London, England, 1853-12-17

SCREW TWO-DECKERS.

Guns. Men. H. P. Commanders.
Xgamemnon 9l ... 850 ... 600 Capt. Mends (flag).
Sanspareil 7l ... 626 ... 350 Capt. Dacres.
Here is a force of ten sail of the line, more powerful,
better equipped, and thrice as efficient as any fleet that
ever engaged an enemy. The Queen, London, and Aga-
dmemnon it is true left England under-manned, every-
body who knows the Mediterranean is well aware, that
as the men-of-war touch at Gibraltar or Malta
they have little difficulty in completing their crews.
But take the fleet generally, they are all better manned
than either the Navarino fleet or the Syrian fleet in
1840-41, for they have few " Miuto sailors," and they
were not compelled, in order to make up the ships' com-
panies, to break up a battalion of marines and distribute
them through the fleet.
Having said so much of the ships and the men, we
may give our readers some idea of their terrific arma-
ments by singling out the three-decker Queen, the screw
91-gun ship Agamemnon, and the two-decker London.

QUEEN, 116 GUNS.
No. Ddscription. Length.
Lower Deck
Middle Deck 3O 32-pounder 56 cwt. 9 ft. 6 in.
Main Deck
Quarter Deck

AGAMEMNON, 91 GUNS.

LONDON, 90 GUNS.

6 8-inch 65 cwt. 9 ft.
28 32-pounder 56 cwt. 9 ft. 6 in.
Quarter Deck 2 8-inch 65 cwt. 9 ft.
And Forecastle
It will thus be seen that the modern screw 91-gun
ship and the latest built sailing three-decker in this
fleet, throw about the same weight of shot in a
single broadside (namely, about 2,3001 b.), whereas
the 91-gun sailing ship's broadside is about 2,0001 b.
These are specimens of a fleet whose effective fire
has never yet been tested against an enemy, for the only
ship in the above list that has used her shotted guns in
action is the least powerful of the lot, the Bellerophon.
This is the heavy force of the British fleet ; the lighter
force is comprised in the following sailing frigates and
steamers :

Main Deck

BAILING FRIGATES.
Guns. Men.
Leander . 5O ... 500 Capt. King.

THE CAUSES OP LORD PALME.RSTON'S

RESIGNATION.

We have elsewhere referred, at considerablehlenth,
to the secession of Lord Palmrstonfr
viewste Aberdeenh
Administration. In confirmation of themwe have
there expressed, we may state, that a mere difference
opinion on the contemplated Reform Bill could not haveenee e
been the real cause of the noble lord's resignation, •
much as the Cabinet has as yet come to no conclusion
on the subject. There has not, indeed, been a Cabinet
Council upon it for some time past. A committee of five
members of the Cabinet, three of whom were Lord John
Russell, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and Lord Palmer:
stun, was appointed to prepare the details of the mea-
sure, and some difference of opinion has prevailed be-
tween Lord John and the late Horne Seefetary. But,
as a proof that the points on which they differed were
not important, we may mention, that the Marquis of
Lansdowne quite concurred in the views of Lord Pal-
merston, but openly expressed his opinion, that the dif-
ference is so inconsiderable, that he should never, for a
moment, entertain the idea of resigning on that account.
As, therefore, the diversity of sentiment, on the forth-
coming measure of Reform, between Lord John and
Lord Palmerston, is unimportant, and as Lord Palmer-
ston's views have not been rejected by the Coalition---
there having been no Cabinet meeting on the subject—
the opinion we have expressed in our first leading article,
respecting, 0u real cause of his lordship's secession, is,
to a great extent, confirmed,--Morning Advertiser.

SPAIN.

The Council of Ministers assembled on the even-
ing of the 9th, after the vote of the Senate, and
then went to the Palace to hold a Council, under
the presidency of the Queen.
Before the President of the Council could speak,
the Queen said that she was well informed of all
that had taken place ; that she was of opinion that
the opposition of the Senate was not based on
any sufficient reason, since it did not attack' a sin-
gle ministerial act ; that the Cabinet possessed all
her confidence.; and that it might act as it thought
right.
The President of the Council then proposed to
the Queen a suspension of the Cortes. Her Majesty
immediately acquiesced.
It is said that the Ministry is determined to
dismiss all the high functionaries of the State,
who, in the Senate, did not hesitate to vote against
it. On the 10th, the following royal decree was
read amidst profound silence in both Chambers :
" Exercising the prerogative which is conceded to me
by article 26 of the Constitution of the Monarchy, and
in accordance with the advice of my Council of Millis-
ters, I decide that the sittings of the Cortes shall be sus-
pended. Given at the Palace, the 9th December."
The Official Gazette, of the 11th, contains several
important decrees. members of the Council
have been dismissed.

General Jose de la Concha is deprived of his
place of Commander-in-Chief of the Cavalry, and
General Ros de Olano is no longer Director of the
Military Board of Health.

FRANCE.

The Emperor presided on. Wednesday morning
at half-past ten at the Tuileries, at a Council of
Ministers. At half-past three his Majesty drove
out in a coupe, accompanied by Colonel de Divine,
and went to the Elysee to visit the works. In the
evening, their Majesties went to the theatre of the
Varietes.

On the Ist of January the Emperor will receive
in the morning the diplomatic corps and the con
stituted bodies. On the 2d, the Emperor and the
Empress will receive at nine in the evening the
ladies belonging to the families of the diplomatic
corps, and the ladies who have been already pre-
sented. Gentlemen will be admitted. They must
be in uniform or Court dress, and the ladies in
Court trains.

Since the return of Mr. Oliveira, M.P., from
Bordeaux, where he was so well received, he has
been engaged at Paris in seeing persons of influence
and consideration, who can give him information
and assistance. On Monday, M. Drouyn de Lhuys,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, gave Mr. Oliveira
a reception, when his Excellency assured him of
the desire felt by the French Government to adopt
and extend the principles of a reduced tariff, as
shown by the commencement made with iron and
coal, and which it was the sincere wish of the
Government to apply to other articles ; but
his Excellency dwelt with force upon the moral
support that would be imparted to their efforts, if
it was shown that in England the same spirit was
evinced towards th e productions of France, especially
her wines. On Tuesday, Mr. Oliveira had an in-
terview with. M. Ducos, Minister of Marine, who
expressed opinions-equally favourable to the exteu-

THE WAGES MOVEMENT.

WIGAN, THURSDAY EVENING.—There is no doubt
that the strike of colliers in this district has at length
terminated. There yet remain out about seventy miners
belonging to Walthen House Colliery (Messrs. W. H.
Brancker and Co.'s) and 40 to Gidlow and Swinley Col-
liers (the executors of the late J. Rylands) ; but the
turn-outs at Coppull Colliery, near Chorley, have re-
sumed work at the old rate of wages, and the men yet
on strike are now manifesting a disposition to give way
shortly.
This morning the adjourned meeting of the coal pro-
prietors and their representatives was held at the Roya
Hotel, Wigan, .Mr. W. Pearce, manager of the collieries
of the Earl of Cranford and Balcarrect, in the chair.
After a brief deliberations it was. Unanimously 're-
solved :
"That in consequence of the continued disposition of
the men at the collieries still on partial strike to resume
work at the old rate of wages, the resolution passed at
the last meeting be confirmed and adhered to, and that
this meeting stand adjourned to this day fortnight, at
the same place, at eleven o'clock.—Liverpool Tunes.

TEE MINISTRY.

(From the Press.)
A rumour that was prevalent in well-informed circles
on Thursday received an authoritative shape yesterday
morning, when the retirement of Lord Viscount Palmer-
ston, one of the principal Secretaries of State, from her
Majesty's Councils, was announced by the leading Go-
vernment organ.
The withdrawal, at this moment especially, of the
most eminent member of the Administration, without
whose presence the Cabinet could never originally have
been formed, and to whom the Ministry are indebted
for the only degree of public confidence which they ever
possessed, has produced a profound sensation.
It is understood that this step was taken by Lord
Palmerston with the concurrence and approbation of
the Marquis of Lansdowne, and of the principal mem-
bers of the old Whig party.
Lord Palmerston is now on a visit to the Noble Mar-
quis at Bowood, to which seat he repaired after having
sent in the resignation of his office to the Prime Minister,
in order that it might be formally laid before her
Majesty.

(From the Herald. )
Lord Palmerston has left London for Bowood, the seat
of Lord Lansdowne. It is whispered at the West•end
that the noble marquis will immediately resign his seat
in the Cabinet, if he has not done so already.
It is rumoured that Lord John Russell will be Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department.
A messenger has been despatched to Scotland to sum-
mon Lord Panmure (Fox Maule) to London in order, it
is said, to ascertain the feelings of tho Whigs, whether
they are willing to support Lord John Russell's new
Reform Bill.

It is understood that the principle of the new bill
contemplates the disfranchisement of all boroughs under
500 voters, and transferring the seats to manufacturing
towns and counties.

NOTTINGHAM.

The election for this borough took place on Saturday
at the Exchange Hall in this town at ten o'clock. Mr.
Alderman Hart proposed Mr. Strutt. Mr, Felkin se-
conded the nomination. The Sheriff inquired if any
gentleman had another candidate to propose ; and there
being no reply, he declared the Right Hon. Edward
Strutt to be duly elected. Mr. Strutt, who on present-
ing himself was received with cheers, entered upon a
narrative of the events which finally led to the overthrow
of the late ministry, and proceeded to demonstrate at
considerable length the futility of Protection: Three
cheers were then given for Mr. Strutt ; and after a vote
of thanks had been accorded to the Sheriff, the assembly
dispersed.

Esq., and declared by the returning-officer duly elected.
According to the custom of the place the hon. member

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi
cacy of this medicine :

" 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.
"Sir,—ln scquainting you with the great benefit which I bare ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.
"About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by these who know some-
thing of this disease.
" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
health.

"From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
we is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
is towards its improvement.

" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the rend
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
"GARRET FOSTER GILL.

" To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand."
For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo-
reux, &c., &c., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a
sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other.
dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ter ra-
pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and all respectable
Medicine Vendors. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
