THE RUSSIAN FLEET BEFORE ODESSA.
A telegraphic despatch, dated Vienna, yesterday
evening, says :
" According to letters from Odessa of the 4th,
Admiral Nachimoff, with a great part of the .Rus-
sian fleet, appeared on that day in sight of Odessa.
" A steamer, which was sent into the harbour,
stated that the fleet was to return to Sebastopol the

same evening."

SIR GEORGE I3ROWNE'S SURVEY OF THE

RUSSIAN COAST.

The following extract is from the memoranda of
a gentleman who accompanied the reconnoitring
squadron, which left Baltchik on the 221 ult.:—
" 22d. Fleet in tow of steamers ; in the even-
ing cast off, the breeze freshening.
" Sunday, 23d. Blowing fresh, but foul.
" 24th. Ditto.

" 25th. Taken in tow by steamers, and came
directly in sight of Sebastopol ; all lights for-
bidden, not even the steamers allowed to show
their lights.

" Terrible, Fury, Descartes, and Highflyer,
went in with Sir George Browne and staff, and
others, to view the works of the town. Signal
made to load guns and dowse bulkhead.
" 26th. Close into Sebastopol, which is very like
what appears in the Illustrated London News, and
does certainly appear to be rather formidable.
However, if we attack, we must take it. The
Russian ships are admirably placed across the har-
bour; the forts are, however, so constructed that
after the first round they would be so suffocated
with smoke as to be unable to do anything.
" When the steamers stood in this morning,
some vessels inside got up steal. to come out and
attack them, but on perceiving the fleet three
signal guns fired from the height stopped them.
It would certainly please us very much to take the
place.
" 27th. General quarters, and reloaded guns.
" 28th and 29th. Returning.
" 30th. Rather rough ; anchored at Baltchik.
" It is reported that a very good place for laud-
ing is found near Sebastopol, and preparations
will immediately be made for attacking it with
100,000 soldiers."

EXCHANGE OF NOTES BETWEEN AUS-
TRIA, FRANCE, AND ENGLAND.

A. letter from Vienna of the 10th, in the Moni-
teur, says :—" The exchange of the Notes agreed
upon between the French and English Ministers at
Vienna, and Count 13uo1, took place on the Bth
with a certain degree of solemnity, and the news
of the fact was promptly- in circulation, and pro-
duced a deep and favourable impression. The
official notification of the evacuation of the Prin.
cipalities was scarcely made public, when it wa
known that, in consequence of this notification of
the Russian Envoy, the Austrian Government had
thought it right to contract a new bond with tin!
Western Powers, by drawing up in common with
them the preliminary conditions of any resumption •
of negotiations. The accord which is ratified by
the Notes of the Bth August is regarded as
the more solid and durable, as the four articles
which form—the basis of it sum up the interests
which are certainly no less important for Aus-
tria and Germany than for France and England.
The reply of Omer Pacha to the • last communica-
tions which (Jul. ILalik was charged to make to him,
is only waited for before orders will be given to a
corps d'arnac to enter the Principalities, conform-
ably to the stipulations of the Austro-Turkish
treaty. The Russians are continuing their retro-
grade movement ; the evacuation is still going on
in Wallachia, and has commenced in Moldavia.
Several regiments have already recrossed the
Pruth.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.
A Vienna journal publishes the following as the
text of the letter addressed to Prince Kantacuzene,
President of the Council of Wallachia, to announce
the withdrawal of the Russian troops. It is dated
the 31st ult.
" In consequence of the concentration of the Im-
perialis without Russian troops. In quitting
this city, I deliver up the direction of public affairs
to the Council of Administration. It will he careful
Bucharest arrawhich is now taking place, the city of
to govern conscientiously and with zeal, conformably to
the institutions of the country. As regards the district:
which the Imperial army will continue to occupy, the
administrative functionaries, and others, will perform
their functions as hitherto, and take care to supply the
troops with whatever they may want, according to the
chief, or those of the Varnick
een associated with me as special
the entrance of the Russians intr...
ordersFiore s k ofo

Wallachia. In quitting the capital of this principality,
it is agreeable to me to be able to express to the mem-
bers of the a.linhaistration, the persons in public office,
and the population in general, my gratitude for the zeal
which they have without distinction manifested to pro.
vid for the wants of the Imperial army."
The Press of Vienna says :—" The Turkish
troops on the 6th occupied the post of the Mu-
nicipal Guard at Bucharest. Omer Paella was
expected on the 12th. Rimeck Effendi, the
Roman Catholic chief of the Miridites of Turkish
Albania, has arrived at Yarna with a part of the
troops which he has raised." The same journal
contains a letter from Cracow of the Bth, which
says :—" The following is related in well-informed
circles. The Russian Colonel Kowalewski arrived
on the 6th by the train of Warsaw at the frontier
station of Szezakowa on his way to Vienna, but
was refused by the police permission to enter the
Austrian States. He at once sent a telegraphic
despatch to Vienna asking for authorisation to con-
tinue his journey, but the reply was, to all appear
ance, riot satisfactory to the police, as they per
sisted in their refusal. The Colonel was then
obliged to return to Malzki. He there hired horses
and proceeded to Wegizie, but ho was there also
refused permission to pass the frontier. He then
stated his case to the military commandant of this
place, who gave him permission to pass, yet, in
spite of that permission, the local authorities de-
clared that, in virtue of superior orders, they were
obliged to refuse his passage. He then returned
to Warsaw."
