THE LATE EASTERN MONARCH.—The remains of
the burnt ship Eastern Monarch, now lying in shoal water
off Hasler Hospital, near the mouth of Portsmouth har-
bour, were sold by public auction on the 4th inst. for £9OO.
The purchaser immediately after the auction resold his bar-
gain to a third party for 1,000 guineas.
[AbwEnnsEmENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Air—variations in the temperature—dryness and moisture
of the atmosphere—chiefly produce disease. They not only
affect the health, but the perfection of the species. Hence,
the noblest of the human race is the Caucassian, because
a medium temperature ever there prevails. In England,
but too frequently, Russian cold and Italian heat divides
the day, excessive changes which few can bear with im-
punity. Colds, influenza, consumption, fever, dysentery,
are the diseases usually springing from our variable cli-
mate ; these, in their early stages, may be readily cured
with Holloway's remedies, which neutralise in the blood
the morbific products of the changeable and impure atmo-
sphere, brace the relaxed frame, prevent inflammation in
the robust, and annual fever.

Your excellency had ordered me to leave four
vessels and two frigate's in reserve at Toulon, under
the orders of Rear-Admiral Jehenne ; it was then,
with four vessels, including the Bretagne, which
carries my flag, that I had to proceed to the Gulf
of Venice, and there collect the various elements of
.the expeditionary fleet. "
• The most important of those elements, if regard
be had to the nature of the waters in which we had
to carry on operations, was a new squadron, re-
cently constituted his Majesty's orders, which,
as a siege squadron, completed with five despatch
boats and six screw transports, the whole of the
naval forces placed under my command. The siege
squadron was confided to the skilful direction of
Rear-Admiral Count Bouet Willaumez, who arrived
at Toulon on June 1, to accelerate the fitting out of
the ships destined to form part of it.
It was composed of four paddle-wheel frigates
and 25 floating batteries and gunboats, for the most
part of small draught* of water, protected by iron
on the beam or on the bow ; in fact, admirably
adapted for dismantling fortifications.
The paddle-wheel frigates and the floating bat-
teries
were armed so rapidly that, after the 12th,
Rear-Admiral Bouet Willaumez was able to set out
for the Adriatic with that first and heavy division
of the siege squadron.
After a forced delay of three days at Messina to
take in fresh coal, he reached on the 11th day the
Bay of Antivari, which your excellency had pointed
out to me as the place of general rendezvous for the
expeditionary fleet. In order to hasten as much as
possible the moment of assembling, I determined,to
tow each group of gunboats, as they should be got
ready, with one of my four vessels.
The Arcole left on the 15th with six of tlise
little vessels. On the 18th,at daybreak, the Alex-
andre followed with six other gunboats in tow, and
on 'the evening of the same day I; quitted Toulbn
with the Bretagne and two despatch boats, drawing
after us our last ten gunboats, and leaving at TOu-
lon the ship Redoubtable, which three days after-
wards was to conduct the last group of the fleet,
composed of two transports, laden with munitions
of war, and two Tuscan gunboats. On .Tune 30, all
these forces; after some difficulties of navigation, '
which being matters of merely nautical interest need
not be enumerated to your excellency, were collected
at Antivari, where they took in fresh supplies of
coal, by means of numerous commercial transports
which you had previously directed under escort
towards that port. I was there reinforced in the
evening by a Sardinian naval division, composedUf
two' sere* frigates and three corvettes and despatch
boats. This division, command by Captain Tholo-
zano, was immediately ranged under my ordeis.
From the evening of the 30th to middle day of July
1, the whole fleet left Antivari by divisions, as it
had arrived there; but the first of these groups
which I conducted, and which I directed with till
possible speed towards the island of Lossini, which
I had instructions to take, was composed, with a
view to resistance to be overcome, in the following
manner ships La Bretagne and Le Redoubt-
able, the frigates Le Mogador (Rear Admiral Bonet
Willaumez), and ; the Sardinian frigate
Victor Eultfitauelf-highty gunboats, and a floating
battery. The island of Lossini, situated at the en-
trance of the Archipelago of Quarnero, is a central
point between Venice, Trieste, Pula, Fiume, and
Zara, which are the principal maritime establish-
ments of Austria on the seaboards of Venetia,'
Illyria, Istria, Hungary, and Dalmatia.
The possession of this island was of extreme im-
portance for us, and would ensure us an excellent
basis of operations. The enemy could not fail to
comprehend this, and we thought consequently that
he would seek to offer us a resistance which we, on
our part, were in a position to overcome. There was
no resistance, and whether from fear of. letting us
take tile garrison prisoners, or rather from their
inability to defend themselves along the whole line
of coast threatened by the allied fleet, the Austrians
ha,l completely abandoned to itself the numerous
population of Lossini, and disarmed the' towers of
Maximilian which command the town and port of
Augusto. After having substituted the French and
Piedmontese colours for those of the Austrians On
the town and towers of Lossini Piccolo, I informed
the inhabitants that I should treat them as fellow-
countrymen, if on their part they assisted us with
all their resources. I was understood by this essen-
tially pacific and commercial people ; therefore I
deemed it proper not to use the right I had of
confiscating the fourteen or fifteen merchant
vessels in the harbour after I had ascertained that
they were really the property of the inhabitants of
the island.

Then began the preparations for the attack on
the coasts of Venetia. The floating batteries re-
ceived the complement of their artillery, and were
completely- dismasted that they might be less vul-
nerable to the shots of the enemy ; the gunborts
were treated in the same way. Both of them,
directed by Rear-Admiral Bouet-Willaumez and
Post-Captain de la Ronciere le Noury, repaired to
a neighbouring bay for practising with the guns,
which these vessele, armed in all haste, and manned
for the rest with excellent sea rated as gunners, had
not yet been able properly to do.
The Commander Bourgois, of the Mogador, made
at the same time successully several trials of some
powerful submarine bombs for blowing up stockades
prepared in imitation of those that had barred the
entrances of the three ports of Venice, viz., those of
Cnioggia, Malamocco, and Lido.
Three days had hardly sufficed for enabling us
to establish ourselves at Lossini, the defence of
which I confided to 400 seamen and 400 marines
under the superior command of Captain Duvau-
roux, an energetic, accomplished, and vigilant offi-
cer. Storehouses hired in, the town were filled
with our supplies Of provisions and coal; stills for
distilling fresh water from the sea were placed on
the beach ; lastly a hospital of 120 beds, established
with the aid of our own resources on shore, re-
ceived the sick from the vessels of the flotilla,
whilst we fitted up one of the mixed transports to
the fleet as a receptable fo r the -wounded on the
day of action.
Whilst a part of our indefatigable sailors were
performing these works so urgently needed under
the energetic and active direction of Rear-Admiral
Chopart, my second in command, the others were
coaling the vessels, unrigging and dismasting the
sheathed batteries and small gunboats, and were
endeavouring to mount on the captured trabaccoli
those mortars of 0.32 centimetres with which your
excellency supplied me before my departure from
Toulon.

On the Gth of July two large mixed transports
arrived at Lossini, bringing me at the most oppor-
tune moment 3,000 foot soldiers of the line, who
formed part of the troops ordered by the :Emperor
to join the expedition. I immediately distributed
them among the vessels, and learned at the same
time that Lieut.-General de Wimpffen was coming
by his Majesty's orders to take the command of the
landing tz oops.
On the 7th a Jespatch boat, which I had sent to
Rimini with a telegraphic despatch in which I gave
an account to your Excellency of the taking of Los
sini, and asked for the-Emperor's orders, as I had
been enjoined to do before leaving Toulon, returned
to Port Augusto, bringing a despatch that was
waiting there for the arrival of the squadron, and
in which the Emperor ordered me to attack the
outer defences of Venice.

The fleet was ready ; j fixed the departure for
8, only leaving two Tuscan

mandant, might co-operate iu protecting

they
The combined attack of the fleet and expedi-
tionary corps was to take place on the 10th of
July, and I informed your Excellency of it on, the
7th by the telegraph from Rimini. No one doubted
its success.
On the Bth of June, at break of day, the fleet
was under steam and left Lossini, when the Eylati
hove in sight, having been despatched the previous
evening by Rear-Admiral Jurien to bring me a
letter from the Governor-General of Venetia, and a
despatch from Verona, in which General Fleury,

On the morning of the 10th a despatch-boat
bearing the flag of truce -came alongside of the
Bretagne, and placed itself at my disposal for con-
veying the officer whom I had asked leave to send
to the Emperor. My first aide-dc-camp, Captain
Foullioy, went on board, the bearer of a report in
which I gaive a summary account to his Ninjesty of
the situation of the fleet, of what it had done up to
that time, and of what it was ready to undertake
at the first signal given to it.
My aide-de-camp returned on the morning of the
12th. He had been accompanied during his jour-
ney through the enemy's army by, some Austrian
officers, and treated with extreme courtesy. On
reaching the French head-quarters at Valeggio, lie
had the honour of beirg received on the morning
of the 11th by the Emperor, who deigned to ques-
tion him at length about the fleet and its means of
action.

His Majesty had the goodness to consign to him
for me the following autograph letter :
" Valeggio, July 11, 1859.
_ _

"My dear Admiral,—A su-spension of arms is
concluded until the 15th of August; I beg you
therefore to send back to Lossini all the vesselS not
wanted at sea.

"Should peace not be made, I depend upon
the,energy of the fleet and the skill of its chief for
co-operating with the land army towards the- end
I hay:. proposed to myself to attain,
"Employ the time until the 15th of August in
exercising the crews, in making reconnaissances
along all the coasts, and in endeavouring to obtain
information respecting the enemy's weak points.
"Receive the assurance of my friendship.
" NAPOLEON."

I end here, Monsieur l'Amiral ; the rest is
known to your Excellency. You know that self-
denial is a necessary and essential virtue in our pro-
fession ; the seamen of the Adriatic fleet, disap-
pointed of seeing their great efforts of activity
crowned by an honourable Share in the army's
glorious labours, are nevertheless ready to rejoice
at triumphs in which it has not been granted them
to co-operate with arms in their hands, and to unite
in the joy as well as gratitude of the country.
I beg your Excellency to accept the homage of
my profound respect.
The Vice-Amiral, Senator, Commander-in-
Chief of the Mediterranean Squadron.
