LOSS OP A RUSSIAN LINE-OF-BATTLE

SHIP.-1,000 LIVES LOST.

HAMBURG, OCT. 3.

We learn from St. Petersburg, via Lubeck, on
the Ist inst., that a very awful catastrophe hap-
pened to a Russian line-of-battle ship between the
21st and 23d ult., in the Gulf of Finland, during
a violent storm, in which she foundered, with a
crew of upwards of 1,000 souls on board, all of
whom perished. About 150 were family men,
which renders the misfortune still more calamit-
ous. The vessel had arrived near the Island of
Hogland, from Revel, and her dangerous situa-
tion was apparent to the crews of several large
vessels of war in its vicinity, but, unfortunately,
they were not able to render assistance.

JASSY, OCT. 3.
The elections in Wallachia have terminated, and
are in favour of the Union.
The Moldavian divan will assemble on the 4th of
October, and that of Wallachia on the Bth of the
same month.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(Second Edition) says :
" It has been stated by some Austrian journals
that the Emperor Napoleon suggested the meeting
of the Czar and the Emperor of Austria. lam
able to assure you there is no foundation what-
ever in these assertions. Immediately the Aus-
trian Cabinet learnt that the Emperor of the
French would meet the Emperor Alexander, the
advisers of Francis Joseph took means to solicit
the interview at Weimar. The approach was
entirely on the part of Austria, and the Emperor
of Russia consented more from. courtesy than
from political motives to meet his Imperial brother
Monarch."

FRANCE.
PARIS, SUNDAY.

Yesterday afternoon, at half-past two, the Emu-
peror, who was accompanied by the Empress, again
set out on his return to Chalons. On reaching the
Strasburg railway station, their Majesties were re-
ceived by M. Pietri, the Prefect of Police, Baron
d'Hervey, and others of the directors of the com-
pany.
The Empress appeared much struck by the new
imperial train, the magnificence of which has been
much spoken of. If the weather continues fine
her Majesty has made up her mind to lodge w.tli
the Emperor under his tent in the camp, and not
to occupy thu.appartments prepared for her at the
prefecture at Chalons. The imperial train was ex-
pected to arrive at Chalons at half-past five this
, evening. The Imperial Prince is not of. the party,
and consequently the report that the Empress in-
tended to take this opportunity to present him to
his regiment of grenadiers is probably incorrect.
They say the baby's name is regularly called at
muster roll, and that a corporal answers for him
Absent on leave with his family."

The Court of Cessation has rejected the appeal
of Captain Deiteau and Ben liadji, condemn° 3,
the first to death, the second to hard labour for life,
by the Court of Assizes at Oran. The decr,e is
based upon a report drawn by the Procureur-Gene-
ral upon the case.
