THE WAR,.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

No later, telegraph news. Twenty-nine English and
eighteen French vessels of war were at anchor in Baro
Sound.

THE BLACK SEA FLEET.

The Terrible and Retribution had been cruizing before
Sabastopol. They perceived on the 31st of May several
Russian ships of war putting back on their approach,
believing, no doubt, that they found the advance guard of
the. combined squadron. When, however, they discovered
them to be unaccompanied, two liners, two frigates, and
two steamers sallied out in pursuit. The English vessels
then retired.

The Times' Paris correspondent alludes to reports that
the read of the English envoy at Constantinople is being
pressed by the French Government upon the attention of
the English Cabinet.

f Lord LYNDHURST, in a lengthened speech, drew attention
to the memorandum relating to the Eastern Question, trans-
mitted by the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin to their envoys
at the Diet. He pointed out with great force the importance
of the matter, the state quo ante belluin not being conceded,
with respect to the territory of Russia, which, from the docu-
ment in question, seemed to be the object of the German
Powers. He described the aggressive policy of Russia of late
years, and said that material guarantees must be taken from
her. Her pledges were not worth the paper on which they
were written. The German Powers must have the Danube
placed beyond Russian control, the Circassians be delivered,
the Russian navy in Sebastopol be destroyed, and the Crimea
taken from her.
The Earl of CLARENDOII, after some complaints of the
irregularity of the discussion, stated that Austria was now
cordially acting with England and France, and would havea.
force of 300,000 men in operation against Russia. With
