THE WAR

Sir Charles Napier had made the signal to the fleet to
" make ready for sea immediately."
The Herald's correspondent telegraphs that the Leopard,
with the flag of Rear-Admiral Plumridge, arrived off
Stockholm on the sth, and signalled that the enemy's
ships were coming out of Helsingfors.
A rumour was current at Galatz, that the bombard-
ment of Sebastopol began on the 2Sth, but it requires
confirmation. _ .

The Daily News Constantinople correspondent reports,
on the 30th of April, that after the bombardment of
Odessa the united fleets left to cruise before Sebastopol.
The Banshee brings no news from Varna.
The Times, in a leading article, expresses surprise that
although seventeen days have now elapsed since the bom-
bardment of Odessa on the 22nd April, that no authentic
or official accounts have been published, or, as far as the
Times knows, received by the British Government from
the officers in command of our own fleet. The Russian
version, in the form of a report from General Osten Sacken,
is published. The Times boasts that the operations
before Odessa are only the prelude of a more serious and
decisive character against the great Russian naval esta-
blishment.
