$35,872,787 56c. At Moguelumue-hill $600,000 worth of
property had been destroyed by fire. At Campo Seco a
conflagration had destroyed upwards of $lOO,OOO worth.
St. Louis had suffered a loss of $150,000 from the same
cause. H.M.S. Amphitrite, and the French corvette
L'Artimese, had arrived at San Francisco from the Sand-
wich Islands. They had failed to find the Russian ships.
According to the San Francisco papers, the Russian fleet
was at Petropaulski, prepared to resist if attacked. The
town had been fortified. The San Francisco Herald
says—" By the arrival of the American brig Boston, Capt.
-Hedges, we have advices from Petropaulski, a Russian
port on the peninsula of Kamschatka, up to July 16.
From a gentleman attached to the Boston, we have
gathered intelligence of much interest just at this juncture,
regarding the movements of the Russians at that place..
At the time the Boston left, there were in port a double-
banked Russian frigate of 44 guns, the corvette 011eutza,
of 22 guns, from the Baltic, with a Baltic crew, a Guarda
Costa and the Russian American Company's ship Kams-
chatka, armed with eight guns, and with a crew of twenty
men. News of the war in Europe had been brought to
Petropaulski by the American barque Bhering, and the
Russians were making great preparations to resist an anti-
cipated attack by the Allied fleet. The port is defended by
several fortifications, and new ones are being erected, con-
sisting of one or two masked batteries, with three or four
mortars. The. Governor has under his command a full
regiment of soldiers fully equipped, and is confident that
he can stand a pretty long siege. Petropaulski contains
between 3,600 to 4,000 inhabitants, including a few Ameri-
cans and Englishmen, and one American store. Every
body must be a soldier or a sailor, and respond to the
_Governor's call at a moment's notice. The town is situate
on an inland bay, the entrance to which, from the ocean,
is through a narrow inlet, three miles in length, studded
with islands, and commanded by several batteries. A
vessel may enter without danger, although there are many
difficulties to encounter. Captain Hedges, with the Boston,
beat-in and out in a fog. The Governor thinks, and our
informant also, that it would be impossible to take the
post with anything short of a fleet of steamers, as new
batteries are being built to cover every approach. The
Russians were daily looking for the arrival at Petropaulski
of an English frigate and corvette, on their way to Amoor
river, at the mouth of which they , (the Russians) have
several strong forts."
The 71st regiment embarked from Quebec on the 23rd
for Liverpool.
The captain and crew of the brig Poultney, wrecked on
the passage from Liverpool for Baltimore, were picked up
at sea by the schooner Jupiter, froth St. tiles, and taken
to New York.
