Great tidings are ex pscted from tie Baltic. The
formidable character Of the work before hiTa has
made even Napier hesitate to act without the sup
port of ministerial responsibility; but the fact of

the Admiralty, being despatched as midshipmen

pledge on the part Of the English ministers that
they know the desperate character Of the service,
and, in common with the kith and kindred Of Eng
land, are prepared to share 1t.
Great uncertainty prevails regarding the answer
which the Emperor Of Russia may have sent to the
Austrian summons respecting his evacuation of the
Principaties. The official organ, the Moniteur, is
profoundly silent the subject, and yet, from the
manner which the Pays, in its semiofcial position,
has a oxen of the version given OF this reply in the
NtD Prhssidn Gazette, general disposition Is
eyinced to believe in its partial accuracy.

fr6m the spirit Of the protocols OF the Conference OF
Vienna to which it, in the first place, states its will
lingness to ADHERE and, in fact that it approaches
much nearer to the demands originally made by
Prince Menschkof, and which were the cause OF the

II is very certain that the Emperor of Russia Is
beyond measure iTitated agans: all and things.
He s irrtated against bis soldiers, who not In

and from contagious disease; be IL iDtatei against
his generals, VINO have allowed themselves to be
stopped by obstacles which they could neither fore

minstfaton services, which have not been able To
provide for the wants Of the amy and he Is irri
tated more particularly against Austria and Prussia
in spite of the earnest overtures, by means Of pr
yate letters, which they are believed to have re-
spectyely made to him, and in which, il is said they
their existing relations with France and England
to preserve and cherish his alliance.
