ID. PRICE, Rear Admiral, COMMANDMENTS Chief.
To the Captains, officers, Seamen and Marines
serving in the squadron on the Paciac station.
The Paris Constitutional Of June 2lst, says:-We
have accounts Of Admiral Panlutin and the Rlssisn
squadron, whose peregrinatons 10 the Pacific Ocean
have been related. The particulars which we ind in
the Eco H'sPano duefcano, assess importance and
interest because they throw light the projects Of
Russia in those distant regions. In March last tne
squadron commanded by Admiral PaDiutin suddenly
made its appearance in the Bay of Manila Their
arrival caused the more asst constituent az the Car
bad always refused to recognize the legitimacy u
Queen Isabella, and as, in fact, Russia has always
openly supported the cause Of Don Carl,e "a 4
which has completely interrupted all diplomatic q
commercial relations between the two countries To
the surprise of every one, the Russian squadron on
entering the bay, fired the sartes usual with allied
and friendly nations. Ii also fired sautes in honor
OF the happy ACCOMPLISHMENT Of Queen Isabella, when
the account Of that event received. Admiral
PanutiD also, accompanied by all his officers In ful

Philippines The situation of that place was also
an excellent point of observation for a squadron
which might entertain hostile designs against the
English settlements in India aud China These
considerations did not escape the sagacity Of the
Spanish governor, and on receiving tho Russian Of
ficeis, he took care that the interview should be
purely Of private character, thus uniting the laws
Of politeness with the rules OF prudence. This re-
ccption appeared to discomfort the plans Of Admiral
paniutiD, although 1t old not discourage him. A
short time after he demanded permission from tho
governor to establish some buildings on shore fog
the purpose of Erecting some necessary repairs To
bis vessels and for the purpose OF astronomical OBJ
seivations, thus endeayoriug To obtain favor viii IN
The colonial laws Of Spain refused ~ allied
ard friendly powers. This request wAs peremS-
trily refused by the Marquis dc Nogaliches. An
Other request was then ma ie by the Admiral for
permission for hrs officers II penetrate into the La
gune, on the plea that they we're anxious to see .
