The London Herald of the 9th, affirr,s.
IN Geographic despatch from it's special
correspondent on the Baltic, that on tie
9Th of May the British steam frigate
Leopard, bearing the flag of Rear Admi-
raj Plumridge, came into Stockholm with
news that the Russian feet was coming
out of Helsingfors. The commander.in.
chief instantly signalled the English feet,
and made ready for sea.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times writes as follows. The Emperor,
it would seem, is determined to follow
in the footsteps of "my uncle.'
The establishment of the camp be-
tween Montreuil and St. Omer is thought
to be quite as much directed towards
Prussia as towards the Baltic or the Gulf
OF Finland, and, in case Prussia show ed
symptoms of foul play, it is not improbable
that this army, Joined by Formidable
Belgian contingent, would find its wav
to the banks of the Rhine. 1t is whisper
ed that the Emperor reserves to himself
the command of this fine army, and that

ment:
There are now strong hopes that the
ng-missing steamer, City of Glasgow,
has been heard from, and that she NAV
yet be safe with all on board. A dis.
patch from Cork to the Messrs. Rich.
ardsons, states that on the 9th April,
large steamship, answering in all respects
to the appearance of the City of Glasgow,
was seen steering for the Azores, dis
lance OF some four hundred miles there
from. She was large steamer, and al
together like the City of Glasgow. There
were strong hopes that it was her.
The steamer City of Glasgow (sup-
posed to bel was spoken in latitude As
degrees 80 minutes. She had o bark
along side, and was steering towards the
Azores. Her masts and other portions
of the rigging were taken for firewood.
The ship seen had yellow paddle
boxes, and therefore induces the reluctant
belief that she may not have been the
City of Glasgow.
