retiring into interior from their invaders and avoid

We have been shown dispatch dated in Petropau
ofiski from Rear Admiral Fourichon, of the French
feet in which he states after risy ,itulang TIE
facts above enumerated, hat the Russian gankN
numbering as lie JOHrEet informs usl some 200 mn
bao doubtless sailed for the mouth OF the Amoor Rive
which drains the Southern pordOn OF Siberia, sni
flows into the Gulf SHghalien, an arm OF the Ses q
Ochosk. They left for this point the 18th of April
and were doubtless ,heIe before the French and e.
elish arrived at Kamischatka This river Is REGARDED
as the dividing line between China and Asatic Rus
si0 ard at its mouth very strong series OF fort
cations, which have been greatly strengthened tcn
time 10 time by the Russians. II is thought by
of The officers of the Obi gado that the immense ARM
ment of Petropaulotfski was earned there with he
garrison; and if this be true there will be Wese1
Seyastopol which may puzzle the Allies as much ss boz
tie stI onghold in the Crimea.
The fleets have gone TO cruise for the present amor
the Aleutian islands, and will probably look in 8
Siika. An English and French squadron have pm
ceeded by the China Sea 10 the mouth of the AmoQ
river, where, the dispatch says, there will soon y
severe fighting. There are about ten ships Of war h
these fleets, which would be joined by the steam
Brisk now at Petropaulofski. The ne-o-battle-shi
Monarchi lie the flag ship of the English fleet.
THE DESCENT UPON sITKA-THE WORKS Sof
ABANDoNED-THE ZENoBA.
From The Placer Times and Transeript, July "a
The report of the operations of the allied fleet ber
Sitba, and Of The abandonment 500 l~os by |
Russian authorities, which we publisNed y .erfg (
having been hastily obtained, was necessarily yer /
and Ill satisfactory Since the publication referreth
we have been enabled to procure more autnenn |
and entirely reliable account OF those operation /
Our oizeus will be pleased TO learn that the port
ArchaDgel has not been deserte by the RUssans, a
that DO hostile proceedings against the garrison wer
contemplated or attempted during the late visit Of D.
Allies 10 he coast of Si'ka. The compact TO which " /
referred Yesterday between the Russi an and Brin /
Cover merts, whereby the Russan-Amesican Con
pary and the Hudson Bay Company were mutually /
he exempt from an assault on land from either OF n
fwo bellgerert Powers, was completely respected g
the Allies. Tie object of their visit seems merely
have been 70 ascertain whether any naval force b.
longing TO the Gar was to be found in that quartz
and Satisfied upon this point, the Admirals did nS
think proper to exercise night reserved il the Goa
pact-that of blockade.
On arriving off the harbor the allied ships dld o
enter but the English and French Admirals, WI
their suites, embarked ontoard the English steam
Briik, and entered the port. They wers waited ups
10y boat from shore containing the 6overnors S
retary, who communicated the Information tnat
accordance with the spirit Of the treaty bet'eeD u
gland and their Government, no preparations iWG
ieuse had been deemed necessary and that none M
been made. If the French Admiral should fbr
PROPER TO assail the town no resistance would
offered and they could only asa that they be taken
board the menOf war prisolers, for II their desa
against the hostile Indians were destroyed, chd "
town burnt, The whole populaton-men, women 3D.
chil0reI-would be at tue mercy OF the sayages, W.
surrounded the place in such numbers that tnei "
struciioD would be inevitable
We believe an understanding of the best naturen
always existed between the Russian and Eoglsh ush4
compspies and that in of emergency arising ~,
anv difficulty with the Indians, either on the main sH
or the island each company holds itself In readl0s
TO aid the other. Hence the pacific treaty whica
have air ady referred 10. "a,
island aud the suffeTings for want Of provisions So
incorrect The Inhabitants of Sitka had on abandsne.
but as they had not for long while beard from
numerous tIadrg-pcsts on the adjacent islands iDI
were apprehensiye that those who filed them ""'
suffering in this respect.
The feet arrived at sitka in % days from PetropF
loski, and sailed on the 18th inst for this port. ~
number of soldiers in the place never exceeded "
men, who were kept there merely as pro'eesS
against the Indiana and the Notifications, It was !"
understood, were intended for no other purpose.
Another item of Information which We na'o " Il
taned il that an American ship laden with lce of -

sailed a few days before the arrival Of the neel.
may consequently be expected in few days
