Spain.
The Baltic's news gives Us clearer idea Of
the Importance Of the late military advantages
gained by the allies than we had formed from
the advices received by the previous steamer.
The capture of the Mamelon and the works ex-
tending from it to the Careening Bay, gives
their batteries the range Of that part Of Sebas-
topol which lies to the east of the military har-
bor and also Of the ships remaining in the inlet
of Sebastopol. The Russian guns Of the Ma
melon have been turned against the vessels
lying in Artillery Bay, and it was expected
would destroy and sink them by their fire. The
progress gained by these successes wosld, it
was thought, soon place the whole Of the Rus
sian Notifications in the hands of the besegers.
A rumor prevailed in Paris that General Nor
ris had cut Off the route which leads from Sebas-
topol to Simpheropol and Perekop-an opera
tion which weuld have the effect Of Fastening
the fall Of the town-but this report seems to
want confirmation.
The allies have also obtained some addition
al successes in the Sea of AzoG. Every place
of Importance along its coast, from Kertch to
Arabat, and from Genetchi to Taganrog, is now
in their possession. The latter town is situated
at the mouth of the Don, 80 that the interior
trade Of the districts through which it runs will
be brought to complete stand still by its &C.
cupation by the enemy. The most substantial
advantage gained in this quarter is, however,
the fall OF Anapa on the Circassian coast. It
was evacuated by the Russians without any at
tempt to maintain it, and is now in the hands
of the Circassians.
These advantages are, however, in some de-
gree damped by the approximations entertained
of the effects of contagious disease amongst the
allied troops. Typhus fever and cholera have
already begun to decimate their ranks, and, as
the hot season advances, it is feared that these
diseases will commit greater havoc amongst
them than even the sword itself To the pro-
bable calamities to which they will lead, will
have to be added that terrible scourge of the
Crimea, the opthalmia of Sebastopol, which
rots out the eye from the socket within four and
twenty hours after the organ is attacked. Un-
less, therefore, Pelissier hurries up matters,
Generals July and August may do as much for
the Russians as their famous mensal predeces-
sOFs.
The debate in the English House of Com.
mons on the war, which had become tires0me
from it's prolixity, has terminated in the adop.
ton of resolution to suppost her Majesty's
ministers. From the aristocratic constitu ton
of the lower house nothing less was to be ex-
pected. Lsyard, undaunted, however, returns
to the charge, and has brought forward another
motion, impeaching the system of family in
fuence by which England is governed. A
monster meeting of the Administration Reform
Association was held ct Drury lane theatre on
the 18th, at which some strong resolutions
were passed on the subject. There was large
number of members of Parliament present.
The sentiments expressed by the Duke of
Cambridge at the Merchant Tailors' dinner, in
reference to the war, seem to have excited
rather an anxious feeling in Paris ~ hope"
said His Grace, ''that when the operations we
are now engaged in terminate successfully, the
country will adopt noble and generous
course, and give the enemy an opportunity Of
coming to just and honorable peace" The
French conclude from this that the English
portunity to back out from the war.
The state of Spain is extremely critical, al
though Tor the moment the insurrection seems
to be crushed. The cause assigned for the
late ministerial changes is the decree declaring
that enrolment in the militia should be in
future voluntary, instead of compulsory; and
that no one should be obliged to pay tax for
refusing to serve. The municipal authorities,
unwilling to do away with this tax, remon-
strated against it, and an outside pressure was
brought to bear upon the Cabinet, which led to
the resignation of M. Luzuriaga and three of his
colleagues. Adeliberate slight had been passed
upon Espartero by the Cortes, in refusing q
usual courtesy to the minister, which was near
leading to his abandonment Of Office. He was
only induced to remain by the earnest entrea.
ties of his friends. The Paris correspondent of
the London Times has the following state.
ment:-'I learn, on good authority, that proofs
have been furnished to the French government
Of the relations existing between the Carlist
conspirators and the Russian government"
Nothing more probable.
The London Globe formally contradicts the
report that a congress Of United States Minis.
tiers was to be held in London, and adds that
Mr.. Fillmore was simply there en- ooyageur.
MILE. RAcHEL-PUBLIC TAsTE.-It appears
that notwithstanding all warnings Mile. Rachel
is resolutely bent on coming to this country.
She had been placed on her guard by expert
enced friends; che had been advised that the
Americans at large did not understand the only
language she speaks, and are not generally
fond Of classic tragedy; and for time these
warnings seem to have rendered her irresolute |;
but she has at last cut the knot, as she says,
and resolved cofite que cotite to cross the At
