A special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE at Ham
burg writes, on the 11th inst There are many in
dieations that the French intend, within a short
time to raise the blockade both of the Baltic and of
the North Sea. When Admiral Vice-Fourichon heard
that the Republic was proclaimed, and he
himself appointed the Minister of the Navy
he assembled the officers of the squadron on the
flagship, aud consulted them on the expediency of
recognising the Republic Nearly all gave their adj
beson 10 the new Government FCurchon started
for Cherbourg. The greater part of the Baltic fleet
is concentrated in Kioge Bay about 20 miles south
east of Copenhagen the remainder is anchored OIL
Moen Island-both portions in Danish waters, not
withstanding the prohibition of the King of Den
mark. The heaviest ships will soon be ordered to
return to France. The blockade is continually
evaded as the ships are unfit for such service
Yesterday the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce
telegraphed TO the German Consul at Copenhagen
inauiring whether the French fleet still in the
Baltic, as it had not been seen during more than a
week. Notwithstanding the reported return of the
French fleet preparations for defense unrelaxed.
The news to-day from Alsen Sound is that vessels
are warned against entering the roadstead, all conf
municatons having just been closed by triple row
of torpedoes"
The special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE with
the Baltic feet writes from Copenhagen ON the 7th
inst. "There has been no serious demonstration by
the fleet since the affair at Colberg, where the
Prussans hoisted the hospital flag and ladies crowded
tbe pier the Admiral refused to fire.
"The news of the capitulation of the Emperor and
the declaration of the Republic produced disturb

Minister was well received There is fresh hope now
that the squadron will either receive practicable or

Mr.. EDIToR,-One thing it behooves the
voters of the First Congressional District TO
consider. 1t is this. Useful lnen, laborious
men, brilliant men have represented this dis
trict in Congress. Yet of no one o; them can
it be said that by his labors he made positive
additions to available sum of human kaowl-
edge upoa great political question, at all
comparable with those made by Mr.. Lynch.
The facts essential to intelligent legislators
upon the matters of shipbuilding and COM
nrer-A upon which such legislation must be
based, upon wfrrcf.7s-- be based. whosever
bill is carried through Congress, 1ravo been
collected by Mr.. Lynch. They have been col.
lected by him alone for substantially the
whole burden Of the special committe. of
which he was chairman, fell upon him. Can
any former incumbent of the Office show such
a record of hard work? Has any other one
ever issued a report fraught will equal meas
ures of instruction? We shall truly dishonor
ourselves, if we do not give our representa-.
tive such an emphatic endorsement as he new
