PARIS, Friday Evening. 
According to intelligence from Malta of the 22d, the 
division of General Forey has left in 14 steamers for Athens, 
which city it will occupy. 
(BY SUBMARINE AND EUROPEAN TELEGRAPH.) 
The fuel of the signature of a Protocol by the repre- 
sentatives of the Four Powers, asserting their determination 
to maintain the integrity of Turkey, is confirmed, Austria 
and Prussia will now demand the evacuation of the Turkish 
territory, and accordingly a draught of a note to Russia has 
been sent by the Conference to Berlin for the approval of 
the Prussian government. A simil ir notification hus been 
Diude to the Diet at Frankfort; five protocols of the pro- 
ceedings of the Vienna Conference laid before it; the fact 
of the Austro-Prussian Treaty notified to that assembly, 
and the other German states invited to adhero to it. 
THE LOSS OP THE TIGER. 
Sir James Graham, on Friday night, admitted that the 
Government had too much reason to believe that the Tiger 
has really been lost. We subjoin the following extract from 
the Journal of Odessa of May 3 (15); The day before 
yesterday, in tha morning, April 30 (old style), an English 
steam frigate, tho Tiger, stranded near the country estate of 
M. Corlazzi, at about 7 versts from the city. Our pieces 
of heavy ordnance having at rived on the beach, the 
steamer was forced to strike Jts flag, before two other 
English steamers, the Vesuvius and tiie Niger, which 
were cruising ut a distance, could come to her relief. 
The commander of the Tiger had a leg shot off ; a mid- 
shipman perished, having lost both his legs ; 5 men were 
wounded. There were made prisoners: — The commanding 
officer, 25 officers, 25 midshipmen, and 176 sailors. On our 
side, Lieut.-Colonel 1 llinsky, commanding the 2nd light 
battery of the 16ih brigade, and Lieut. Smirnov, of the re- 
serve brigade of the 4th division of artillery, received con- 
tusions ; two soldiers and three horses were killed. There 
not being any means for getting off the 6trandcd steamer, in 
order to prevent the fleets of the enemy bringing it relief, 
it was given up to the flames after the crew hud been taken 
out. At half-past 8 in the evening the vessel blew up.

“ VIENNA, Thursday Morning. 
f “It is credibly related that Austria and Prussia yesterday 
sent a summons to Russia to evacuate the Turkish territory.’ ’ 
l Accounts were received at Constantinople on the 15th tiiat 
the Russians had evacuated all their positions from Batoum 
to Anapa, an exient of 200 leagues. They retired to 
Kutais, Id the interior. Tho Circassians took possession of 
all the posts which the Russians had occupied, making 
prisoners 1,500 men at Sukkum-Kaleh. The Circassians 
bad proclaimed a provisional Government, under the presi- 
dency of a brother-in-law of Schamyl. 
The combined fleets were still cruising off Sebastopol on 
the 1 1th. 
There was then so intense a fog that the flag-ships were 
continually firing guns to inform the rest of the fleet of their 
position from time to time. 
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 15. 
Tbe Russians are advancing from tho Dobrudscha. 
They liave cut off communication between Silistria and Varna, 
os well as the sea coast, and they have done the same between 
Varna and Sbumla. 
The allied armies are in motion, in order to co-operate with 
Omar Poslm. 
The English division of the corps of flight infantry at Scuta 
has received marching orders for Tuesday next. It is thougl 
the route is for Varnu. 
Portsmouth, Thursday Nioht. — The Royalist, 1C Cor 
Blander Bate, has arrived from China. 
She reports the Queen of the South two degrees north of t 
Equator, with Sir Charles Hothain on Board. 
TURKEY. 
Tho Constltutionnel says:— “ The latest news from Con- 
stantinople is exceedingly important. Our correspondent 
informs us that Prince Leon of Armenia is expected at 
Rome, where lie is to negotiate with the Pope tho reconcili- 
ation of the Eastern Church with that of Rime. This affair, 
conducted by one of the principal personages of the Eastern 
Church, cannot but have, wo are told, a favourable result in 
present circumstances. Our correspondent adds, that 
Prince Leon, lawful heir and direct descendant of the reigning 
families of Armenia, is young and ardent, a man of talent 
and spirit, and ho has no doubt that the prince will easily 
remove any difficulties which might stand in the way of the 
union of the two churches, already so little separated from 
eacli other. Their amalgamation, omincntly useful to the 
interests of the Christians of the East in a religious point of 
view, would be besides one of the most important event of 
the present period. 
BUCHAREST, May 19. 
On the 16th Prince Paskiowitsch give orders that tho 
bombardment of Silistria should cease. We do not know 
whether this is to be attributed to the menacing attitude of 
Austria or to some negociations for a capitulation that may 
tin oornr on lutvveon tho Russians an l tho Turks. 
PESTII, May 19. 
A Greek bishop was arrested here on the evening of the 
18th, asa Russian omissary, and taken to the Now-Building, 
where political offenders are kept. Important papers, it is 
raid, were found on his person. 
SCUTARI CAMP, May 2. 
Wo have quite a bazaar hero, and it is principally tenanted 
by Jews and Greek-. Thosuttling tents are kept by Greeks, 
and a rascally lot they aro ; I would sooner take a Turk’s 
word than a Greek’s oath. They have got a Greek in prison 
for attempting to poison two soldiers of the 88th Regiment. 
It is only of the lower class of Greeks that I talk this way ; 
tho bettor class arc well enough. 
The Srroinboli paddle-wheel steamsloop, Commander 
Robert Hall, left Woolwich Royal Arsenal on Thursday, on 
her way to Malta and tho Bosphorus, with shot, shell, and 
other munitions of war for tho East. 
THE BALTIC. 
Seizure of Prizes at Liuau.— E xtract of a letter 
from her Majesty’s ship Amphiun, off Momel, May 19, 
1854: — 
“ You will nryloubt be pleased to hear of our doings at 
Liban. On the 17th, the Ampliion, 34, screw, Captain 
Astley Key, anl Conflict, 8, screw, Captain Arthur 
Camming, received orders to get up steam and to anchor 
about a mile off the town of Liban. At noon Captain 
Camming was dispatched to summon tho town to sur- 
render at discretion, and deliver up within three hours 
the wholo of the shipping in the harbour, and on these 
conditions the town would bo spared At throe p.m., 
an answer was returned, that as tho governor had 
no means of successfully resisting an attack from the 
power brought against them, ho threw himstlf and the 
inhabitants on tho mercy of the commander of the British 
squadron. Their shipping was up a very narrow creek, 
and both sides lined with houses, from which we might have 
sustained some heavy damage ; but they had no forts, and 
therefore we could have bombarded the town and shipping. 
At five we manned and armed boats under our respective 
officers, commanded by tbe captains, and fully prepared to 
guard against treachery, or anything that might turn up. 
However, no impediment was offered, and the boats 
pulled up about two miles. The officers and crows left 
in the ships waited with extreme anxiety until they ob- 
served a movement amongst the enemy’s ships, and 
right glad were they to perceive them one by one brought 
down the creek towards us. At eight o’clock, we were 
gratified in being surrounded by eight prizes — 'quite a little 
fleet — sorry to say, though, they were empty ; one other 
was partially scuttled. There were also two vessels on the 
stocks, and three aground scuttled. The inhabitants looked 
on whilst (this cool proceeding was taking place, without 
expressing any angry feelings. They took it as a matter 
of course, aud seemed thankful that their town was not 
battered about their ears ; in fact, they seemed astonished 
at our clemency. As to our sailors, it seemed to them a 
matter of amusement, and they got the vessels under weigh 
with the same coolness as if they were going out of Ports- 
mouth Harbour. The following day the Amphion and 
Conflict proceeded to Memel with the prizes, each vessel 
taking four in tow. 
A correspondent at Dantsic sends a despatch dated Friday, 
which states that no steamer had arrived from the Baltic 
fleet up to that date, and that two weeks’ despatches 
and one mail were waiting there for conveyance to the 
fleet. 
MAILS FOR AUSTRALIA.

vance, will be chargeable upon letters transmitted by

Death op Vice-Admiral Hyde Parker, Senior 
Naval Lord op the Admiralty We regret to an- 
nounce the death of this gallant officer, which took place 
at Ham, on Thursday evening. Ho was First Naval 
Lord of the Admiralty under the Duke of Northumberland, 
in Lord Derby’s administration, and still retained his 6eat

Presentation op New Colours to the Royal 
City of London Militia. — At the muster for the usual 
morning exercise on Friday, it was intimated that next 
Tuesday afternoon a lady of high distinction will present this 
corps with a very handsome pair of colours. It is expected 
that his Royal Highness Princo Albert will be present on 
tho occasion, and the gentlemen of tho Hon. Artillery Com- 
pany, witli their band, will, it is believed, attend the cere- 
mony. To prevent the (ground being too much crowded by 
company, tickets will bo issued by the officers of the Royal 
London Militia. 
Robbbry at Wimbledon op £200 to £300 in Gold 
Notes, &c — Another extensive robbery has been coml

Escape op a Convict. — A young man named Samuel 
Summers, 18 years of age, lias succeeded in effecting 
his escape from an officer who was conveying hj m 
Springfield House of Correction, at the Railway station 
Chelmsford. ’ 
Desperate Attempt by a Man to Murder H is 
Wipe in the City. — O n Thursday evening, the most in- 
tense excitement was created in the vicinity of Farringdon- 
stroet and Victoria-street, in consequence of the screams of 
a married woman, named Parry, who resided with her 
husband in Field-street, Holborn. The ruffian assaulted 
her in the open street. Several hundred persons had as- 
sembled, bnt the violence and brutality of the man Parry i 8 
so well knowu in tho neighbourhood, that the crowd was 
deterred from interfering, until tbe police, fortunately 
passing, captured tho brutal ruffian, and conveyed his u Q , 
fortunate wife, in a dying state, to the hospital. 
Naval and Military.— A telegraphic despatch from 
Queenstown announces the arrival on Friday morning at
