THE BALTIC FLEET. 
BOMBARDMENT OF IIANGO. 
Od the forenoon of the 22d the Magicienno, 16, Captain 
Fisher, and Dragon, G, Captain Wilcox, anchored off Ilango. 
The Dragon, during her cruiso in the Gulf of Finland, 
reconnoitred the port of Revel. Perceiving therein two of 
the enemy’s vessels at anchor under tho batteries, she 
determined to capture them, even at the risk of being 
severely handled. The gallant captain of the Dragon 
took up such a position that the guns of the fortress could 
not be brought to bear upon him. Shot after shot was fired 
by the enemy, but each fell wido of its mark. In a short 
time the two vessels were taken, and were towed into 
Hango-bay by the Dragon on the following morning. An 
excellent opportunity of proving the range of the large pivot 
guns placed on the forecastles of steam vessels was afforded 
this day. The DragOD, Basilisk, and Magicienne having 
signified to wish to try the effect of shot and shell at a long 
range, it was intimated to them that no better target could 
be found than the fort of Gustafsvarn. Tiiese vessels accord- 
ingly anchored off the fort at a distance of about 1,600 yards, 
and for a period of two hours kept up a constant bombard- 
ment. A great many of the shot and shell fired by the 
Dragon pitched on tho enemy’s fort, and must have killed 
several of the rneu stationed at the guns, besides causing 
great destruction to many portions of the fort itself. The 
enemy returned the fire slowly, but their guns were well 
laid, as the Dragon was struck by no less than 20 shot, 16 
of which penetrated her hull, one of them entering her sholl 
room, but fortunately causing no material injury. One of 
her men had his leg shot off, and died shortly afterwards.

Plymouth, Thursday Evening. 
This afternoon a strange screw steamer, bark-rigged, with 
a white funnel, passed up channel, inside the Eddystone. 
At six o’clock she was followed by a bark-rigged paddle-

OSTEN SACKEN SENT TO SIBERIA. 
It is rumoured at Constantinople that General Osten- 
Sackon was menaced with disgrace, and that he would in 
all probability be degraded to tho lowest rank, and 6ent to 
Siberia as a private soldier — notwithstanding the Grand 
Cross of St. Andrew given him for the “ victory ” he 
gained at Odessa. The letters say that he stands charged 
with not having applied to its proper use a largo sum of 
money 6ent some time since by the Emperor of Russiu for 
the repairs of the defence of that city. An inquiry was 
instituted after the bombardment, and the result has been 
highly unfavourable to the integrity of the parties to whose 
bauds the funds were entrusted.

THE WAR IN THE DOBRUTSCHA. 
[from a special correspondent.] 
Sciiumla, May 11.— The event that has created tho 
strongest sensation here lately has been the execution of a 
spy. The place where he was discovered and taken was 
Matschin. One of the Turkish soldiers there wentoneevening 
to a restaurant, where he got into the company of a man 
dressed as a Bulgarian peasant. The stranger put many 
questions about the number of troops, and other things con- 
nected with the defence of the place. All the food and 
wine that were called for were freely paid for by the stranger, 
who detained his military acquaintance beyond the time 
when he should have been at his post. On his return to his 
duty his commanding officer reproved him for his absence, 
and demanded tho cquso of it. The soldier told him where 
he had been, and of the person with whom he had spent tho 
evening, his questions, and liberality in money matters. 
The stranger was soon found, and conducted to the 
quarters of the officer. The answers he gave were so 
very unsatisfactory that he was immediately suspected 
of being a spy, and delivered over to the hands of 
justice. On his trial his guilt was clearly established. 
Schumla was 6olected as the place most likely to give no- 
toriety to his punishment, and to rendor his case a warning 
to others. Three days ago he was conducted by a largo 
budy of military from one end of Schumla to the other. 
Ishmacl Pasha, with a large staff, led tho way. As the 
procession moved on, the crowd of people swelled to a great 
degree. The place where it halted was that part of the 
plain where the field artillery are encamped. The criminal 
was led out to a spot in viow of all present. Ismael Pusha 
and his staff alighted. Tho preparations for execution were 
very soon finished — nothing, in fact, having been done except 
the binding of the man’s eyes, and the tying of bis hands more 
tightly. The Pasha gave the signal to nine soldiers, who 
wero placed at twenty-five yards from the condemned man, 
to fire. Three fired first, but only one of their shots 
took effect. It made him stagger, and fall. Another three 
then fired, but with little more effect ; after which the 
remaining three discharged their muskets at him. Four 
balls in all seem to have struck him ; but bos bo was not 
dead, three other soldiers were ordered to fall out of their 
ranks, and to fire upon him. After they had done so, 
several men went up to the unkilled man, and stuck their 
bayonets into his skull. He groaned so heavily that the 
crowd heard him. The finishing part of the business was 
little else than revolting to their feelings. Several Turkish 
officers went up, it is said, to tho mutilated man, drew 
their swords across his throat, and then licked the bloo
