THE BALTIC. 
KxrBCTBD Attack on SweaBoro. — The following 
Megriiphic despatch is dated Gothland, Sunday Both 
fleets uro ut Borosund, twenty miles from Sweaborg, and it 
is exported they will attm k the latter place on the 13th. 
Admiral Corry is at pagerhut. There aro sixteen Russian 
sail in Sweaborg. The hospital ship has urrived. Russian 
ship, loaded with stone, to sink off Swoahorg. Dauntless 
gone to England with several prizes. A letter of the 7 1 h in 
the Monitcur, says: — “Our last accounts of Sir C. Napier 
are to the 4lh.* At that (Into the Admiral wus with t lie 
English fleet ond the Austerlilz at Berosund, nonr Helsing- 
fors, where he thinks that he saw (ok il croyait aperccvoir) 
ten Russian vessels.” 
A privnte letter in the Cmrwr Posten stales that the com 
momior of Sweaborg has been imprisoned for life. He bad 
sold the cannon balls by thousands, and provided others of 
wood, painted blnck. He had also converted two ramparts 
into gardens. They are employed night oud day in restoring 
the fort i css. 
FniDAY’s Gazette. — A n official notification is given 
herein of the strict blockade of forts in the Baltic, “ by a 
competent force.” 
We understand that the Admiralty have ordered the Locust 
to leave the Downs for the Baltic on the 21st. 
The Russian Frigate in the Pacific. — We hear 
from Callao that the Russian 50-gun ft igate left that port on 
tho 26th of April, on service, and that the French frigate 
Eurydice, 24, sailed from Cullao on the same day. We 
trust that the Frenchmen fell in with one of our 26-gun 
frigates, and that by this time they have made a good 
prize. 
Thb Russian Fleet in the China Seas. — A letter 
from Hong Kong, dated April 22, received in Liverpool, 
states : — “ When the Lady Mary Wood (steamer) with the 
□tails from England, approached Woosuog on the last trip, 
she found the Russian man-of-war Printz Menchikoff 
waiting outside for news from Europe, which having ob- 
tained, site started no one knows where, but probably to 
some rendezvous in the north. Tho report about the Rus- 
sian squadron going to Bavavia from Manilla, originated in 
a ruse. Admiral Pontintani did not proceed to Batavia, 
but sturted direct to the north from Manilla. 
STOCKHOLM, Tuesday, June 13. 
Tho French fleet was seon on the 9th of June at Ostcr- 
gern. 
LATEST FROM TURKEY.

A report has arrived hero to tho effect that, on the 9th 
instant, Prince Paskiewitsch rereived a severe wound in the 
sido and right leg from a ball from the Turkish batteries, 
and that lie was, in consequence, removed to Jassy. Prince 
Gortschakoff, it is added, then assumed the command of the

The fleets are near Varna. The division that was to havo 
sailed for Anapa has not yet sailed. 
Schamyl has joined the Circassians in the plains.

Paris, Thursday, June 15. 
The long continued inactivity of the fleets in the Black Hen and 
the Baltic, is beginning to create decided symptoms of impatience 
among the Parisian public, which will not toko into account the 
difficulties and delays which must necessarily ensue at the com- 
mencement of operations of such magnitude as those now prepar- 
ing. Let them reflect and keep in mind the speech delivered by 
Eir C. Napier, previous to his departure, which showed how 
thoroughly he understood the task before him. Tl.e accounts 
since received from the Iiultic nil confirm the correctness of the 
statements he then mode, lie eagerly seeks an opportunity to 
strike a blow that will astonish the world, but at the sumo t'lmo 
he takes every precaution to avoid partial engagements which 
would lead to nothing but disabling his vessels, however 
such an event might gratify the insane craving for news of tho 
London cockneys or Parisian ladauds. 
Some rumours originating in malice, and greedily circulated 
by credulons ignorance, have been afloat respecting s divorce in 
•n illustrious quarter. It is without a shadow of foundation, 
but has created pain and uneasiness in the circlo particularly 
aimed at ; and Los so far answered the purpose of the inventors. 
The epigrams and fabrications of the old women of both sexes 
in whut is called the “ noble faubourg ” (and it contains little 
else) annoyed even the first Napoleon when in the zenith of his 
power, and their calumnies on poor Louia Philippe, were, ifpossi- 
ble, more gross than even those of the Republicans. Perhaps the 
present ruler of Prance may deal with them less indulgently 
than either of the two former. The world are grown heartily 
tired of a party who can do nothing but scold, and not oven that 
when thoro is the least semblance^? danger. 
The Grand Opera hero is nt length ahout to undergo a mnnn- 
gorial change, which it is hoped will bring about a rauoli wanted 
improvement, but the result of which must bo held to bo doubt- 
ful if it bo not too much to presume that directors of theatres, 
like other mortals, ought to know nt least something of their 
business. You will judge how fur this is likely to bo tho case, 
from the fact that the interest of Mr. Roqueplan, tho director 
appointed by Government, has been purchased by Messrs. 
Pore ire, Rrnost Andr6, D.wblny, Jun., anil another, whoso name 
has not been made public ; theso gentlemen being the well- 
known contractors who hnvo just paid nine millions of francs 
for tho building ground in the vicinity of tho Louvre, and who, 
though considered very able men, know nothing wliatcvor of n 
theatre, snvo the marketable value of tho ground it may happen 
to stand upon. They each pay £20,000, making a capital of 
£80,000, of ,whioli £40,000 is to bo devoted to tho payment of 
the debts of tho present director, tho other half to the carrying 
on the theatre. Lucky Mr. Roqueplan! — the worst of theatrical 
malingers, but who certainly heats to sticksccrtaiiiChanecllors of 
the Kxchequer that you and 1 know in raising supplies. His 
services aro said to ho retained by the theatre as director, 
under this now combination, at a salary of £1,000 n-ycar. It 
appears to ho expected by the company that the Government will 
augment its present annual grant, hut npon what grounds it is 
not easy to conceive, seeing that besides tho gratuitous use of the 
theatre, and the payment of the pensions to retired nctors, tho 
present allowance by the State is no less than 000,000 francs 
(£24,000) per annum. The performance, it must bo recollected, 
is only three nights a-wcek. Oh ! how a London mannger would 
rub his hand in ecatacy nt such munificence on the part of 
Government. 
In the mean time tho performances here are positively dis- 
grneeful. Roger, the tenor, the only ono really an artist in this 
thentre, has quitted in disgust, leaving for his successor Mr. 
Guoymard, who, with a fine voice, has no pretensions to being a 
singer; but who, finding himself raised into importance, is now 
continually finding himself afflicted with sudden hoarseness, 
catarrhs, and all “ tho various colds singers aro heirs to.” 
A few nights since Cruvelli appeared, on her return from 
London, in La Vcstale, the tenor part being occupied by a very 
respectable barytone, of third or fourth rate order, M. Merly. 
Thus circumstanced, the public naturally suppose that the ad- 
ministration of Messrs. Pereire and Co., or the Diablc himself, 
cannot be worse than the present. 
A splendid new boulevard is designed from the Madeleine to 
the Rue de Courcelles, and was to have been commenced this 
week ; but it being suggested to the Emperor, by Lord Cowley, 
that this would throw all the faubourg St. Honor<? into a state 
of dilapidation during the approaching Exhibition next year, 
the commencement of the execution of the project has been 
postponed until after that period, for nothing is to be allowed 
to interfere with the beauty of the capital at that time. Hopes 
continue to be entertained that Her Majesty and Prince Albert 
will honour us with a visit on that occasion. Should it take 
place, it will be the first time since the days of King Ilenry the 
Sixth that Paris will have had an English Sovereign within 
its walls. 
The Sunday closing movement is making vast progress, and 
our old acquaintance, Mr. C. Cochrane, is now to he found in 
all parts of the town, actively engaged in making proselytes. 
Some overtures on the subject have been made, it is said, to the 
theatres, but most unfavourably received; a circumstance not to 
he wondered at, seeing that Sunday is the great harvest of 
French theatres, some of which subsist only on the profits of 
that night, opening at a loss on all the others. 
Some interesting races have just taken place at Augers, in 
one of the central provinces. The winners were, in every case, 
well known on the turf, and belonged to the principal members 
of the Paris Jockey Club. The Departmental Stakes, of 4,000 
francs, wore wou by M. de Baracif s Guignnlet ; the Town Stakes, 
of 1,000 francs, by Count d'Hedouville’s Moustique ; and the 
Government Stakes, of 1,500 francs, by Prince de Beauvan’s 
Nathan. The proceedings were concluded by a steeple-chase 
for 1,400 francs, won by M. Delamarre's Flying Buck. The 
number of spectators was extraordinarily large ; a gratifying 
proof of the growing popularity of the sport throughout' the 
country. 
THE ENNISKILLEN DRAGOONS. 
BURNING OF THE EUROPA TRANSPORT. 
Death of Colonel Moore and Twenty ok the 
Regiment. — The following official account has been received at 
the Admiralty: — 
H M. steam frigate Tribune, at sen, lat. 47.48 N., long 7.43 AV. 
June 2, 1854. 
Sir — I have the honour to acquaint you, for the information 
of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, of the total de- 
struction of the Europa, horse transport, by fire, on the morn- 
ing of the Dt June, in lat. 48.1 N. and long. 7.30 W. 
About 7.30 a.m. on that day smoke was discovered in the 
N.W. from the mast-heads of H.M.S. Tribune, which, upon 
closer inspection, was perceived to arise from a vessel on tire. 
The ship’s course was immediately altered, and all sail made to 
close, and at 9.15. a.m. we had approached sufficiently near to 
make out the vessel in distress to be a large ship burnt down to 
the water’s edge abaft, with the hows only remaining above 
water. At 9.40. a.m. she suddenly went down, and shortly 
nfter 10 a.m. our boats were hoisted out and lowered, and com- 
menced a minute search amongst the floating spars and wreck, 
which was continued until 5 p.m. without finding any vestiges 
of crew or passengers. The weather was fine, the sun bright, 
and the horizon clear in every direction for many miles, but no 
boat was visible from the mast head before or after tho vessel 
went down. The sea was covered with charred timbers, hen- 
coops, floating hay, casks, and iron tanks containing biscuit. 
The contents of the latter remained ou fire for some hours after 
the ship had disappeared. 
The presence of a cavalry detachment was manifested by pick- 
ing up a trooper’s stirrup, und a pair of fatigue trowaors, in tbe 
pocket of which was found a purse containing sorno English 
money, and a receipt addressed to a farrier major, a copy of which 
I enclose. Tho stern of the ship appeared to have been blown 
out ; and the fire must have raged most fiercely in the after part; 
for the inizcnniust was burnt to a cinder, whilst the foremost was 
comparatively uninjured by fire. The masts had gono overboard 
at some distance from each other, with the yards nnd sails hoisted 
up nnd sheeted home ; somo small spars lashed to the head of tho 
mizenmast indicated preparations for making a raft. Finding no 
appearance of any human being, and no relies of the boats, I felt 
disposed to think that the crow had made their escape in thorn, 
or had found their way on hoard somo other vessel, and 
aftor having stood for two hours in tho direction which it 
wus assumed tho boats would have Btcercd, wo fell in with 
one adrift and abandoned, but quito new and ecuworthy, and 
unscnlhod by fire, containing n few oars nnd boiiio vegetables. 
As a boat of this description would nover have boon abandoned 
unless tho parties in her hod found refuge in bet.er quarters, I 
am of opinion that a portion, if not the whole of tho crow and 
passengers of this unfortunate vessel havo escaped; und this 
opinion is strengthened by tho fineness of the weather, the smooth 
water, and the nuiubor of ships thut were passing in nil direc- 
tions during the previous duy, both from und towards tho scene 
of this mclnnelioly disaster. 
I have tho honour to ho, Sir, 
Your most obedient liuinblo servant, 
(Signed) 8. T. Cabneoib, CuptaiD. 
II.M. steam frigato Tribune, nteca, lot. 42.20 N., long. 10 KR w 
Juno 5th, 1854. 
Sir, — In continuation of my letter of the 2nd instant, reporting 
the loss of tho Europa transport by fire — 
I lvivo now tho honour to acquaint you that on the morning 0 f 
the 4th, when about 120 miles north-west from Capo Fioisterre 
we hud the pleasure of receiving from tho British brig Clemanthe' 
Lieutenant Black (Admiralty agent), the mnstor, two of the crew' 
and eight privates of tho 1st Dragoons, in tho Europa, nnd latter 
in tho day, from tho Prussian scliooaor Konnet Kingsford, und 
theBritisn Imrquo Marnnun, three officers, thirty-five non-com- 
missioned officers and privates, one servant and two women, with 
four, officers and twonty-oiglit seamen, belonging to ths Europa- 
in all eighty-livc, of whom seventy-Bevon are on hoard this ship 
und eight on hoard tho Sir Robert Sale transport. 
I regret to add, that of tho number originally embarked in 
the Europa twenty-one hnvo doubtlessly perished; two officers 
(Lieutenant-Colonol Moore and Veterinary Surgeon Kelly) B ro 
amongst the missing, and six non-commissioned officers, ton pri- 
vates, two of the ship’s compuny, ond one woman, have shared 
the same fate. 
The greater number of theso were washed away from tho 
wreck of the masts, to which they had clung, but 'Lieutenant 
Colonel Moore remained nt his post to the last ; and having 
repeatedly declined to leave the burning vessel until all hi 8 men 
had been safely removed, was at last driven into the mizen 
channels by the violence of the flames, and there unfortunately 
perished. 
From the concurrent testimony of those left ou tho burning 
wreck from 11.30 p.m. of the 81st ult., to 2.30 a.m. of the 1st, 
it would appear that the conduct of the master (Mr. Gardner) 
was marked by great coolness and intrepidity throughout these 
trying hours ; he was the last man to quit the wreck, and had 
his zealous eudeavours to maintain order and save life been ns 
ably seconded by his ship's company, there can be little doubt thut 
the list of casualties would have beeu reduced. 
It is my intention to disembark the crew and passengers at 
Gibraltar, provided the Governor sees no objection. 
Some of the soldiers are suffering from burns and bruises, 
hut none beyond the reach of ordinary medical treatment. 
I enclose lists of those who perished and those who survived 
the destruction of the Europa. 
I have the honour to be, Sir, 
Your most obedient humble servant,

BATTLE BETWEEN THE BRITISH AND CHINESE. 
{From Friday night's G aiette.) 
Her Majesty’s Steam-sloop Encounter. 
Slmnghae, April 4, 1854. 
Sir, — I have the honour to inform you, that a collision 
has taken place between the Imperialist’s Forces, before the 
city of Shmighae, and ourselves. 
2. At about 4 p.tn, on the 3d. instant, I observed tho 
signal for tlie small arm men of her Majesty’s ships to land, 
which was promptly obeyed. 
3. I shortly received a message from Commander the 
Honourable G. D. Kcano (who liapponcd to be on the spot 
at the time) thut the Imperial troops were firing on our 
people, and the ground was being hold by the marines of 
the main guard. 
4. I advanced with the Encounter's men to the spot indi- 
cated (tho race course), which is within the limits of our 
boundury, whore n sharp firing was being maintained on 
either side. 
5. Her Majesty’s Consul and Vice-Consul wore there ; 
and at the former’s requisition, I determined on at once
