TEE IX OF THE TIGER.

Accounts have been received from Vioc-Ad- mirnl Dundas,.Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterra- nean. stating that her Majesty's steam-frigate Tiger ran on shore on the 12th ult., near Odessa, durin a fog; that Captain Giifard, the clficers, and crew have been made prisoners, and that the fiignte has been burnt.

The followin is the re rt from the surgeon of the Tiger, 0 the kill and wounded :—

Capmin Gifiird, loss oflelt leg above the knee, wound of right leg, and various contu- sious; doing well. . 'anner, ordinary, laeerated wounds in the front of both thighs, gunpowder laceration and com uud fracture of little finger on right hand, and other contu- sions; doing well. harles Hood, boy, 2d Class.— is r lad is riddled with grape and canister s t, one of which has penetrated the abdomen. s also a severe compound laacture of the left leg. I entertain no hope of hie recovery. William Trainer, aged 38, gun- shot wound of left knee; amputation was performed on board, but he died, during the transit iron the shore to the town, of exhaus- tion. John Gifird, aged 18, midshipman.— Had both legs shot away; amputation was performed on board: from the shock to the

einorrhags, combined with exposure to the sun, and unattended on the beach, he died shortly after bein laudsd.”

The surgeon a ds that every possible atten-

' tion that humanity can suggest, as been shown by the authorities at Odessa, and the survivors are under his own special care.

The Tiger got ashore in a hen fog, a d used all elorts to thcr of, by growing all her guns overboa , and dischargin her amu- nition into her boat. When the fog cleared of. she found herself about five miles from Odessa, under the telegraph; and a large bod of 9000 men with 15 ns,were already assembhed These commence a fire, and very soon a shot carried of poor Captain Gifiiird’s leg, and another killed his nephew, a inidshipman, by his side. The captain, seein his hopeless position, struck his flag, and t e enem took all the crew prisoners. Just before {saving the ship, the Niger and Vesuvius hove in sight, when the Russians demanded they should be quick in ttin on shore, threatening to tire on them i the elayed longer. The two stea- mers, seeing t e enemy assembled in numbers, began tothrow shell amen them, when the Russians d tne Britis in front, and the steamers discontinued the fire. The prisoners were tiieu marched to Odessa Captain Giifard was placed in the Governor’s house, and treat- ed with the ntest kindness. The Russians refuse to em ange prisoners, but allow every libert to the captives, who have been also per- mit to write to their friends, and were visited under a ting of truce, by the first lieute- nant of the Vesuvius.

We hear from the fleet, that Captain Giiliird shot the Greek pilot dead, the moment the vessel ran on . be English prisoners have been allowed to send letters.

We learn that the captain of the Tiger has been taken to the governor's house at Odessa, and cared for in every way. he captains of the Niger and Vesuvius were allowed to see the

risouers; and they m e a subscription of £l50ou board the two ships, for their com- rades. .

(hens the European Timer)

Marshal St. Amend and General Raglan re- turned to Constantino is on the 23rd ult., after having conferred wit Omar Pasha at Verna, and id a dying visit to Shumla, to inspect the Turkish army. Although it was at first given out that the allied army was instantly to march to Adrianople, common sense seems slowly to enlighten our contemporaries. Nevertheless, the Constilulionns this week published their " plan of the campaign," in which it was gravely an- nounced that the Anglo-French army was not only to march to Adriauople, but to go on to Widdin! and, in one quarter, this was pro- nounced to be the most rational plan of the campaign yrs.tdpropounded. The facts are as we all a ong p cted. Verna is plainly the first point to which the dilerent nerals will con- ver ' incs apolsan d set in motion his div sion. All the available French and En lsh trans rte were beingra idl laden, but on t s 29th a May they had not eft or Var- na. It was aid that one French steamer had

as on past Scutari, without etc pin , and no

oubt existed that a very consi srabis Anglo- Frencli force would be in V riia, forthwith, to march on‘ to Silistrie, and relieve that fortress.

ii meantime, Omar Pscha. now that he ilnds the Anglohsnch forces real] on the spot, will not, we trust, conidsr itau ougsr neces- m to cling to the line of the ilkau, merely aching on the defensive ; but will boldly advance towards the Darin rm a junction with the A: French Ofcourse, if trans- gvrvtsare not at head to convey all btlilf troo

the favorite of the Czar, wus shot in the eye, and was killed on the spot. General Sylvan was killed. Again, at Turnu, the Turks surprised the Russians, and only a small remnant of the enemy escaped the sword, and lied to left bank of the Alouta. We know Vel’ |I"l1‘0f what is going on in tho Dobrudschn-. — once our men urs at \’urns. We 81'8" M" "0 further min ivings about Russian aggression. We cannot elicvc that the Ruuians will risk a general battle on the right bank of the Dell- ube, but they must either do this, or beat ll rc- treat as last as they can. The Austriuiis are hanging on the left of the Russians, and ini- mensc uriiiics line the whole frontiers of Trait- sylvania and Moldavia. The 'l‘urks have now ion of Lesser Wallsehia : and if the Allied Ariiiies make a junction speedily the position of the Russians seems to our non-professional jud mcnt uiost iinuiiiicnt, if not desperate. No don t, our army will at first sufi‘er much for want of beefiind other supplies, but being iiius- ters of the sea provisions will soon be plentiful enough. It is very evident that Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord 1 aglan linvc set to work with a right good will; and as the cavalry cannot be for oil‘, we hope an effective urmy of at least 60,000 men wi I take the field. and have a re- scrvo of 30,000 to proceed to Sebnstopol, and see what is to he done in that uarter. We see that Lord Howden has resigns his post at Ma- drid, and, like an ol war-horse, sniflii the trumpet sound, and must join the fray. An iiii orlaut comniund has been olfei-ed to his lordship (better known as General Cradock), and it is believed he has accepted it. The news from the Asiatic frontier is highly satisfactory. The Rusiuns have abandoned Onurgeti. and have retired towards Kutais. The (ieorgians imincdiatel ' informed the Turks of this inovc- ment,nnd elim l'.iclm took possion of0zur ti. it will, no doubt, be discovered shortly that Schainyl lives it long way inland, with Russian

inland stations intervening between him and the Black Sea coast, so that communication w't V that renowned chief is difiiciilt. As regardsl the Greek alhiir, it iiiuy be doomed to be nt an end, but must keep a watchful eye upon King ' Otho, or he will soon break outugain into some act of trciichcry or insubordinntion. Wciiro glad to hear that the risoners of-war captured by the Russians mi card the Tiger are well treated. Captain (lilisrd is doing well, and. speaks well of his captors. \Ve see by an uc- l count from .\lultii that he is reported to have . shot the Greek pilot dead the inoiucct the vessel ran on shore. How was this? “Was there any suspicion of trenclicry. or was it an cbulition of sudden anger’ We trustin every point of view that the story is false. \Vitli regard to the latest news from the Danube, we should only deccivc our readers if we pretended to report anythin authentic. We have various state ments of the same story ; but all we reall know at present is, that Silistria holds out ; t not the Russians have failed to take it by storm, and that the allies are moving towards 'arna, in rent, force, to take a position on the line of the ihtnubc. There is no up rent confirmation of the news of the evacuation of Ann and the reduction of the fortress of ltedout l\uleh, but we are by no means sure but that it is a rope-

tition of the previous report. There has been a partial change of the Turkish Ministry, l‘i8ll0' ‘ inet Kepresli Pacha has become Grand Vizicr, but the change has no political importance. Our own impression still, is, from a perusal of the latest news from Cousuntinoplc, that about 70,000 of the An vlo-Frcncli forces will find their way to Vurnu an the line of the Danube, leav- in a force of about 30,000 to be directed to Sc nstapol. . As regards the news from the Baltic, we are literally without a single fact of importance, subsequent to the exploit at Hango Point, which we recorded last week. From all we learn, both the north and south coast of the Gulf of Finland is strictly invested by divisions of Sir Charles Nitpicr's squadrons, and each division is advancing so as to a proach Croiistadt, but as respects llclsingfors and Sveuborg we have no information, and we suppose these fortres- ses will be lookodaftcr before that of Cronstsdt. Very great alarm prevails at St. Petersburg. Various plans of defence are s ken of to resist any dcceut upon the capital, 11 l which involves the for one conclusion of the possible fall of Cronsta t. The relative attitude of Austria and Prussia continues the same. It is very evident that the relations between Russia and Austria have been cooling for some time, but we are very confident that both France and England are satisfied with the declarations made by the cabinet of Vienna. Messcn ers are continually passing to Stockholm, and tussian influence is

eatly on the wane in the Swedish court. The

in of Porto l is on it visit to the Queen, at Buc ingham alace, so thatour influence in the Peninsula is direct and immediate. We hardly know whether to believe the reported tale of successes by the Greek insurgents in Thessaly , if they are true, they will have a fatal infiuencc over the future destiny of King Otho The strong presumption is that the whole story is an invention.

A PEEP INTO ANAPA, AND A (‘.AP'I'l7Bl'i_ On board H. M. S. Ghclengik Bay, May 14.

The principal defences face the sea, and. the bat- teries, from their advantageous position on high clifi's, might prove very troubleeomehto ships.

With such a rrison, even though our s ips silenced the ttsries, they might laugh at us still, unless we had on board troops to land.

‘;',;_rIilin_gr on the AIuta—tIie Battle of SIalt'na— Dqfea! qf Ihc Russians.

On the 31st an engagement took place at Slatimt, on the frontier of Little Wallacbia. 'l‘|ic Russians, who occupied a favourable posi- tion with 2, msn and four guns, attacked the Turks. but the Turks, assuming the offen- sive, killed nearly 000 of them, and carried 00‘ their urtiller . From the date and locality assigned to tiis battle it must have been the sequel of that of rancoweni. he Russian force was at the latest date still falling back.

Russian Troops cut to pieces by the Cirrassiaris —Letters from the Black Sea state that the Russian garrisons of Tonap and Anakria, on the Abyssinian coast, having evacuated those forts, and being on their march to join the centre of the Russian army of the Caucasus, were encountered by ii body of Pircnssians, and citt in pieces.

(From the London Shippiiig Q Mercantile Gazette.) in referring in a former number May 3 to he expansion of our Trade in the East, an to the fact that the Empire of China is becoming every day more neccsible to European Commerce and influence, we said, that “ even the herme- tically sealed Empire of Ja n 'ves si sof animation, and promises, wit maiden mo esty, to entertain the urgent addresses of her Com- mercial suitors, if they will but allow her time for reflection." It is with much satisfac- tion. therefore. that we learn. through the mail 'ust arrived, that Japan is likely very soon to e thrown o n to the Commerce of the World. 'lho China Man’! of the 12th of April furnishes a detailed account of the operations of the United Suites’ squadron in those seas, under the coin- niand of Commodore Perry, to whose 'udicious and temperate conduct we ho bot Europe and Anierica will be indcbted for adding another great and almost unknown region to Commercial enterprise, and to social inter- COIIPSO. From time iiiimemorial, it has been the rnctice and policy of the Japanese Em ire, as it formerly was with China, to reset a l inter- course. civil or commercial, wit Europeans. Some little relaxation was made in favour of the llutch, but this indulgence was watched with extreme jcu.lousy,wliich sometimes amount- ed to apprehension, and occasionally it became so severe as to interrupt all commercial deal- ings ; while the despotic nature of the Govern- ment rendered remoustranco or 11 al useless. Notwithstanding all these dilliculties, suiiicieut to deter an ordinary mind, Commodore Plan has succeeded in entering into a Commercial treaty with the Japanese authorities.

Nothing is yet known of thc rccise terms of the treaty, but we shall be equally disappointed and surprised to learn that it is drawn up otherwise than in a spirit of liberality, or that it seeks any exclusive privile s or advantages for America which are denie to other nations. En land, above every other country, has a rig t to ex ct the most liberal treatment in a matter oft is kind. not only from the United States but from every other Commercial coun- try. She succeeded, at a heavy cost, in open- in China, which was as hermetically sealed- an% as intolerant as Japan is—to intercourse with the world without her walls. The use which England made of this advantage was as noble as it was judicious: China was pro- claimed open, so far as England could make it, to the unrestricted Commerce of the worl ; and the Colonies which she thlplght it advisable to establish there, were s free ports. England sought no exclusive privileges for her- sel , her Commerce or her Shipping; she evinced the true spirit of free-trade, which she had adopted as the national policy. m the enlightened Governor of the United States we cannot but éxpect equally liberal conduct.

Fortunately the Empire of Japan is sulhcisiit- ly extensive, and sutlciently pc ulous, to gatify t s most sanguine Commsrc I sxgctntione. It consists, as our readers know, of res prin- cipel islands, besides several smaller ones; the su rlicial extent of which is estimated at 80,-

square miles, and cookies a po tion of about 17,000,000. Such is the country and the people which have for ages been shut up within themselves, and comps veiy unknown to the rest of the world be and the coast outline. Of

a value and vs ety of the reductions of Japan it would be useless to s tempt an esti- mate, as it is at present, as we have said, ta-rs incognito; but we in well imagine that a country which can ntain so large a popg. lstion must be abundantly productive.
