"Onusss,"May l3.—To-day's news are that last night, during a heavy fog, the Engli_sh steamer Tiger ran erself aground at Cortazzi’s utor, so as to be almost entirely on the dry. As soon as this was discovered, some artillery was sent there, and the steamer crip led. She struck, and her crew, I am told. 0 about 200 men, are 'ust now being brought in as risoners. The boat is, I understand, on fire. '1‘ rec other steamers are in sight and have made communi- cationt, the nature of which we do pot know. I have just seen the steamer; she is only 50 cos them the shore. The commander has he th his legs shot off.” _

The Vienna correspondent of the Times ea s, "The following particulars, from a good u- strian (non-Russian) source, have reached me relative to the loss of the Ti r. She got on a sand-bank when in pursuit o aRussian schoon- er, which ran into the quarantine r . The Russians fired into her with red-hot alls until she was completely helpless. The two steamers which came her assistance ‘ wpre obliged to keep ata distance, as the Russians ‘ha so_me

us of the very largest calibre, with which t oy fired with extreme precision.’ The Tiger was burnt almost down to the water. he Prm-e afiirms that the Russians fired at the steamer after she had hoisud a _white fiag and made signals of distress. ‘ In spite of a perfect shower of balls the crew went on shore, where they are treated as risoners of war.‘ Several ships of‘ the line an smaller vessels have just have in sight (on the 10th). The inhabitants of Odessa are in great co ternation. A flag of truce hasjust ii sent in.’ ”

We have more versions of the story of our lost ship the Ti r :— .

A letter Vienna the 20th instant, in the Cologne Gazette, afiirms that “an oflicial report" of the capture of the Tiger had reached that capital. The writer further states, that after the Tiger struck its flag, three merchant steauiers—-one of which was the Austrian Lloyd's post boat, with Russian soldiers on board, approached to take possession; that ii. great part of the crew jumped overboard and were picked up by the two other English steamers which had come up; and that fire breakin out on board the Ti r, it was found impoesiglc to tow her into harfidur.

THE BOMBARDMENT or onzssa. Bimi. Y .—The Austrian Ou. Deulsche Post has the following letter from :—

“ People are in a state of eat anxiety. The troops are concentrated in a ldirections. It is said the Eu lish have sent afiag of truce to demand the elivery of their contrymen, taken from the Tiger; whereupon ‘the reply was, they might come and fetch them if they could. Many tremble for fear cf_anotber bombardment, and yet are afraid to exhibit fear."

Arncx on Ssnssroroi..—A despatch from Constantinople of the 10th announces that Sebasto i has been cannonaded by the com- bined eets with guns of long ran , witha view to destroy the advanced workso the port.

PI.l’AlA'l'lONI son as-rscsnro Snass-rcro:..—The ’1‘i'mes Paris corres ndent writes, “I am as- sured tint 80 pieces of artillery, of lar cali- bre and of tremendous wer, wereto em- barked at Toulon and rseilles. They are said to be intended for Sebastopol It now seems certain that the plan of a combined stuck by sea and land on that celebrated fortress and the Crimea has been decided upon, and that, in fact, we may ex t to heat. at s sh_ort interval from each_ other, news of something very im rtant taking place in the Baltic an the Blue Sea. The steamer Dauphin had ar- rived at Marseilles from the Levant, and it is said she is the bearer of _despatches, of which nothing has as yet _ transpired, except that the news t ey contain is favoura le."

Pass or Orxssrioxs IN -rin: BLACK Sus.—A despatch from Marseilles states that arrange- ments had been made at Constantinople or embarking the whole English army in twenty- four hours.

The Paris correspondent of Times ives the following as the plan of operations sai to have been determined upon, namely, to land 30,000 men in the Crimea, while the fieet will attack and destroy Scbastapol, the Anglo-French fleets then to leave the Turco-E ptian squadron in the Black Sea, and Cronsta t to be attacked by the whole overwhelming forces of the combined

cete.

Admiral Hamelin has re nested that troops should be at once forward to the Black Sea, and the arrangements, respecting the dsepatch of the English contingent to some point known at Constantinople on the 15th, gives a certain degree of probability to the above.

THE BALTIC. Corsunsunx, May 12. The Swedish post steamer Svenska Lejonct has no down in Ystad harbour, from the injuries it received in the late storm. Stockholm vessel, laden with salt, attem t- ed to break the blockade and enter R‘ . n being hailed she neglected the signals and refused to lie by, so a cannon-ball smashed her stern. She iinmediatcl returnedto Stockholm. Iler owners were impu ent enough to demand compensation. The nglish embassy ve y properly told them tothank their store that matters were no worse.

THE Bsirisu Fixer wi-rum rumrr iuus or Cnoi~'s'rsn'r.—Letters from St Petersburg, dated the 9th inst., state that the British fleet had been seen within 25 to 30 miles of Cronstadt, lap: had captured a number of Russian gun ts.

CAPTURE OF A PRIZE IN SIGHT OF THE GUNS OF RIGA.

Muss, Arsii. l2.—The Amphion, screw, 34 ns, Capt. A. C. Key, in compan with her §ilajesty’s ship Cruiser, 15, screw, mmander the Hon. A. Douglas, entered the Gulf of Riga, A ril 27, and steamed along the southern shore o the bay in search of Russian merchant- men. From information received from several Dutch and American ships boarded during the day, we heard that there were several vessels blocked in the ice outside Ri Roads, waiting for the breakin up in order to enter the Dwina. At daylight of t a 28th ice was reported by the look-out at the mast-head. Darin the morn- ing several detnched masses floated y. In the afternoon we were nearly surrounded by ice. The whole extent of the bay skirting the horizon appear to be covered by an immense field of'_ice, varying in thickness from one to six inches, and covered b last wintei_-’s snow. Here and there it had roken, leaving open channels between. Several ships were seen in the distance, lying in the ice; one of them, which a peared to be a lar barque had hoisted ussian colours, and afterwar s we saw two tu steaming out to its assistance, but it seemed that the paddle-wheels were un- able to penetrate the ice,_aud seeiii us bearing down upon them, stesmin throng all, they decam d, leavin behind t e great number of their cats. Uii ortunately we were at too great distance to iuterce t them, and they es- caped in shore into sba ow water, where we could not follow, and luckily for them out of ran of our guns. e turned our attention to e barque, which is _completely embedded in a large field of tbi ice, almost broadside on. We steamed full power direct for it, cut- ting and crushing the co in our rogress by the force of the screw. Alter slit e maneuv- rin , we made acomplete passage for our rise whcih we towed out in triumph. We ound she was the Russian ue Caro Portu l to Riga, laden w th salt.

They would ave manned the first river steamer they could have t, and given them battle.

Vicrosr nr sis Cassius NAPIII.--1.500 Rus- HAN Psisoxxss rsxuv.-—News has arrived that the castle of Gustafshaven. south of Hango, and at the entrance of the Gulf of Finland, has been destroyed, and that 1,500 Russians have been taken risoners. The fort of Gustafshavon is situa in the island of Hango. near the port of that name. The island on which there is a lighthouse,hss a very dee port,sheltered by the rocks and the high lan s of the Cape. Cape Hango is a ver im rtant military'position, commanding theentrance to the Gulf 0 Finland and the pass leading to the Archipelago ofAbo. The object of Sir Charles Napier and his coed- jutor is ain. The intend to destroy the for- tresses right and le tas they sail up the ulf, to demolish the Russian gun- which ave been crammed in the inner channel, on the Sweoborg side, and thus etc by step concen- trate the force of the combin fleets on the de- struction of tho fortifications of Cronstudt.

St. Prrxnssuuo, May 9.—Tbe Augsbury Ga- zette says that the Russian fieot is ready for action at Cronstadt, and nearl 10,000 men

rrison the forts. On the islan lying west of t a fortress, tents are itchcd, where troops find shelter, and all t e coast swarms with soldiers, mostl of the Guards. They are still working at aul’s Fort. The lower orders here, went to Cronstadt as usual during their Eastern holidays. There they s rted in swings and whirligigs, their attention being divided between eating and drinking, findin time to hurrah the imperial family, who ehowe themselves to the multitude there.

We find the following in the Praise of Vienna: —" We have received accounts from Odessa relu- iive to the recent events, and commumcsle them to our readers wilhoutchsnging anything. The inhabitants of Odessa are now in the greatest un- essiness. The Russian batteries have csnnonsded an English war steamer which on her return from the mouths of the Sulina was driven by stress of weather into the rosdslead of Odessa. Some say it was the Tiger, others the Niger ; and one ver- sion is that it was the Retribution. This vessel made signals of dislress and hoisted the white flag, but the Russians paid no attention to it, and fired red hot shot at her till she caught fire. Notwith- standing the shower of balls, the vessel approach- ed the shcre, and the crew were able to land, The vessel is now in the port of Odessa in a very bad condition, and the crew are prisoners of war. Several line-ofbsttls ships and corvelies of the combined fleets have shown themselvgg before ihg port. The inhabitants are in great slsrm, not knowing what may happen. At the momenil am writing, a vessel with a flag of truce is approach- in}! tlic ori. '

The iva..d.«m of the 20th says that the letlers from Lemberg fully confirm the intelligence of a renewed bombardment 0 doses. The following details are added:—The Tiger, with l6 um, and 250 men on board, stranded in the vicinity of the villa Conan, and was immediately fired upon from the battery erected at this point, and by several gun boats. On the following day two En- glish men of war arrived on the spot, and at once opened fire on the said battery. The second letter speaks of seven En lish slesmars having demand- ed the rcslitution of the shi and the imprisoned crew, which being refuse , they proceeded to bombard the town of Odessa. When this letter was posted the firing had already lasted six hours, and still continued.

In the Black Sea it hoisted English colours, and got close into Sebastopol, where it hoisted American colours, and got safel with its cargo into the port.

Ir there was everaiirne when it beheved you

your franchise, it isthe present. Iisrlil There are two parties in the field, both professing to have the same end in view, both smeriing that to secure to you and yours, the blessings and advantages of Responsible Government, is the end and aim of the desires and exertions of beds. And it is after a manner true. But then comes the question: what is Responsible Government? Mr. Palmer and his associates say that it is having an Executive Council formed d‘ pen- sous chosen by the majority of Iembevs ofthe Repru. seutatlves of the People, to when the latter have associated one, two, or more of the other branch of the Legislature. without whose consent and concur- reuce, so set as the set of the Geversnisut. An Executive Council, who, being in the confidence of the majority of the People, will lint control ova the administration of the

sfihs of the Island, aad will so exercise it, that it uisy truly be said, that the people, in managing their own affairs, govern themselves. And in order that 3 Council may be induced to give their sole and stseutleute Ihewsule ofthe people, and

Hence the necessity of twiidiug or guasflug against an evil of such magnitude, all how eau lllh better be IDIO- ihss by excluding such men from diusiioss, when they are daily, hourly exposed to temptation? This is one sort, and as we say, the only true sort of Ree- ponslble Government, and the one best adapted to the circumstances of Prince Edward Island The opposite party say there can be no true Res- ponsible Gcverumeut, without what they call Depart- meaisl Government, though there is not what can, with justice. be termed a department in the Govern-

Departments, the ofliecs of Treasurer, Excise Oflcer, Registrar of Deeds, Queen's Printer. &c., &c., &c., or. in other words, they want the license of Assembly and Executive and Legislative Councils to be filled as much as possible, with the dependents of theGov¢a- meat; with men who, having oflcee to loss, can be kept under control; who, having the same stake at hazard," will pull together. and be unanimous. and who, when once they form a majority, can sway the country as they please. rule it, as they themselves my, " with a rod of iron." And this too is liurnsu nature, for it is the natural propensity of petty officers to tyisnnlxa over these beneath their away. and the same disposition makes them crouch to those who are immediately above them. Hence their ineiim that the Lieut. Governor can do no wrong, that he is invested with unlimited exercise of the Queen's Prerogative. That he can udjeurn, pro- regue and dissolve the House of Assembly, at his more will sad pleasure; that though, according to the principles of Responsible Government, as under- stood in England. and in the surrounding Colonies of Canada, Nova Smile and New Brunswick, lie is bound on all occasions, to lake the advice of his Executive Council; or in other words, consult the wishes of the people, who are, in this respect, repre- sented by the Executive Council, having been appointed by the Representatives of the people; yet»
