An e lanation was demanded of‘ General Osten-See en, the Military Governor , as to reason for outraglng a flag of trace always held sacred by all nations, pre- tending to civilisation. This demand was also sent in under a flag of trues, but the boat when backed by the fleets was not molested. The General returned an unsatilfactory and untrue answer, declaring that he did not fire u ii the boat, but upon the Furious, which, not eeding customary signals, was steaming up the bay for the purpose of examining it, whereas she was motionless. U this the Admirals sent in a demand for the elivery of all the shipping in the port, and, in the event of no answer arriving before sunset on the 21st, declared that they would punish this outrage on the law of nations. 0 the morning of the 22d, the steamers of the combined fleets attacked the Imperial Mole at Odessa, and during the day coin letely destroyed it, and most of the (Rus- sian shipping withinin it. Here it is necessar to endeavour to give the reader some idea of It has often been comps in neral aspect to Brighton, but the line of c ' s on which the town stands has a slight curve inwards, forinin a shallow bay, with a radius of some three m as. These cliffs face the north-east, and towards the north, they sink into low sandy mounds and fiat end- less steppes. Stretching out from below them, at the‘ lower or south-easterly end of the town, runs a long fortified mole, at the end of which is a lighthouse. This is called the Quarantine Mole, and shelters a great crowd of ships of all nations. Their crews are never rmit d to into the town, but are strictly imprisoned within a small walled-in and strictly- uiirded quarantine district at the foot of the cli s, even if they should happen to be detained there for six months at a time. Under the pretence of preserving themselves from disease, the Rus- sians have made the quarantine a hateful political tyranny. At the time of our visit this mercantile prison of all nations, was ver crowded, an on the morning of the 22d, eac had her colours at the mast-head, as if ' for suceour and rotesting against cannon-balls intended for t e Russians. The attacking force had orders to give this male as wide a berth as possible, in order to be out of reac of its fire. and so to avoid the necessity of returning the fire and injuring any of the neutrals within. The following was the attack- ing force :—(Frencli), Mogador, Vauban, Des- cartes, Colon; (En ish), Sampson, Terrible, Tiger, Rdribution, rious, and a detatehment of rocket-boats, under Commander Dixon. The Senspariel and Highflyer acted as a reserve. This force p to another similar mole, at _the northern extremity of the elifi's, called the Imperial Mela, enclosin a mass of Russian shi of all sorts, and sonic srge stores or bar- rac s. Both moles had a formidable array of embrasures, and there was a better between them at the foot of the cliffs, but, as far as we could learn, they were badly off for guns. We coun over embrasures. The steamers had orders to goes far as possible in-shore, so as to rake and destrody the Imperial Mole and shipping, but to avoi of the town or u n the shipping in the rantiuethfloslzn bopt M min tea to J‘ l , e‘ nudin' -inmost nt .

When within about 2,000 yards each steamer delivered the fire of her enormous uns, then wheeled round in a circle of about a lfa mile in diameter, each taking up‘ the re n succession. Thus they kept w seling and twisting about like so many waluers, without ever touching or getting into scrapes. The guns in the mole answered stea- dily, nnd in the course of an hour the Vauhan came towards the fleets on fire from red hot shot, and riddled in several places. Happily fire was t under, and she returned to her For a ong time the terrific fire from the steamers did not silence the mole.

COSITANTINOPLI, Ar-sir. 27.—The tsrrrible has 'ust arrived with startling news. Odes has on attacked, the Imperial Mole and Ma- gazine blown up, and a number of Russian shi s of war destro ed. The following is a dc- tai ed account, derived from an officer on board the Tcrrible.—-At five o'clock on the morning of the 22d of April, the signal was made for tho steamers to commence an attack on the Imperial Mole, and the fortifications in its nei hbourhood. Orders were iven not to fire at t e Partique Mole, where t e Brittish shi pin were anchored, and as much as possib e to a stain from wanton destruction of private ropcrty. The action continued about two iours without cessation, but without any do- cided success. The ussian embrasures were much knocked about, and several of their guns silenced. At 7 a. in the second division receiv- ed the signal to smnd in. It consisted of the Terrible, Ti or Retribution, and three French steamers. he Retribution led the way, closely followed by the other steamers. The Russians had laid down a “ lump " that is, an old vessel was anchored to mark the distance their guns would carry. The allied division wont within this mark, and therefore exposed themselves to loss from the shot of the eneni . At first how- ever, their shot did not reac our ships, al- thou h they suffered severely under our fire. The Terrible stood further in than the rest, and commenced firing red-liot shot. After a time a loud ex losion was heard. The Imperial mu- gazine ind been blown up by a shot from the lerriblc, and ii great part of the mole on which it stood was rent in pieces by the violence of the explosion. This relieved the Anglo-French squadron from their most formidable op orient, the battery on the Inipeial Mole. The ' erriblc continued to fire red hotshot. A Russian fri- gate in the harbor took fire, burnt to the wu- ter’s ed e, and blew up. Two new fi-igates on the stoc s were soon in flames, and from twenty to thirty mcrchantmen, and it is believed soiue smaller vessels of war, were soon sunk or burnt. oh of the vessels which remained out of ac- tion had sent a rocket boat, firin 2-l-pound rockets, and those caused terrible estruction. The dockyard was the chief object of these missiles, and it was soon in mes. e sea- men of the Terrible, which remained on the spot till the following Tuesday, declare that it burnt for two days and two nights, and this vast collection of naval stores must have been totally destro ed. When the Imperial Mole blew up, the eet gave three cheers-—thc French commencing. Signals were then made to stand in further, and continue the attack. At this moment the batteries on the Upper or Pi-atiquc Mole, near which the English ships were an- chored, opened fire; and according to the ac- counts I received, the Eu lish sailors could not be prevented from returning the fire. The bat- teries suffered severely, but were not silenced. In the meantime the rocket boats had set on fire the lower part of the town. This is the most melancholy part of the transaction. whole of this part of the city is destroyed. fact, less than half of what was once Odessa now remains. Factories, warehouses, and shops were involved in a common destruction. half past five p. m., when the action had lasted 12; hours, the signal of recall was made. '[‘he action ceased ; the Terrible having lost two men killed and five wounded, the Re- tribution thrce, and the Sampson five wounded. These were all the casualties that I was able toascertein. Unless the Russians escaped from their burning fri te before its explosion, their loss must have on terrific in this one spot. All attempts, however, to estimate the number of their killed and wounded must be mere guess work. As the Terrible was the most distin- guished in this action she was received with all honors on pasing the eet. Each ship cheered her as she steemedfipust on her way to the Bosphorus. She has su cred much in per- sonal appearance. ller ddle—boxcs are ii good deal knocked about, and she line 12 shot in her bull. Capt. M‘Clevery remained on the paddlebox all the time, and narrowly escaped a shot. The fleets were to leave for Scbasta ol immediately. The Admirals, before the action dessa, had sent in a small French stcainer with a flag of truce, but the Russians sent out a boat to forbid its entrance. ‘ >1‘ i--.— no OF TIIII TROOPS AT GALLIPOLI. GALLIPOLI, Assn. ‘2~f—'l‘he wind, which for the last fortnight has been blowing from the north, has at last veered about,‘ and now comes from the south, which enables a considerable number of vessels of every description, which were svopped at the entrance of lhe Dardunellcs, to pass the Strait, and advance lownrds Consula- Iinopel. Every hour brings in vessels laden wiili men, horses, stores, provisions, and ammuuirion. This part is quite encumbered, and it is almost impossible for lhe two armies to suflice l'or all the lsbmrrs of landing. Coal, which lisd begun is he exceedingly scarce, is now abundant enough for lhe steamers to lake in their supply. sier, however, is not very plentiful ; and the want of- it was severely felt a few days back on a very im- perlsnt occasion, which might have been sltsnd- .sd with disastrous consequences. On Easter Sunday, whilst the Greek population was occupi- ed wiih celebrnlin ivios service. a fire broke out in a house ease to the English llospllll. The inertness of the aulhorilies on lhe occasion was cxlrsordirmry, and l have not the slightest. doubt that the fire would have been prmilleed to burn on, or Lm out of itself, as the one might have been, had not the soldiers of the two armies exerted lhcuise vcs and endeavoured to gel the flames under. But what difiicully there wsslo gel the necessary supply of water! Two chains of men were established from tho public foun- tains, to pass the buckets no lo the burning houses, for lhe fire soon spread to others, and it was not unlil efler four or five hours exertions that the flames could be not under. The indiffer- ence of the population during the whole time, although the wind was blowing strongly towards lhe town, was quite sllliciing, and Ihis apathy on their part explains to a certain degree the dread- l'ul exieni oflhe conflagralions which like place in the East. In consequence of the danger with which this disssier menaccd lhe town, General Canrolierlllie next day gave orders to have the iospilsl and slorehouscs removed outside the town. and the angina-wring department is at pre- sent occupied in preparing the new buildings for there recepiiuns. The health of lhe iroop1con- tinues to be excellent, although several of lhe regiments suffered severely from the passage. The cold was last week so severe that several soldiers, and in particular the Turcos of Africa, had their feet frost-hitlen. The name of Turcos has been adopted as the term applicable to the native soldiers of every shade of colour coming from Algeria. A regiment has been formed from two battalions ul Ihese men, whose uniform, like Ilizil of lhe Zouaves, is a light blue. The arrival of these men produced ii great effect : and, in feel, it was impossible to behold this corps, compose of every shade of complexion, from the sable of lhe negro of Shara to the dead while of the Kubyle, without being struck with surprise, for all appeared alike picturesque and barbarous Still, this corps marked its entrance iiilo the port ofGiillipoli by a lilile act which belokened real politeness. VVhcn lheir vessels approached near enough for them to distinguish the Euglisli sol- diery, their band struck up “ God save the Queen,” in first-role style, and the men on shore responded lolhe call with three hearty cheers. The grelest fraternity continues Io prevail amongst the men, whether French or English ; and some- times an exchange of politeness may be witnessed at the wine shop or lhe csfc. llut no excesses take place. The most I ever saw in lhe way of cccenlricit was an exchange of hats by the Eng- lish sailors for the lurhnns of lhe Zousves, and lhe caps of lhe English soldiers for the fez oflhe Arabs. 'l'he great works for forlifying the heights of Bouilials are advancing with rapidity. Not. less than 0,000 men are at work every day, roui six in the morning to five in the evening. We hid the other day here some singers from Genes, who gave ii concert of liiilian music The only pianoforlo that Gallipoli possesses was called into requisition on the occasion, and anything more out of luiiel never heard. flow-ever,lhe concert went bravely on. and the adventurous article made a very excellent receipt.

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES. "he dispute between the governments of Spain and the l'nited States, relative to the seizure of the mark Warrior by the authorities at Cuba, is assuming it very serious aspect. The Auicrican Miiiistcr at .\Iu.drid, Mr. Soule, has made demands nud used language which, to say the leastof t|ieiu,urc most extraordinary, and a feeling seems to be entertained in many quarters, that the United States wish to fasten a wolf and lamb quarrel on Spain, and that designs on Cuba are at the bottom of the very abrupt measures of Mr. Soule. It would ap- pear that the notes interchanged up to the 20th April, between Mr. Souls and the Spanish govorninent are live in number. A correspond-~ ent of the Lomlon Morning Chronicle gives the following oiitlino of these documents :- ‘ ule‘s first note contained the demand for a pecuniary indemnity of $300,000, the disuiissul of (ion. Pczuela and all other officials who lind taken part in the seizure of the Black Warrior ; and that full powers should be given to the authorities of‘ Cu to settle future questions of the kind without having torefcr them to the Government at Madrid. 'l‘o this note Senor Calderon de la Barca replied that it would be very difficult to entertain the last point, inasmuch as its concession would be to change the whole s stem of Spanish colonial licy; and that, w th ros ct to to the other dosiuands of the United States, the Spanish Go- vernment could not enter upon them at present, since they had not received the ofiicial dis- patches from the Ca tain General of Cuba on the subject. Mr. ule replied in a note couched in a stron age than the first one. He insisted, am to d—-and quoted the Madrid Gazette, in which the receipt of’ dis- patches from the Captain General of Cuba was acknowledged--that the S uish Government must be in recei tof the dis tches referred to; and coin lain strongly t at s-"..;erfuges of this kin were always resorted to at Madrid, while at Cuba the settlement of questions was always delayed ‘on the pretext that the Captain- General was without instructions. Mr. Soule gave the Spanish Government forty-eight hours to reply, as he should dispatch his special messenger, Mr. Winslow, at the expiration pf that term. Sr. Calderon de la Barca replied in a very stron note, which was ado ted ata Council of inisters held on the su ject. It adhered to the former note, and stated that the Government considered the course pursued by Mr. Souls as insulting, and that they would not submit to insult from any foreign Minister. To this Mr. Soule replied that it had been far from his intention to offer any insult, but merely to state the facts of the case as he be- lieved them to have occurred. In this state the matter stands here; and it remains to be seen what will be done at Washington when the special messenger arrives there. I believe that he sure entertained that Mr. Cruinpton, the British Envoy at Washington, may be able to act the part of friendly mediator in the matter. NEW BRUNSWICK.

E7 ,, _n.Ais‘zAlir_i)"s GAZETTE. Wednesday, Kay 31, 1854. Tris blow that would put an end to Responsible or Self Government in Prince Edward Island, has been struck. The Lt. Governor has issued on his own. in opposilion to constitutional respcnsihiliiy, the Write for a new Election. We will devote a little time to the enquiry, as to whether we have a remedy for this infraction of the Constitution, and where it is to be sought. Whenever there are just grounds of complaint against any of the Officers of the Crown, in the Colonies, not cognizablo by lhe Laws ofsucli Colo- uies, the only proper and regular mode of obtaining redress, is, by pslilionmg her Miijesly in Council. ’l‘l.o parties uni not, however, heard there; but the whole mailer is referred in the Jmhcial Committee Q) the Privy Council, who, after having been alleuded by Counsel on both sides, riiuke up their minds as to how they should advise her Msjssly to act in the matter. This decision, though in the form of an advice, is final, being adopted by the Queen in Council, asamuuer of course. This Court is the highest for learning, talent Ind integrity in the realm; being composed of not only the first Judges in Law and Equity lhen in office, but of retired Chancellors, Judges, Lord Keepers, dic . being Privy Councillors, so that it is nllnosl impossible lo conceive a more uugusl and impartial tribunal. And it is before this, body that we conceive lhe people of Prince lrldward Island have a right to question the conduct of Sir Alexander lisuneruisn, and compel him to come into Courl, and show by what right he has, under pre- \ lanes of the exercise of the Queen's Preroglilivn, upon his own responsibility, departed froui the plain letter of the Queen's lnslrsclioiis. Nor is this Court bound up and feltered by rules of such stringency as opevsle frequently in other Courts, almost lo the denial of justice. Should he neglect to appear, the Court will proceed as parts. sad give their declslsa. It was before this jurisdiction that the people of Cape Breton were heard against the annexation I Neva Scolia.- There is a case before us as a pets tion from Guernsey, presented by the Balllfih and Janice of the Royal Court of Guernsey, colnplab. log of certain acts of the Lieutenant Governor of the: Island (Major William Napier) as “being inconsistent with the lights and privileges oflhe Royal Court, and contrary lo, and incompatible with, lhe constitution of lhe Island " We merely, for lhe present, men- tion this case as illustrative of the jurisdiction Court of the judicial committee of the Privy Council, and in show ihnt it is the filling irihsnsl for the trial of oflhe‘ an act so thoroughly inconsistent with the rights and . privileges of not only the Executive Council, but of the representatives, and consequently of the whole _ body of the people of Prince Edward Island, as the dissolution of its Assembly, conlrary lo the express advice and consent of the first mentioned body the Executive Council. The case of Kiellsy and'Curson, _ to which we lierelofore alluded, is in point, for lhsre the whole question turned upon the construction of lhe "Commission under the Great Seal, with accom- panying instructions from the Secretary of State for lhe Colonial Department." But we will let the Court ——lhrough the medium of Mr. Baron Parke—speak for itself. “ In order lo determine this question, snd.to ascer- tain whril the legal powers of the Assembly wrs, it is proper to consider first, under what circumstances it was coniuituled,und what was the legal origin of its powers. “ Newfouiidland is a settled, not a conquered colony, and lo such colony there is no doubt that the seniors from the niollier-country carried with them such portion ofils Common and Statute Law as was applicable to their new situation, and also the rights and iinniunilli-s of British sulijscls. ‘heir descend- anls have, on the one llllllll, the some laws, and lhe same riglils (unless llicy have been altered by Purliuiiieiil); and on the olhor hiind, the (‘town possesses the same prerogative and the some powers ofllovermmmt Iliat it does over its other suhjecls: nor hus it been dispulcd in Ilie argument before us, and, lherefore, we consider if as conceded, lhet lhe Sovereign had not merely lhe riglilofrippoinling such magistrates and cslublisliing such Corporations and Courts of Justice as he miglit do by Ilia Common Law at home, but also that of crenlin a local Le islulive Assemlily. with authority. subordinate indeed to lbs! of Purliniiioiit, but supreme wilhin lhe imils oflhe colony, for lhe government of its inha- ' 'l'liis ller power was exercised by lhe Crown in favour of the iriliubitniils of Jvtlqfolfllllfllilll in the year I832, by ii Commission under lho rest Seal, with nccompun "mg inslruclions from the Secretary ofslnle f'or lhelioloniril Department ; and the whole question resolves itself into lhis,—whether this power of adjudication upon, and cummiltiug for, a contempt, was bv virtue of the Commissiounud the instructions legally given lo the nswluegislalive Assem- bly of J\/‘ewfoundluml. For under these alone, can it hove any existence, there being no usage or custom to support the exercise ofriny power whatever. In order Io determine that question, we must first consider wlielhsr the Crown did in this case invest the local Legislature with such a privilege. If it did, ufurlher question would arise, whether it had a power to do so bylaw." This will serve to show, not only the estenl of lhe power, but the irnpurtialily and fcsrlessness willi which ll is exercised. So, in this case we take it, the whole ques- tion resolves itself in'.o lliis,—Whether the power of dissolving and calling General Assemblies at his will and pleasure was by virtue of lhe Couimission and Instructions legnlly given lo lhe Lieut. Governor of Prince Edward Island. No other question could arise, for from the very first moment of he exislence as ii Ilrilish Colony, the Island has been governed by virtue of a Coumiission and Instructions ivliicli have been from lime to lime allered and modified, and in later times considerably auguienlcd in favor oflhe people with a surrender ofseverul of the rights of the Crown. The circumstance that Responsible or Self Govern- ment lins, since the date of the Commissions and Instructions, been granted to the Island, will undoubt- edly linve much weight willi a Court constituted as this, in so much that if lliere were any doubt as In which side lhe scale ought to preponderale, it would iiuniodiulely lhrow lhe weight of its influence into that which represented the rights and liberties of the people—ilic very circumstance of granting self’ Government to lhe people necessarily carrying with it the utmost extension of their privileges tho! they were capable of bearing. We have pointed out lhe mode by which we are to look for redress. It will be for the People, or for such of them possessing knowledge, intelligence rind spirit, who can foresee‘ the injuries lhut rnsy arise to themselves and their decendanls, to any vvhelherlliey will suffer by their tame ncquicscsrice an usurpation of lhe ltuyril Authority to become in precedent, and lherehy sur- render lhe best and uiost valued advantage which llcsponsihle Government presenlsfl-lhe limitation of the power of lhe Governor wilhin known liinils, beyond which he lies no right to step, and to which if he presumes lo nilenipt lo lransgress, llicre will ways he a power of compelling him to return, Until this done, we may call ourselves Ilrilons, and may congrsluliile one nriolher upon being descendants of a race from which sprang Ilarnpdens, Sydneys and Russcls, but we shall be in reality the verisst slaves that ever crouched licnsslli the tyranny of lhe- meanest de.-pol.
