The Malacca, 14, screw-sloop, has arrived at Spitheael. Her engines have broken down in coming from Sheerness. The Rhadanianthus paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Master Commander John Belam, is now ready for sea, and only awaits the Diligence store-ship, being loaded with the ma chinery of the Falcon screw steam-sloop, to tow the Dili gence to Portsmouth. Two of the crew of the Rhada manthus got into trouble on Saturday last, through some quarrel with their sweethearts, as during the misunder standing one of them struck a police-constable, for which be was fined 5/. by the presiding magistrate, on Monday, and the other 11. for being riotous and creating a disturb ance. On the rest of the crew of the steam store-ship being made acquainted with the sentence on their mess mates, forty-six of the crew voluntarily subscribed a suffi cient sum to pay the fines, and prevent their messmates being sent to prison. The magistrate considerately reduced the fine of 51. to 3/. The Vivid, Master Commander Allen, went out of Portsmouth Harbour yesterday afternoon, and down to Cowes. THE COLOSSUS. The Colossus, 80, s3rew, Captain Spencer Robinson, was swung yesterday at Portsmouth, hulk and al], by Mr. Peter Wellington, attached to the Victory, to ascertain the deviation of her compass. The Colossus Iris completed outside painting, and looks a picture. She has only to re ceive her 70 days' consumption of bread, when she will be ready to leave the harbour. After she has received her powder and shell 3 at Spithead, her lower port sills will be about six feet six from the water's edge. The Colossus is flaw wishing to complete her complement with A.B.s only, having refused many ordinaries. Barring her orlop-deck dens she is a model fighting ship, and as handsome a vessel as ever sat upon the ocean ; her rig, moreover, is perfect, and commands the attention of all nautical men.

The :Ripon, Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, having on board his Highness the young Elhamee Pasha an d' suite, arrived on the 14th with the bulk of the India m t il, and on the same day the Valetta, from Marseille s. On getting ready for sea, it was discovered that som e thing was wrong with the machinery of the Ripon, .ar'hen the 'Valetta was ordered to proceed with her to Al a xandria, and in case of need to take her in tow. On her re ar,urn to Malta she will be overhauled and repaired, which m; ky probably detain her in port for two or three days. Oz her outward voyage nothing wrong was de tected; eb o made it in her usual time, and it was not till she was p reparing to continue her course to Alexandria that the d efect was made manifest. The cholera, although it has not made the rapid advance 1 v hick in other countries has proved so destructive, neverthel e.ss causes some disquietude. Cases are con stantly 11 ported as having appeared, and those in different parts of t he city and easels. In the' Dapicio and Hospital of Incurables it has been more seri ens in its results than in other places, necessi tating th e separaticn by removal of the inhabitants of those as Toms. Government has felt the necessity of adopting Precautionary measures, has called into active employ Va., sanitary committee, and has added to the number of the medical. staff for assistance to those who may be us /fortunately attacked. One measure of extreme usefulness has been adopted, viz., the converting into a temporary- hospital the Castellania, a beautiful and large building, till lately used as the court-house and police office.

Rear-Admiral Berkeley, First Naval Lord of the Adrni rally, accompanied by Sir Baldwin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy, and Mr. Watts, one of the assistant surveyors, arrived at Messrs. Penn's factory, Deptford, yesterday afternoon, at about three o'clock, where they were joined by Captain George Bohun Martin, C. 8., superintendent of Deptford yard ; two or three officers of the Ordnance, Mr. Millard, foreman of the carriage department at the Woolwich Arsenal ; Mr. Pitcher, shipbuilder ; and Mr. Matthews, of the firm of Messrs. Penn. They imme diately proceeded to inspect the new gun-boat launched from Mr. Pitcher's yard on Saturday last, and to deter mine the position of the guns. The party remained up wards of an hour on board, when it was arranged that her armament should Consist of two 8-inch guns placed amid ships, and to be available lore and aft. The Viper, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant- Commander Lodder, when brought down from Blackwell to Woolwich on Monday, was too late to be taken into the basin, but she was taken in to-day, in order to be made ready for sea as soon as possible. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE ROYAL ARSENAL AT WOOLWICH. In the month of March last the demand for the munitions of war for her Majesty's sea and land forces became so great that although the workmen in the laboratory department were employed from five o'clock in the morning until 11 at night, and many of them for the whole night during two nights in the week, and often on Sunday, it was found that they could not accomplish the orders given to them to execute within the required time. On the appointment of Captain Boxer, an artillery officer of great scientific acquirements, who had devoted much of his time to prac tical experiments connected with artillery, and invented the Boxer tubes now in general use in the rocket service, to be fire-master in the laboratory department, he turned his attention to the introduction of machinery as a means of performing much of the work that was at that time exe cuted by skilful mechanics with great exertion of mind, and muscle, and bone, and, although orertasked in every way, unable to accomplish all that required consequent on the declaration of war with Russia. Captain Boxer having matured his plans to a certain extent, with the concurrence of the Master-General and the Board of Ordnance, pro ceeded to Manchester and placed himself in communication with some of the most eminent machine makers in that large manufacturing town, and ordered machinery to be constructed according to his views of what was requisite and most eligible for executing the work of the fire depart. mut over which he had the control in the laboratory at Woolwich, and he has now had the satisfaction during the List two months of witnessing the machinery put up iu a temporary building appropriated for th purpose until the new fireproof and extensive range of buildings are ready for their reception ; executing every order with prorupti and despatch by the simple aid of unskilled labourers, or boys, with no mechanical knowledge, who can now pr.o duce, in many cases, five times the quantity of work in a day that had hitherto been accomplished by the most skil ful artisans by manual labour only, and thereby saving hundreds of pounds of value of m one y p er week, at the same time that all the work is executed with a correct. ness which it was never possible to obtain by the most capable workmen by mere manual labour and dependence upon the eye for justifying the various parts intended to he joined or worked into each other. The whole of the new machinery is set in motion by a steam engine, and tho whole conducted in a highly creditable manner for the benefit of the services. ROYAL MARINES. The Royal Marines aro assuredly to have a new dress, and we beg to suggest that nothing could be so appropriate as blue. We have heard that the colour of their dress is to be green. We hope not. Why not make the whole of the marines one body of " marine artillery" at once? Ar © they not deserving of this— and what could be more appro priate either in dress or name ? We would like also that the pipeclay belts be abolished, and black leather belts sub stituted, being a less likely mark fur an enemy. Whilst on this subject, why should not our loyal " jollies" be per mitted to cultivate the " moustache?" The teen desire it : and now it has been introduced into the army, surely the like advantage should be given to the marines and navy. ARRIVALS, &c., AT MALTA. MALTA, AUGUST 22. The following troop and store•ships have touched at this ;land for water : On the 14th the French steam-frigate Ajacio, from Toulon, with 11 sailors for the fleet- On the 17th, the Oronoque frigate, from Toulon, with 120 troops and 145 sailors. On the 18th, the Caffarelli frigate, from Toulon, with 100 sailors, 1 officer, and 2 artillerymen. Besides the above a great many small transports, with men and horses, have touched here. Among the English may be noted as having arrived— On the 12th, the Trent steamer, from Barcelona, with 298 mules. On the 15th, the Sea Nymph, and On the 17th, the Industry, both with stores and provi- sions for the troops at Varna. On the 18th inst. the 3ledway steamer, from Wool wich, with 211 men of the Royal Artillery, 30 horses, 5 artificers, and the following Officers :—Major Freese, com manding ; Lieutenants Guille, Keen, Turriano, and Broughton ; Staff-Sergeant W. Haughton, in charge; and Messrs. Doherty anti Gilbery, of the cominisaariat. The Medway male a prosperous voyage until she passed Gibraltar, when Asiatic ch le a broke out, caused by the immoderate quantities of fruit in waich the troops and crew indulged, and accelerated, perhaps, by the vessel being overcrowded. On her passag e from Gibraltar six soldiers and two of the crew died ; on the 19th two more died in the Lazaretto here, and on the 20th another death and three now cases Occurred. To-day there are two deaths and eight new attacks. Captain Boynton was at tacked, but after an intarview with Dr. Stewart, of the Naval Hospital, returned to his ship and put to sea at 7 30 p.m. of the 20th. Among men and officers left behind are about 160, but beyond the cases above reported their state of health is now improving. Th 3 coalheavers employed on board, after slight suffering, are doing well. On the 20th, arrived tho English serew.stemer, No. 121, Cottiogham, having on board Captain Weatherhead, of the 05th Regiment ; Lieutenants Neville and England ; Assistant-Surgeons Bayfield, Hamilton, Wolsely, and Carter; of these two are for the staff, and two to join the 20th Regiment. On the 20th the Progress came in laden with hay and oats for 'Varna. The captain, on hearing that cholera pre vailed, hoisted the quarantine flag, and refused communi cation with the island. When about to proceed on his voyage, 17 of the crow refused to weigh the anchor and struck work. They were taken before the magistrate, and, having been offered the choice of going on board or accept ing the consequences of a refusal, declined the former and eoetne4 to prefer the latter, Four, marked Al the SIR CHARLES NA PIER [FROAI LAST NIGHT'S GAZETT2.] ADMIRALT Y, AUG. 28.

I had intended to have brought this squadron through the Presto Channel to have shelled the north side of Bomarsund, but when the breaching batteries were placed he could not take that station without endangering the men in the French batteries; he, th ere f ore, very wisely took up a positio n so th a t ho had the Presto Tower and Bomarsund in a line, and did good service against the Presto Tower, which I afterwards examined. He was rather too close, being within range of the enemy's fire and received some dam a g e , b u t no one was -hurt.' 3. The ships I stationed to the southward were out of range of the enemy's guns, and received no d amage ; but the shot an d s h e ll s from the 10-inch guns, together with the fire from the four French mortars, which never missed, and the excellent fi r e f rom C ap t a i n P e lh am ' s battery, to gether with the preparations the enemy saw in progress, I presume expedited the surrender. 4. Had the enemy held out till the following morning, when the breaching battery, judiciously placed by the French Engineer (General Niel) withing 400 yards of the rear of the fort, and the ships the French and English Admirals intended to place iu their flank, the fortress would have been reduced to ashes. 11. I have the honour of enclosing lists of the whole British Force landed, and of casualties, together with a list of prisoners and guns captured, being no less than 112 mounted, 3 mortars, 7 field pieces, and 79 not mounted. 6. The Commissioners are now taking an account of the stores, and they are preparing plans not only of the bat teries in existence but of those in progress, which I shall send home as soon as possible. 7. This has been a most arduous and laborious service, and I have great reason to be satisfied with the great ex ertions of all the officers, seamen, and marines, and their orderly conduct. 8. General Jones speaks in the highest terms of the con duct of Colonel Graham and his marines. The thing of the seamen and marines and marine artillery, under Capt. Ramsay, was most precise ; he himself waa slightly wounded. 9.

At the moment when some of our contemporaries were reprobating in language most severe and unmea sured the indiscretion of those who advocated in Parlia ment or the press a rather more vigorous action on the part of our fleets in the Black Sea and the Baltic, and at the time we were told, on the authority of an admiral who had seen Cronstadt from the top of a lighthouse, that " the batteries were of solid granite, to attack which would be certain destruction, on the authority of Sir Charles Napier," we ventured to remark " Cronstadt is no doubt as strong as it can be made, but if it has any extraordinary look of solidity, such as to strike an observer of cannon-shot range at the top of a tower, it is to be suspected that such a show is false, that it is postiche, that the place is padded out, that it is an impostor of a fortress, or in one word, Russian, which expresses every mystification." Well, as far as Cronstadt is concerned, the accuracy of our guess remains to be verified. But we have had a specimen of Russian fortification at Bomarsund. The batteries there were also pronounced to be granite, and we were told to prepare for a siege of some duration, because the ground is extremely unfavourable for dig ging trenches and approaches ; and of course the line of-battle-ships, though ,carrying guns of larger range than the fortress, were not to be risked against the granite batteries. So the siege is commenced by land, and in due form. But how unlike is the attack to that upon Silistria I The form is very soon neglected—the French speedily grow tired of being methodical, and do the work allotted to them by assault—the English meanwhile have dragged six 32-pounders by main force over rocks and ploughed fields, without making a single zig-zag to a point whence the guns can be directed at pleasure against the towers or the principal fortification. Captain Pelham takes a line of his own, and places a ten-inch gun in a wholly irregul a r, but very annoying position. There is a moment when Sir Charles Napier has made up his mind to rush to certain destruction, but he is restrained, and the fleet merely throw a shot and shell every five minutes, by way of diversion for the Russians. Now mark the consequences, as related in a private letter published by the Standard. is Captain Pelham 's fire. Three or four shots set the great stones visibly elinttering as I could mark by a pockHt, telescope: one block then fell out, then another, then is third 4.fifitp. and these were followed by an avalanche of loose rubbish, just; as you see macadamising stones pour out from the end of a cart when the back-board is removed. Next as t 9 the face of the fort exposed to the distant fire of the ships, not one of which appears to have been damaged. The large blocks of granite that formed the face of tho fort, and which in appearance offered an immense resist ance, fell out in masses, and the rubble with which the wall was filled in, tumbled oat in heaps. The Edinburgh the Ajax, and the steamers fired at long range on the Bo marsund fortress, while at t o same time the Leopard at tacked .the fort of Presto, on the other side the narrow channel. At 12-30 a flag of truce was held out at an em brasure at Euruarsund, towards the fleet; a boat, with an officer, was sent on shore, and at about half-past twelve the governor surrendered. - - Now, supposing that Fort Menschikoff had been ex posed for a forenoon, not to a shot and shell every five minutes, but to the sustained fire from the broadsides of five or six line-of-battle ships, is there not a strong pro bability that the solid granite would have been " ma cadamised" into the loose blocks of rubble to which the Bomarsund forts were reduced by the employment of a twentieth part of the means supposed ? Possibly Fort Menschikoff might have surrendered as nimbly as Fort Presto himself. The construction of granite towers is in fact a return to a wholly obsolete method of fortification. When ar balests were superseded by artillery, it was speedily per ceived that stone walls could no longer be relied upon. The "gins and cracks of war," imperfect as they were in their infancy, produced a speedy revolution in the construction of fortified places. The lofty towers and hi g h walla of the castle disappeared, to be replaced by ,~~~uG~ [PRICE SD. 'earthworks of enormous thickness, and of the smallest elev a ti on that would afford a range to the guns. The solid m o u n d of the Roman re-appeared (faced sometime s with masonry to prevent an escalade), because it alone possessed the power of resisting, for any length of time, the terrible energy of the new invention. However, the Russians, having built towers of granite or some sea gliola sAbatitute, the word, went forth, an'l granite towers were pronouncedinipregnahle. To doubt their strength exposed yOu to ridicule, to deny it to anathema. ' TheY were religiously believed in ; and if the:pzar had mounted them with catapults, it would have been protounced "certain destruction" to approach armed only with Paixhans. However,' the granite battery pretext for inaction w ill n o longer prevail. . ' Not the least ,gratifyin g part of tha . gailant and im portant achieveinent at Bouiarsund is, that it- has been accomplished with a small loss of life. Had the short and decisive' coarse which Was there employed Leen zi.dopted sooner, how Many might have been saved out of the thousands of the Allied, the Turkish, and the Pu s . Sinn soldiers, who have perished by the sword, or still more miserably by disease, at Gallipoli, Varna, Silistri a , and in the fat a l mars h es of the Dobrudscha ? (From the Tigne.s.) A. great question of modern warfare was opened with the commencement of the present hostilities. The arts of offence and defence had both experienced what were considered very signal improvements. On the one hand, ships were not only moved by steam, but were so moved, through the employment of the screw, without exposure of their machinery to hostile shot. In addition to this, the power of marine batteries had been 'prodigiously auguieuted, and it might-be said without eakigeration that a three-decker of the present day was, from the c eicetttration no le.s than the weight of her broadside,, fu 1 ,three times as formidable as a vessel of the same ate in the time of N. lsou and Jervis. Our steamers, 'tdo, earned pivot guns of a rangs and calibre unknown before, so that, altogether, we seemed to dispose of a force almost irresistible. On the other hand, a system of fortification La I been adopted Ly Russia, which, if not abiolutely-novel, was at any rate carried to a 9 ex traordinary degree of perfection. Its character involved •80111 e return to the usages of more ancient times. Re liance was again placed on the height and solidity of stone walls and bastions ; foundations of living rock were surmounted by enormous blocks of granite, and tier over tier of heavy artillery menaced instant de struction from behind the impregnable rampart of stone. Now, which of these two Systems was to prevail—the new walls or the new shot—the defence or the attack— the floating battery or the granite fort ? The result in volved the solution of two distinct questions ; first, whether f or tifi ca ti ons o f this description were dstruc tible at all; and next, whether, if they were destructible, aship could withstand the fire of their guns 19ng enough to destroy them with her own. Without venturing to say that these points have been yet decided, we do think that evidence of a character at least partially conclusive has been furnished by the re cent capture of the Russian forts at Bomarsund. The offensive and defensive systems were here fairly pitted against each other, Bomarsund was a fortified place of the first order—not, of course, as extensive or as for- midable as Cronstadt or Sebastopol, but differing from these strongholds in size only, and constructed in all re spects upon the principles we have been describing —in fact, the works were some of the most recent erected by the Russian Government. There was a principal fort, and two smaller ones, mounting in the whole, we be lieve, nearly 200 guns. For the attack we' had all the resources of the combined fleets in the Baltic, but the means actually employed were very limited. In the communications of our own correspondent they are cir c mat uantially sp ec ifi e d as follows :-Ist, 100 Chasseurs (artillery), with three mortars and three field pieces, and 600 Riflemen ; 2d, 100 British sailors and 60 Marine Artillerymen, with three 32 -pounders, four 121 b. howit zers, and aided by 200 marines, employed in skirmish ing; 3d, 20 British sailors, with one 10-inch gun in bat tery by itself. This was the sum total of the land force engaged. Of the ships we are told that the steamers fired none but their pivot guns (two to each), with the exception of the Edinburgh and Ajax, which brought four upper deck guns to bear. No broadside batteries were brought to bear at all. Now, what was the result of this experiment ? What the performance of these comparatively few guns against the granite walls of Bomarsund ? Why, that the ramparts of rocks were knocked to atoms, and the impregnable fortress, with its garrison of 2,300 men, taken at the cost of only 22 lives to the allied forces ? The description of the aspect presented by the forts after the capitulation is instructive in the extreme. In the second round tower, says our correspondent, " the bleach made by Captain Remsay'e battery (that of the three 32-pounders), firing at 800 yards, across an inlet, was something terrific. The whole west side had literally fallen away, and eight men abreast could have entered thereby. This breach was effected in nine hours." Of the great fort itselfeve are told that, "Un der the walls of this huge fortification the ground was completely bestrewn with 841 b. shot, broken shells, grape, and canister, intermixed with enormous sheets of iron that had been dislodged from the roof, and the granite walls had been broken away in thousands of places." The Governor of the fort himself declared that the 10-inch gun (Captain Pelham's) and the 321 b. battery (Captain Ramsay's) had rendered his chance cf holding out longer quite hopeless. Here, therefore, is a strong fort of the new character absolutely battered to pieces by some score of guns or so, and the power of shot against stone so pl ,inly exemplified that it seems difficult to raise any further question upon the point. If ships themselves can but resist the fire of the shore bat teries they can soon demolish them, however strongly constructed. On this second point, however, evidence still remains to be supplied. The fighting at Bomarsund was all on our own side, nor had the Russians much to do except to stand and be beaten. The steamers, with their heavy pivot guns, anchored out of range of the fort, besides which the fire of the French Riflemen was so deadly, and so well sustained that the Russians could hardly work their artillery. Such a shower of bullets, it is said : was poured into the embrasures that 10 or 15 minutes frequently elapsed after a discharge before the eremy could stand to their guns to load again. Our list of casualties indeed, is sufficient in itself to show that we could not have been exposed to any heavy cannonade, and that the trial was more of giving than taking. We are still, therefore, left in doubt as to the relative means of offence possessed by heavy ships and granite batteries, but there are two or three considerations 'which seemed to tell against the latter. Assuming that a discharge from 200 or 300 embrasures must be tremendous, yet the smoke arising from such a fire must be almost en.oisesh to smother the gunners in their casemates, not to merg. tion the effects of the return broadsides against the walls. In such a smoke all aim must be lost, and, as ships are move able objects, the offensive power of the batteries must be almost destroyed for the time, whereas it seems now clear that an hour or two's firing would giv e a ll the superiority t o th e assa il ants. If a fort like that at Bomarsund was so knocked about by four guns in battery and the pivot guns of a few steamers, what must be the effect of a dozen concentrated broadsides from twenty huge ships of the line ? It almost stands to reason that the granite, however solid, would be shattered to pieces. To take a fair example, let us suppose that half-a-dozen three-deckers, including the Duke of Wellington, had been laid alongside the great fort at Bomarsund, so that the batteries on both sides were within range of each other. Would the 100 guns of the fort have demolished the ships before the 300 guns of the ships bad beaten the fort about the ears of its garrison ? We confess we can hardly think so. We arc not complaining that this course should not have been adopted. Undoubtedly the best system of action was that which would !leave least to chance and involve least peril of life. If other forts can be taken in like manner by a couple of sailors' batteries and a battalion of riflemen, by all means let such satis factory practice be continued ; but in cases where such tactics are less feasible, and wooden walls must needs be' set against stone walls, we think our apprehensions re specting the invincible strength of granite may be con siderably modified by the recollections of Bomarsund.

C.VUTION TO PUBLICANS AND TRADESMEN.—A cor respondent writes, " that a gang of sharpers, four in number, have lately adopted the plan of proonring situations as barmen and waitresses for a number of their confederates, who, as soon as they are installed, commence their plundering operations.

IiS 71 E TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS. SIR,—I beg leave to send you the enclosed ox tracts of a letter I have just received from a per son on board one of our ships in the White Sea. Perhaps you will agree with me in :thinktng them of public interest. We have been told that blockades were to be es tablished in the White Sea on the Ist of August. ThiS 'nay have'been done; but . as all neutral yes 17E1n port, and . laden previously to tbienotifi . tion of effective blockade, havea right to free eg ress with their cargoes, -it :is-, obv lour such a blockade will be only a farce aa.regards Russian trade for .this year.

Austria therein "res erves to herself free deliberation on the conditions she may bring forward for the re-establishment of peace, if she should happen to 'be forced to take part in the war." Austria, then, as yet takes no part in the war. The attitude she has assumed is, therefore, an armed neutrality, to become possibly an armed, iateriventiuu.

CLILYRICARDE. Off Cross•lslard, -i n t h e White Sea, Je is, 1854. I must apologise to•y ou f or a ldres,iog yritl having, first obtained your permission to do ,so ; but there is such thorough truth in you r l ate rerniirk-8 on the way in which the war is being conducted in this quarter that I cannot resist " the temptation of telling yea how exactly the state of the case tallies with your description of it. „ We arrived off the bar of the Archangel or Delos' River, with the three ships on the 26th June, having boarded an immense quantity of vessels, principally Dutch, on our way down the White Sea. Within 36 hours of our anchoring it came on to blow very heavily from the N. W., which is a fair wind for vessels bound in. They come in in shoals—not less than from 300 to 350 vessels, of which the majority were Dutch, having passed us between the 26th June and 3d July, when the wind changed. During this period it blew so hard a gale that our boats were occasionally prevented from board ing, and, as it was, they were knocked to pieces almost, and all to no purpose—for the vessels were ali, with the exception of one Yankee, in ballast—and as we have orders not to blockade, we could not interfere with them. In anticipation of a blockade, many of them had obtained numerous freights, and the astonishment of the Yankee was great when he was told that he was at perfect liberty to proceed. All these craft are now at Archangel, and the first rush has evidently subsided, though whenever we can see, which is not very often the case, others are seen running down. Without a blockade of Archangel our presence in this sea is next to useless. The quantity of grain, meal, flour, &c., which will be exported thence this year will be positively enormous, and a stoppage of it would be felt in the heart of the empire. You can have no idea of the extent of this traffic,. No one who has not wit nessed its effects. From far and near, within a circuit of 400 miles of Archangel, the produce of the country is sent in ; and as the craft which embark it bring remit tances, either in bills or specie, to pay for it, just fancy what a blow would be struck at Russian commerce by a strict blockade, and what a quantity of money would be removed from circulation. We have taken one schooner and about half a dozen luggers since our arrival, and another schooner (empty) parted from her anchors, and drove over the bar in the height of the gale, after we had put a couple of 321 b. shot through her, got a boat's crew oh board, who luckily escaped to a neutral vessel just as she went adrift. Perhaps you are not aware of another *arrangement ftvhich has been entered into between the Swedish and our Government. It is that the Russian luggers trading between Archangel and the coast of Norwegian Finrnark are not to be mo lested, because upon them the inhabitants of that deso late region depend entirely for supplies of food. Now, this is humane, and would be proper were it not so liable to abuse. We fell in with a fleet of three, the other day, one and all consigned to our consul at ilam merfest, who, with the consular agents at Vardo, Runs, and Vatose, seem to have the whole of that trade in their hands ; and the schooner of 120 tons which we took was provided with a sort of pass from the Norwe gian consul at Archangel. You may depend upon it that the only effect of the war in this quarter has been prejudicial to ourselves, by placing the entire trade in the hands of the Danes, Dutch, and Hanoverians ; and I fervently hope that, should the war last over the year, as seems most likely, you and your party will force our Government.to adopt a different line of conduct. For this year the mischief is done. The very moment that.the gale broke, which was on the d July, we went to work to try and get the steamers over the bar of the Dwina, inside which lay a 16-gun Russian brig, two steamers, two schooners, and:l9 gun boats, each mounti ng two long 3 6-pounders, and pulling 40 sweeps. We sounded the only two channels which we now used, but found only from 14 to 14i feet in the deepest. This occupied us all the 4th and sth of July, and then as Miranda, the vessel of the lightest draught among us, was drawing 14 feet 11 inches, we found that for the present the job was impracticable. On the night of the 6th the Brisk took the Eurydice and the prize schooner in tow; and brought them up belie to an anchor. age about 70 miles from the Dwina, admirably situated for blockading, as all vessels bound to Archangel make Cross Island to ascertain their position. We anchored here on the 7th, and next morning the Eurydice sent two of her boats ashore, on the main land to water. That afternoon it came on to blow aoain from the northward ; the boats tried to get off. 00e of them just pitche d sufficiently close to the stern of the Brisk for her to vee r a small gig with a line to her, by which 'she hauled her up ; 'but God knows what has become of her. The last seen of her was the next morning, at 4 a.m., when - she was trying to beat up along shore. The schooner and one of the boats were sent to her assistance, but one of those cursed fogs came on, and since Sunday, the 9th, we have only bad halfan-hour during which ene could see the ship's length,, and during which *be schooner and boat canie in, having been twenty rni!es to leeward without seeing anything of the missing pinnace. They had two days' provisions with them —but after that ! If it were not, for this most unhappy affair, things would be going pretty straight with us, for we have a p u ic d kd up a are eeous c e o g l u li e s u r which was tlyreassored seot to n about not fr tg o e m E ttiug ng o l u a t nd o , f coals. * . 1 ' * At a place called Li no li e , h a lf way to Archangel, stands the strong fort of Navjorin, mount ing SO guns of heavy metal, and only one vessel could p roach at a time ; beyond that, at Solombol,,where our anchorage, They aew the a dockyard is, they have thrown up strong batteries, and again at Archangel itself. The garrison consists of 6,000 men, and they have the means of turning out as many gun-boats as they please. As far as we can learn there is no vessel of any size on the stocks at present, and no vessels of war have left the river this year. We had a little firing on the 4th of July. the enemy having brought some horse artillery guns to bear on our boats, which were sounding.
