COPENHAGEN, Az= 27.

With respect to the Baltic fleet, there is not much
to report on the subject to-day. The Cuckoo and
Dragon are still off the Trekronex battery, and with
the exespdoo of the Megielenne, 16, Capt.E.Tatham,
whisk Mused hither yesterday morning from the
isdrivep at Elsinore, so other ship of the Baltic
lest bee passed from the north. On the whole, the
valor 41 Mainers is preferred by the vuions ships,
rntry the smaller ones, to that off this city ; and
reiasou ; none of the new gun-boats have left
Blame* order to anchor hale, but invariably to go
down math without stopping. In the mean time,
those dews who are leaky enough to get a run up
here meta determined to lay up provisions and own-
forts net only for the morrow but for a owe of some
five or six moths. Osseo of cordials, of preserved
meats and of Agars, rags, boots, B:c., go off almost
Admiral Deeds., farther with those officers of
other ships who cams in the Dragon, yesterday, is
still here, and has taken up his quarters at the
Phooix NoteL He has not to-day gone out to the
Palace of Frederikeborg, when the King is at pre-
sent, staying, bat be probably will do so to-morrow.
The offices with the gallant admiral are Captain
Stewart, of H. 148. Dragon; Lieutenant Palmer, flag-
lieutenant to the admiral • Lieutenant Crowe, of the
Duke of Wellington; Captain George Elliott, of
the James Watt, 91, and Dr. Davidson, of the
There.
Although the mornings are still intensely cold, yet
tholes is fast breaking up all over the Baltic ; so that
it is generally expected that the fleet, now lying at
Lel, will leave that anchorage early next week, in
order to proceed to Parosund, where, it will be recol-
lected, the Let lay some time last spring.
