We are in momentary expectation of great news
from the fleets. Burtm Major Lbtlryinple. and
some others, whose names are not known, arrived
yesterday. They left Cronstadt on the 2.5 th of
August, and. on the following day, off Port Baltic,
fell in a ith the Swedish frigate, Camilla, wind, in-
formed them that the Russians hail fled thither,
with nine sail of the line, besides smaller vessels.—
They were blockaded by the Swedes, with ten sail
of the line, and Admiral Rood, with two sail ; and
were in hourly expectation of Sir J. Saunterer.,
with four more.
It was the intention of the combined fleets to at-
tack the Russians, in Port Baltic. Admiral Sou-
mares was off the Gulph on Sunday, and had the
needful information ; consequently ere this the
business is decided. From Finland we have good
news. Near Christianstailt the Swedes have again
been victorious in a pitched battle, but they have
suffered very severely.
