THE BALTIC FLEET.

The latest news we have here (Berlin, April 15)
of the movements of the advanced squadron of the
fleet is, that the screw frigates Imperieuse, 51, Capt.
Watson, and Euryalus, 51, Capt. Ramsay, entered
Kiel harbour at 11 o'clock on the morning of the 13th
inst., and came to anchor there. Several cargoes of
coals for our steamers have already arrived, and
others are expected at that port. One of two
colliers, that arrived at the mouth of the harbour
on the 9th inst., contrived to get through the
floating ice as far in as the dilapidated fort of Fried-
richsort, and cast anchor there ; the other was
compelled to put about and regain the open road.
The interior portion of the harbour had been open
for some days, owing to the influx of the Swentine
and various land spring, but till within a vety few
days the whole space between Bellvue and the mouth
of the harbour was covered with firm ice. Up to the
10th there were a number of Kiel vessels detained.
at Corsoer, waiting for the ice to break up suffici-
ently for them to proceed home through the
southern portion of the Great Belt. The boldness
of our navigators and t•ke strength of our vessels,
as evidenced in their early arrival in those waters,
and successful progress through floes and sheets of
ice, cause great admiration in those parts.
Two Danish steamers that were announced to ar-
rive at Kiel on the same day (Friday) were ordered
to return only to Corsoer for the present, the trip
to Copenhagen not being considered feasible yet.
The Danish Government, in compliance with the
German Federal resolution of Kriegsbereitschaft,
has summoned its federal contingent, in virtue of
'Holstein and Lauenburg, to come'together on the
15th of April. This boy of troops will consist
of the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th battalions of in-
Pantry of the line and the sth corps of riflemen.
The 2d regiment of dragoons and a battery of
artillery, at present stationed at Holstein; are

expected to join the 'contingent. The (Ples:
