RUSSIA.

We have received the St. Petersburg journals of
the 2d of June.
The Police Gazette of St. Petersburg publishes
the following notification from the Military
Governor-General of that capital :
"On the 19th (31st May) the following telegraphic
despatch was received here :
" The enemy is still at anchor, and counts the same
number of vessels.
" The enemy's vessels are getting up their steam and
weighing anchor.
" From the telegraph station at Cronstadt two frigates
and two steamers are distinctly visible."
A St. Petersburg letter, of the 31st ult., states
that the Emperor has published a ukase, ordering
the formation of six regiments of militia cavalry,
four in the Government of Pultawa and two in
that of Tchernigow. Each regiment is to be 1,803
strong.

THE BALTIC FLEET.
DANTZIC, June B.—The Bulldog, 6, Commander
Alexander C. Gordon, arrived here yesterday after-
noon, with mails from the fleet, having made the
passage from Cronstadt to this anchorage in 61
hours—an incredibly short run considering the
dense fogs she encountered on the way. It ai3.-
pears, however, that although very unusual at this
advanced season of the year, these fogs are still
prevalent in the Baltic.
The whole of the fleet, consisting of 16 line-of-
battle-ships (including three French), six frigates,
and 10 gun-boats, is anchored close up to Cron-
•
stadt, forming a perfect line across the bay from
shore to shore.
With the view of checking more effectually the
coasting trade, which has of late increased to a very ,
large extent in the Gulf of Finland, an order was
issued to the fleet, towards the enel of ,last month
(leaving, however, a discretionky power with the
commanding officers), to burn or sink all coasting
vessels captured within certain limits. In pursu-
ance of this order the Magicienne lately intercepted
and destroyed two of these traders, laden with loge
blocks of nanite, all ready cut, worked, and num-
bered in rotation ; and indeed, judging from the
fact that the number 170 was found on one of the
blocks, it is not improbable that several cargoes of
the same material had previously reached their
destination in safety. From this circumstance it
may be inferred that the Russians are still busily
employed in erecting fortresses on some part of
the coast, the exact locality of which has not, how-
ever, as yet been clearly ascertained. The genera]
impression is that the new fortifications at Swea-
borg, which we know the Russians commenced
building during the winter months, are now being
brought into a state of completion.
On Saturday last, Admiral Dundas, accompanied
by Admiral Seymour, embarked at noon on board
• the Merlin surveying steamer, Capt. Sullivan, and
proceeded to reconnoitre Cronstadt. To guard
against a surprise, they were attended on the expe-
dition by the Dragon, Captain H. Stewart, and the
Bulldog, Commander Gordon. Although they went
in quite close to the batteries, and remained there
for nearly three hours, the Russians looked quietly
on during the whole time, apparently with
the most perfect indifference, and as all the
ships in the harbour were dressed in colours, it is
possibly they were engaged in celebrating some
high festival, or even perhaps doing honour to an
Imperial visitor.
The authorities here have, received notice from
Berlin that Prince Frederick William of Prussia,
only son of his Royal .klighness, the Prince of
Prussia, intends to honour Dantzic with a visit on
the 20th of this month.

A letter from Lemberg of the 4th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" A large proportion of the Rus-
sian army in Poland has Teceived orders to proceed
southwards, and the Grenadiers are already on
their march to Bessarabia. T,hese troops are in-
tended to replace the losses sustained by the Rus-
sians in the Crimea. Several camps are to be esta-
blished in Bessarabia. The corps which are leav-
ing Poland are to be replaced by fresh troops and
the second levy of Cossacks. Although the state of
Poland has not undergono any legal change, the
ordinary severity of the laws is much relaxed, and
people are allowed to talk a little more freely.
The greatest tranquillity reigns throughout the
country. The measure of freeing the Jews from
military service is attributed to Prince Paskie-
witch."

MARSEILLES, June I.—The park of siege artillery for
the army of the East is at length shipped in the Ameri-
can clippers, Great Republic, Queen of Clippers, Gaunt-
let, and Alleghanean, but they have not yet sailed. The
French steam frigate Eldorado has arrived to tow the
Queen of Clippers. In the meantime she is taking on
board a quantity of gun carriages. The Great Republic is
waiting to receive 400 cavalry horses. Capt. d'Andigne,
of the staff, met with a serious accident when
visiting that gigantic ship on Wednesday last. Ile fell
from the main deck into the hold, and fractured a leg.
While so much time appears to be lost in the despatch
of those sailing-vessels our British steamers arrive, load,
and sail again for the Crimea.
At a late review of the Turkish army at Eupatoria by
Omer Pacha, whilst the troops were resting, the gallant
general had a race with Sephia Pacha in sight of the
field. What an excitement would take place were Prince
Albert and the Duke of Cambridge to try their horse-
manship at the next review in Hyde-park !—United Ser-
vice Gaxelie.
