MORE RUSSIAN PRIZES.

Her Majesty's ship Archer was at Memel on the 18th
of August making arrangements for sending borne the
14 prizes anchored in that port, taken by her Majesty's
cruizers for breaking the blockade of the Russian ports
in the Gulf of Finland, :7 naval coast vulnnteers having
come out to work them home to England
Yesterday another prize-ship, the Jonge Albert, of
which Van der Zee was late the master, taken a prize
by her Majesty's steamer Conflict for breaking the
blockade of Rig I. arrived in the river in charge of Mr.
Dickins, from Harlingen, where her cargo was landed
by the Dutch authorities. She is to be taken into the
West India Docks for condemnation.

The Court of Admiralty has reserved its judgment
with respect to the Union, of Flensburg, prize to her Ma-
jesty's ship Cruiser, for violating the blockade of Riga,
for proof that the blockade was in force. and that its
existence had been made known. With re►pect to the
Norwegian ves,,el Nornen, prize to the Archer for break-
ing the blockade of Mga, the Court of Admiralty has
reserved its judgment. In the case of the Ostzee,
Mecklenburg vessel, taken by her Maj,-sty's ship Alban
for breaking the blockade of Cronstadt, the Court of
Admiralty has pronounced against the se►zure, but has
refused costs and damages against the Alban for the
unlawful detention.

THE SUSPICIOUS YANK EE CRUISER GRAPE•

SHOT.
It is stated that the Grapeshot, a vessel that created
some stir by being reported some time since in the Eng-
lish Channel as a Yankee privateer, " has cleared out in
a most mysterious tnanuer from New Orleans, with a
cargo of muskets."
Our cruisers in the Weq.t Indies will doubtless look
after this " Grapeshot." If up to any pranks, she will
find herself some fine day under range of one of Lancas-
ter's " canisters,"

THE CREW OF TILE JANUS.
The Janus, paddle, Lieut. Kane, is still at her moor-
ings on the west shore, Sheerness. Her crew have for
the present been retained on board.; their ultimate dis-
posal is not yet known, but they expect still to be
drifted to the Indefatigable, for which ship they volun-
teered. Mr. Fisher, the gunner, upon whom the late
court-martial was held for desertion, but acquitted, is
likewise on board.

RECEIVING-SHIP FOR RUSSIAN PRISONERS.
The Devonshire, receiving-ship for Russian prisoners
of war, has had the collier Hercules and the water-tank
vessel alongside, to complete her !,tore of fuel and water
preparatory to the draft of Russian prisoners of war
(500) being trinsferred to her, now on their passage
home by the Algiers, 90, screw steam-ship, returning
here to take in her lower deck guns, left here for the
convenience of receiving French troops for the Aland
Islands.

DEPARTURE .OF THE 341 E REGIMENT.
The 1800 tons screw-ship, Mauritius, went out of
Portsmouth Harbour, yesterday morning, at nine o'clock,
with the 34th Regiment on board and one company
of Sappers and Miners. They were to lie-to off
Osborne, for his Royal Highness Prince Albert to
board and inspect them. The gallant soldiers cheered
heartily as they left the harbour, and received the
same honest compliment from the ships of war and the
shore.
