THE BALTIC.

COPENHAGEN, Tuesday, April 25.—The English
cruisers have taken the following ships, and brought
them in here :—Phonia, Biorneborg, Fidentia,
Aina, Louisa, Christinenstab, Nadeschda, and Hel-
singfors. The two last were captured in the
Cattegat.
To render the blockade of the coast of Finland
effective, one division of the English fleet has gone
to the Gulf of Finland, the other to the Gulf of
Bothnia. _ _ _

HAMBURG, April 23.—Admiral Napier had
formed his fleet into three divisions, but disposed
in such a way, and sufficiently near each other,
that he can, in case of need, reunite them for
battle. The first of these divisions takes up its
station near the Gulf of Livonia, and is not far from
the ports of Polandgen, Libau, and Windau ; the
second in the same gulf, in sight of Riga Harbour,
so that it can prevent all communication by sea ;
and the third is placed at the entrance of the Gulf
of Finland, for the sake of observation, not far from
Sweaborg (Helsingfors), where the Russian Baltic
squadron still keeps close. Two English steamers
are cruising pretty near the latter port.
A letter of the 21st says :—Since the wonder-
ful Court intrigue, which has resulted in the Mi-
nistry retaining their portfolios, in spite of both
King and Parliament, nothing material has occurred.
Some of the dismissals have been kept back—it is
hoped they are adjourned sine die. Those of Major-
General Andre and Professor Hall, two of the
most distinguished men in this country, are
already gazetted ; as is also the appointment
of Martensen to be Bishop of Siaalland. There
is also a lull in warlike affairs, the fleet
having made Gothlaud its head-quarters. There
are four merchant-ships, prizes, lying in our roads,
having been sent up from Kiogo Bay. The crews
have been sent ashore, with the exception of the
skippers. The Cumberland has reached Kioge
Bay. It is not yet known whether the national
party will make any fresh efforts at this moment.
The present Cabinet has not six supporters in both
houses ; it has violated the Constitution by the re-
vengeful dismissal of the Parliamentary chiefs who
voted against it; and has taken no single step, after
a lapse of two years and a half, to inform the na-
tion what it intends by its programme.

THE BLACK SEA.
THE FURY CHASED BY RUSSIAN WAR

VESSELS.
The Malta Mail, of April 21, publishes the fol-
lowing
" On the 10th inst. H.M.S. Fury left the fleet at
Baldchik, on a cruise, unaccompanied by a French
steamer. On the afternoon of the 11th the western
coast of the Crimea was distinctly visible, and in order
not to be seen or discovered too soon, she stood off from
it. During the night, and in the early part of the
morning, she gradually edged in to the shore, but
the brilliancy of the moon was a greatdrawback
to her plans. On the 12th, at 3 30 a.m., she steamed
ahead at full speed, and at 5 30 came in sight of Sebas-
topol. By this time the sun had risen, and the morning
was unclouded, so that objects at a long distance

were visible.
"Two merchant vessels were seen coming out of
port, with the Russian ensign flying, one of which, the
Fury, carrying a splendid breeze with her, rapidly
