TILE BALTIC FLEET.

I Ocronn 3.—=-The return of the French division of the
fleet, together with General Baraguay d'Hilliers and the
land forces, to Cherbourg, the departure for England of
General Jones, commandant of the Engineers, and the
sailing from Nargen of the Neptune, 120. the St. George,
12Q, the:Prince Regent, 90, and the Monarch, 84, for
Kiel, Holstein, and thence to Spitheak indicate the ter-
mination of the campaign in the Baltic .for the present
year, and the suspensionof any further active operations
until the spring of 1855.
Under an impression that there is yet ample time for
carrying out further successful enterprises, much sur-
plice has been cre:AA at the probability that at an early
p?riod the whole fleet will return to the English coast.
But such a step is absolutely necessarythat the
iwiAerous weather has set in, the more especially so with

their.safety, and ,rni;lit pos4bly result in great damage
to many, if not in the loss of some of them.
_ admitting that Cronst adt were reached by
the fleet_ without hating sustained any injury,- it
could not be -successfully attacked without the co-
operation of a large body of troops. To approach
within 500 yards of the louts wou!d be no easy task,
and, ere our ships could g.t suffieieotly near to produce
by their broadsides auc off,let on the granite batteries,
the chances are that they would be severely crippled
by the cross fire of the larze number of guns that
would be brought to bear upon them as they proceeded
one by one up the narrow channel which leads to the
harbour. Hence it has been deemed advisable to defer
until the ensuing year the bombardment either of Hel-
singfors or Cronstadt. By that time a sufficient number
of land forces will be at hand to assist in the demolition
of these two strongholds of the enemy, to be followed by
the capture of the whole of the ships now lying in their
harbours. The main body of the fleet will not leave the
Baltic before the poisibility of the Russian ships coming
out into the open sea is precluded by natural causes. At
Sweaborg the ice is beginning to form in-shore, at
Cronstadt it will do so in the course of another fort-
night, and, before the end of the month it will have
accumulated sufficiently to prevent the egress, from
either of those ports, of the naval forces of the Russians.
Daring the present campaign mach has, in reality,
been accomplished. The Czar bas been deeply humi-
dated by fall of Biinarsuud, the fortifications of
which occupied several years in their construction, at an
expense of six millions of money ; he has caused the
forts at Hango to be razed to the ground, in order, it
would appear, to spare the allies the trouble of doing so.
The coasting trade in the Baltic has been completely
stopped by the efficient blockade of the various ports.
Those are the results of the first year's campaign, to 'be
hdlo wed up in the ensuing season by operations on a
much greater scale.
In my despatch of the 26th ult. I gave in detail the
daily movements, &c., of the fleet up to the previous
evening. In continuation lam enabled to furnish the
following intelligence.
Oo the 25th ult. a court-martial assembled on beard
the Neptune, 120, which was attended by the captains
and commanders of the various ships, for the trial of Mr.
J. H. Glover, the senior lieutenant of the steam sloop
Rosatuond, on the following charge :
" For having, on the afternoon of the 21st of Auguit,
when engaged in conversation with Mr. Lyttleton, the
surgeon, laid hold of his arm, saying, he would pull Mr.
Lyttleton's tongue out by its roots and cleave him to the
ground; or language to that effect, at the same time strik-
ing Mr. Lyttleton in the face with his hand."
The investigation of the case occupied a considerable
portion of the day. At its close the Court delivered the
following sentence :
"Having carefully and deliberately weighed and con-
sidered the evidence brought forward in support of the
charge, and'also what the prismier had to offer in his own
behalf, and having, further, very maturely considered the
whole, the Court is of opinion that the charge is proved ;
hut, in consideration .of the provocation given, do only
adjudge him the said Lieutenant J. H. Glover to be
slightly admonished, and ho is hereby slightly admonished
accordingly.

" The COut t is further of opinion that the conduct of
the prisoner, j n comp'yipg with the printed instructions'
and offering an ample apology, has been highly honourable,
sad the c.induct of the pronocutor extremely vexatious suit
reprehensible in not accepting that apology."

Sept 27.—At 6 a.m. the van squadron, under the
orders of Rear-Admiral Plumridge, sent aloft topgallant
masts and yards. At 8 a.m. the Neptune, 120, St.
George, 120; Prince Regent, 90, and Monarch; 84,
shortened in cable, and at 9 a.m. weighed, the Neptune
first, St. George second, the Monarch third. The Prince
Regent-fouled her anchor, and was, consequently, contd.

off Narri...en under reefed topsails and courses. The
English steamers Driver and Hecla, the French

And accotpanied• Rear-Admiral Phijinridge's squadron
IVr the purpose of towing the sailing ships when neces-
sary to do so. In the event uf the ships parting com-
pany from stress of weather or other causes, they were
,rd,red to rendezvous first off Ostengen Lighthouse,
4ittrlted ou tho north-eastern I:;*efrit of the Island of Gott-
land • seeOndly, of Hammer Light., Bornholm ; and
. _

Spit licad.

Tiie stezumfrigates crui.in, in the Gulf of Fitsl:todto

he en,tward of Revel were recalled by sigma. The
Dragon hove in sigLt at 9 a.m:anel anchored off Nay-
;en, having in the nteanq.ne been reliaved by the Ma-

ielenne. The ',team corvette Cruiser wa.q ordered to

;et up steam, and subsequently parted company with
;he fleet, proceeding to the westward through the st►ilth
uhntriel. tier destination was supposed to be the Gulf
of Botbnis►.

_Sept. dense fug came on last evening, and
3ontinued until noon of to-day, precluding all communi-
cation by signal or othernise between the respective
ships. On its clearing away, the Euryalus, 50, Captain
G. Ramsey, was ordered to prepare for sailing, taking
under li,er orders the Arrogant, 4G, Captain Yelverton,
and Desperate, 8, Capt. E. T. C. D'Eyncourt. They
sailed to Old westward on the forenoon of the 29th, to
cruise off the Island of Dago.
Sept. 30.—The Imperiduse, 50, Captain Watson,
anchored off Nargen at 10 a.m., followed by the Dra-
zon, 6. Captain Wilcox. A strong breeze came on from
; all boats were recalled by signal, and com-
munication between the ships forbidden until further
orders. By 9 p.m. the force of the wind had increased
considerably—the ships riding.by one and two anchors,
veering cable to 150 fathoms on the one and 90 fathoms
on the other anchor.. The barometer fell to 29.300. By
midnight it ble.v a strong gale, accompanied with heavy
rain.

Oct. I.—The wind has suddenly shifted to the north-
ward .and decreased in forge. By noon it again in-
creased, its direction .being west by north. Towards
the close of the day, the temperature became much re-
duced—the thermometer indicating 42 degrees (Fahren-
heit), and the appearance of the sky betokening a fall_ef
i-now.er sleet.
Oct. 2.—The gale continued up to noon to day, but
towards evening became moderate. The Basilisk steam-
sloop, Captain the Hon F. Egerton, arrived from,llantzie
At 10 a.m., bringing the overland mail and 40 live bul-
locks for the fleet. When off the. Island of Faro, on
the 30th ult. she spoke the squadron of sailing ships
under the orders of Rear-Admiral Plumridge. The
steam-gunboat Wrangle was ordered to leave for Eng-
land to-day, but has been detained by stress of weather.
The Magicienne, 16, Captain Thomas Fisher, anchored
off Nargen in the afternoon. The Russian ships in the
harbour of Revel have struck their topmasts, and are
dismantled for the winter season.

P.S. Oct. 3.—The wind has gradually increased
during the night, ; a moderate breeze is blowing. The
steam gun-boat Wrangler parted company with the fleet
at 6 a.m., en route for England. The Bulldog, Captain
W. H. Hall, will leave at noon for Dantzic, with the
