Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and
Princess Victoria, accompanied by his Majesty the
King of the Belgians, Lady Flora Hastings, Sir John
and Lady Conroy, M. Van De Weyer, &c., attended
divine service at St. George's Church, Ramsgate, yes-
terday morniug. In the afternoon the Duke of Wel-
lington and the Earl of Rosslyn came over from
Walmer Castle to pay their respects to the Royal
party.
This day, about twelve, the King and Queen of
the Belgians and suite, their Royal Highnesses the
Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria and suite,
drove over to Walmer Castle to visit the Duke of
Wellington, and returned to Ramsgate by 5. The
Royal train consisted of the King's carriage drawn by
six horses, two carriages and four, and a carriage and
pair.
People are still busily employed in discharging the
cargo of the unfortunate ship Ocean, which is sunk at
the back of the pier ; her cargo is very valuable, con-
sisting of linen, mahogany furniture, about 30 piano
fortes, German toys, musical instruments, &c., the
greater part of which, from having been under water,
is so much damaged, as to be now of little value; the
linens, when washed, may be available, but the furni-
ture and musical instruments are almost entirely de-
stroyed or spoilt. 'We have been informed that the
value of the cargo is nearly 60,0001., part of which
was insured, but the ship was not underwritten.
Among the passengers were two females from Ham-
burgh, going out with the intention of settling at New
Orleans. The brie; Brooke, belonging to Liverpool,
is in the harbour, having suffered damage; part of
her cargo, which is valued at nearly 100,0001., is to
be taken out, in order that she may be repaired.
About 150 sail of v essels are in the harbour, having
taken shelter during the late boisterous weather.

be, lAN FLEET IN THE BALTIC.—We have
Perfectly aware that, for several years, Russia has
,1 a considerable fleet in the Baltic Sea. It consisted
4nd we
Yea r, we believe, of twenty-seven ships of the line ;
understand that it is to be increased, by next sum-
80`Z, to thirty. Indeed, so far back as three years ago,
jee,e discussions are said to have taken place on this sub-
h', between the two Governments. The regular gar-
T"f St. Petersburgh may be numbered at about
oto tY thousand men. If Russia thought fit to go
r war with England, it would be barely possible
trr her to menace our shores, by shipping ten
her wenty thousand of the soldiers of this garrison on board
e fleet, and to diffuse an alarm as to her capability to
eP the seas to a certain extent, which are frequented by
e. r merchant ships. The fleet is divided into three divi-
ons~ of nine men-of-war each ; and at first the rule of
101ine was to send out each successive summer one of
d'hib elrcl utibiea was divisions
number
to exercise while the season permitted.
afterwards extended so as to comprise
e
sai
and in the year 1832 an intention is
°d to have been entertained by the Emperor to order
nil the whole of his fleet to manoeuvre. Against this
tended proceeding our Government remonstrated, and
that it fLieven. as we are informed, was distinctly told
as it were persevered in, it would be considered as
a proclamation of war against England. The result
'v,ts that the Russian fleet did not display all its force, andthe
,i9stile demonstration, if such it had been intended to appear,
tid not take place. When the question was first put
i, Russia, " Why do you maintain so large a fleet in
e_e Baltic, and for what purpose do von keep men
iutzstantly in training to perform the different offices on
zuoard, which a state of war could alone require ?"—the
l
118wer is said to have been this—" We have no commer-
eli narY, as you English have," to man our ships from in
porpe
(lof war. Unless we discipline men especially for the
se, we can have no fleet at all, should we require
131-e, and hence it becomes indispensable to our safety to
i,,4ve. a number of sailors and mariners regularly
totired to the service before-hand." It cannot be denied
at this a reasonable answer ; for every nation has a right
hioartietf ie:lnd itself. We cannot call on Russia to dismantle
f:r slips, and suffer them to rot is her dock-yards. If we
, our only policy would be to keep on foot a naval
wre*eaPable of contending with her, in case of attack, and
.thei are rather inclined to agree with our correspondent in
kiththat this point deserves more attention than it has
erto received at our hands.—Morning Paper.
