SOnday last arrived at Spithead the Russian squadron
under Admiral Von MuLunt, of which, during the
last four months, we have heard, as having been sold
by his Imperial Majesty to Fertmemin VII. The
squadron consists of the following ships:—Dresden,
74, Admiral Von Muller, Captain Fualloscoe ; the
North Adler, 74, Commodore HAMILTON ; Lubec,
74; Truse Swoterley, 74; N,eptunenes, 74; Mercu•
rius, 40; Afstroit, 40; Patrickey, 40. They are fully
manned and armed, and were all built of fir at Arch-.
angel, a short time since; but they are already in
bad general condition, particularly three or four of
them. Their rudders are repairing by mechanics
'from this dockyard; their crews have been engaged
during the week in overhauling their rigging; and
'they are watering by the crews of the guard ships
here. It is expected they will be ready to proceed
to Cadia in the course of the next week. They arri-
ved here in charge of Mr. BuaN, of DeAl, who m. t
them, by orders from the Admiralty, on the Dogger-
bank. No salutes took place on their arrival, be..
cause they may insist on an equal number of guns
being returned ; which, by the present Admiralty in-
structions, our ships of war are forbidden to do to
the lag of any nation ; they would be saluted by two
guns less. On Monday Admiral Sir E. Titonon,-
swum; made a complimentary visit to tie Russian
Admiral, and was received by a salute of 13 guns,
and three cheers from the crew. .

The only instructions given by the gallant party
to Messrs. LI:CAS and Itza.t.e were, " Let it be a
Princely Dinner." This order was strictly obeyed ;
for neva could a more magnificent one be served up
...all the luxuries of the culinary and contectionar-y •
art, were profusely displayed; the dtssert was rare
and costly, and the wines of ;he choicest fl3vour.
The Royal Guest was several times on his legs
and attesved a ready and fertile mind in the eloquent
manner in which he retained thanks, and prefaced
his own toasts. He expressed, in glowing trims, his
admiration ot the sumptuousness ot the banquet pro.
ended tor him by his Be other Tars; the re me mbrance '
of which would never be obliterated from his rat,
morn at the same time lamenting the state policy
that had prevented him from sharing their glories
and their dangers, and leading such IiEROKs as those
present to victory and renown. His Royal High-
ness's last toast was particwarly admired : —'• 74s
Lea of Wheat, Me Land of Vats, As Laid of Potatoes,
sad Me Laid of Lair."
It is almost unnecessary to conclude with asserting
th t the harmony ot the meeting was cr.mplete. Tie
Duke took his leave at twelve o'clock ; but the party
did not separate till some hours atter.
