LONDON, May 4.
Batteries are fine things to look at, but not so
seryiceable against ships, as the uninitiated might
suppose. 1t is rare indeed that more than six
guns eau be brought to bear upon single ship
from the same battery on the other hand, ship
will deliver broadside of fifty guns direct upon a
single gun, and all the balls, thanks TO the Gun
merry of Admiral CHAps the second in command,
will strike within a few inches of each other
To use the expression of naval friend, ''the balls
will strike as though they were delivered from
tube" Most of the batteries are low, low that II
line obattle ships could deliver its balls down into
them Again it is stated that these separate fort
resses can be taken singly and then each fortress
can be employed against its fellow Large yes
sells can get to Constradt. Merchant ships get
there, and therefore many of the squadron can
approach the foltresses Once destroy these,
and though the depth Of the Neva is only nine
feet, still the gunboats will be sufficient to des-
troy ST. Petersburgh. The buoys have been des-
troyed, but ON the other hand the vessels have
steam power, and can feel their way, and back
out of shallow water.
The city of st. Petersburgh is defended by
these fortiesses of Cronstadt, which are situated
about twenty miles below the city, on the Neva
Now reDorts are 1:4f----- ut thO stteISth
u tnese sad fortresses, and apparently the whole
question depends upon the depths of water in the
channel. If only gunboats and steamers can APP
proach them, then they are SAFE but if the pre-
sent fleet can get within effective range then they
are not sufficiently strong to withstand Their
broadsides, and st. Petersburg is at the mercy of
| Sir CHARLES NAPIER According to one account,
furnished to ma by one who has seen the fortress
es, they are impregnable, and may justly be re-
garded as the keys Of the empire but then he left
the country at a time of peace, when the power
OF Cronstadt was received "A matter of course
and no one thought ofquestoning it.
Another informant tells me that he has seen
them often during the last summer excursions,
and that it was well understood in st. Petersburg
that many portions Of the batteries were almost
dummies, that the guns in several situations were
not intended to be used, as they would be more
dangerous to the defenders than to the parties
against whom they we're fired This informant
has just been ordered out of Russia with all other
English. Ell.
