This news is the more important as the last dc.
spatches from the English admiral seemed to imply
that decisive operations were impending II is evil

accomplished, there is nothing TO oppose their act
ing together with vigor, and We have every reason
10 believe that ii the submission of the Gar does
not arrest their onward course before long grand
blow will be struck in the Baltic. II is not that no
thing has been hitherto DONE ON the contrary great
results, material and moral, have been obtained. In
the north there is at present only one Russian port
namely Archangel that is not closed and some per-
sops recommended In the sitting Of the English Par
lament of the I'D to blockade it like the others.
This blockade OF all the maritime issues Of Russian
commerce has given dreadful blow to the finances
Of the Gar as the nature Of the products Of that
country scarcely permit their being exported ex-
cept by sea. BY closing that way France and Eng
land have dried up the most evident source of the
revenue of the empire-that Of the customs which
are estimated at 1000 900. In addition, as the
interruption of commercial movement Of about
100000 900 Is the ruin OF the country that Interrupt

habtants, IN despair, curse the policy Of violence
which causes them 30 many msfortunes and,
should the success OF our arms only respond to the
termined enemies in those brave inhabitants of Fin
land who have hitherto supplid seamen to all the
Russian fleets"
