hours nearly all the principal buildings On
Vargo and many more On Swarte, including
those of the Doekyard aud Arsenal were
burned.
Advices from Konigsburg state that when
the attack on Sweaborg began, the Grand
Duke Constantine asked permission from the

garded as detached enterprise, aud not as
part of any comprehensive operation.

had the effect to revive the spirits of the
