SIR CHARLES NAP1ER's OPINION OF
CRoNsrADr.-SirC Charles Napier has re-.
turned to England, and has sent notes on
the strength Of Cronstadt to the London
Morning Advertiser. He writes: If iify
sail of the line and fifty thousand men in
steamers were to attempt to attack. it
might just possibly succeed, provided they
did not sink ships between Menschikoff
and Cronslott, and our ships did not take
the ground in going in. It would be ne.
cessary for the leading ships TO anchor
against the batteries. Those following
should 20 in and break the boom. II
they succeeded, we should probably over.
power the feet, and the steamers would
land the troops on the sea wall. If we
failed in breaking the boom, there would
be great confusion, and there is no know.
ing what would happen. 1t would also
be necessary to have strong reserve to
take the place Of the ships against the
batteries, if they failed in silencing them,
which is more than probable. If all went
right, Cronstadt would be taken; if all
went wrong, the fleet would be lost. No
one, think, except the Times, would have
tried Cronstadt. They said it was not
necessary to see how one was to get out !;
it was only necessary to get in. ! have
shown that the north passage is double
| may say triple-holed. and four now
batteries built, SO that passage is sealed.
There are no gnns on the north wall but
without there are redoubts we'll armed.
On the south side, between Risband and
the main land, there are two new bate
ries, which render It unassailable, and the
passage up Peterhoff is holed also.
