UNITED STATES FLAGSHIP FRANKLIN, OFF
CRoNSTADT, ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Aug. 10.
Before giving an account OF the first recep-
tion Of the United States squadron and Admiral
Farragut, OFF Kronstadt, by the Russian autho-
rifles, your correspondent will refer briefly to
the reception of the Frolic at Stettin- The
The Frolic, on the way from Cherbourg to
Kronstadt, put in at Stetttn, Prussia. to take
on board Mrs. Admiral Farragut and party,
who had come overland, through Cologne, up
the Rhine, and Berlin from Paris
The appearance of the Froltc at Stettin was
the first visitation of an American ship to Prus-
sian waters, and the greatest curiosity was
manifested on the part OF the Prussians. At
first there was kind of hesitation about the
progress OF the ship up the Oder on the part of
the Prussians, who were taken completely by
surprise at the first appearance of an American
kind intention of the Frolic was manifested,
the hesitation OF the Prussians gave way to
curiosity, then unbounded courtesy, then
enthusiasm, which went on increasing amid
shouting, rejoicing firing of cannons, and bands
OF music till one grand, wild, and spontaneous
ovation from land and shore welcomed the
Frolic in Prussian waters. AS the Frolic ap-
preached Stettin, the shore batteries pealed
forth the national salute to America and on all
sides was run up the American flag. The peo-
pie thronged the shore in crowds, while the
Prussian garrison was marched out, and stood
The newspapers came out with extra editions
announcing the ships arrival, and the Prussiah
commander came on board, welcoming the
ships arrival. On the morning of the 1lth the
people, nobility, officers, and ladies came
thronging on board, and during the day about
1000 people looked over the Frolic with the
greatest curiosity and admiration. On
the arrival of Mrs Farragut and party
from Berlin, the PrussiRn authorities fur
nished magnificent carriages to convey them
to the ship. The people thronged the carriage,
throwing bouquets, and shouting America from
the railroad to the Frolic's boat where Prussian
bands autobiography dressed aides-de-camp ac-
companied the ladies on board. Once on board,
the grand salvos of artillery burst out from the
shore and every house-top, and every available
piece of ground on either side of the Oder was
thronged with people waving American colors
and shouting America! The steamers carrying
the American flag now pushed out from the
shore with bands playing American airs, and
thronged with officers and nobility, who accom-
panied the Frolic to swinemude, where a grand
ball was improvised in honor of the American
ship. No one can account for the vast enthu-
siasm of the Prussians, unless it came politi-
cally through the command of King William,
at Berlin.
It would be apYopos to mention the fact that
the Frolc was one of the Clyde built steamers
fitted out in England as a blockade. runner for
the Rebels. She was captured by our fleet Off
Charleston during the war. Her original name
in England was the Lord Clyde, and her Rebel
name was A. e. Vance.
