THE BALTIC.
Dantzic, June 18.— The Co9sack, Captain Fanshawe, arrived last night, bringing extra despatches from Admiral Dundas. The fleet was at anchor before Cronstadt. Nothing new.
Two of the infernal machines exploded right under the Merlin, and a tln'rd burst almost at the same moment under the Firefly. The two steamers were severely shaken, but very lightly damaged. At Nargen, three Polish soldiers and two civilians had como off to Britisli ships of war. The civilians stated that many others were waiting to follow their example, to avoid the conscription. The Magicienne reports the passage of Nyborg blocked up with large stakes, and, it is believed, infernal machines. She has had a smart affair with a body of Russians, having shelled them out of an encampment at Revensart. She then went further up, and forced some horse artillery to retreat. The ship received no damage.
A correspondent of the limes writes from Cronstadt, on the 11th instant, that he believes all ideas of attacking Swcaborg or Cronstadt are abandoned.
