As a matter of fact there was a dearth of vessels coming from the south, which to a great extent accounted for the lack of news. But it would seem, in any case, that the Baltic Fleet, wherever it is, keeps out of the beaten track so that tidings of its whereabouts is difficult to obtain. It is variously stated that the Fleet is still located at Kamranh Bay-a place which [It was learned on Thursday evening that, in few people had ever heard of until it became view of the Magistari & decision of the 18th famous by the presence of the Baltic Fleet inst., the men had been released from prison.and again it is reported that the Fleet has Ed. ..
