LONDON, May 22.

Lord Nelson has not yet sailed for Revel.— On the 12th his fleet was lying between Moen and Falster. Admiral Totty, with 5 sail of the line, has joined Lord Nelson near Copenhagen.—The whole fleet was making preparations to return.

Extract of a letter from an officer in Admiral Parker's Fleet, dated Kioge Bay (entrance of the Baltic) April 24:

"We are returned to this station, after a fortnight's cruise in the Baltic. Our passage through the narrow channel, between the island of Amack and that of Saltholm, called the Grounds, was attended with some difficulty: most of our ships touched, and two or three got aground; but we all at length got safely through, to the great astonishment of the Danes, Swedes, Russians and Prussians, who could scarcely believe the evidence of their eyes, at seeing such a fleet as ours— Such a fleet as was never before seen in those seas—attempt and succeed in entering the Baltic by such a route.

"After our success at Copenhagen, our next immediate object was the Russian fleet at Revel. However, hearing that a Swedish squadron was at sea, supposed to be intended to form a junction with the Russian fleet, we shaped our cruise towards the Northern extremity of the island of Bornholm, where we were led to expect a meeting with the Swedish squadron. In fact, the Swedish Ships were actually there; but not relishing our mode of complimenting, they had crowded all the sail they could carry, and got safe behind their forts, which are situated on small islands that command all the entrances into the harbour of Carlscrona (the Plymouth of Sweden.)

"On Sunday the 19th the whole fleet, (great and small) was in full chase. Nothing in nature could be conceived to form a more beautiful and sublime assemblage of objects; a sea of the purest azure, transparent to the bottom, skirted by a romantic coast, and dotted with islands, on which floated 18 sail of the line, in two lines, in all their gallant trim, with a train of upwards of thirty men of war, of every form and description,

"About noon, we plainly descried the Swedish men of war, nine large ships, moored at the entrance of the harbour. To me they appeared to be nine two deckers; but, they say, there were only six line of battle ships and three large frigates, which lay out of sight behind a headland. We fully intended to have attacked this position; but Admiral Parker first determined to dispatch the Dart sloop of war, with a flag of truce, to the Swedish Admiral. The Dart returned in about three hours, with an answer, by which we were informed, that, although his Swedish Majesty was resolved to adhere to the northern confederacy, he was nevertheless willing to listen to any equitable proposals that might be made by England for the adjustment of the present differences. We presently hauled our wind, and the signal for general chase was annulled. We however continued to cruise for three days longer, between Bornholm and Carlscrona, and just as we were preparing to bear away for the Gulph of Finland, a lugger arrived in the Fleet, under a press of sail, from Copenhagen. She brought dispatches from the Russian Ambassador at that city to our Admiral. They contained overtures from the Emperor Alexander, of a conciliatory and amicable nature, and which have for the present, and until we receive orders from England, put an end to all our operations."
