Sir Hyde Parker, we can now confidently state, has been recalled from the command of the Baltic fleet, and Lord Nelson has been appointed to the chief command. His Lordship had, we believe, entertained a wish to return to England; and accounts from Copenhagen, received yesterday, state, that he had requested passports from the Court of Denmark for Hamburgh; but we presume the new arrangement which has been made will change his Lordship's destination. The St. George, of 98 guns, his Lordship's flag ship, was the only line of battle ship remaining off Copenhagen, after the departure of Sir Hyde Parker for the Baltic, which took place on the evening of the 16th. Many circumstances have come to our knowledge respecting the conduct of the Baltic fleet, which we deem too delicate to be publicly stated at present.
