No intelligence of any importance has arrived from either of our grand armies, except what the publick already knows relative to the siege of Oczakow. Certain it is, however that our fleet in the Baltic continues still to annoy the Swedish fleet there; and have so effectually distressed them, that they are entirely cut off from every provision. Their distress therefore must be infinite. Captain Titven, who lately signalized himself by destroying a number of Swedish vessels, is honored with a decoration by the King, expression of the high sense he entertained of his gallantry, and appointing him to the station of a captain of the first rank.
