ADMIRAI.TY OFFICE, SEPTEMBER 1. Vici-Admiral Sir James Saumarez, Bart. K. B. hath transmitted to John Wilson Croker, Esq. a Letter frem Rear-Admiral Martin, of which the following is an extract : Riga, August 10, 1812. In my letter to you of the sth inst. I mentioned, that the division of gunboats under Captain Stuart, associated with another division tinder a Russian captain, had proceeded up the Boldero river, to ce-. operate with a body of troops from this place and the garrison of Dunamunde ; the object of the ex. pe.lition being, in the first place, to take the enemy by surprise, and, failing in that, to force them back from Schlock, and, if possible, to penetrate to Mittau. The service chiefly assigned to the British was, to keep in advance, and, if practicable, to destroy the bridges which were convenient for the retreat of the enemy ; and the only bridge (that of Kal nezeen) was speedily and effectually rendered un serviceable. General Louis, who commanded the troops, gives the highest praise to Captain Stuart, and the British boats employed upon that service. Copy of a Letter from Vice-Admiral Sir James Saumarez, Bart.

This information is from the Commander-in-Chief, General Barclay de Tolli, who dates his letter the' 4th inst. at Smolensko. In addition to What is mentioned in the General's letter, I learn that General Tormassoff suddenly left the position which he had occupied for some time ar Morning or Zitomire, in order to attack a corps of Saxons, stationed near Kubryn, 24 miles from Bryex Lltowski, and about 130 miles east of Warsaw, where be defeated the enemy, who retired towards Minsk.

Sta—ln pursuance of your orders of the 14th inst. I proceeded off Randers with your boats, and the cutter of the Locust, but not finding the French lugger there, I proceeded further to the westward of Mariager Fiord, to reconnoitre that port ; a small Danish cruizer was perceived coming out, gave chase to her, when sl.e bore up, and ran into Alborg at night Lieutenant Petley, myself, and Mr. Curtis (Second Master of the Locust), thought that she might be carried by the boats, which was agreed upon. Lieutenant Petley then proceeded in shore, with the barge and curter, in company with the Locust's boats, under the charge of Mr. Curtis, her Second Master. About two o'clock in the morning they got along side of her, and carried her from under a very heavy fire from the battery and musketry from Hall's Fort, in the entrance of that rivet, without the loss of a single man. She is one of those cruizers that have been of great annoyance to our convoys off the Scam; she mounts two brass s'x-pounders, one long two. pounder, and small arms, and commanded by Lieu tenant Tetens, of the Danish navy, and Commodore of a division of gun-boats off Flanstrand, with a complement of 22 men, who made their escape into the battery of Halle. They found her moored closed under the muzzle of the guns of the battery, and could not prevent the -Lieutenant and men from making their escape, except one man, whom we have a prisoner. I stood in-shore as far as I could with safety, to cover the boats. I have the honour to be, &c. , (Signed) J.'C. CRAWFORD, Lieut. Com. GOTTENBURGH MAIL. GOTTENBURG, AUGUST 26.

LETTER FROM HER IMPERIAL HIGHNESS THE GRAND PRINCESS CATHARINA PAWLOWNA, (SISTER OF THE EMPEROR) TO THE MINISTER OF THE HOME DEPART- MENT ; Wi fA TILE EMPEROR ALEXANDER'S ANSWER. " Donetige A lexandrowtsch.—At a time when every Russian subject is inspired with love for their native country, and devotion for its Monarch, which have awakened their ardour for the greatest sacrifices, ' at a4ime when to repulse the enemy, and preserve the general safety, it is necessary to make gfeat sa crifices and use every exertion, I have not been able to repel the feelings of my heart in taking an active part in furnishing the means of supply for our war like preparations. " After haiing applied to his Imperial Majesty,' my beloved Lord and Brother, for his approbation and permission, I have to turn to you, and, through your assistance, carry into effect a purpose I have conceived from the most unbounded zeal for the honour and welfare of my beloved country, and from . the most affectionate love for its Monarch. It is my wish to raise, on my hereditary estates, a certain number of warriors, to whom separate regulations will be given by me, and whom I will arm and main tain at orty own expence. The raising of these men is to be effected in the following manner. (Here follow the regulations to be observed in raising this corps, which is to consist of 12J0 men, and form a ' distinct regiment.) " I have not the least doubt but that, according to the instructions you will cause to be given, this conscription will be performed with the greatest suc cess, and that those who shall be selected for the de fence of their religion and country will, by their dis tinguished zeal, soon become equal to old warriors. " I remain your's most sincerely, (Signed) " E. ICATERINA." ANSWER OF THE EMPEROR ALEFANDER I IN HIS OWN HAND-WRITING. " I receive this proposal with the most grateful thanks. (Signed) " ALEXANDER." On the 27th July, (N. S.) the Nobility, in the Go vernment of Novogorod, resolved, as boon as possible, to raise 10,000 men, (the whole Government consists of only three hundred and forty thousand persons), and that the mercantile interest, in that Government, should raise a subscription of above 200,000 rubles, for the defraying the expenses of the war, without doubt, the Nobility and Merchants in other Governments dr m uh en ie t ff ea . s a r e will, for their own ho nour , an d f or the defence their possessions, use every means which honour , b k cessity, and affe c ti on f or t h e i r country aid the ty;tl; will point out t o t h em . r sl ocu ar r y a , to o r f o t f wo th t e ho Go usa v n ern has Th e offeredheChief P his salary, towards the expenses of the war, which the E a " ror has accepted with thanks.

THE KING OF SWEDEN'S STUCK, Extract from his Royal Majesty's spee c h ieth Deputies of the I.:ingdom, at the Diet Chan3h ee . Orebro, on the 18th August, 1812, when the yi t i was closed: " Noble, honourable, worthy,.learned, g enli htn ed, and esteemed worshipful go o d Gentlemen and s it. dishmen !—lt is with the right of confidencethey summoned you, good Gentlemen and Swedi l i, ta, to meet and consult on matters of the greatest ern s ; quence to our native country. It is now, wi t h .., hopes for the future being confirmed, th at y —/ nor close your discussions ; you have followed the advice of your King, and found that k was rad k with what your own hearts, and the ordfa ree i the kingdom, demanded of you. Animated by th e spy of unity, yoil have laid aside private interest for the general well-being ; and united for the defence of Sweden those powers which, parted, would only har e witnessed 14r degradation, or her fall. You have shewn, that a King, with upright intentions and al - open conduct, need not to fear, even under foreip circumstances of great import, to rely on the deputies of his people, and that no foreign power can in f o or break those bands of tanion which bind togethe r Ithe heir to Sweden's throne, and the freeborn hers to Sweden's soil. Since that I last saw you assembled before me, the war on the Continent has broke out in a greater degree, and accompanied with all those misfortunes which are usually inseparable from i t _ Confident in the maxim which has been confirmed ~ by experience, that•strong deftnsive preparatioos are the surest means to insure the peaceable situation of a State, I have found it necessary to piy my m i. cular attention to the military. force of the kintolorn. My own and my son's inclinatioi.s should.render)oa assured, good Gentlemeu and Swedislimen, that the warlike force shall never be emplo} LA to any other purpose than to defend the honour of the nation, and the interests of our native country. To defend the independence of Sweden against present shocks and future misfortune should be the united wish of your. selves and me. The security of the Swedish people, the valour of her sons capable of beariag arms, my son's protecting sword, and the warm affection I bear to our native country, shall lead the way to this end. I I have, on this occasion, good Gentlemen and Sere. I dishmen, thought it likewise needful to inform you, 1 that I have, on the 18th of last month, concluded& tpeace with the King of the Uni te d Ki ng d oan d Great Britain and Ir eland, and that the ralificatitt of this Treaty of Peace was exchanged the day before yesterday. Good Gentlemen of the Knighthood sol ' Nobility, continue what you have been and still ant, true to the Monarchy of your forefathers, true to your joint duties, and to the great demands which I your native country has upon you. Good Men of the venerable Clergy, animated by the truths of the doctrines which you teach, no sacrifice whatever . shotild by you be deemed too great for your native country, and unity among the people, joined with obedience to the laws, shall be the fruits of your zealous endeavours. 1G A a C t) t t 5 " Good men of, the worthy estate of Citizens, yo industry shall be supported by a well inelmed Go. vernment ; and if that general circumstances should at times, by necessity, lay a hand an )ni r intention, yet you will always with impartiality reflect on "let your King often with great sacrifices has endeavour. ed to do for a class of men which best fulfils its dsf ties when it unites its private interest with the glea ral welfare. a Good men of the wealthy Peasantry, bewared of the continuance of your King's intentions; retain those sentiments towards him which have for a cows of ages, always distinguished the commonalty of the Swedish Kingdom. Zeal for the defence of your own principles should inspire you with a true respect for those of others. Never forget that true litoTty rests entirely on order and peace ; and that greater demands only excite intestine divisions, which wooer or later end in general destruction, and fall alike co the wronged fellow.citizen, and on that which, on• der a momentary delusion, has raised itself on the fall of the former. 1 .o 46 Good Gentlemen and Swedishmen, there ism experience which is only gained by misfortune, afti _another which is produced by the judgment of co. temporaries, on minds devoid of prejudice. May tbi Swedish people learn from the general state of rope, to take a sufficient guidance for its own mu tions ! May it learn, in preference to every thing 11101; to support its own honour and estimation, and, in Di . concord with its King, strive to attain a cow. end, without being carried away by any othelfilo sions than such as bind the life of every citizen with the existence of the State, and their independeos with its honour ! Then shall no longer divided strength entice foreign invasion, nor the disunited confidence between the Government and subjects sink the hopes of independence; no envious jealousies will lead matters to extremities, nor the restless z eal for amending possible illusions pave the way to fo• • reign chains. With Elie solemn intent of sua ra g your hearts against the delusive bearings of ther e ' sent times, you, good Gentlemen and Swediiiinwee will see your native country preserved in her him' her liberty, and her boundaries. Not like dsogcsi• querors who merely seek for treasures, they la!' despised by such as disdain obtaining thew WIT accompanied by honourable victory. Free and nogg will the Swedish people careully turn their 6 . 10 against domestic destroyers, and ardently 4 04 , those enemies who would seize on the productsr es l_ sparingly bestowed on our soil. " With this hope I leave you, Gentlemen pi. Swedishmen, and my eyes are constantly turned" HEAVEN, and afterwards Lull on my son. I'o fro joint protection of HEAVEN and him do I mow mend this kingdom ; and an eternal voice of 0 111 * fort tells me, that the Polar Star shall never drs on the northern rnonntains without being, when W ilh . in the Swedish landmarks, bailed by lreo Swank" RIM —I remain ) " !cc. etc.
