By an extra packet Mr. HARGRA'sVE the Messenger has arrived with dispatches from our Ambassador at the Court of Stockholni. They certainly relate to the plan of operations -in the Baltic, but their contents have not transpired. We have by this conveyance received letters from our army at Gottenburgh, which our limits do not permit us to insert this day—They are not of an exhilirating aspect as to'affairs in the North : The following articles are copied from the Gotten e urgia Gazette of the 21st instant : GOTTENBURGH, JUNE 21. ie Royal. Highness has received the following report from Ma l * Pet/son, commander of the Froja frigate /to 21st May I was off Seveno to reconnoitre the port of Frederickswan, and obtain certain Intelligence of the effective strength of the enemy's flotilla, but in consequence of the wind veering round, I stood out to sea again, and was fired at by some armed ships, but could not discern whether they were gun boats or other vessels. The 9.3 d May, when wind and weather became more favourable, I stood in again with the land; a gun boat fired at the frigate, but without doing us arty injury; finding that the wind was dying fast away, I stood off with every sail set, but was followed by four gun boats which came out of the Port of Fre deri.-kiwan, and joined those which had been lying among the Swedish cliffs. On their nearing the frigate, they formed the. , I line of battle, and a breeze springing up, i availed myself of it, and stood for the enemy's gun boats h order to out off their re treat; at five o'clock I came up with them and 'gave them a broad side, which had the efket that they made all sail to avoid an en gagement. " At five o'clock three other gun boat' put off from the for treat, joined the former, an the cannonade recommenced without m' being able to bring them to close action, and they found it must advisable to put back into port. " Your Royal Majesty's frigate Froj4,-at anchor in Koster harbour. (Signed) " H. 0. PETERSON. " May 23, 1808." _ STOCKHOLM, JUNE 18. According to certain intelligence received frorit Finland, a very considerablepawder magazbie blew up on the Sd inst. near Swea borg, and the explosion destroyed the barracks and several pri vate houses. The dock-yard sustained considerable damage, and several armed vessels of the flotilla were either burnt or consider ably damaged. Many lives ore= lost, and the fire was not yet got ender in the fortress (the 4th June, in the morning), His Royal Majesty bas received a report ftorn Field Marshal Baron Toll, dated the 12th inst, whereby it appear that on the 9th, in the afternoon, a convoy, consisting of GO sail:escorted by an English Isornb-ketch and three armed brigs, got under weigh , {t=om Malmo Road, with a fresh breeze from N. W. ; at nine o'clock the next meriting, the wind changed to N. E. and blew so bard, that the Swedidi gun-boats were obliged to iißtli into port, and were not able to work out again until half past six o'clock it tile evening, when the wind became more moderate. In the mean time the Danes attacked the convoy.wids a very considerable force, consisting of upwards of 20 gun-boats, besides cutters and other small vessels, and captured several merchant men, the number of which I have not been able to ascertain, but four of them were burnt by the enemy. One Inglish brig was also taken, after having made a long and most gallant resistance. The rest of the convoy cleared Falsterbo reef as early as ten o'clock in the morning. The Swedish gun-boats witnessed the* action at about one mile distance. His Royal Majesty has ordered a Court-Martial to enquire Into this action, and to investigate the circumstances which prevented them from taking share in the battle. Of the general correctness olthe accounts brought by' the Spanish Deputies, of which we-yesterday laid tha substince before our Readers, no re..isonable doubts an be entertained, so far h they relate to facts that were passing under.their own eyes. • From the sympathy and affection inseparable from active and zealous interference is the, cause, it may be al lovied that they will naturally be inclined'to draw the most favourable inferences I. but it-dam-riot follow that therefore we mky doubt the correctness-of their statement of present. acts. Indeed doeirAestimony is coirobOratecl by that of Captain TRiAlilin of the ALCME, who, as we stated yesterday, actually took part in the deliberations of one of the meetings of the patriots. The same'etegree of credit is not, however, attached CO the account.of the naval victory given in the Ovie: do Gazette. Of an action represented to have lasted for two days, and to have happened several days pn2vions to the date of the account, . it is thought some parti culars could have been given, were it. true—as • the names -cif Commanders, ships, ' ice. Sec.. There is, therefore, souse grounci t o . doubt its Correctness. - To the accounts we gave yesterday, ice this day add other important documents, translated • from the journals which reached ns yesterday morning, Mi'd from other papers' a day later in dafe,-which reached us last night.% -We have only to remark, that our Readers ought carefully to distinguish between those documents which are ofbrench origin, and those issued by the Spanish Patriots. ( the former kind are all those copied from the Morsiteur, and bearing the pre. tended sandion of men who, being in the power of NAPOLEON, have ao- will of their own. If it were pos sible to believe, that the aristocracy of Spain were so degenerate as voluntarily to consent to the base hu miliation which is ascribed to them in these official accounts, every man must say that the kingdom of Spain wanted regeneration. 131 t every thing that has pa ced atDayonne, and all that is reported of it in the Moir, ought to pass for nothing t and, indeed, it is loci grois s mid too absurd to male an impression on any hitt the most besotted minds. We have endea. vo ured to different productions, so. as to claii prevent anfisnWein the perusal. One circurissince in the conduct of Nartaiisit des • A letter reccived„by the last Gottenburgh Mail states that the King of PRUSSIA is understood to have recently had a letter from NAPOLEON, aelviJitt , , him to abdicate his throne. Upon receiving this a dvice, the Prussian Monarch is stated to have immediately set off for St. Petersburgh. A Gentleman just arrived from Holland ,states, that before his departure, a few days ago, it was ge nerally understood, that Foetus, the King of Holland, was to succeed Jositru In Naples, and that the Grand Duke of ,BERCi was to - reign in Hollind. This seems a very probable arrangement. The habits 0 Lours rather fit him for the society of .Naples. His disposition is too placid to suit a,scene like 1-1011and,' where NAPOLEON requires so much activity. • Th Emperor is understood to have long thought so. Con. cessions have been made to the popular feeling in Holland, and facilities have been - afforded to com- merc i speculati on i n that cOlutry, which have offended the feelings, as they . must have thwitted the schemes of NAPOLEON. He is said to think Holland a weapon capable of efficient hoitility. agakist England, if it be wielded with energy and skaL Of course he must incline to prefer MI R.VI to his brother Lotus.

Ofithe Natiols for the second reading, Lid LAUDERDALE took oceir,ion here to reprobate the manner In which, of late years, grants of marry were 'orought be fore their Lordships, and which went to deprive their Lordships Vail power of inquiry into the cattle; of grants. These grants were made part of the Appropriation Act ; and as their Lordships tecid mike no alteration in an act without disturbing the arrange ment of the supplies for the public, they were therefore debarred even making ary amendment at all in the present Act. This Act remained the grant to the College of INlaynooth ; and another of ,i1,5C0,000 to the East India Company. He thought these two 'puts ought to have been made the subject of two distinct Bind,' that they might be cLseussed on their respective merits. Above an, were their Lordships prepared to concur in the grant of the Ltter sum, without a tittle of Information before the Aionse to teen the fairness and propriety of such a grant—were their Lord-, ti , ips' hands thus to be tied up respecting such important Matters/- slay might as well close their doors, for surely that House would then have become useless, and as such, must mtterly sink its the "tkuattea of the country.
