STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1814. Sr. Saarnozontset.--Holiday at the Stock Etcbaage. By the irriVal of his Majesty* ship CENTAUR, from Quebec; which we announced yesterday, we have re ceived Letters and Papers to the 16th July. No military operations had taken place subsequent to the affair alluded to in the subjoined Letter, and which has been alre 4dy detailed to the Public in an official form; our Correspondent, however, mentions a few additional particulars of interest " QUEBEC, JULY IS. Notwithstanding the reinforcements we have re ceived this season, and which began to arrive early in May, we have met a severe check in Upper,Ca nada, from their not being marched up to reinforce our lines in that country. On the 3d of this month, about 8000 Americans crossed from Buffalo Creek to Fort Erie, at the entrance of the Lake of that name. The fort having only 150 men, including Militia, under the command of Major Bunt, of the King's, or Bth Regiment, was obliged to capitulate. The Arne ricans then came down about 15 miles to a place called Street's Creek, where they engaged 1500 of our men, under Major-General RYAG, being detach. 'bents from the Royal Scots, King's or Bth Regiment, 100th Regiment, and Militia, with a party of Indians and Artillery. " The conflict was exceedingly sevete, and the British were obliged to retreat, after having 150 men killed and 300 wounded ; exclusive of these, upwards of 26 Officers were killed and wounded ; among the latter was the Marquis of TWEEDALIC, who had join ed his regiment only two days before; it is said he will lose a leg. " The above action took place on the sth instant. The 1 , 4 s of the enemy has not been ascertained." A Letter, said to have been received by a Gentle twin in Edinburgh, from his friend in Qnebec, dated on the ISth July, mentions a report, that General RIALL, having been reinforced, had attacked the Americans in great force, and defeated them with the loss of 2500 men, including one of their Generals We have as yet no confirmation of the accuracy of this report, A Gottenbtirgh Mail arrived to-day, with another Swedish Bulletin, and some farther details of advan tages gained' by the Swedes over the Norwegian army, which continues to make a most desperate re sistance. Thit treatment of the inhabit.nts, armed and unarmed, by the Swedes, deserves the highest praise—they are treated with the utmost lenity— even kindness. This will shorten the duration of the contest more than a hundred victories. Wa subjoin the following extracts from the Swedish Papers: BULLETIN. " HEAD QUARTERS, FREDERICKSTADT, AUG. 10. 61 On the 2d May, General Gahn, who had at first, with 1400 men, repulsed the enemy, failed in forcing him from a strong position, and fell back to Malmer, without being pursued. He had 31 killed, and 70 wounded. The enemy's loss was much greater. 64 The next day the enemy, by a circuitous route, having got in his rear with 5000 men and six pieces of cannon, General Gahn, who had detached a divi sion to cover the baggage, and who had now only 1000 men and four pieces of cannon, was forced to retreat. Tile detachment with the baggage was at tacked by, 1000 men ; the combat was bloody a Cap tain Keyleystierna, commanding the artillery, lost 26 horses and 32 men of the train. Our troops were iv/Eu.l times obliged to force their way with the bayonet thiongb the enemy's ranks. After flee hours ftring, the.am unit , on being expended, the combat ceased. The enemy returned to his old position at Lier and Kongswruger. General Gahn lost in this affair a 3-pounder, 20 baggage waggons, four Offi- Cers, and 240 then, killed, wounded, and missing. " The enemy acknowledges their loss to be very considerable. We tcok 34 prisoners, among whom one officer and tour serjt ants. Mr. E. von Eckstedt, Judge of Carlstadt, whose zeal had induced him to follow General Cahn, to see to the provisioning of the troops, was killed in the heat of the action. A considerable force is going to that quarter: 6000 men are collecting at Eda to penetrate into the inte rior of Norway, under Lieutenant-General Baron Skoldebrand, unless the union should be amicably effected. " On the 6th, a deputation from Frederickshall waited on his Royal Highness, who then removed his head-quarters to Ingedal. " General Baron Vegesack was ordered to force a strong position taken by the enemy at Packestad, who, with 3000 men and four cannon, defended the great bridge. The General, by sending a detachment to amuse the enemy, contrived to throw a bridge over the stream on his right flank, by which two detach. ments, under Major-General Vegesack, crossed and attacked with the bayonet the enemy who came to impede them. The enemy was repulsed and so warmly pursued, that he with difficulty saved his cannon, and left one powder waggon. A bridge was also thrown over opposite the enemy's centre, who was forced to quit his position, but the ground being favourable, maintained himself some time in the woods, but was driven from them by Captain Ber. geustral, and then his flight became general. We lost 11 killed and 36 wounded. The enemy's loss is above 160 killed and wounded, and 40 prisoners, of whom one is a Captain. 66 On the 7th his Royal Highness moved his head quarters to Friederickstadt, the inhabitants of which took the oath of allegiance, and this evening sponta neously illumin ited their town. " The Bth, General Von Essen sent a detachment to take possession of Thuno. We are getting up five 18-pounders which the enemy threw into the sea on quitting Sannosand in the night. He also sunk a vessel, in which we found four cannon, Ste. " His Royal Highness ordered General Count Morner to drive the enemy from Roton : the Gene. ral repaired to the Island , with four battalions and six guns. Colonel Hay was sent with a battalion to reconnoitre the bridge at Kjolbergo. After driving the enemy from Glummenge, the General bivouack ed there. " On the 9th, his Majesty came to Frederickstadt just as the Crown Prince was going on board to visit him. His Majesty was in excellent health, and was saluted by the gun-boats and the batteries on shore. 66 Generals Vigesack and Ciderstrom, arrived the eveni..g before at Askim, and bivouacked opposite a battery which the enemy had thrown up at Langenas, to defend the passage over the Glommen : four pieces of cannon in a tete-de-psi, and five on the other side of the inlet, defended the passage. A strong recon noitring party of the enemy was repulsed, and we sent a detachment to reconnoitre, which drove him quite up to his entrenchments. Our object being at tained we resumed our position : our loss was 6' killed and wounded—that of the enemy was great. •a In the night he quitted the iae de-pont at Lange. nas, and sunk two of his guns; Gen. Count Morner forced the enemy to abandon Roton, and pursued him to Kjolbergo bridge, which re broke down and made a stand, protected by a battery, till our cannon came up, when he retreated after a short resistance s we took 4.0 prisoners. " On the 10th his Majesty returned on board the Gustavus, and as the fleet, now that Kragers and Fre derickstadt are taken, will be divided into squadrons, his Majesty went to Stromstadt and thence to lidde- Walla, to take the benefit of sea-bathing. His Ma. jesty has made several naval promotions. " We are now masters of the left bank of the Glommen, from Lake Oejorn to Frederickstadt. Ge nerals Vegesack and Cederstrom are at Askin : Ge neral Hedersterna is at Groensuud, Count Essen's head-quarters are at Hafslund. •• A corps is to be detached by Aretnark, Orebro, Orvalskeg, and Ramskog, to join General Galin. The fleet goes up Cinitinfeorde, along the coast, to support the army. " The unfavourable reports spread by ill-designing men concerning the SWedes, are tully contradicted by Vie behaviour of the troops ; the affability of the Crown Prince gains all hearts. The Clergy, except ing one Bishop, who is a Dane, and three or four r,thers led by him, have behaved as becomes their calling. The soldiers and peasants desert the enemy in numbers, and return home. The Danish Generals and Officers at the head of the Norwegian troops, do all they can to keep the army and the people in igno. ranee; but the moment is at hand when the army and the people shall be revenged. Women, with the Swedish Proclamations, pass our advanced posts, to go and seek their husbands, and bring them back to their families. •• The inhabitants of the towns and villages return home in crowds, and desire to take the oath of alle giance to their lawful King. All indicates that the object will soon be obtained which will ensure for ever the repose and happiness of the Scandinavians." " AUGUST I.—General Vegesack attacked'2ooo of the enemy at Trogstadr o ant took COO IStivners. Colonel Alderkreuly has f Iced the enemy to abandon the island Of Runo, and retire beyond the Gibmtnen. Admiral Werseau has taken the fortress of Heswig, where the enemy left 14 18-pounders. This advan• cage opens to us the road to Mosi." " ODDEWALLA, AUGUST 12. " His Majesty arrived this evening frou? 'P'rede- rickstadt." Yesterday her ifAJESTY, accompanied by the Prin cesses Etatasirrn and MARY, attended by Lady M. WIN YARD, went from the Queen's Palace, in a car. riage, to Mr. Geonoc BULLocK's Mona Marble and Furniture Works, in Tenterden-street, Hanover square. The Royal Party also visited the newly erected workshops in Oxford-street. Their attention was particularly attracted by the tractability of a deaf and dumb boy employed , in the works, who oh?yed her MAJESTY'S commands by her signs. The Royal Family left the establishment about half-past one o'clock, and returned to the Queen's Palace. la the evening her MAJESTY had a-select party there. The • removal of the Princess CHARLOTTE from Cranbourn Lodge to the King's house at Weymouth, is expected to take place this day or to-morrow. Her Royal Highness will be accompanied by the Coun ' tesses of hosanna and Rosmr, the Misses COUTTE, Mrs. CAMBELL, General GARTH, Mor Pam, Etc. The. marriage of the Duke of CUMBERLAND is expetted shortly to take place. Yesterday.the marriage between Lady HOBART and Mr. ROBINSON, took place at the Earl of BUCKING HAMSHIRE'S house at Highgate. The Earl and Coun tess of LIVERPOOL were present. The Duke of SOMERSET entertained a party at dinner yesterday, at his house in Piccadilly. The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM is making great preparations for a grand entertainment, to be given at his seat, Stowe, Bucks, in a few days, to the Officers of his Regiment, and a numerous party of fashionable visitors. The Earl and Countess of LIVERPOOL are expected to leave town shortly for Walmer Castle. The Earl and Countess of JERSEY are arrived at Calais from Paris; they are expected in town on the 29th instant. Yesterday Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK had a long interview with the Earl of LIVERPOOL. Lord StnuouTH left town yesterday for Honitnn, in. Devonshire, where the Noble Vi s count is expected to remain fur three weeks t.r a month. The Duchess of ANG9ULEME keeps early boars in Paris. On Thrirsday last she was on horseback in the Bois de Boulogne, At seven o'clock, and returned ' with the De ke to the Thttilleries at nine. CM: r FavouitorEs. —Much has been said at an times, and in :ill nation;, about the number and the wealth of court favourites, but never was there, per- 1 haps, in aay age or country, so rich a phalanx of them as will appear in fortune's Court on the Ist of Sep tember. when the Lott-ry draws ; for, as great Ca pital Prizes are abundant; and Tickets unusually cheap, crowds are naturally pressing to purchase.— Those who :low neglect the auspicious opportunity, array regret their improvidence for ever. Letts have been received fro.m Ghent to: the date of the 20th instant, from which we lean the following partictlars:—Lord CASTLEItERGH made a very short stay at Ghent :'he was net there more than twenty-four hours, and proceeded from thence oa the direct road to Brussels. On the 17th instant, a cou rier was dispatched to England by the British Com missioners, and since that time all intercourse had been suspended between the respective Plenipotentia ries. How long this interruption would be continued was not known, but it may be considerably protract- A —as, on the 19th, Mr. DAts.As, Secretary to Mr. GALATINi set off from Ghent for Amsterdam, to em bark from the Texel, on board the John Adams, which was' to set sail on his arrival. The alleged purpose of his voyage to America is to obtain further instructions on the subject of some serious difficulty that has at isen in the negociation. Commerce is still very much at a stand in Amster dam. innumerable persons are without employment, or the means of subsistence ; but in Rotterdam a greater activity prevails, and a greater proportion of )hipping arrive and depart. The Dutch have some time since commenced the organization of their colo nies. which they expect to be delivered up to them immediately after the Congress at Vienna. English. men are very ill at their ease in Dutch Societies, where the most violent invectives are indulged again it the English and every thing British. Holland also swarms with French Pedlars, among whom an Englishman seldom escapes being insulted if he hap pens to be alone, and to meet two or three of that de scription of gentry. Several duels have taken place in Holland, in the last three months, chiefly among English Gentlenses, one of whom was shot through the leg, and another wounded in the body, but not mortally. The Ist bight Infantry of the King's German Le., gion arrived at Deal on Sunday and Monday, in two, divisions, by the line cf the coast from Sussex, on their route for Ramsgate, where they are to be era barked for the Netherlands. The 2Sth Reginient, 2d Battalion, has received a route to proceed from Pendennis to Plymouth. It appears from returns drawn up from the records of the Court of Admiralty, and delivered into the House of Commons, that 121 vessels L.den with Slaves have been captured at various times, and on different stations, under the Act fio. tl.e Abolition of the Slave Trade: Almost all of theta were con demned. The maintenance of captured negroes in the colony of Sierra Leone, for the year 1813, cost this country £4,039. Of these negroes, 428 had been enlisted in t!:e Royal African corps. A curious contest has lately arisen between the Grand Jury and Dr. TROY, the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, relative to the appointment of a Catholic Chaplain to the gaol of Ntwgate in that City. The Grand Jury having appointed one, Dr. 'facie super seded him on the ground of incompetency, the former appealed to the Court of King's Bench, and were in formed by the CHIEF JOSTICE, that if the person they had appointed was not to be found at his post, they must proceed to appoint another, and so on. The Grand Jury, however, chose to adopt a different course, and sent an order to the prison, that no other Catholic Clergyman should be admitted, except him whom Dr. ROY had suspended. Thus the matter has remain for. lease weeks fast. NdfPAL INTELLIGENCE!. CAPTURES BY AN ANiEr.ICAN PRIVATEER.

In tact, the Scotch cietlit. rs might apply for similar relief. John Bull exclaims—Peace is made ! the Ern . re. roes gone ! the Fete's over ! the Day futs,e !
