His Royal Majesty set sail for Granboda at half past live o'clock this morning, and arrived here . at half past ten o'clock, where he joined that part of the flotilla of gallies which is commanded by Rear Admi ral Hjrlmstjerna. In pursuance of his Royal Majesty's order, Baron Boge, Adjutant-General and Colonel in the army, set out from hence this day, to assume the command in chief of all the troops belonging to the Southern Finnish army.

His Royal Majesty's yacht Amadis, at anchor near Fiskou, the 26th September. His Royal Majesty set sail from Little Sattimgar at half past twelve o'clock this afternoon, and arrived here at laalf-past five in the evening. Lieutenant-Colonel Lagerbring, who commands the second division of the Southern Finnish Army, has reported to his Majesty, that the fleet of trans ports set sail last Monday, from Loko, at half-past Eve o'clock in the morning, and being overtaken by a hard gale, came to an anchor at eleven o'clock in the morning, at Lehmiakurka sound. The battalion of Krenub.-rg at first received orders to drop anchor at Waranpo-point, in order to draw the enenr,-i at tention to tkat point, but afterwards five vessels, de tained off Patsari, were employed for that purpose.— This day, at half-past six o'clock in the morning, the fleet got under weigh, and at nine o'clock, the chas seurs began to disembark near Helsing, without any Russian troops being in sight.

His Royal Majesty this day set sail from Fiskon at half past ten o'clock in the forenoon, and arrived here at half past three. Rear-Admiral Rayalin, Adjutant-General of the Fleet, and Colonel Brant, Chief of Brigade, came immediately .on board, and soon after his Royal Majesty proceeded to the flotilla of galleys, in order to inspect its positions. Nisi Royal Majesty has received the following report from Field-Marshal Klingspor, dated the 18th inst. : Agreeably to the plan which I had formed for the retreat of the army, 'Vasa was evacuated, after all the provisions, magazines, and sick, had been previ ously removed : the troops halted at Lillkyro , from l whence the army marched the 12th to. Woro, and the 13th to Orawais, where Major-General Baron . Adlercreutz took up the most advantageous position ; which he could obtain. In order to reinforce the troops who arrived at New Ca rleby, from Narma, two battalions of the regiment of Blomberg and Captain Gyllenbogd's detachment were sent thither. Colonel Dobeln, although still I indisposed, put himself at the head of those troops , defeated the enemy near Funtas, and prevented him! from executing his design to carry New Carleby. In consequence of this advantage gained over the ! enemy, our troops attacked the enemy en different points, drove him from Old Carleby, and forced him to fall back to Lower Wetil, whither Major General I Gripenberg received orders to pursue him , and to ' take post there, to cover the flank of our army. On the 14th instant, early in the morning, the army was attacked in the position of Orawais. Your Majesty's troops repulsed the enemy at every point of attack, and at three o'clock in the afternoon Major- Gent ral Baron Adlercreutz drove the enemy half a mile back ; but there the enemy-received such con-i siderable reinforcements, that our troops, after four-' teen hours righting, were obliged to retreat : this re rograde movement to New Carleby, was performed 1u: mg the Milt, without the enemy, who had pro bably sus?r.iacs a very considerable loss, making the least attempt to molest your Majesty's troops. Our loss is very considerable, though its reatamount cannot as yet be ascertained. I estimate it, from the reports that have been hitherto received, at 1200 men, 100 of whom have been taken prisoners. Head-quarters, Krousley, Stpt. i is, 1608.

Hi s Royal Majesty this day set sail from Cron wick Sound, at ten o'clock in the morning, in order to proceed to the Southern Finnish army. On his way thither his Majesty received two reports from I,4eutenant•Colonel Lagenbring, dated Jarmenpo, the 26th September, and Wtais, the 27th of the same month, by which it appears that his Majesty's Southern Finnish army has obtained considerable advantages' over the Russian troops, and driven them back atter a most obstinate resistance, (continued upwArds of 1 six hours) to Wiais, where tie victorious Swedish troops took post this day, at I,Ptive o'clock at noon.

Let us march and unite ourselves readily with them, to root out the iniquitous oppressors of our nation, and to free our much loved Monarch, who calls upon us from his prison to assist him to occupy the throne of which he is indignantly de spoiled by atrocious perfidy. As I will Share your fatigue as a common soldier, I will be the first to direct you in the battle, and your hardships shall find relief in my case and attention. Chosen by yourselves to the command I hold, I should ill re quite such a flattering election were I ever to aban don you. I shall be constantly in your ranks, and you will find me in the midst of every danger. ,Saliers ! I beseech you to observe the most ri gorous discipline, which will serve as a prelude to your triumphs ; imitate the s truely brave, and do not act like an army of assassins, but devote yourselves to death for the safety of your country : consider that your ancestors look from beyond the grave upon your actions, and that you are sworn to avenge the crimes committed against your Religion, your King, I your Country, and that if these are gone, there no I longer remains any sanctuary. Be not deaf to the voice of mercy, but revenge your injuries like men of true courage. Be assured that I have very much at heart the re- ! putation and character of the army I have the ho nour to command, nor do I believe that any matt ' among you is capable of committing a crime. If , my hopes should be deceived however, you may rest assured that the perpetiator of any excess shall be regarded as a traitor to the public cause, and punish ed with all the rigour of military law. Be coroful then, fellow Soldiers, 'lest any one among you be unworthy of the Spanish name, and above all, be convinced that it is your duty to fight like veteran warriors, in order to merit the esteem of your coun try, which has already experienced so many proofs of your zeal and affection.
