They bring an official account of an action between a part of the Swe dish and Russian armies in Finland, which however, accord ing to the statement of the Swedish Con:mat:der, appears to have hC^n but of a trilling nature. Two divisions of the Swedish army, one• posted near hirsby and the other near Arts:o, were attacked by the Russians on the (20i h ult. the former was compelled to retreat, but the latter repulsed their assailants; both, however, subsequently retreated to wards Tewasiebus, where the main body 4:f the arms ig a a posted, and where them hole occupied a more concentrated position, in v01;6 it remained on the 4th instant. A spy had been apl►rehended by the.SwAes, on wh o m were found several copies of a ltroelamat ion signed by the Russian General lioxo% den, and addressed to the Finnish soldiers, exhorting them to desert the ca►cse of their So vereign, a►td promising them a variety of advantages if they would lay down their arms. This stratagem is worthy of the French School. It k said that Government have received phsitivc inlnr- I that a fleet of fifteen sail of the line have got Out of Toulon. This Heel, the destination of ‘rhich is under stood to be Palermo, is Waled to have a nunitc.r Of troops on board. The news we have received from the North is important, Ilanitiitrgh Papers to the 11111, and letters from Holland tr, the 13th, containing. intelligence from Paris to the 9th, have conic to hand. The most active co-olq,ra ion is displayed, by the Danes in preparations for the invasion of Sweder. The magnitude of the force which is marching against Ih:A t. unhappy country, SOOlll4 to appal the writers in the f o reign journals. Holstein is now tilled with French troops: mu t . Itendsberg, the residence of the King of Denmark, is occi pied by them. The force under 11 __ERNADOTTE will, it is said, amount to 70,000 men ; and the invasion of Sweden is expected to take place at four or five ditterent points. No hope of salvation seems to be entertained for Sweden, except in extraordinary assistance from Great Britain. It is stated, that in this extremity, the King of SWEDEN has made proposals for Peace, and has offered to guarantee the neutrality of the Baltic ; or even, according to some accounts, to tvigage for the exclusion of English ships from the Baltic ; hut on time other hand, if his terms are refused, that he has threatened every kind of devastation which British fleet can calictuate, on the shores of the Baltic. This inelaneho!y prospect receives but too - strong con firmation from the facts which have transpired from etticial quarters at home. Dispatches were received on Friday at the Office of the 'i:cretary of State for the Foreigst Depart. 1
