Ills Royal Majesty's yacht ,lniarlis, at anchor oir Granboda, Oct. 6. Ins Royal Majesty has received the following report from Adjurint:General Baron Boye : " Having been ordered by your Majesty to take the command of the second division of the tiotithern Finnish Army, the main 'aildy of which was at NViais, I immediately proceeded to that place; one battalion of the regimont of Warnern had been left Ifelving, to cover the magazine, and another battalion of the y;one regiment was ordered to march with one 3-pounder to Wai,:ari-hridge, in order to protect the armv's rear on the side of Lokalax. The rest, or main :my, po,le(1 near \Vials, con ki.:,ted of three !mullion.; of foot guards, two battalions of the regiment of Kronotierg, one battalion of the regiment of West mainland, with tine 6-pounder, four howitzers, and one th tee romnder ; two sytadroni of huge guards joined the army war Jirwenpoa. . . The 28th, in the morning, certain intelligence was receired, that during the night the enemy had been considerably re-in forced by troops arrived in waggons from Winkoln, Loki)laz, and Abo, and taken up a position with his whole force at the di-tance of about a quarter of a mile from \Vials. " Under these circumstances no other expedient was left than to drive the enemy from his position by means of a vigorous at tack, for the successful issue of which it became necessary to turn hi; flank, on account of his great superiority in number.— I accordingly detached Lieut.-Col. Lazerbriag, with two battal lions of foot, to march by Hart's and Nopperla to limida, iu order to attack the enemy's rear near POLISift. This detach ment, which, from the badness of the road, could not be accom panied by artillery, filed off accordingly, and at one o'clock, when it could be supposed to have reached the concerted point, I intended to attack the enemy in front, with the whole remain der of my force, penetrate through his centre, break his line with the assistance of the detachment which was to fall upon his rear, and thus to make ourselves masters of his position near Pousta. " All the necessary preparations and arrangements have been made for the execution of the above plan of attack. At ten o'clock a violent musketry fire was commenced on our left flank, which I supposed to be directed against Colonel Lazerbring ; and this supposition was soon confirmed by a report received from our chain of chasseurs, and immediately after by a report from Colonel Lieutenant-Colonel Lazerbring himself, stating, that he was engaged with a strong Russian corps. A t the same t brie the enemy attacked my front with chasseurs and infantry, two pieces of cannon, and two howitzers. I immediately ordered the ba.ttalions to advance, The chasseurs moved to the left, :he regiment of life guards was in the centre, and lie Finnish guards oa the rights. One six.pounder and one howitzer were motimod nu the heights, and the whole line was ordered to make the utmost exertion to repulse the enemy, which order was executed ith alacrity, intrepidity, and success. " The enemy detached thereupon a column against the right wing of our army, which was completely outflanked by the Itussions. I immediately ordered two six-pounders to be mount ed on the right of IYiais , which opened such a violent ale! de structive tire of grape-shot, that the enemy was forced to retreat into the wood. " But soon after I received a report from Lieutenant-Colonel Lazerhring, stating, that from the enemy's vast : , uperiority in numbers, being COlllittually attacked by fresh corps, he was no longer able to cover my left flank, in consequence of which re- Port I was necessitated to order the tro•►ps under my command to retreat, which was done with the utmost order. 1 joined Li eutenant -Colonel Lazerbring, and continued my retrograde movement to Ilelsing, where I found that front an account of the ccemy's vast superiority ia artillery and troops of every de bcription—nothing else was left them but to re-etnhark ; this was done accordingly, and the transpo►ts set sail sitcce—ively fur Lehmakurko Sound. " According to the statement of the Russian I )(beer; and soldiers taken during the action, the enemy's strength amounted to 12,000 men and 40 pieces of artillery. I humbly beg leave to assure your Majesty, that all the troops under n►} command per formcdtheir duty with great gallantry and spirit."

Bellwood, having paid a visit to the fair at Steyn ing, in a whisky, had returned from thence bet ween six Mid seven o'clock in the evening, and were proceeding along the ('till', in the front of the toss n, to their residence on the Marine Parade. They had just reached the opening by the Gun w here some boys were imprudently diverting themselves with letting tilt' rockets, squibs, &c. one of which, we believe by acrident, exploded very near to the horse. The animal was so alarmed by this circumstance, that he became tonnanageabl-, and dashing furiously forward, brought himself in contact with a brewer's dray. Stunned by the shack, he lust:wily dropped, the chaise being as suddenly overturned.
