By command of the Postmaster-General the following notice has been issued to the public- : ' " General Post-office, August, 1854. "1. The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to in crease, from two to three ounces, the weight allowed for publications bearing newspapers stamps, but not being strictly -newspapers, which are permitted to pass through the post under the newspaper privilege. "2. Their lordships have thought it necessary, at the same time, to lay down the following regulations, viz.:— " 1. That no such publication shall be permitted to pass under the newspaper privilege unless it be so folded as to expose to view the newspaper stamp. " 2. That no such publication shall have any cover or outside wrapper (a loose cover being of course allowe(► for the address), and that the stamp shall be affixed to the title-page, or any other page of the publication (provided it be exposed to view when folded), which page shall form a part of the sheet of paper on which the publication is printed. - - "3. In every instance in which the foregoing regula tions aro not complied with, or the weight of 3 oz. is exceeded, the publication will not be allowed to pass under the newspaper privilege, !mit will be charged with the unpaid' rate of letter postage, and, if it exceed the weight of 4 oz. will be sent to the dead letter . office ; and it will be the duty of postmasters to enforce the above conditions st ictly. "4. To ensure as far as possible a compliance with these regulations, not only when stamped publications are in the first instance transmitted through the post, but also upon any subsequent posting of them, it ip suggested that they should have a short notice to purchasers printed on the title-page, drawing attention to the necessity of exposing the newspaper stamp to view whenever they are sent through the post. _ "5. As publications of this _kind cannot be forwarded to places abroad under the 'newspaper privilege unless they be posted within seven days from the date of publication, it is necessary that they should in every case have the date of publication conspicuously printed upon them. " 6. It is advisable that no stamped publication, if it nearly approach to the prescribed limit of weight, should be posted in a damp state ; as whilst in that condition it may be found to exceed 3 oz., and, therefore, be liable to charge. "7. In order to afford opportunity to the proprietors of stamped publications for complying with these regulations, they will not be carried into effect until the Ist Novetu ter next. " 8. It must be understood that the formal permission of the Postmaster-General will still be necessary in the first instance, in order to the transmission of any stamped pub lication not strictly a newspaper, through the post under the newspaper privilege. "9. No stamp will be required on any supplement to the publication entitled Lloyd's List, provided such publica tion bear a newspaper stamp, and the supplement be sent with it, "ROWLAM? HlLL, Secretory." - ' ,--- 71 ' ' ''.:'' . '' Y . ' .. ... ''' 7 1 . ..

Adams, Star and Garter, Kew-bridge ; and Mr. J. Kirby, White Lion, Putney, waited on Sir Richard Mayne, at Scotland-yard, to state the grievances inflicted upon them and- upon the public by the operation of the new act, and to take; his opinion as to the meaning of the word "traveller.", Mr. Hinton, Highbury Barn, and Mr. Conquest, Eagle Tavern, although unable to attend, concurred in the ob ject of the deputation. Mr. T. B. SIMPSON introduced the deputation, and stated their object to be to take Sir Richard's advice as: to the best mode of proceeding under the new act, and to show how seriously it interfered, not with their in terests, but with the recreations and comforts of the public. Mr. LICE wished to call the commissioner's attention to the hardship that had been inflicted in his case. His customers were principally gentlemen who came more= distinctly under the designation of travellers than those who had been so defined by Mr. Long in his decision re specting Jack Straw's Castle. He had requested some of them to put down their names in a book, and to stet e their opinions of the new act, and he begged the com missioner to look over it. (Mr. Luce here produced a book containing the signatures of persons from almost all parts of the world—Cairo, Turin, United States, Ire land, Scotland, Germany, &0., who having visited his house on Sundays since the passing of the act, protested in various languages against its inconvenience and op presive character.) These parties all applied to him for refl'eshment as travellers, and his object in attending there was to ask the commissioner in how far the inspec tor was justified in summoning him for supplying them. executive—to all e t t t h Sir R. MAYNE said that it was the duty of the police to obtain cases for the decision of the magistrates. His" obeyed. It was for the magistrates to decide on the see es hthadat come the last law from was proper interpretation of the law. With respect to the e traveller's book which Mr. Luce had produced, the pro- London. He had not the slighse r s t di e out the law i n an inconvenient or. P°81 " 1-tc carry oppressive manner, but it was important that the m ean i ng of the word "tra veller" should be decided by the proper tribunals. He ' was sorry if trade was inconvenienced, but he should not be doing his duty did he not bring the cases before the magistrates. [PRICE SD. Mr. Luca said he supposed that in districts where the magistrates had decided the police would not again interfere. The COMMISSIONER said it was not for him to say. If a number of magistrates decided the same way, it would of course be a guide to him in carrying out the acts. Mr. LucE observed that, from the mode in which th• act had been hurried through Parliament, at the close of the session, one half the public were not aware of its pro visions. Sir IL MANE repeated that he had nothing to do with that matter. His duty was to see the law exe cuted; but it was no part of his intention to have it carried out in a harsh or oppressive manner. He had told the superintendent to caution Mr. Luce on last Sunday that he was infringing the law, and he intended to take the opinion of the magistrate. By that opinion he, of course, would be guided in future proceedings. Mr. LUCE wished to take Sir Richard's opinion as to whether, the police having obtained sufficient evidence of the infringement of the law in his coffee room on Sun day last, they were justified in insisting upon entering private rooms, when parties were at dinner. Sir R. MAYNE said that that depended on the circum stances of the case. He would cause inquiry to be made. Police officers had a right to do many things from which they refrained, as his instructions to them always was to carry out the law with as much moderation as possible. Mr. T. B. SIMPSON said that his case differed some what from that of Mr. Luce, but equally showed the unfair operation of the act. Indeed, he believed that if. Parliament had known the real nature of the case they would never have passed it at all. Sir R. MAYNE asked whether it had not been brougLt in by Mr. W. Patten'. Mr. B. SIMPSON—Yes, he h4d endeavoured to con form to the act as much as possible, but last Sunday had not been able to please the inspector. He had closed all the bars, and had ceased to serve customers before 10 o'clock-, but found it imposbibe to clear the people out for 20 minutes after. The inspector said he must report, but be (Mr. Sinipso: ) wanted to know how he was to clear 1,500 people out of his grounds in less than 20 minutes. * He had been told that at Gravesend the act was set at open defiance, and that at the Star and Garter, Richmond, business was carried on just as usual. The inspector had told him he must clear out at 10, as an example to his neighbours, but it should be recol lected that they had pr , bably to clear out only 12 feet square, while he had 12 acres. They might have 20 people to remove, while he had 1,500. The inspector further asked him why the house could not be cleared on Sunday as well as on Saturday night; but his answer was, that in one case the people knew the law, and thought it just ; in the other, they did not, and thought the curtailment of their liberty unreasonable. On Satur day night the bell rang, and in five minutes every one was out ; but on Sunday, on the same signal, there was almort an chicute in the grounds, so angry were the pub lie at what they considered to be an arbitrary and tyran nical restriction. They yelled, hooted, and tumbled the lamps and glasses about. He had had averages of 7,000, 8,000, and 10,000 people at Cremorne on Sunday after• 'loons, and order and decorum were preserved by ORO policeman. These crowds were no drunkards, but respect able members of the community, who, having saved their money during the week, came out to enjoy the fresh air on Sundays. Sir R. MAINE said he could himself speak to the pod order which prevailed in Cremorne-gardens, but the question they had now to consider was, that there was a certain law, and they must conform to it. He should think, however, that if the sale of liquors was honestly closed at ten o'clock, a reasonable time might be allowed by the police for clearing the grounds. He meant, of course, a bona fide closing ; as the law might be evaded by buying a large quantity just before the time. (Sir R. Mayne then sent for the summoning book, .and showed that although several summonses had been issued, the cases did not agree with that described by Mr. Simpson.) Mr. KIRBY (White Lion, Putney) said that on last Sunday he had several gentlemen come to his house in broughams and phaetons, who .ordered. dinner. They also wanted wine and ale, and he wished to know who ther he should be justified in supplying them , Sir R. 111A.YNE declined giving any opinion on th construction of an act of parliament. All he had to was to see the law executed. Mr. KIRBY said that one-half the public were aware that such a law had been passed. ,The fact was, that the whole trade had been " sold" by the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, which was governed by about a dozen gin -shop keepers in London, whose busi ness was quite different from that of sutiurban hotels. Ho was obliged to lay in poultry, fish, and other perish able food, and if not allowed to sell them on Sunday they would all be dead loss. Mr. ADAMS (Star and Garter) said he had a table d'hote on Sundays for respectable people coming from London. All the food would be lost, if he were obliged strictly to obey the late act. Sir R. MAINE said that these cases might be hard ships, but the question for him to ascertain was, what the law was, and to have it executed. lie wished•ths►t done as moderately as possible, and for that reason ha d suggested the taking of all power from the common in former. The summonses were now all applied for by - the police, and he refused more than he granted. The deputation then withdrew, having first thanked Sir Richard Mayne for the great courtesy with which they had been received. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1854. THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert will be all ataunt. with top gallant masts sent an-end,' on Saturday next, the 26th inst. (the al , niversary day of the birth of his Royal Highness Princ, Albert.) She will, if the tides permit, be put out of dock en the came day, if not on Monday follow ing. Her steam machinery department Will be quite ready by that time. The crew of the Impregnable, 104, Captain Wise, in Hamoaze, rove • life lines on Moirlay for exercise of the crew, preparatory to the arrival of the Lords of the Admiralty. Colossiis, 80, Captain R. S. Robinson, has got every thing on board except powder. She will now paint outside, and with another 150 blue jackets is ready for any service in 24 hours. She has stowed 290 tons of coals, and has fund more room for provisions than could have been expected. She has picked up lots of Atholl men. The frigate Inconstant, 36, has been towed from her moorings in Hamoaze to the jetty of the Devonport dockyard to be jury-rigged and htted as a receiving ship for Queenstown. 'the Eslc, 20, screw steam corvette, recently launched from the shipbuilding. yard of John Scott Russell and Company, with all her machinery on board, and one of Griffith's screw propellers in its proper place, was taken into dock at Woolwich, to be coppered and made ready for commission. The Malacca is completing her stock of coal§ at Sheer ness from the brig Porcia, of Colchester. More iron ballast is being sent off to bring her down to her intended displacement in the water. A number of the blue jackets, since receiving their advance, have been on'liberty on shore. The men are most punctual in their return at the expiration of their leave, and they express a wish that they may be sent where they can do their duty to their country and their officers. The Harrier, 16, new screw sloop, was removed from the steam-factory basin at Portsmouth yesterday, and placed alongside the dockyard for facility orequipment. Commander Story had not arrived yesterday to commis sion her. The Salamander, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Priest, hauled out of the factory-basin yesterday morning to the stream in the harbour, to have her compasses adjusted. The Spy brigantine had her compasses adjusted yes terday (by swinging ship), under tne directions of Mr. John C. Barlow, master of the Formidable, guard-ship of ordinary. _ The Rhadamanthus, paddlewheel steam store vessel, Master Commander Belam, has been sent into the basin at Woolwich to take on board a portion of the machinery of the Exmouth, 91, screw steamship at Devonport, and convey it to that pod. She left the Melampus, 42, frigate, at Pembroke, as it is now doubtful if that ship will proceed to Glasgow to bring round the machinery said. to have been made by Napier for the Russian Go vernment. Mr. Napier states that the engines in ques tion were never intended to be sent to Russia, and, therefore, they are not liable to be seized by the British Government. The Black Eagle, Master-Commander Petley, arrived on Monday evening with some of the Lords of the Ad miralty from Weymouth. The Vivid, steam-vessel, arrived in harbour yesterday morning from the eastward. The American packet sailed from St. Helen's roads yesterday morning for New York. to the invalid depot, St. Alary's Barracks, to be disposed of by the decision of a Chelsea board. THE COAST GUARD BRIGADE. The supernumeraries who have joined the Coast Guard service in the place of those who have been sent abroad, are daily exercised with the long gun exercise at Sheer ness, under the superintendence of Lieut. Hosken, of the Garrison Point station. The result from the" daily training is, that tbe-e men, many of whom a week ago bad never seen a gun, can now go through all their evolutions, and fire with great precision. • MAILS. FOR THE BALTIC. Mails for the Holyrood hired steam transport have arrived at Sheerness for the Baltic fleet. She was expected there yesterday. A. countermanding order gives until the 26th instant to make up her mails at that post-office. No official intimation has been given by the authorities there of her intended arrival. However, a number of persons rotiding there, having relatives and friends serving in the Baltic fleet, are snaking the necessary preparations to avail themselves of this opportunity of communicating with their relatives and friends. There ate many families there who have fathers, and some two or three their sons, now fighting the battles of their country, and it is only by a side-wind report they are enabled to know when opportunities offer to send either letters or newspapers out to them. Some thousands of pence might be added to the Postmaster-General's receipts if only publicity were given when ships are to call there for mails for the Baltic or Black Sea fleets. MISpELLANEOVS. The Princess Alice, formerly one of the Dover mail steam-packets, having been thoroughly refitted, was taken out of the basin yesterday to moorings in the stream. •• THE 46TH REGIMENT.—Lieut. G. F. Greer, of this regiment, is the son of the late William Jackson Greer, J.P., of Rhone Hill, county Tyrone, and not, as has been stated, the son of Mr. Greer, of Portstewart, county Derry. His Imperial Brazilian Majesty's steam-sloop Gequi tinhouha, Captain Lemare, recently built in the Thames, arrived in Plymouth from London on Thursday, and, having coaled, sailed on Saturday for Rio Janeiro. Mr. W. H. Skinner, clerk's assistant (first appoint ment) has taken up his appointment, and joined the Wellesley guard-ship of Ordinary, at Chatham. THE MILITIA. The 3d West York Light Infantry, at present sta tioned in Dublin, were inspected on Monday in heavy marching order, by Major-General Cochrane, com manding the garrison, on the esplanade facing the Royal barracks. The regiment was formed in line at 11 o'clock a.m., when the Major-General arrived, accom panied by his staff, and was received with the usual honours, Colonel F. Loftus commanding. THE INVASION AND CONQUEST OF FINLAND BY LUSSIA. 1808-1809. [The Moniteur of Sunday, the 20th inst., contains the following account of the conquest of Finland by Rus sia. At the present moment a peculiar interest attaches to this event ; but what. has principally moved us to devote so much of our space to the narrative is the con viction that there is an arriere-pensee in its publication in the Moniteur just at this time.] Russia had been for some time vainly endeavouring to persuade Sweden to unite with herself and Denmark for the purpose of closing the Balticagainstthe English. Sud debly, without any declaration of war, without even waiting for the answer to the last summons, she invaded Finland. The ultimatum spoken of was the subject of a note dated the 22d of February, 1808, and, the evening before, the Russian troops had passed the -fron tier of the two states. The invasion of Finland, during a time of profound Peace, is one of a class of acts at the commission of which Russia never hesitates. It is a proceeding similar to that of the occupation of the Prin cipalities of the Danube in 1853. Finland, covered with lakes, marshes, and hills, with rocks a:!d forests, contains a population of scarcely 1,200,000 souls, scattered over a supeificies of about 58,000 square miles. Its present boundaries are the Gulf of Bothnia on the west, Norway on the north, the governments of Archangel, and Olonetz, and the Lake Ladoga on the east, and the Gulf of Finland on the south. It stretches almost to the gates of St. Peters burg. In 1808 it was separated from Russia by Rus sian Finland—that is to say, by that part ,of the grand duchy of Finland which the treaties of peace of Nistad, in 1721, and of Abo, in 1743, had taken from it on the other side of the river Kymen. These acquisitions did not satisfy Russia, which from the time of Peter I. had ardently coveted the possession of the whole of Finland. The neighbourhood of the Swedish province was a source both of trouble and anxiety% The Emperor Alexander could not forget that in theyear 1788, during the last war with Sweden, Gustavus 111., at the head of nearly 40,000 men in Finland, had thrown Petersburg into the greatest consternation, and that the court had determined to seek refuge in Moscow. The shores of Finland are the part of the country 'most densely populated, but at the same time its vulne rable side. Although defended by fdrts and numerous lines of military communications, they are not the less accessible to attacks of an enemy who is master of the sea. Such an enemy might cut off these com munications by landing detachments of troops, and assist a Swedish army to recover the country. This as sistance would be the more powerful, as it would be, ac cording to all probability, assured of the assistance of the population, generally hostile to Russia, and tired of its domination. The configuration of a territory so circumstanced as Finland gave to this province at the time of the Russian invasion great natural means of defence. It was pre pared, as if on purpose, for a war of detail. But at the very commencement these advantages were paralysed by the plan acted upon by the defenders of retiring before the enemy, in accordance with the formal a!:d impera tive orders of the whimsical and presumptuous Gustavus IV. The instructions, in fact, given by the King to Count Klingsporr, general-in- c hi e f o f th e arm y o f Fin land, on th e 3d of February, in anticipation of a coming rupture on the part of Russia, prescribed the relinquish ment of the country at the approach of the enemy. The Swedish army was compos e d on ly of its Finnish regiments, all co mmun i cation with Sweden being cut off by the ice in th e G u lf o f Bothnia. The lakes and rivers which in summer form such powerful obstacles to an ad vancing army, were frozen to a depth which enabled them to bear artillery on their surface, and the shores themselves of the Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland lined with ice prevented the approach of all maritime assist ance. Swedish Finland was thus left to itself, a province contending against an empire. Acting on these considerations, the King, in the in structions to Count Klingspori, charged him to restrict himself to saving as much of the army as could be saved, to throw into Swarthohn and Sweaborg as many troops as these planes would hold, and to cause the remainder to retreat towards East Bothni a in the best order that might be possible, until other measures should be taken at the opening of the navigation for reconquering the coun try. This, however, was looking at things on one side only. No consideration was given to the fearful obsta- Ides which the Russians themselves would experience from the ,extreme rigou r of the climate that year, when the cold was so intense that the thermometer stood at 30 degree. , (centigrade), an d when the snows lay six feet deep. The severity of s uc h a temperature, the want of resting-places, and the extrem e poverty of the country were preparing terrible troubl es and great sufferings for I an m • y so badly clothed as that of Russia, without ' magazines and demoralised by recent reverses in the campaign of Friedland. The Russian army, divided into three columns, and eoniananded by Count Buxhowden, who had under him Generals Raieswoki, Suchtelen, author of a narrative of the war, Bagration, Toutclikoff, game ns ki and others, crossed the river Kytnen, the bou n d ary 2 of the two states, at Abeifors, Stromborg, and Keltis, the 21st of July, 1808. It was proceeded by two proclamations ad dressed, one to the Finns, the other to the Swedish army. The first announced, without antemt at proof, however, that the Emperor of Russia y was driven by the conduct of the King of Sweden, and by rations of the safety of his own kingdom, to place Fin land under his own protection and take possession of it. The second excited the army to defection and de sertion. Gustavus IV., when he heard of this aggression on the part of a power but yesterday his ally, very impro perly replied to it by a violation of the rights of nations. On the 3d of March, 1808, he ordered the arrest of the Russian Minister at Stockholm, M. d'Alopceus. The Emperor Alexander took care not to imitate this pro. ceeding, but he seized the opportunity to declare to Europe that he was incorporating with hi s own states that part of Finland which his troops had already con quered. This was unmasking the intention of the war, and the covetousness which occasioned it. The Russian General-in-Chief, Buxhowden, advanced rapidly towards Tavasthus, where Count Klingsporr, who had come from Stockholm, was posted with 5,000 men. The Swedish general, Klercker, disputed the approach step by step, and bad made every preparation for a battle; but Klingsporr, not daring to assume the responsibility of cbntravening the positive orders of his sovereign, an d forming an exaggerated estimate of the force of the Rus sians, retreated and abandoned without striking a blow, nearly the whole of Finland to the enemy. The Russians hand nothing to do then, but to march forward. The south and centre of Finland, the island of Aland and Gothland, fell thus into their hands at the commence ment of April, 1808. The war wag not terminated. Count Klingsporr had retreated, it is true, towards the north, but he had pre served the important part of his army. Hi s march was not interrupted, and his line of retreat was not cut off. An hostile return on his part might any day change the situation. In order to avert this danger, and to put an end to it, Count Buxhowden had thrown forward all his forces in the direction of Uleaborg, with orders to attack' the enemy wherever they should come up with him. But Klingsporr after having continued his march by Limango and Brahestad, all of a sudden assumed the offensive, and gained a marked advantage at Sika jockt in a contest which 'was the first truly serious-affair of the campaign. Then recommencing his retreat almost immediately, he concentrated his army on Luzuijocko and Limango, whilst the Russians did the same near Brahestad and Karikinda, above Brahestad. On the 27th of April, assuming the offensive a second time, the Swedis% general completely defeated the Russians at Revolax, where General Boulatoff was wounded and made prisoner. Five days afterwards, on the "2d of May, Col. Sandels cut in pieces a Russian corps atPul killa, north of Saint Michel, in the Savolax, and carried off a whole park of artillery. He also recaptured Kuopio. Klinzsrorr, on his side, reoccupied Brahestad, which had been evacuated by Toutchkoff on the report of an in surgent movement manifesting itself at various points. After having taken a fortified position on the north bank of the Pyhajocki, he pushed forward a reconnaissance towards Kijana, in Eastern Finland, whilst Toutcbkoff fortified himself at Himango and Gamle Carleby. The Swedish army, reinforced by troops from Sweden, reck oned then about 18,000 men . H owever , it was the time when the frost sets in, and when the snow falls, and all important operations were obliged to be suspended ; Colonel Sandels alone surmounting every obstacle, con tinued his course in Eastern Finland. He spread so much alarm that it was necessary not only to send to the spot, with the greatest precipitation, the troops located in the environs of St. Petersburg, in order to cover Nys lott, but also to despatch a division which advanced in all haste to Kuopio. It had also been found necessary to detach a portion of th e cor p s o f cava l ry bl oc k a di ng Swcaborg, to defend and keep in order the country of Heinola. Sweaborg, a place of the first rank and importance, was on the eve of capitulation. On the Bth of May it surrendered, although it was not at all proved that the resistance might not have been prolonged. This was a valuable indemnification to the Russians for the reverses which they were then experiencing. The Swedes, in their turn, retook the islands of Goth land and Aland. They failed, however, in other expedi tions despatched from Swedish ports. The most impor tant of these failures were the expeditions directed against Abo and Vasa. In revenge Count Klingsporr ordered an attack on Ny-Carleby, which wa s taken by General Adlerkreuz and Colonel Grippenburg, in spite of the vigo rous resistance of General Jaukowitch. During this time General Barclay de Telly had ad vanced from Nyslatt and Wilmaustraudt, through the Savolax, driving before him Sandels, whom he had forced to evacuate Kuopio, and marching onwards to join Raiewski, who had replaced Toutchkoff in command of the troops destined to hold Klingsporr in check. The 'Russians were desirous of forcine. the Swedish general back upon Toneo, on the other side of the Gulf of Both nia. But two vigorous, though fruitless, attacks made by Sandels, on the 25th and 27th of June, against Kuopio, which had been left in charge of General Rak manoff, determined Barclay de Tolly to return to that town to reinforce the troops in occupation, and to watch over his defence himself. From the 30th of June he was attacked there by the Swedes, and •he only suc ceeded in repulsing them after a murderous contest. At this period Raiewski, deceived in his hopes of being rejoined by Barclay de Tolly, who had contented him self with sending him two regiments, threatened in front by the superior force of Klingsporr, and renderedanxious by insurrections which had just broken out along the whole coast to the south of Wasa, evacuated that town on the Ist July, and concentrated the main body of his troops on Salmi to cover the centre of Finland. On the 2d, Colonel Wlastoff, who was bringing him the two regiments despatched by Barclay de Tully, de feated Col. Fiaudt at Hindulaks. Fiaudt, attacked on the 11th at Perko, by Jaukowitch, was repulsed in the direction of Gamle Carleby. On the Bth Raiewski had dislodged a Swedish regiment from Happo ; he then fell back towards Tavasthas, and took up a position at Alavo on the 19th of July. There being harassed by a partisan corps under the orders of a sergeant of the name of Root, seeing his communications intercepted, and his convoys seized, and in danger of being cap tured with his corps, he made a hasty retreat upon Ta vasthus. On the Gth and 13th of July other expeditions from Sweden made two attempts to get possession of Kris tiniestad, on the south-west coast. Each time the Swedish forces were driven back to their vessels by Colonel Orloff Amisoff, who was occupyieg Kristiuiestad and Kasco on the shore, and Kauhajocki in the interior. On the 20th of July the Russians defeated, at the foot of the bridge at Finnstrom, a corps of insurgents, sup ported by the troops of the garrison of `Vasa, which the Swedes bad just re• occupied. On the 27th they were beaten at Kauhajocki. At the same time the Swedish naval force effected a new landing at Kristinie stad, their troops took possession of this town for the third time, but they were for the third time driven out again. At length Kauhajocki, retaken by Orloff Deni soff, is reconquered on 2d August by the Swedes. We see that up to this time the successes were about equal on both sides, and that the Swedes could only be con quered by a superior force. The Russian army, in fact, was receiving daily numerous reinforcements—its forces increased every day, whilst those of Sweden were weak ening by the efforts made during their heroic but un equal resistance. On the Ist of September, General Kamenski marched towards Sippola, at the head of a very considerable body of troops. Klingsporr immediately evacuated Wasa, and fell back on Gainle Carleby. Attacked by Kamenski at Orawais, he was defeated a ft er a p ar ti a l success in the most bloody battle of the war. From that time, despairing of regaining Finland with the feeble resources which remained, he *turned to Stock holm to make known the situation to the King Gusta vus IV., who would not listen to his representations. When he left he had given up the command of his army to the old General Klercker. Kamenski advancing along the Gulf of Bothnia, drove this army from position to position to Brahestadt. The Swedish army was sta tioned at Salo, Palo Savolax, and Pea lsocki—the van guard at Piebangi. It had iuffered cruelly in the retreat. Reduced to 6,000 men, by fatigue, sickness, and misery, getting no subsistence from the sea, which was covered with ice, deeply discouraged, and unable to make head against an enemy so superior in strength, it was placed in the most critical situation. Its generals deeming, therefore, resistance no longer possible, deter mined to communicate with Kamenski ' for the purpose of treating of the e vacua ti on o f Finland. They obtained at first, on the 16th of November, 1808, a suspension of arms for two days, on the condition of abandoning Brahestadt, and of pushing back their vanguard to Olki jocki. On the 29th a convention was signed, in virtue of which they evacuated the part of the shore which they still held, and retreated to Tornea. The armistice was to terminate on the 27th of December—it was after wards prolonged indefinitely. But the Emperor Alexander disapproved of these ar rangements. Availing himself of the thickness of the ice which covered the Gulf of. Bothnia in the month of January, 1809, he prepared an expedition for. the pur• pose of taking the Aland Islands. At the same time he ordered General Schowaloff, first, to denounce the ar mistice, and then to drive back the remains of the S wedo- Finnish armies upon the western coast of the Gulf of Bothnia, and to advance into Western Bothnia by way of Tornea and Pitea. The two corps d'armee commenced their march in the month of March, 1809. The Aland Isles were defended by General Dobelu, and attacked by 'the corps of Bagration. The Swedish forces, although bard pressed, made an obstinate resistance. But Dobelu, informed by a courier of the revolution at Stockholm— which had just overturned the throne of Gustavus IV. and had placed th e regency o f th e ki ngdom in the hands of the Duke of Sudermania—communicated this event to the Russian generals, and prayed for a suspension of hostilities. This was refused ; and Dobelu, forgotten in the midst of the events that were happening at Stock holm, was soon reduced to the nepessity of a precipitate retreat. In the meantime Schowaloff made himself master of Tornea, and compelled General Grippenberg to sign at Catix, on the 25th March, a convention, by which the remainder of the Finnish army was disbanded, and the whole country between Catix and Tornea ceded to the Russians. Thus ended the war which brought Fin land under the dominion of Russia—a war which, if the measures of the Finnish general had been better pre pared in anticipation of a surprise—if the military forces of Sweden, which, although amounting to upwards of 100,000 fighting men, were yet insufficient for the de fence of Finland; had been more eilectively employed— might have had a very different result. Nay, there is reason to believe, that had it not been for the initial oversight, had it not been for Klingsporr's disistrous retreat before an enemy whom he had never yet fought with, and whom subsequently he vanquished more than once, under circumstances far less favourable, Finland would have remained a Swedish province. The responsibility fell ultimately on the King, Gustavus IV., whose intervention, equally irrational and despotic, crippled the operations of his generals, and was the . principal cause of their reverses. Upon him also fell the penalty. Everybody knows how much the loss of Fin land influenced that national movement which tore from his brow the ancient and glorious crown of Sweden. ODESSA.—Odessa contains about 70,000 inhabitants, lies on the linean or estuary of the little river Peressip, in the Black Sea. The harbour is bad, but the roadstead has some advantages. This town was founded by Cathe rine 11., in 1792, and rose rapidly under the judicicni administration of the Duke de Richlieu, a French emigre, under Alexander. It owes its flourishing condition to the exportation of wheat from Podolia, Bessarabia, and New Russia. The population is very mixed, presenting specimens of most nations subject to and bordering on Russia. There are two harbours, one for Russian ships of war and coasters ; the other the quarantine harbour, for ships comina from the Bosphorus. It has twenty streets, macadamised, or paved with granite. The houses, all built of stone, are very respectable and sub stantial structures. Including its cathedral, it has no fewer than twenty-two churches, sixteen docks, thirty bridges, bazaars, baths, and a theatre. There is also a college, which was founded in 1817, and which, in 1846, had no fewer than thirty-two tutors, and nearly two hundred students. Other educational establishments exist, and are equally flourishing. There is a school for "noble ladies ;" schools of navigation and commerce . an ecclesiastical seminary, and a cabinet of natural his tory. It has open boulev ards , a botanic garden, and several other public gardeut —Russia ; o w p eople, ooun. try, and Government, APPOINTAIENTS. Lieutenant—John'B.

THE GUN-BOATS.-TRIAL OF LANCASTER'S GUN. The Arrow, screw despatch gun-vessel, Lieutenant- Commander Jolliffe, left Spithead yesterday afternoon for the Needle Rocks, Isle of Wight, to test the efficacy of her new and powerful armament. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, in the Victoria and Albert, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman ; the Lords of the Admiralty, with their flag flying in the Black Eagle steam-yacht, Magter-Commander Petley; the Dasher, steam-vessel, Captain Le Febvre, also with a party on board ; the Fairy Royal yacht, with a parry on board ; and the Bee, steam-tender to the Excellent, with Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, Captain Savage, and the whole staff of Excellent on board, and numerous craft from Cowes went to the scene of operations to witness the trial, all returning in the evening. We repeat that there has been altorrether a misunder standing respecting gun-boats for the Baltic, their uses, and their efficiency. The authorities have been igno rantly reproached-Ist, because it has been reported that there are immense numbers of gun-boats in the Baltic ; 2d, because the Admiralty sent out the Jasper, Pigmy, Cuckoo, &c., as gun-boats ; 3dly, because the Admiralty designed a class of vessels which, from their draft of water, would be useless in the Baltic. Now, in the first place, it may be asked, where are these hun dreds .of gun-boats in the Baltic ? Everybody seems to have adopted the notion of their existence, but nobody has ever seen them. But allowing them to exist, what chance have they at the present day with a fleet of which two-thirds are steamers ? Their power and efficiency, their means of annoyance or destruction, were at an end when the first steamer was launched. Secondly, it should be observed, that the Pigmy, Jasper, Cuckoo, and Co., were never fitted out or intended to be used in the Baltic as gun-beats. Sir Charles Napier wanted some old vessels that he could "expend"—some vessels that he could make "fire-ships" of should he require them ; when most aptly for the service the Admiralty patched up those old steamers that had been advertised to be sold, and sent them out to the fleet. Thirdly, the Admiralty never designed the 470-ton vessels Arrow, Beagle, Wrangler, &c., as gun-boats. They always were, and now are, intended to be employed as despatch-boats, but with so powerful an armament as to be useful for heavy gunnery work should they be wanted. The real gun-boats are those in course of construction ; four are being built at Notthfleet and two at Deptford dock yard. They are of 200 tons, and about 60-horse power, high-pressure screw engines, draw less than six feet water, and all have their machinery under the water line, and therefore not exposed to shot. These low, long, eight or nine knots an hour gun-boats will clear the coasts of a myriad of the row gun-boats of the Baltic if they are there.—Morning Herald. MORE RUSSIAN PRIZES. Her Majesty's ship Archer was at Memel on the 18th of August making arrangements for sending home the 14 prizes anchored in that port, taken by her Majesty's cruizers for breaking the blockade of the Russian ports in the Gulf of Finland, (7 naval coast volunteers having come out to work them home to England Yesterday another prize-ship, the Jonge Albert, of which Van der Zee was late the master, taken a prize by her Majesty's steamer Conflict for breaking the blockade of Riga. arrived in the river in charge of Mr. Dickins, from Harlingen, where her cargo was landed by the Dutch authorities. She is to be taken into the West India Docks for condemnation. The Court of Admiralty has reserved its judgment with respect to,the Union, of Flensburg, prize to her Ma jesty's ship Cruiser, for violating the blockade of Riga, it s existence procf that the block a d e was i n f or c e and that existence had been made known. With respect to the Norwegian vessel Nornen, prize to the Archer for break ing the blockade of Mga, the Court of Admiralty has reserved its judgment. In the ease of the Ostzee, Mecklenburg vessel, taken by her Majesty's ship Alban for breaking the blockade of Cronstadt, the Court of Admiralty has pronounced against the seizure, but has refused coats and damages against the Alban for the unlawful detention. THE SUSPICIOUS YANKEE CRUISER GRAPE- SHOT. It is stated that the Grapeshot, a vessel that created some stir by being reported some time since in the Eng- lish Channel as a Yankee privateer, " has cleared out in a roost mysterious manner from New Orleans, with a, cargo of muskets." Our cruisers in the West Indies will doubtless look after this "Grapeshot." If up to any pranks, she will find herself some fine day under range of one of Lancas ter's " canisters." THE CREW OF THE JANUS. The Janus, paddle, Lieut. Kane, is still at her monr ings on the west shore, Sheerness. Her crew have for the present been retained on board ; their ultimate dis posal is not yet known, but they expect still to be drafted to the Indefatigable, for which ship they volun teered. Mr. Fisher, the gunner, upon whom the late court-martial was held for desertion, but acquitted, is likewise on board. RECEIVING-SHIP FOR RUSSIAN PRISONERS. The Devonshire, receiving -ship for Russian prisoners of war, has had the collier Hercules and the water-tank vessel alongside, to complete her store of fuel and water preparatory to the draft of Russian prisoners of war (500) being transferred to her, now on their passage home by the Algiers, 90, screw steam-ship, returning here to take in her lower deck guns, left here for the convenience of receiving French troops for the Aland Islands. DEPARTURE OF THE 34TH REGIMENT. The 1800 tons screw-ship, Mauritius, went out of 'Portsmouth Harbour, yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, with the 34th Regiment on board and one company of Sappers and Miners. They were to lie•to off Osborne, for his Royal Highness Prince Albert to board and inspect them. The gallant soldiers cheered heartily as they left the harbour, and received the same honest compliment from the ships of war and the shore. INVALIDS FROM THE EAST. DetacbriTenis7consistipg of the Greoadier Guards and Coldstreams, with the 33d and 34th Regiment., arrived at Chatham on Monday evening from ~Portsmouth, Rs invalids from Turkey.. The men were examined by the chief medical officer at Fort Pitt, Chatham ; 14 soldiers were taken into hospital, and the remainder were sent OFFICIAL DESPATCHES PROM SIR CHARLES NA PIER. [PROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.] ADMIRA.LTY, AUG. 21. Despatches, o f which the following are copies, have been received from Vice Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Baltic CAPTURE OF TWO TOWERS OF BODIARSUND. No, 354. Bulldog, off Bomarsund, Aug. 16, 1854. SIR,-1. At four o'clock in the morning of the 13th instant the French battery, of four 1 6-pounders and four mortars, opened a splendid fire cn the western tower, which commands the fortress of Bomarsund and the an chorage : a white flag was displayed in the afternoon, which led to nothing ; but on the morning of the 14th the tower was surprised by the Chasseurs. General Jones's battery of 32-pounders was finished in the night and ready to open ; but not being wanted was turned against the eastern tower, and on the morning of the 15th he opened his fire: the •battery was manned by seamen and marine artillery from the f our s hi ps named in the margin*, under the direction of Captain Ramsay, of the Hogue, assisted by Commander Preedy, Lieutenant Somerset, of the Duke of Wellington, and the officerf named in the magin 1'; their fire was beautiful. one side was knocked in, and the tower difficult for the enemy to load their guns ; in the attack on the western tower the Chasseurs ? with enabled to load their guns with more facility. Minnie rifles, were employed so successfully, that it was 3. Our loss has been trifling , one man killed and one wounded, but I have to lament the death of the Honour t surrendered.h2lt I e tl a h s te t seirxn attackl' t . o m we n r we had no Chasseurs, and they were Honour able Lieutenant Cameron Wrottesley, R.E., who was mor tally wounded by a cannon ball, and died twenty minutes after he had been sent to the Belleisle. 4. The enemy had 6 men killed ; 7 wounded, and 125 were taken prisoners. I have sent the latter to the Ter magant. 5. The loss of the French at the western tower was also trifling. 6. Both batteries were admirably constructed and ad mirably fought, which accounts for the small loss. General Jones speaks in high terms of the conduct of the seamen and marine artillery, and the precision of their fire. 7. During the time theoperations weregoing on, Gen. Ba raguay d'Rilliers was employed in establishing his breching batteries against the fortress, and the French and English steamers, as par margiu4: supported by Trident (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Penau), Duperre, Edinburgh, and Ajax, kept up a well-directed fire from their shell guns, and very much damaged the fortress, whilst Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, of the Blenheim, kept up a beau tiful fire from a 10-i nc h gun , l an d e d i n th e battery we had driven the enemy out of a few days before. His position was one of great danger, but the battery was put in such good order by Captain Pelham, that the men were well covered, and he had no loss. 8. The General's breaching batteries will be ready by to-morrow, and they shall be well supported by the ships of-the-line of both nations, anti the steamers. The narrow ness of the ground on which the General has established his breaching battery, very much circumscribes the space ; the greatest caution will bo necessary to prevent firing on his troops, and the little space in the anchorage before Bomarsund, and the intricacy of the nal, igation, will pre vent ships approaching the main fortress so near as could be wished ; but when the batteries 'are established acting in the rear of the fort, and supported by the shell guns in front, it cannot hold out more than a few hours. 9. I have put off to the last moment the departure of the mail, but I shall send an extra courier the moment the fort surrenders. 10. The western tower was fired either by accident or design, I do not know which, and blew up at eleven a.m. yesterday. 11. I am sorry to add that Lieutenant Cowell, Royal Engineers, Aide-de-camp to Brigadier-General Jones, was unfortunately wounded • in the leg by the accidental discharge of his pistol ; he is now on board the Belleisle, doing well, but the loss of his services is much to be regretted.--I have, &c., (Signed) CHAS. NAPIER, Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. The Secretary of the Admiralty. P.S.—A return of the whole of the force landed, and of casualties, will be forwarded by the next opportunity, to gether with an inventory of stores and list of prisoners. SURRENDER OF BOMARSUND. Bulldog, off Bomarsund. August 16, 1854. Sir,—ln continuation of my despatch of this date, I beg you will inform their lordships that, after sending away the mail, the fortress opened a heavy firo on Captain Pelham's battery, which had annoyed them much, and which he maintained all yesterday and to-day, and it is wonderful how he and his men escaped. He had with him Lieutenant Close and Mr. Wildman, mate, of whom he speaks highly. Seeing his position, I immediately ordered the ships and steamers named in the margin,§ who were within range with their 10-inch guns, as well as the French mortars on shore, which had bee n playing on them some time, to give them a shot and shell every five minutes ; and their fire was so well directed that the enemy held out a flag of truce. No. 355. sent Captain Hall (of the Bulldog) on shore, who was shortly joined by Admiral Parseval's Aide-de-Camp, and two of General Baraguay d'Hillier's staff, and the troops in the fortress agreed to lay down their arms and march out. 3. After I had landed I was joined by the French Ad miral and the Commander-in-Chief of the Army ; the pri soners (about 2,000 I believe) were marched out and em barked in steamers, and proceeded to Led Snnd, to Com modore the Hon. Frede r i c k G re y, w h o w ill con d uct t h em to the Downs to await further orders. 4. I beg to congratulate their Lordships on the fall of this important fortress, which will be followed by the the submission of the Garden of Islands, with so small a loss ; and 1 am happy to say the greatest cordiality has subsistdd between the French General and Admiral and myself, as well as between the soldiers and sailors of the two nations. 5. As soon as I can collect a list of the stores captured, it shall be forwarded to their lordships, and a Commissary has been named for that purpose. G. This despatch will be delivered by my Flag Lieute nant (Lieutenant John de Conroy Agnew), whom I beg to recommend to their Lordships for promotion.—l have, &c., (Signed) CHARLES NAPIER, Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.
