All communication. by poet or otherwise, be-
tween and Elsineur, is fin. the pre-
seat suspended.
Four travellers arrived.from Denmark yesterday,
the. Lut that of over ; they report that the
Ereach entered Ilolstein on the 4th List. and that
apart'ments were taken at Copenhagetrfor Berna-
dotte when they left it, and as we know that every
vessel in the I.likiti harbours is put in requisition
for the purpose of tmiaporting troops, we may
expect to hear from day to day of the cotunienee-
meat of operations. A considerable number of
troops are marching for this town ; quarters err
already taken for 4000.
The Russian Consul here remains under arrest,
and a guard of 13 men, with an officer, attends his
house. The same has bet..n dune to the Russian
Minister (Alopens). at Stockholm. This vigorous
measure was taken in consequence of the treatment
the Swedish Minister (Stettenck) has received at
St. Peteruburgh, who, some accounts say, has
been 'rent to Moscow.

We hare no accounts this day from Finland that
can be depended upon.
We learn that the ice which was in the Sound
has been nearly entirely destroyed. A north west
wind will totally clear the passage.

His Royal Majesty received yesterday_ afternoon
a Courier from Lieutenant-General Klucker, with
the following Report, dated head-quarter% Ta-
wastchus, Feb. isy:
" 'Fhe enemy haying compelled our advanced posts,
as mentioned in my former report of the 2.5 th inst.
to fall bock from the frontiers, part of the first bri-
gade, parted near Forsby, under the orders of Co-
lonel Gripetiberg, whom I ordered to perform the
functions of Adjutant. General, was attacked on
the 24th inst. early in the morning, by the enemy,
far superior in tree ; and as his corps was in den-
ser of being surrounded, he was forced, after hav-
ing made a wont gallant resistance, to retreat, closely
pursued by the enemy. •
" The second brigade, commanded by Colonel-
Adjutant-General Adlucrenta, Knight, was also
attacked on the 25th, near Artsir, and in the night
between the 27th and 25th inst. near Krim's', by au
enemy's corps greatly superior in number. The
conflict was severe, but counnued with the most dis-
tinguished xalour, and the enemy was repulsed,
"The communication between the two brigades
' being intereepted by the retreat of the corps, which
has bean posted near Forshy, I was obliged to or.
der the second brigade to change its position, by
which movement high brigades hare come nearer
this city ; the former by Meureia, and the latter
be Laiheis ; and the leftwing of the second brigade
being joined by the regiment of East Bothnia, the
whole corps uoss occupies a more sioncentrated po-
sition.

" All these operations engaged so mach the aitaa
thin of the army, and took up to much of our titne,
that it was impossible to drive away all the eagle,
and remove the provisions, as 1 intended should he
done ; yet the loss of magazines. as well as that of
killed and wounded, is but very trifling on out
part ; nor have we lost say officer*, except Lieutc.
uautsColonel Sjernwall, who was takeu prisoner,
and not one piece of our ordnance has falleu tots,
the eieiny's bands. 1 humbly beg leave to aib
that both officers and men of your Majesty's mow
in this quarter, have done their duty in the in„,t
distinguished manner; usr have the lave aid
treacherous attempts of the enemy to beduoe
them from their loyal attachment to their Kin
and Country, wade the slightest impression upon,
them. 4. C. N. of %. xuacaxii."
