The following is an extract of a private toter
front Stockholm, dated the 10th last :—" This
morning a courier arrived at the Royal l'alaoe, with
dispatches from Gen. TC LERCKFR, containing the
pleasing intelligence of a victory over a detach-omit
of the enemy's army. On the ,29th silt. Adjatiut-
Ceneral SANDELS was attacked near Itlensalmi,

sides with great obstinacy for several hours, and at

the number wounded. Among the former is the
gallant and much-regretted General the Prince
Dor.coutvext. Oo our side the loss is conspara-
lively small, there being in killed only 50, and tfio
wounded, among allots are eight odicers. The
force of the Russians was estimated at 5,400 men,
that of the Swedes did not exceed half that -
ber. It has been the lot of the Swedes, though the
a hole of the present arduous struggle, to contend
with double their numbers, and to this is to he
*scribed the great CXCC3S of loss on the part of the
enemy, who owe all the advantages they have gaiued
to numbers and ferocity, and not to superior tactics
or bravery. The Russian Officers who have been
wade prisoners in this affair, and who had served in
the campaign agaiust France, have publicly de-
clared that they newer had opposed to darn so for-
guidable a resistance as that they had recently ex-
perieaced from the Swedes, wis who admit, ithoir
turn, that the Russians fought bravely."
