We are &assured that the Swedish seliliets cried

this anecdote he true or not. it is certain, that the
Swedes shew but little ardour in the .ante, which
is rather that of England.
The English who occupy the Danish Islands of

A Report, dated the 17th, has been received from
Major-Uentral Count Ablteld, the commander in
Luigi-laud, stating, that about two o'clock in the
morning of that day, the cateuiy, consisting of two
barks had two sloop, approached Fraukelint, in
chase of an iceboat, which was retnniing front Cor-
soer. Notwitlestanditi4 the heavy tire which they
kept up, the ice-boat escaped, cad got in sate. The
enemy them made for Lochals, with the intention
of cutting out or destroying eight large boats king
.there. llut a compaoy of soldiers, stationed at
Feankelito, getting limier arms on the first alarm,
proceeded thither, :nod, after a contest of three
hours, compelled the enemy to ahandoa their en-
terprise. Their loss must have liscii considerable,
as one of the vessels is known to have had aka men
killed in thus affair. •
The Natal Lieutenant Pamemann has carried
into Chtistiansand the Swedish three-masted vessel
Fortreendet, laden with timber. £n English vessel,
with her masts corniest away, and without any one
on board, has been towed into Fahratunl.
It is poAtively stated that the English, under the
pretence of a condemnation in England being ne-
cessary, had sent off from Gottenburglo the ten ves-
sels laden with corn, captured off Flaslstnind, con-
trary to the request of the Swedish Government,
who offiered to it/umbrae them at the highest price,
and that this *intensited conduct less given very
great offence to the Swedes.

tract from a Proclamatiou Rublished at delsingforr
by the Russian Co ii.inatoler in Chief, requiring the
Officers in the arm♦ of Finland to return home,
that country being now conquered. This extract
was transmitted by the Swedish I(lentral, and has
been published in The Stockholm Gazette, probabty
to prevent alarm in Sweden, and chew that the
Russia:is hail no idea of extending their conquest

I'he inactivity of the English Expedition, u

political circlvs: It is siod that it was originally in-
tended to co-operate with the Swedish tinny it* the
itivasiast of Norway, but that, immediately upon its
onitel in the Cattegat, a deputation was sent, com-
prising several of the principal Nobility of Norway,
proposing to withdraw from their connection a ith
Ikinnark ; to declare themselves neutral ; to open
all their ports to the British ship*, mid to place the
commercial intercourse between the two countries
upon the suns footing as it was previous to the air,
provided that Britain would not employ her
forces against them. They proposed farther,
to make pease with Sweden, and to afford her
such supplies of gntiii, &e. as their mesas might
admit, or her warts require, eechuinw at the
saute tune, their determination to perish ra-
ther than submit to the domination of Swell,.

neral indignation and horror which the unprovoked
atrocity of N•Poutots's conduct towards tn.,.
