Poport front Admiral Baron Puke
" The Jammer frigate 'noised here yesterday, with the
six gunboats which were nem I-itea. Major Hunsanlf,
Captain of a frigate, reports, that on the ordh he set sail
with the same frigate from Ratan, and arrived at ive o'clock
in the anemone et Bites-Holm, at the south entrance of the
Without. Ile found that the enemy occupied there a
strong position ; bat ormertheless resolved to push on with
the guts-boats to the bridge, in order to destroy it, and by
this ammo weal sir the enemy's retreat. For this purpose
the bin* led on the gun-boats, placing himself at their
bend, in as amasd boat, and on this occasion experienced
Iliss =birettas,* of being badly wounded. Captain Joyr-
ide, who anewsded in the command, now advanced
against the Addy ; the destruction of which was, how-
ever, mitered impassible, by the enemy having assem-
bled near it • very susporier forte, which forced our thitil:t
to retreat. Our loss ii this action coneists in six killed
and seventeen wunooleil ; among whom are Major•Hummolf,
and Litonensat Munk. The less of the enemy, whose force
aansistod of nos me., is far more considerable, the timber
-et his wounded being from sixty to seventy. The
tirsl Liestenwit of the Jammu frigate now commands
that ship. This ofilear, whose same la Sielander, reports,
that imam with of last innintb, at three o'clock in the after-
tastes., he descried a donna of 13 Russian boats, chasing
two detached Swedish sloops, which retreated to the fri-
gate. The latter immediately eat the cable si.d cleared fur
faction, but when she came in sight of the enemy's gun-
boats, the latter sheered old; and took shelter near the coast,
where it was not possible for the frigate to attack them.—
Os the 29th instant, the frigate received intelligence
wcasity's retreat to the northward, which was lorought by
the brig Dulphiai. Captain Buy, out recosisoiteriag the
west, Woad it occupied by the enemy in each force, that it

General Count Wachtmeister„ Commander-in-
Chief of our army of the coast, has sent a Report
to His Majesty, bearing date the 23th of last
month, by which it appears, that, on the 17th,
19th, and 20th of that month, our army was en-
gaged with the enemy near Djekneboda, Safoar,
and Ratan. Our troops behaved with the ut t
gallantry in all these engagements, hut sustained a
very consideralde loss, and were et length com-
pelled by the enemy's vast superiority in numbers
to re-embark.

Of the state of our ne4ociations for peace, no-
thing trangpires; but we hope that we shall anon
be at peace, net only with Rtnisia, but also with
Dennis! k.—(Stockhulos Gazette.)
