MONDAY. Juxe 0.

A Gottenbnrgh Mail arrived bit night, with
I :tters and pti:.ers (rota that city to the '2BO of
'Jay. We have also -rowed Du:ch pas.ers of a
late date. It appears from the Swedish psi,
that the expedition from. this country. winch ar-
rived in Gottenliurgh Roads on the UV; tas!., re-
nsuined i.t stets quo on the 27th. Not a sits** sol-
dier had beet, leaded ; and, as we stated Isov week,
the ulterior destitiatioa of our troops depe,ids upon
the answer brought by Colonel MURRAY. who wits
sent home for ivatructioas, and left town oa his
return for Gottenburgh on Wednesday last. Theae-
count of the rec.,pture of the Isle of Oland-by the
Swedes is confirmed. and it is stated in letters from
llelaingboig. that Gothland lies beer, retaken. to-
gether with 4,000 Russian troops in that isiatid. It
thus appears that the capture of Gotlifatal was not,
as at first represented, a predatory enterior:ze, hut
with a view to a permanent posseasiom It is w. Il
known that BOWAPARTB hoped to have overwhelmed
Sweden long since, and that although his own in-
ability to acLomproilt his threat of the itivosioo of
England, ought to have tatisht him moderation, he
is displeased with BtanaDopte for the little pro-
gress which he has made in an attempt, situ, ,ded
with many similar disadvantages. BgEN A DOTTE.
who dare not to retaliate upon his Ma4ter, is enidea-
roaring to shift the Maine from himself, and
has renewed his complaints eglidst the King of
Dattataat, who is charged with wart of paper
energy and activity in the common cause. he
French General threatens. in consegwAtce, to re-
tire toColding, in Jutland. The accumulation aE
British shipping in the neighbeurhood is probably
the real cause of this movement. The account of
the surrender of Sweaborg to the Russians team..
avuied by the Dutch Papers.

TABAILT C. TIPPER.

This was an action for a libel. The parties are
both bookseltera, and the lilscl complained of war
inserted in a monthly publication called The Sati-
rist, which ridiculed the works published by the
Plaintiff, and professed to give an extract from One
of theta, meant for the instruction of children. It
was in verse, of which the following was a stanza
There was a little maid,
And Nike was afraid
r would COME to bee,
Su she took it in hoe head,
As she hay in her bad,
To fastest her door with a skewer. _ .

The thing was ludicrous ; but as the professed
extract was evidently u perversion, malice was pre-
sumed, and the Plaintiff gut One Shilling Da-
mages, which ovriies costs.
There was a similar action by the Plaintiffnuinst
the Printer, in which the re,ult was the same.
