sTocx.notid, NOV. 4 .--4,71:11; ;Royo Majesty has
received the following Report from the General-in-
Chief of the Finnish Army.
.." My last Report ws-dispatched-from-hence -on
the St of.oaober by Lieutenant Colonel and Ad-
jutant General 'MAR T.INEAU. On the,27th of Oao-_
ber an action took place between the Fourth Bri-
gade of your Majesty's army and a i ussian Corps
grea),:ly;snpeor.innumber, was
very considerable on. both sides, without any signal
advantage having been obtained.
. " Col. SANPELV,. Chief 'of Brigade, has found :it
advisable to fall back with.the'MVin'btidy'alls'bi,
vision to Salanis,:threeniil:eS-4
leaving, however', ijiisO'vancti;-,pcist
by which positiolftle'ymuld have been!ablerto,cover,
the environs of thOse but it isio.6e.;appre.;:
hended that the watit of fciragehas.oliiliged him, by
this time, to retreat to Nisiila.
" On the sth icsst. the Eperpy attacked our post
at Lippo-pass, in the Vicinity .of, Katajacki, and
forced :bartrifiopOry a c fron-TO-k epttprwith great
vigour, to fall baek 'the Enemy thereupon,threw a
bridge over the xiver. Lippo; and formed another at
tack on our advanced..pbsitions, which he . forced to
make a retrograde ..liadVement, and join the main
bcKly of. our troops posted near- Ralajacki River. .
" The Russians continued their attack the fol-
lowing days, without making the least impression
on. yOur Majesty's troops. In the, mean time the,
enemy construaed a bridge over that river, near'
Alawieska, and crossed it with a very str-ong-de-
tachment' of foOt. As Soon •as the 'report of-This
movement had been received, •orders were given
to attack and repulse the troops who had passed
the river. Although the attack proved successful,
yet the extreme want of forage compelled the army
to take up another position near Pyhajociti, and I-
have strong reason to appiehend, that; considering
the great superiOrity of the enemy and the want of
forage, it will not prove possible for your Majesty's
army to maintain that position fur any length of
time.

. ,

" In addition to the above want of forage, which
it will hardly be possible to supply at the present
season', the, dampness of the weather,' and the severe
fatigues sustained by your Majesty's troops under
my command,- alniost continually obliged to ,be
on their arms, have trpatly increased the num-
l:;er of the sick, who exceed 6000, and 'whose
transport and removal increases our .ditficulties
in a very considerable degree : but in spite of all
_these difficulties;. I shall 'strenuously endeavour to
impede and obstrua the Enemy's progress as far as
circumstances shall:anywise permit. . .

• STOCKHOLM, NOT. 22.-Igajor General MORN-
,NER, who, in the absence of Field Marshal Baron
TOLL, commands the Southern Finish Army, has
transmitted to his Majesty. the follOv%•ing Report of a
naval actipn, which took place on the tenth, off
Helsingburgh.
" This afternoon four sail hove in sight, which
were .soon after ascertained to be two English Cut-
ters, and two merchantmen . which they had under
convoy. When the said four sail had reached the,,
altitude of Hillaip Reef, six Danish Gun-boats and
two armed Vessels put. off from Elsineur, and at-
tacked the he-almost Cutter, which had parted com-
pany with the rest, that were standing with the
Swedish coast. The English Cutter fought ,most
gallantly, but could hardly have escaped being taken,
had not our batteries opened upon the enemy's Gun-
boats, among which our fire seemed to do much
execution. The Danish " Gun-boats thereupon left
the Cutter, and stood towards the other three
Sail, which immediately began to cannonade them,
though at some distance ; and three English Gun-
boats heaving in sight, the Danish Gun-boats stood
off, and retreated with all possible 'haste under the
guns of the fortress of Cronenburgh, which com-
menced a heavy cannonade, most vigorously. answer-
ed, and kept up by the English, until all the
Ships had cleared the Danish coast.' One Danish,
Gun-boat was considerably damaged, and one of
the enemy's Armed Vessels is stated to have foun-'
dered. The loss on the part of the English is very
trifling.
