GOTTENBUROH, MAY 100.—The Swedish Fleet
fri.mn Carlscrona took, it is said, .2.000 Troops from
thence on board, when it sailed, and .200 from
Calmar, and proceeded to Gothland, in order to
dislodge the Ittisiiaus, who still retain possession of
that Island. Admiral Sir SAMUEL HOOD (it is said)
has sailed for the• same place. The English Fleet
and Army remain in harbour here, and we- are
as yet ignorant whither they be destined. By an
extra post arrived this morning, we learn that Abe
Swedes haVe been very successful against the Rus-
sians, in the upper part of Finland, near Garnla
Carleby, and have made a gre:t number of pr*isoners
and taken a large- quantity of ammunition. We have,
nothing new from Norway.

Luinajocki, baited the 40th, and arrtved here
yesterday.
The fourth I3rigade, which since the action
near Revolax occUpied that place, is to march this
day to Wehande, from whence I have ordered the
Commander of this Brigade to send sirdng detach-
ments to Aulais, in pursuit of the Enemy, and 'to
push the detachments, if possible, as far as Kelajoeki,
in order to cut off the Enemy's retreat to Pyhajocki.
" The fifth Brigade covers the Left Flank of the

WE last night received 894:130 Norc Papers from
the "C4ntinent, but they: are not of a later date than,
those which had previottsly 'reached us. The most
important they bring is Coitiiiined'
;iu.an.article,from pelgrade,. which:states, that hoc

Thecae papers are pertealy silent respeaing the
Insurretlions in Spain. The l'aiNCE of l'ita.cc has
arrived at Bayonne. While he wa3 w pr4bn at
Aranjuez, he was treated with the utmost. seve-
rity : he was not allowed a person to attend him,
nor even a change of linen : and 'dating the crut:th
that he was in 'ennfinement he was not once shaved.
When he was on the road to Bayonne he received
letters from the KING and QUEEN of SPAIN,
appeared to atfea him 'much, and he ex.claina-.
ed—" This is the only consolation I have had
this month, every 'one abandwed me except my
King. The ungrateful whom I,,had loaded with
benefits' did not dare to raise a voice in my favour."
Upon being- shown the statements in the News-
papers -respeaing- the immense; properly ‘i,gicA..he
was supposed to have accumulated, he declared that
they were false, and said he had no fent& in Eng-
land, France, Italy, or Genoa, as had beensttecl

This morning a Mail from Gottenburgh arrived':

have beenihe result of those communications.

Lord GEtNVILLE last night brought forward his
Motion respe&ing the Catholics, which after a De-
bate that lasted till five o'clock this morning, was
negatived by i6i to 74.

We are confidOntly assured that the owner of s
Transport has received a letter from her Captain,
dated from the Streights of Gibraltar, stating, that

ire had 'arrived empty from Malta at that place.
and had been ordered to take Troops on board;
which service he had executed, and had joined a
Fleet of 21 Sail, for Cadiz.

informed that the slum wanted would be—

5,000,0001. for the service of England,

The Citai4otttamt of the EXCHEQUER said, that
he was desirous that the sum wanted for England
should be funiled in the 4 per Cents. ; but that it any
part of "it' should be contracted for in the 3 per
Cents. it. should become a separate Stock, and 'be,
redeemable Governmenty Whenever the Fund
shall reach.the-price of 80. But after some conver•i
sation, it was determined that the whole should ba
contracted fer'in the 4 per Cents. and the parties
