THE ,ACTION WITH I'HE RUSSIAN FLEET.
Head.qtiarters,NGralsby, Sept.. 3.
On the Ist inst. at his Royal: Majesty re-
ceived the followitig report filom Aear-Admiral
.NA,uKtroFF,. brought by Captain RuswautsT, of
the Royal Navy relative. to the blockading of the
Russian Fleet in Port _Baltic,. or R ick
" It was settled between myself and 'Admiral
HOOD, that the Fleet should set sail on the 25th, in
the morning. The' plan of attack was formed, and
in order that I might be able to communicate with
the English Adinii-al in the most convenient man-
ner, Admiral Hoop sent-on board my siiipLieuter
mint Tnomrsoti (a distinguished officer, who Jost
his right arni in the same battle as his Admifal) With
the signal-book, and the telegraphic mode of con,-
munication- used by the English navy, and I sent
Lieutenant COnnt ISON With the Swedish signal-
book onboard the English sa.!--ship the Centaur. •
" The 25th, at five o'clock in the morning, the
two English sail'ot the line and this ship set sail from
Oro, and the rest of the 'fleet got successively under
weigh, and at seven o'clock the whole. fleet 'had
cleared the rocks. The wind was N.E. and N.E.
•by N. blowing a fresh reefed topgallant.kail gale. ,
" About nine o'clock the Russian Fleet hove in
•sight, sod a signal for a general chace was hoisted ;
at len o'clock the Fleet formed' in line, but as it
was soon found that this impeded the chace, at
eleven o'clock the signal was hoisted to crowd sail,
without waiting for those ships which were not able
to keep up with the rest. The ship Fredericus
4dolphus was ordered by signal to proceed to Carls-
crOna. The two English Ships, which are copper-
sheathed, and besides considered as some of the best
sailers of the English navy, soon shot a-head and
_gained considerable head-way, but yoUr Majesty's
Fleet followed with every sail set, and gained con-
siderably upon the enemy. On the.26th, at break
of day, the English ship, the Implacable, came up
with the sternmost ship of the enenvl's Fleet,,fol-
lowed at a short distance by Admiral,-I:%ori in the
Centaur. Major FISCHEXSTROM was next to him
in the ship 'lapperiteten, yet at least a mile and a
half distant from the English, but the gallant Ad-
miral HOOD, notwithstanding, immediately engaged
the enemy.
At five o'clock in the morning Captain MARTIN
passed to leeward of the Russian lowardmost ship,
which gave him a broadside. The Implacable nur-
sud her course until she had gained sufficient dis-
tance; she tacked, crossed the bow of the enemy's
ship, and gave her a broadside; they crossed her
stern and gave her another., The Russian ship -ap-
neared to be very roughly handled, kind would then'
already have been taken, had not the enemy's ship,
which were to windward bore down to her assist-
ance. Your Majesty's. fleet was in the mean time
working up under 'a press of hail, and the ship
Tapper heteu and
.the frigates nearest the tq riglis

miril's ship, within half a mile's distance.' Admiral
HOOD, continued the eh* with every sail set, in
order to bring the enemy to a general action, the
probable consequence of which would hip.,,e been the
lois of his whole fleet, nor would the enemy haYe
been able to avoid a general engagerbent, bad-not
the wind shifted to enaoled him to take
shelter. in Baltic Port.

" The whole Eleet entered that port at twelve
o'clock at 000n,•with the exception of the Ship
gaged. by the, inzatdact.thie, which catne—to_aw:lor
close in with the cliffs of flagon, and was there at. 7.
taled and captured by Admiral Hoop., and burned
the next morning. The gallantry displayed on this
occasion by Admiral Hoop, .his Qfficersand men,
who, with two. Ships, attacked a kieet.ot eight Sail
of the Line and
.I.2,FtiVtts) without being sup-
ported by another Ship, is. beyond description. 1.11
Ship captured and burnt was called the Sevalud,
and commanded by Capt.,AooDNETT she had about
300 killed and wounded. Nine of your Majestv's'l
Ships are bow lying at anchor close in wi!il Baltic
Port, and the'Ship Tapfierketo and the Frigates are

" It is:with the utmost satisfaction I congratulate'
you on the complete, success of our endeavours to
frustrate the obje& of the sailing of the enemy's fleet,
and it gives me peculiar pleasure, that I have it in-
my power to inform you, that at the attack made
yesterday on the enemy's fleet, when a Russian ship
of 74 guns was taken, our success is to be entirely at-
.
tributed to the skill, bravery, and zeal displayed by his
Swedish Majesty's fleet under your coMmand, which'
inspired with confidence both the officers and men
under my orders. The enemy having perceived
this, found it necessary to retreat into port, in order
to avoid a general adion—the only circumstance
which we have to lament. I assure you, Sir, that
the cordial assistance I received from yobr fleet was
of the most.satisfadory nature, and, nothing could
give ►be greater satisfaElion than to know that my
Eqrvices could be of any to the attainment of his
Majesty's views, whereby I should be sure to obtain
the approbation of my King. •

" SIR,
" I have the honour to . inform you, with pecu-
liar_ satisfy Lion, that the Russian Fleet, cow wande4
by Admiral -, after a, chase which lasted
34 hours, was compelled, to seek shelter in Roger,
Wick Harbour, with the ldss of a 74-gun Ship. It
gives me particular pleasurO to bear testimony to
the steady and gallant condudt of the Officers,
seamen, and marines, under my orders; and to
add, that never saw, on any occasion, more zeal
'and adivity displayed, than were evinced by his
Swedish Majesty's Fleet ; for although the Ships
of which it was composed, on account of their
inferiority in point of sailing, prevented them from
taking share in the action, yet the exertions made by
Rear-Adm- iral NAudx.novr, , and the Officers under
his command, to come up with the Enemy, gave se-
curity to his Rtitannic Majesty's Ships; and had we
been, able to bring the Enemy to a general anion,
his Squadron must have ceded the palm .to the su,
pefior valour and exertions of their Majesties' com,
blued forces, in a cause so just and hondurable.

" The ship taken'proved to he the Stmv/ax, of 74
,guns, Capt. ROODNEF. She was so leaky and had
struck so hard a-ground, that I was induced, after

the prisoners and wounded had been taken out, to
order her to be burnt; which order was carried into.

PARIS, SEPt. B.—Yeterday there was, a Cabi-
net Council of the MiniSters, at which his Majesty
presided.

It is positively stated that Marshal Lannes is to
have the command in Spain.
The
under
of this day contains the following
article the head of Berlin, the 26th ult. :
" A Prussian AsSeSscir, named •Koppe,..was. in-
formed against as an intrigtier, Marshal, Soult has
had the good fortune of getting him. arrested and
conveyed to Spandau; and havitig also got posses-
sion of his papers, and found among them the brigi--
nal of the following letter, we think it ought to
be made public,, as an instance of the causes of the
rise and fall of States. This letter clearly displays
the dispositions of the Prussian Ministers, and par-
ticularly those .of the Minister Stein, who has long"
held that offiCe, and who still seems to be exclusive-
ly charged with the cOndbadt of public atlitirs. We
cannot but pity the King of Prussia tor having in
his service such awkward, but mischievously- inclined
Ministers. •

KONIGSBURGH, AUG. 15.—8 y the, official dis-
patch which M. Koppe will deliver to your
illus-
trious Highness, you will 'be informed of all that
relates to the affairs of the French. , I shall merely
venture to make a few remarks respeding our situa-
tion in general.
According to the advice of Count G. L. W. re-
peated ordershave been given to Prince G. to con-
clude a treaty of alliance, including a stipulation for
a corps of auxiliaries, and to make application for
a diminution of the contribution,‘ or a de'ay in the
per.od of payment. It is desirable that the Prince
should maintain a prudent degree of reserve and dis-
tance, should the Emperor set off to execute any new
entcrprizes. If his Majesty, at the _present crisis,
when we may be useful to him, does not listen to
our p!opositions, he will thereby demonstrate that he
designs our total destrudion, and we must then be
prepared for the worst.

The public discontent .increases daily in Ger-
many. Ii must be kept up, and we must endeavour
to work upon- the minds of the people. I wish
much that some correspondence could be established
in' Westphalia and Hesse; and that provision,could
be made for settling,- in :certain cases, a correspon-
dence with some well-disposed persons, who might
subsequently enter into reciprocal engagements with
each other. If your illustrious Highness can give,
me any information respecling this point, you may,
in that case, send back to me M. Koppe, or trans-
mit it by some other confidential person.
The affairs of Spain make a strong
,impression,
and clearly demonstrate what we must have long fore-.
seen. It would' be very useful to circulate this in-
telligence a the most prudent manner.
' A war with Austria is looked upon a; unavoid-
able.. This contest will decide the fate of Europe
and and ours of course. ~What does your Highness
•think will be the result of it ? Some such plans as
were in agitation in the spring of 1807 should now
be revived. Where is M. Von Meuring at present ? ,
Count Von Vinc**** will speedily Fay 'you a
visit, and remain with you some time. The Ele(tor
runs a great risk, under the -present .circumstances,
both his person and his possessions being in. their.
power. He ought, however,. to , place one or the,
other in a state of security ; but I am much afraid
that he will tall a victim to his irresolution and co,
vetousness.

M. Jacobi is• not yet arrived, but he is daily ex-
peaed. His voyage has been tedious and difficult.
It has been at length.determined, that Ancillou
shall be tutor to the Hereditary Prince. The exe-
cution.of this purpose will, however, require some
further time; but one step. has been taken, and
that is a great deal irr our present state of indecision.
' am glad that your spouse has renounced her
first intention. The Prince mu,t have derived great
advantage from the conversation of a lady so accom-
plished, and who has learnt so much in the school of
experience and misfortune.

' The finances of the House must be in a very-bad
condition, for I am not yet paid the 13,000 guilders
which it owed me. for, an estate that I sold some
}wars ago. I should be very,glad.to have this .sum
paid to me, for in these times my posSessions do not
increase,,and I must regulate myself according to my
income.

I understand that sonic of your friends have left
Holstein.

' General Blucher falls off sadly ; it has been ne-
cessary, to send Colonel 13ulow to colberg to support
him. I am, &c. . (Signed) STEIN:*

ness to transport them farther. The troops on their
march for Spain are forwarded on their route in

A journey which it is. supposed liis.Majesty will

PARIS, SEPT. 9.—The following intelliOnce has
been received from SChiras, in Persia, under date of
tire 20th of Jude The English have made some
new attempts to get one of their emissaries admitted-
into Persia ; but Feth-Ali-Schib has determined to
hold no communication with them atxl •has given
orders to all his Commanders to admit no agent be-
;onging to that nation, nor cyan to gran(a passage

English ,might be •disposed to send to Theheran.
The English supported their application with' threats.
1 hey had 18 vessels. in' he Persian and-were
pleparing to disembark. On the first intelligence
of this attempt, Feth-'Ali-Schrth
.ordered a
ibt:idy
of, troops to be assembled at Schiras, and to
proceed to the part,of the coast which Was threaten -
ed. This corps was put under .the command of
Isidae! Bey,' an Officer of distinaion, who Served
with reputation. on the frontiers of Georgia. The"
English, after threatening various points, at last at-
tempted a landing near Bender-Bouchehr ; but the
Persian troops having made a rapid march thither,
compelled them to re-embark."
VALLEY OF EHRENBREITSTEIN, SEPT. 8.--:The
French troops coming from Saitony and Prnisia* ar-
rived at Frankfort and Mentz in such numbers,•that
Marshal Kellermann gave orders that a column of
about 13,000 should pass the Rhine farther down .
the river. The column . alluded to arrived here on
Saturday last, but scarcely had a le.v hundreds passed
•to the other side of the Rhine, when orders sud-
denly
came for them to halt. • The whole of this
army is now quartered here and in the adjoining
villageS, and to-morrow we expel three naore regi-
ments of cavalry, and a regiment of horse-artillery
to arrive in .our environs by way •of Montalauer.
We learn that the cause of this halt is, that owing
,to the rapidity of the forced marches, sufficient pre-
parations have not yet been made for the supply of
the troops in' their further progress.-
We learn from Cassel that they are at work day
and night in the arsenals there. The Conscripts

PARIS, SEPT. 11.—A treaty signed' on the kith
instant, between M. Champagny, Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs, and his Royal Highness Prince Wil-
liam, of Prussia, has put an end to all the ditil-rences
:which existed between France. and Prussia.
An Italian merchant; who left Madrid .on
23d of. August, and arrived at Bayonne the sth "inst.
brings, respetting the state of Spain, the following
intelligence, which may be regarded as completely
authentic The Council of Castile, which was
formed subsequent to the departure "of King Joseph,
is without credit or power. The lower orders
abandon _themselves to excesses of every kind, and
acknowledge no law, nor restraint. The citizens
keep watch, but are not sufficiently. numerOus- to
.:furb the multitude, who have completely shaken off
the yoke, and who attend to pealing but
.how to
make the most of the present state of disorder and
anarchy. None of the Generals who command the
armies of the insurgent* had hitherto appeared in
Madrid, though the approaching arrival of Castanos
had been announced for some tune. The Junta of.
Seville continued to maintaiti its claims to the sole
exercise of the supreme authority, and refused to
recognize that of the Castiles t and thus the same
anarchy reigned among the ruling. Powers as arnong
the rabble. The same insubordination prevailed in
.the provinces; every one wishes to command, and
none is disposed to 'obey. .From Madrid to Burgos
there is not a single corps of insurgents ; there are
:An that direction only some straggling parties, con-
sisting in all of from 4 to 5000 armed peasants, and
'.numerous bands of robbers,. who plunder and
murder along the roads, without distinction of
friend or toe. Several, foreigners have been murder-
ed' under the pretext of their being Frenchmen,
though, in reality, they were Germans or Italians.
It ought, however, to be known, that the Generals,
and those who pOssess any degree of influence,
appear to make the greatest exertions in favOur of
the French. They rrave even caused their' property'
and merchandize to be respeCted; and particularly,
among other instances, a quantity of cotton which
was on its way from Portugal for a French house."
BAYONNE, SEPT. I.—The French army in Spain
occupies very strong positions along the river Ebro ;
totes-da.pont have been ereoted'to proteet all the o.i--
sages of any consequence.
The inhabitants, of the towns in Catalonia, with.
the-exception of"those of Gerona, have not taken
any the sthallest,share :in the instirretlion excited by
the Monks.

• The English have conveyed an incredible quantity
of their Merchandize-to Gibraltar, whence it is dis-
tributed among the towns in the South of Spain.—
They have even asked permissionofthe insurgents to
open warehouses in the ports of Spain.. -All these
are a sure booty for the French array.
