EXTRACT Or A LEITER FROM GOTTENT3URGH, DATED

AUGUST 19.

" Since my last to you of the 17th, we hare heard
nothing from Stockholm. A repnrt, however, is in
vety general circulation here; that the Russian Fleet
which lately put to sea from Cronstadt, has been
fallen in with by the Swedish Squadron, and part
of that under the command of Sir JAMEG SAUMA:
acz, and that the Russians, preferring running to
fighting, escaped in great contuion own

A Gentleman who left P.
is arrived in town ;
were then

t
utorrnS us that there
•ds of 80 neutral vesseis,
ueen permitted to unload

of their cargoes, in defiance of the vigi
:duce of LZsEPPE, the French Consul, who had re-1
sorted to every art to induce the crews to !etray their
employers, by asserting that the ships carve from
England, dr had touched t British Ports. Neithet
arts nor menaces suc&eded ; the vessels are an en-
tered at the Custort House, and are proceeding in
the usual and regular way. We augur from this
and other co'incidenLes, that the affairs In Spain have
made no inconsicerable iwpresgioi; on the politics Of
Russia.

" DispatcheS have been received here from Eng-
land which have been forwarded to St. PeiersbUrgh
by Mr. JonN HALLIDAY.
Some Swedish Vessels have been chartered
from hence to convey the Spanish troops now in
Langeland to Spain ; we hear they are to touch in
England, before they proceed to Spain, trim whence
they are to be allowed to bring cargoes of salt." '
STOCKHOLM, AUG. I On the 14th oft, the
Swedes gained a battle over the fussians Lappo ;
the enemy's forces consisted of GOOO mei, with
eight cannon, and our owe only of 3300 eien, with
14 cannon, of which, however, only eight were in
battle. Our head-qoarters is at present at Lapps,
but a part of the army stands some miles farther
southward. This, my dear G. I hope %vitt give v
great pleasure to understand ; but prepare yoe:self
to hear bad news, which very neariy concerns you :
Your Uncle, with his son, who was at hbnie, are
carried away, together with all their proptely, by
the Russians ; in consequence of which the young
who lived at this place, was obliged to go to
Rasko, and went from hence last Sat ureay evening
at eight o'clock, in order to look after what maw be
left by these 'rascals. I hope, however, that any
further attack will not be made by there on Cagka.
" My Brother, who is in the serviceas Lieutenant
on board a Brig of War, informs me, in a letter, dated
Rasko, ed August, that he was arrived there the
same day, with a convoy, that had on board 700
men ; some hours atier their arrival, they heard tir-
ing of guns and cannons, when the Counnaocler of
the Brig, 1321.011 KLINCKVIA'STRUNE, commanded 300
men to be set on shore under his own cominaed : he
took my Brother at first with him, but desired him,
. after they were advanced a little, to return and take
.300 men inure with him, and go farther southward,
and land' there, in order to attack the Rassians from
two sides. This my Brother did, and tells me that
he was at Finny or Finny-bra, the Ressiiins on one
side, and we on the other. They were to attack
• the Russians the day following that my 'Brother
• wrote this letter, which he sent that evening away
with an express. Ido not know how it weet, but
suppose that I soon will have farther newefrorn
him. He mentions even that the Russians bthave
themselves very ill, they cut the peasants in pieces,
and put them on thagarfi!Fnc•-• ..s::rn the villages,
just as savage,. zeother wishes to get hold of
them, wl :. he says he wilt give no parden,but cut
them in pieces as fast as no can."

Our commerce with Spain is already becOme very
considerable. One house in London has received an
order from that Country for coar,:e woollens, suffi-
cient to clothe 20,000 troops. Trade is looking up
in the West Riding ; and the intercourse between
this Country and Spain is already of great adv•ant6ge,

valry, and the whole of the foot-Guards will join
him, with the 51st and 5.9 th Regiments, from this
Country.
