GOTTENBURGH, MAY 6.7-The accounts by tlie
post from Calmar-and Carlscrona on the 2d, respefit-
ing the landing of the French and Russians in the
Island ofGothland, appear to have been exaggerated.
By the last letters from thence we fearn;that, in-
stead of 10,000 men, 3000 only were landed on' the
Island, who were all Russians. They sailed frau
Liebau on the 21st of-April, in nine ships;—of the
truth of ,this a Captain from Liebau has made oath
before the GovernMent of Stockholm. This morn-
ing arrived the Eztoya/us Frigate, Honourable Cap-
tain DUNDAS, having on bnard his Royal Highness
the Duke D'Awoour.Ema and Suite. Thbre is no-
thing today from Norway. • A report was current
yesterday, that a, consider Ale body of Swedes, 500,
had been surrounded and taken. prisoners by 3000
Norwegians; but this 1s not yet confirmed.

MAY 7.—N Messenger, who has just arrived from
Stockhohn, brings the intelligence, that the Russians
have altrady retired from the Island of Gotilland,
after plundering it, and, as the Island was rich,
taking away a considerable booty.

A Fleet of seven Transports, with arms and act-
have arrii7ed here from Plymouth, bound
for Gefle.

SrocKttome, MAY 2.—By a report made by Lord
Lieutenant KLINT, on the 23d of last month, his
Royal Majesty was informed that, on the preceding
day, the Russians made good a landing on the south-
east coast of Gothland, in the parish of Grotting-
burgh. Their strength is estimated at about 2000.
According to intelligence received from Oland,
that Island was taken possession of a month ago by
some Russian troops,. who were, however, soon
after recalled in the greatest hUrry ; -but they have
nOw.landed there a second time. Reports are cur.;
rent in that Island, uncontradieied by the Russian
Officers, that their army in .Fit4and has sustained a
very considerable loss in an attack made on the
Fortress of Sweaburgh.—(Stockholin Gazette,May 2.)
SrOCKHOL.M. 29.---His Majesty received
yesterday from General Baron ARMFELDT, the fol-
lowing Report, dated April 23, 1808:
_ _ _

a. By my last Report informed yoUr Majesty
that f had passed the mountains,Jand rendered my-
self master of the passes between KonigsWinger and
Orie Bridge. The Eneiny, who made no con-
siderable resistance in the mountains) except at
Leersum, seem to have recovered the first im-
pression made by my operations in Norway, and
begin to attack my Troops as soon as they make
their, appearance., Count MoKNA, of the Lire
Guards, was attacked near Taverna, and owiu to
the Enemy's vast superiority in number, surrounded
and taken prisOner, , with about .60 rank and file,
and some Officers. Although ,we have sustained
this loss, and besides lost about go men killed and
wounded, yet the state of affairs in this country,
in a general point of view, remain unaltered.
