Major-General Count .LAbrONGSHAUSEN set sail
yesterday from BonudsUnd with the second-division
of the Southern Finnish army. The Duke:of Pi-
ANNE, late Marshal de CaMp to the King of France,
. arrived here yesterday.

A Letter from his Majesty the King of, SWEDEN
to the-Emperor of RUSSIA—" Honour and humanity
enjoin me to make the most forcible remonstrances
to your Imperial Majesty against the numberless
cruelties and the injustice committed by the Russian
troops in Swedish Finland. These proceedings are
too well known and confirmed to require from me
any proofs of their reality, for the blood of the:ill.
fated victims cries aloud for vengeance against the
abettors of such enormities. Let not your Imperial
Majesty's heatt be insensible to the representations
Which I find myself compelled to make to you in the
name of my faithful subjects in Finland. But what
is the object of this war, as unjust as it is unnatural ?
it is not, I suppose, to excite the strongest aversion
for the Russian name. Is it criminal in my subjeds
in Finland not to have suffered themselves-to be se-
duced from their allegiance by promises as false as
the principles ore‘which they are founded ? Does it
become a Sovereign. to make loyalty a crime ? I con-
jure your Imperial . Majesty to put a stop to the ca-
titinties :mkt horrors of a wars which cannot fail to
bring dim 11 on your own person and your gbvern-
tnent the curses of Divine Pr.widence Halt of my
dominions in Finland are already recovered by my
bi'ave Finnish troop, Your Majesty's Fleet is shut
up in Baltic Port without the hope of ever getting
out any otherwise than as a conquest. Your flotilla
of galleys has recently- sustained a very severe defeat,
and my troops are this moment lauding in Finland{
to reinforce those who wilr point out to them the'
road to honour and g!ory.
Given at my Head-quarters, Sept.. 7, 1808.

GuTTENEURGH, SEPT. 19.—There is a bujetin
out to-day, dated Gralsby, Sept. 13; stating the
capture of a Russian Cutter, pierced' for eight guns,
but mounting only four, and 30 men; by one of the,
Cruizers from the blockading Fleet ; also of the cap:
ture of tour other Vessels on their passage; with
naval stores, from Narva to Revel ; further, that,
in ermjune-tion with Admiral NAUCKHOPF, Admir-al
SAUMAREZ had proposed to the Russian's to lot bear
hostilities against Baltic Port, :on condition of one
half of the Fleet being. giVeh up to the combined
Fleet, and the latter would then allow the rest Of
the Russians to return quietly to Cronstadt. The
Russian Admiral replied, that he would sooner burn
the whole of his Fleet, than surrender any part
thereof;, but that he' thought he could venture to
enter into an engagement- to dismantle- hi's Ships in
Baltic Port, on condition of a promise from the com-
bined Fleet to cease hostilities. This proposal of
HANNEKbFF was,, however, equally rejeCted ; and
on the departure.of the Courier froin the. Fleet, one
Fire-ship was ready to be sent in, and °fliers were
preparing to follow.—Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ' was em-
ploying for this purpose a Sloop of War, and some
others of his small craft. Mr. EDWARD TnuRNTON,
his Britannic Majesty's Minister, left Stockholm
yesterday, the 14th of September, to join Admiral
SAUMAREZ, and perhaps, in eight or ten days, we
may have more news of an interesting nature.

KONIGSBURGH, SEPT. 13.—The Emperor of
RUSSIA and the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, are ex-
peeled here this week, on their way to Erfurth, to
meet BUONAPARTR. This remarkable event gives
rise to much conjedure, but all agree in condemning
the conduct of the Emperor. There is still a great
movement amongst the troops in Germany. There
has been some skirmishing between the Swedes and
Norwegians. The former have taken three pieces
tal,Cannon, and 40 or 50 prisoners.

Yesterday there was a Cabinet Council at the Fo-
ieign Office, .at which the greater part of the Mem-
bers assisted.' The sitting commenced at two, and
Was not dissolved until nearly seven o'clock. -•

In the different towns of Spain which have recent-
ly been the scene of Carnage and devastation, the
Comedians have manifested their patriotism and zeal
in the common cause, in a wily which does credit W
their feelings; and shows, in effe&, the popularity
of .British connection among taste Spaniards, and their
abhorrence of the French. At Venturada a Com-
pany has performed, during the current .month; to,
overflowing houses, for the benefit of the widows
and orphans of the brave inhabitants who fell in de-.
fending that town against a detachment of French
troops, who; On succeeding in the attack, profaned
the temples; pillaged the shrine's; violated the vir-,
gins, and assassinated, without distifielion of age or
sex, all who opposed the least resistance to their,
atrocious proceedings. Among a variety of pieCes
.which have been written mtpresSly for the occasion,
the; most ' popular and attractive is one from the pen
