The official report of the proceedings of the Swe•
dish artny at Norway has been received in town--
The Swedes proceed in their victorious career, aid,
after having taken the fort of Kongvinger, rushed
on to the Glommen Lake. The enemy, about 64(x)
strong, lid entrenched themselves in a strong posi-
tion upon the Glommen, and opposed the attack of
the Swedes for three hours. But a division of the
Swedish army storming the redoubt in front, and ano.
tiler divison taking the enemy in the rear, the latter
retreatedrearrying off their cannon, but leaving heLind
their stores and ammunition-waggons. A detachment
el the Swedish troops had in the mean time taken the
fort of Blackiers, which is the inlet to Christiana, to
which place General At:MFELDT meant immediately
to proceed over Mangal-Fjell.—Christiana is a tine
city, and the possession of it by the Swedes will
enable them to receive all sorts of supplies from this
country with the utmost facility.
The following letter is important :
" STOCKHOLM, APRIL IL
It is not to be expected that we can trade with
Russia tinder the existing circumstances : indeed, you
will perceive the thing is impossible, when I tell you
that a fresh Edict has been published at St. Peters-
burgh by the Emperor, forbidding all commercial
connections with the British, and the entrance into
Russian Ports of all vessels coming from England,
until the present misunderstanding between the two
countries can be mule up. I suppose you have heard
that in February the Liquidation Committee published
that all British subjects are bound and required to
produce the balance of their property, consisting of
vessels lying in the ports of Russia, rnersliandize lying
in the Exchange, and at the Custottt•house ware-
houses; likewise their capitals and bills, excepting
such capitals as are placed in the Bank : and who-
ever has any kind of demand or pretensions on the
British merchants, or are themselves indebted to
them, are bound to inform the Liquidation Commis.
sion of the same within four months from the first
publication thereof in the newspapers; after that time
is elapsed, the Commission will neither receive nor
discharge any demands which may be made upon
them by British subjects."

Dispatches have been received at the Admiralty,

ment of the Guards is worthy of investigaton ; it
likewise possesses its good things?' We hope this
is not forbislden ground—that I.):.partment, which
gems to have been a nursery for the Medical board,
is worthy of regard for the fruit it has born.
