His Royal Majesty this day set sail from Fiskon at
half past ten o'clock in the forenoon, and arrived
here at half past three. Rear-Admiral Rayalin,
Adjutant-General of the Fleet, and Colonel Brant,
Chief of Brigade, came immediately .on board, and
soon after his Royal Majesty proceeded to the flotilla
of galleys, in order to inspect its positions. Nisi
Royal Majesty has received the following report from
Field-Marshal Klingspor, dated the 18th inst. :
Agreeably to the plan which I had formed for the
retreat of the army, 'Vasa was evacuated, after all
the provisions, magazines, and sick, had been previ-
ously removed : the troops halted at Lillkyro, froml
whence the army marched the 12th to. Woro, and
the 13th to Orawais, where Major-General Baron .
Adlercreutz took up the most advantageous position ;
which he could obtain.
In order to reinforce the troops who arrived at New
Ca rleby, from Narma, two battalions of the regiment
of Blomberg and Captain Gyllenbogd's detachment
were sent thither. Colonel Dobeln, although still I
indisposed, put himself at the head of those troops,
defeated the enemy near Funtas, and prevented him!
from executing his design to carry New Carleby.
In consequence of this advantage gained over the!
enemy, our troops attacked the enemy en different
points, drove him from Old Carleby, and forced him
to fall back to Lower Wetil, whither Major General I
Gripenberg received orders to pursue him, and to '
take post there, to cover the flank of our army.
On the 14th instant, early in the morning, the
army was attacked in the position of Orawais. Your
Majesty's troops repulsed the enemy at every point of
attack, and at three o'clock in the afternoon Major-
Gent ral Baron Adlercreutz drove the enemy half a
mile back ; but there the enemy-received such con-i
siderable reinforcements, that our troops, after four-'
teen hours righting, were obliged to retreat : this re-
rograde movement to New Carleby, was performed
1u: mg the Milt, without the enemy, who had pro-
bably sus?r.iacs a very considerable loss, making the
least attempt to molest your Majesty's troops.
Our loss is very considerable, though its reatamount
cannot as yet be ascertained. I estimate it, from the
reports that have been hitherto received, at 1200 men,
100 of whom have been taken prisoners.

Kurko Sound, the e3th of Sept(.:nber.

His Royal Majesty this day set sail from Cron-
wick Sound, at ten o'clock in the morning, in order
to proceed to the Southern Finnish army. On his
way thither his Majesty received two reports from
I,4eutenant•Colonel Lagenbring, dated Jarmenpo, the
26th September, and Wtais, the 27th of the same month,
by which it appears that his Majesty's Southern
Finnish army has obtained considerable advantages'
over the Russian troops, and driven them back atter
a most obstinate resistance, (continued upwArds of 1
six hours) to Wiais, where tie victorious Swedish
troops took post this day, at I,Ptive o'clock at noon.
The Russians were censmanded in this aption.. by
Generals Sassanoff and Shtib4akuff and, =Cardin,'
to the prisoners, in point et strength, annowitied t
4000 men, while the Sweersettnoops who took sh'
in the action, hardly /mounted to 2600.

of the army, presented a. sword to General SS

ing to these brave soldiers theirarrns,4 have the ito,

assurance that he will we it in the cause of glory and,
honour. Take it; Senor General, and with thesoll'
brave troops to whom I am now going to rastifel
their arms, of which they were deceitfully deprived
by a treacherous enemy, who dared not to seize Sheila
openly-.-to, avenge them, and also your -country,
which the same enemy has treated with a perfidy
never before experienced by any people. In the mean
time, Senor General, go, conduct these troops, that
they may pursue the gallant actions which your heroic
nation has already performed, as they have finally
to accomplish the desires of the English people--of
geeing Spain free, jt being now our sole wish that the
Spanish and English nations may alaellejs live united
and allied."
i To these observations General Lagune replied :
" General, it gives me the greatest satisfaction to
receive at the hands of your Excellency, the arms of
which the Spanish nation were stripped by the deepest
perfidy and cunning ; and in the name of my Sove-
reign Lord Don Ferdinand VII, (Whom God pre,
. serve I) I return you the most grateful thanks.
i " The cause which unites and impels us is a se-'
cure pledge of the noble sentiments which animate
the two nations, and ought to assure y.ur Excellency
that the general wish of my countrymen is solely di-
'
reeled to the total destruction of the common enemy.
May the Aesternerx grant, that a durable peace may
be the fruit of our labours, and concede to us the
happiness, that the defenders of their country 414
their families may enjoy it I"
Turning to the Brigadier D. Romo y Gamboa,
he delivered him his.sword, with some observations
suitable to the occasion. This commander seizing it,
swore to " conquer or die for Ferdinand VII. for his
