STOCKHOLM, MAY 17.

His Royal Majesty received, the day before yester--,'
day, two reports from General Baron Armfeldt,
Commander Ch Chief of the Western Army, of the
9th and 10th of this month, by which it appears that
the army occupied at that time its former position, and
that the head quarters were still at Holmedal.
MAY 18.—His Royal Majesty. has received. the fol-
lowing report from Lieutenant Kapsilman, of the 13th
instant

" Gun-boat No. 9, at anchor in the north port of
Kooning, the Pith May, 1808.
" Since my last report of the 7th inst. several, of the
inhabitants of Oland and the parishes of Kokar, Cassell ,
and Kumling, joined me, about 450 in number. I
concluded with the enemy an armistice for three days,
on condition that no troops within that time should be
withdrawn from Kumling, and that the inhabitants
should be well treated. Having received intelligence
that, nevertheless, five boats, with troops, had put off
for Brindo, and that several houses had been plun-
dered, I considered the armistice as no longer binding,
and immediately ordered Lieutenaut C. Cronstedt,
who commanded the sloop No. 11, to endeavour to
break the ice, with the assistance of tho armed inha-
bitants, in three large boats, and farce his way to the
South part of the island, in order to prevent the
enemy from crossing over to Brindo : I thereupon
sent a flag of truce to the enemy, to represent to them
their unwarrantable conduct, ordered my gun boat to
be worked up as close as possible, and sent another
flag of truce, summoning the enemy to surrender :
This being refused, I landed on the 9th inst. some of
the guns of my division, and began to cannonade the
enemy.

is The action continued till four o'clock in the af-
ternoon, when the enemy laid down their arms, and

demanded quarter. I have taken prisoners, I Colonel,
who commanded the corps, I Lieut. Colonel, 1 Major,
17 Officers, 37 Non-comtnissiOned Officers, 1 Phy-
sician, 3 Surgeons, 410 rank and file: a small maga-
zine, and seme military stores,have also fallen into
my bands. (Signed)
" G. J. VON KAPSkLMAN."
Lieutenant Freis,who commands the 'cutter Rattka,
reported to his Majesty, under date of the 11th inst.
that haying set sail on the 10th from It appelhaven,
he sailed along the coast of Gothland as far as Wisley,
and saw several temporary barracks erected at a
small distance from the coast, and some of the ene-
my's troops in green and red uniforms. Having
opened a brisk grape-shot fire on the enemy, they
were compelled to retreat to the town. •
MAY' 20.-,-His Majesty: received, the 17th instant,'
the following Report from Field-Marshal Count
Klingspor, dated head-quarters, Brahestad, the 7th
instant.;—

" Since my last report, whereby I acquainted yew
Majesty with the victories obtained by the gallant
troops under m y command, I ordered Colonel Sandell
to march with the brigade under his orders from
Uleasalo to Frontzila, and from thence to Pulkila, to
attack the enemy's troops who occupied that place,
and render himself master of the convoy, which I
knew was on its way from Cnopio to the Russian
army. This attack was made with great spirit, and
succeeded so well, that 2 officers, 12 non-commis-
sioned officers, 76 rank and file were made prisoner.,
and 370 waggons with provisions and military stores
fell into oar hands, I have ordered Colonel Sandels
to advance with strong detachments to Idensalptio
and Cnopio, in order to render himself master of the
considerable magazines which the Russians have for-
med in that neighbourh ood ; and I make no doubt but
that he will display on that occasion the same skill
land gallantry he has done on all others. The posi-
tion of your Majesty's Finnish army i* at present as
follows : the 3d, 4th, and sth brigades occupy Kala-
jocki and its environs, and a strong detachment of the
latter has taken post near Rantio Chassel on the right
flank of the Russian army; the 2d brigade occupiesPn tti-
jocki near Brabestad,wherethehead-quarters now are;
the 3d brigade is in Pulkila, and the Ist in Pyhajocki ;
the artillery-depot and field-hospital of the army are
in Uleaborg, covered by detachments of the regi-
ment* of Ulcaborg and Wasa, wider the orders of
Colonel Numers.
The enemy's main force is reported to occupy the
neighbourhood of Himango Chapel and the parish of
Lohto, and consists, according to the best hiforma-
tion which I have been able to collect, of from 6 to
7000 men, with 14 pieces of cannon. In and about
Wasa are 2000 men. (Signed)

PRIVATE CORRESPONDFNCE.--FROM A BRITISH
OF4;ICER.

Gottenburgh, May 22.
" Dear Sir—The accounts which have reached
this place since my last letter, serve but to confirm the
late disastrous news from Stockholm. It is'now be-
yond a doubt, that since the disgraceful capitulation
of the fortress of Sweborg, the Russians have taken
possession of the whole of Finland as well as the Island
of Gothland. I understand upwards of $OO gun-
boats and transport ships of the Swedish flotilla, were
delivered up to the Russians, an at the time 5000 of
the finest troops in the Swedish service surrendered
prisoners of war. The (ate of this =formate rows-

try seems now decided, as there is little doubt of the
enemy succeeding in crossing -over to Stockholm from
Finland.
" The news from Norway. is also of a very un-
pleasant nature ; the Swedes have been repulsed, and
driven back, not having a sufficient number of troops
to maintain the advantages they lately gained.
" It is presumed the trcops will not land till the
' Commander in Chief receives further orders from
home.

" MAY 24.—1 have just heard that the King of
Sweden has signed an Armistice with the Russians,
but this intelligence is very doubtful. It has been
repotted, several days past, that he had proposed
terms to them, which had been rejected.
_

" The troops still remain on shipboard ; there
seems no disposition making for their landing, indeed
there is every appearance of their being ordered soon
to return to England.
"Three of the transport ships are still missing, and
fears are entertained that they ran on shore near the
Slaw point; one of them had cavalry on board, and
the others troops."
