JUNE I.—His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angou-
kme yesterday left this place for Cariscrona.
JUNE 3.—His Royal Majesty received, the day be-
fore yesterday, the following Report from General
Baron Armfeldt, Commander in Chief of the Western •
Army, of the `..).!•)th last month.
Cn the 2.5 th inst. one of the positions of the se-
cond brigade was surprised by the enemy, and Lieu-
tenant Baron Illspane, of the Chaseurs of Upland,
killed, with five men of the same corps. The corps
of reserve having immediately advanced to repulse the
enemy, they did not wait the arrival of that corps,
but retreated, which clearly proves their sole intention
to have been to alarm our advanced posts. On the
27th instant, Colonel Brandstmm was attacked, and
a bombardment commenced against his magazines
and head-quarters in Bergstrom ; but his spirited and
gallant conduct speedily disconcerted the enemy's
plan of attack. He crossed the river which separated
him front the enemy, mated them, took a mortar and
some ammunition, made six prisoners, and resumed
his former position.

Since our last arrived another Gottenburgh Mail,
the only one due ; also, French Journals to the 2d
inst. Dutch to the 4th, and Hamburgh and Swedish
Papers.

The accounts from Spain in the Moniteur, are it
direct contradiction to the reports that have been cir-
culating in London for the last week. Several of the
provinces are represented to be in a tranquil state,
which have before been represented to be in the
highest state of insurrection. The truth probably lies
between these extremes. That the majority of the
Spanish nation would spurn the yoke preparing for
them, if they had a rational hope of succeeding in the
effort, cannot be doubted, but prudential considera-
tions will intimidate many : the late Government,
had it been accessary to the intentiens of NAPOLEON,
and desiroui to see his plans succeed, could not have
iiiiore effectually seconded his views than it actually
; the enemy is already in possession of the country ;
;and troops are advancing or. every :iide--whst can a

betrayed people do in such a cue ? Besides—tau
receive a worse government than they had ?
ALetter or proclarnatirn, slid to have be.en varitteA

by the Prince of 4sTuitlAs, has been published in this
country. It will hardly be credited, however, th,4
the Prince would venture to write such a letter in the
circumstances in which he is now placed ; nor is it
easy to conceive how he could have transmitted it,had
he written it. The following- is tile production al.

The rumours respecting Sweden are likewise cc:.
tradictory. .Soine assert that oar expedition is en :7
return, and for this various reasons are as.ligned. Ac.
cording to somd letters, our troops were to have assis.
ted in the reduction of Norway, which now being
foUnd hopeless, the King of Sweden wished them
co-operate with his trocps in Finland, which our com-
manders having no powers to agree to without fresh
instructions, caused Col. MURILAY'S visit to this rountty.

—According to other accountsa On Sir JouN
Moons and Admiral Kris arrival in the Cattept,
they were waited on by a very respectable Deputa-
tion, comprising several of the principal Nobility of
Norway, proposing to withdraw from their connec-
t ion with Denmark ; to declare themselves ncutrzi ;
to open all theieports to the British ships, and to place
the commercial intercourse between the two c.-..antics
upon the same footing as it was previous to the wr.:,
provided that Britain would not employ her forces
against them. They proposed ihalier te make peace
with Sweden, and to afForcrher such supplies of grr:n,
Scc. as their means might admit, or her wants reciaire,
declaring at the same time their determinntinn to perish
rather than submit to the domination of Sweden.
a Admiral KEATES and Sir J. Mooaz, estimating
the importance of this very unexpected proposal on
the part of Norway, and not considering themselves
authorised to act in this new situation of affairs,
patched Colonel MURRAY to this country for fresh in-
structions, whether they were to accept the profTeted
neutrality of Norway ; or whether they were to pro.
secute their original orders, and invade Norway with
a view to annex it to the Swedish Crown."
Other letters state, that his Danish Majesty has at
length opened his eyes to the real designs of Nalo-
tros, and has offered to adthit a British force into
Copenhagen, provided they will agree to defend it,
and guarantee to him the possession of Norway 1
Amid such contradictory rumours, it is ditheult,
not impossible, to ascertain the real truth, and it h
better to wait the result, than hazard idle conjectures.
Our troops were still on board in the harbour of Got.
tenbur6h on the 6th inst. and Colonel Mwuttr had
not then joined them.

No official intelligence has yet been received by
Government from our .fleet off Cadiz, but the Captain
of a privateer, who has arrived at Daitmouth, states,
that on the 10th instant, he fell in with a victualler
returning from Admiral Putsas's fleet, the Master
of (which informed him, that he left the fleet seven
413 y s before ; that at that time all the transports, with
the troops on board, were anchored close in shore off
Cadiz, and that a disembarkation was expected im-
mediately to take place. The Master of the victualler
also stated, that he had dispatches on board from Ad•
miral Pettus and General SPENCFR.

On Saturday a Cabinet Council was held at the
Foreign Office. After the Council broke up, the
Viscompte MATEROSA, Ambassador from the Patriots
of Sp. n, had a private coati once with Mr. Secretary
Cr►tarlVc.—Yesterday, that Nobleman and his Secre
tary, Lord GRANVILLE LEVESON GOWER, his Excel.
lency the Portuguese Ambassador, Signor De Cowie
(the Portuguese Ambassador that arrived some tine
ago from i3erlin), together with Earls Wasfasaits•
LAND and CAunrs, Lord HAWICE3BUILY, Mr. Seca•
tug CANNING, &C. dined with the Duke of PORTLAND,
at Burlington House.
An order was issued yesterday from the Ordnance
Office, for all the Spanish arms in the Tower, consist•
ting of several thousand stands, to be shipped
possible expedition.
All the Spanish prisoners ace not to be released and
sent home. The indulgence is' confined to the satins
of Asturia, it 3 which St. Andero, the port whence the
Spanish Deputies from the Council of Oviedo come,
and is intended by our Ministry as a pledge to that
Province, and to all Spain, of our sincere anti cordial
interest in her cause.
Tie Spanish Noblemen itbo are here to treat for
succour to their country, were at the Opera on Si•
turday, in the Duke of Quasmsser.try's box. As son
as they were recognized by the company, the most
marked respect and attention were shown them. The
Theatre was most brilliant.

His Serene Highness FREDERICK GEOncz A vccsfrs,

The Roman Dalmatia Tunica, a beautiful dress,
richly adorned with palm leaves of gold, was yester•
day worn in Kensington Gardens by several Ladies
of professed taste. The purple =ma, or Virgin's
Girdle, and soka, laced like the sandals of Capuchins,
were also conspicuous. It would be impossible for us
to describe all the becoming and elegant novelties
exhibited on the Promenade.

We have already briefly noticed the gallant de.
rice made by the PRINCE ElexF-sr packet, Captain
Ptmt, in March last, against a French privateer of
very superior force. The merchants and inhabitants
(Kingston, Jamaica), have come forward, to reward
the crew of the packet with the following sums:
To the Captain, 200 Guineas—Master, 100 ditto—Mate, 50
dk3--Bnattwain, Gunner and Carpenter, each 25 ditto—Lash
oithe crew, 10 di•to.
It was afterwards learnt, that the French privateer
was- called M issena, carrying 120 men. The first dis-
charge from the packet killed her second Captain and
twn seamen, and mortally wounded the first Captain.
Her rigging and masts were also severely injured ;
and that she was not captured, was owing to the sud-
den panic which seized her crew, and her superior
sailing. When she attempted to board the second
time, the determined spirit of resistance shish ap-
peared in the packet's crew, daunted the enemy, who
'Lade* Sheered off without closing. The packet
store to grapple with her, but could only reach her
;flsiini one half of which was torn off and remained
:3 possession of the packt as a trophy of her victory.
Our readers will be glad to hear that the veteran
Captain PETRY. (a thorough-bred seaman of the first
eater) is recoverin7 of his wound, but the ball is not
Ter extracted : it entered near the shoulder-bone. One
of the brave fellows died of his wounds, the others are
recovered.
