COTTENBURGH, APRIL er.
The general post-office in Stockholm has given
notice that his Swedish Majesty has granted leave to
all Swedish merchants to correspond on lawful mer-
can sle transactions, with subjects of the ho••tile
rowers, on condition that the letters be previously
inspected and examined by the chief maghitrato of
each place.
APRIL 27.—A brisk cannonading was distinctly heard
here the whole of the ro ght of Moaday last, which proves
to have been an attack made by the English sloop
Daphne, and two others, upon the, harbour of Flas-
trand, in Jutland, out of which they cut ten ves-
sels laden with corn for Norway ; and this afternoon
arrived with their prizes.
APRIL 25.--. Our accounts from Norway to-day in-
forms us that the Swedish army has advanced as far
as Kongvenger, which is within ten Swedish, or 70
English miles of Christiania, and that they have
possessed themselves, by storm, of two essential forts
in that neighbourhood, in which they took 500 pri
soners, with very little loss on their side.
Some travellers have arrived within these few days
from Hamburgh, who bring news down to the
15th instant. They say, that '2OOO French troops
have entered Altona, and that they are in full pos-
session of Holstein, but thnt none of them have yct
come over to Zealand, A report prevailed, when
the traveller left the other side, that a great part of
the Danish flotilla and transport vessels had been de-
stroyyd by the English ships in the Belts, but this we,
rather doubt, as no official account of it has yet
reached us,
rnoct..cuniriow OF GENERAL ARMEELLPF, ON ESTEEING
NORWAY.

Inhabitants of Norway ! The vanish Government has de-
clared war against Sweden, without any provocation on her part
it has crowned the calamities which afflicted the North, and spon-
taneouly submitted to a foreign yoke.
The Swedish troops, therefore, enter your country according to
the laws of wax, in order to prevent hostilities front being conindt-
ted in their country. Big the laws of war are carried into execu-
tit.n
only by soldiers ; the peaceful inhabitants of the town and
ct.untry, if they excite no disturbances, strallenjoy tranquillity and
protection.
The Swedish soldiers, celebrated for order and discipline, re-
spect the personal safety and property of the unarmed.
Should Paov;oerce bless Ins Majesty's army ander my com-
mand, so far from proving hurtful to your different trades, I shall
open your ports to commerce and importation; quicken your in-
dustry, and secure in the North an asylum for loyalty and honour.

STOCKHOLM, APRIL 2.
His Royal Highness received a courier the night
before last, with dispatches from General Baron
Armfeldt, which cantaia the following of the 10th and
17th of this month :
M Colonel Gahn, in pursuance of his orders, which
directed bim to make a diversion, detached a corps of
180 foot and chasseurs, under the orders of Co-
lonel Baron Cedestrom, to attack Starbokelen, to push
forward as far as Nya, and to take post near that

Place.
a This detachment, however, met with so much re-
sistance, that General Cedestrom was obliged to fall
back by retrograde movements : ,this was effected in
the utmost order, and without being pursued by the
enemy, notaithstanding their vast superiority of
numbers.
