STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 22.

His Highness Prince Frederic of Hessenstein, Go-
ncrnor•Gencral of Pomerania, Field Marshal and
Knight, Commander of his Royal Majesty's Orders,
&c. died at Pankttr, in Holstein, on the 27th July
last, in his 74th year.

On the 19th inst. his Royal Majesty illkeived a
report from Vice-Admiral Baron Rayalin, whereby
it appears, that on the 18th a sharp action took
place between the Russian and Swedish flotillas of
galleys inPalma Sound. Notwithstanding the enemy's
vast superiority in number, he met with a vigorout
resistance, and sustained a severe loss; two Russian
gun-boats, and one armed cutter, having been sunk
during the battle. On the Swedish side two gun-
boats were lost, one of which foundered, and the
other was blown up ; but the rest of the vessel;

Wednesday, the Russian Flvet, from Lisbon, ap-
peared off Plymouth Harlicur, working to the East-
• ward, with the wiad at South-East.

• We this day present sonic farther extracts from the
Swedish papers, received by the Gottenhurgh
of yesterday. By a Gentleman who arrived by the
same packet we learn, that on the 15th and 16th of
September the Archduke CoNSTANTISE anti M. C.tt:-
3-INCOURT passed through Koningsberg ; and his Ist-
?rant MAJ'ESTY was expected by the 19th at farthest,
with a magnificent suite, on his way to Erfurth.
Nay, a Gentleman just landed at Yarmouth says,
that AtExmawn actually passed through Koningsberg
on the ISth. Thus he has commenced a journey of
morothan I'AOO miles fur the purpose of meeting a
man for whose crimes he and all his Court once went
into mourning.

We also lay before our Readers some farther ex-
tracts from the Spanish Papers. They give a very
different account of the result of General DuitEssiles
sortie from Barcelona, from that contained in the
Moniteur. Far from having dispersed the combined
corps of Insurgents (as the enemy terms them), troops
of the line, and British Auxiliaries, and captured se-
veral of the latter, it appears he was completely re.
pulsed, and driven back to Barcelona with disgrace.
We fear, however, that he obtained some advantages
subsequently.
The Address of the Count de MosTiro, on his ar-
rival at Madrid, will be read with peculiar interest.
He states his motives, and evinces the propriety of his
conduct in retreating from Tudela towards Saragossa'
on the re-advance of the enemy. We hope that neither
the advice intirriated, nor the inforn,ation conveyed in
the following paragraph, will be found futile or ill-
founded :
" The most interesting objsct, and that which chiminti• your
spee2iest attention, is the cornpkte expulsion of th,- k retry, who,
frwri the mere knowiNige that wt are courto,tuli: g our forctc,
arr prepar;Trjoefight."

.Sir ARTHUR WELL, who arrival St Ply-
rt.iutlf we mentioned yesterday, has since reached
awn, accompanied by General FF.fect• ssos:, Lord T.
SomnsEr, the Hon. Captain SiaNflof.E, Captain
Mews'!, and some other Officers. The whole of these
Ofilcers will give evidence upon the enquiryrespecting
the disgraceful Convention of Lisbon, which will
take place immediately on the arrival of Sir HEW
DALRIMPLE : he is expected in England in the course •
of three or four days. Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY left
Lisbon on the :Nth ult. at which time nearly the whole
of the French, consisting of about twenty-seven thou-
sand men, of whom upwards of eighteen thousand
were soldiers, had embarked, and the first division
had sailed for France. Sir HEW DALRYMPLE
had issued a Proclamation add*ssed to the Portu-
guese, a copy of which i; given in another part of our
Paper. It announces the complete re-establishment
of the legitimate Portugeese Government, the restora-

Lion of the Council a Replier appointed by the
Prince of BRAZILS, the adoption of a system of police,
and gives general iastructions for the conduct of the
people in the pres:nt circumstances, accompanied
with a menace of the interposition of the British mili-
tary in case of disobedience.—Sir H. BURRARD is to
have the command in Portugal, pro tempore Sir JOHN
MOORE commands the force about to proceed against
the enemy in Spaip ; and Sir DAVID BAIRD'S expedi.
tion is to be employed in the same service. Not less
than 40,1300- British soldiers will shortly be in full
action against the enemy, in that quarter.

A Monittur, containing General Jt•aor's account
of the battle of Vimiera, is in town. We have not
seen it ; but we are informed that it disguises the facts
to such a degree, that but for the dates and names of
places, it could not be known to allude to the events
of which we have already had the details.

Yesterday his MAJESTY, Princesses SOPHIA, At:-
GI:STA, and A my.t.i.t, accompanied by Lady Tin NNE,
General Frrzßoy, and Colonel TAYLOR, rode in
\Virdsor•rark, and returned at noon to the Palace.

The QUEEN and Princess ELIZABETH took an air
irg to F. ogmore-lodge, and walked in those beautiful
gardens.
Yesterday there was a Cabinet Council at the 170-
reign Office, at ve:iich the greater part of the Members
assisted.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of WALLS and
Duke of tiussta, with the Marquis and Marchioness
of Do..vssutieE, dined at the White Hart, Chippiv
Norton, on Tuesday last, on their road to the Marquis
of BUCKINGHAM'S.

Yesterday afternoon the I-lon-nimble FITZROY
STANHOPE, Aid-du-Camp to Sir Anntrit
LEV, arrived in town from Portugal. Immediately
after his arrival he waited on his Royal Highness the
Commander in Chief, at his house in the Stable-yard,
St. James's.

Sir Citmtt.rs BRISBANE is appointed Cnverner of
St. Vincent's.

Saturday last, MCSsTS. BOLLAND, GOODRICH, CARR,
and MILLER, of Trinity College, Cambridge, were
elected Fellows of that society.
BATII.—The following arc among the last fashion-
able arrival, at this place : _

Vi,countess Baron Dreschel, Lord Palmerston, Lady
Caroline Morrison, Honourable Mr. Barnwell, Sir Henry, Lady,
4nd Miss strachs y, Sir M. Wood, Sir H. Mils:may, Sir \V. Bar-
ker, Sir John, Lady, and Miss Thomas, Sir 1. and Miss Mans-
field, Major Central and Mrs. Rayne and family, Col. Jacques,
Col. and Mr.. C:117121101, and Captains Mant and Hallett.

BOYAPAIITE'S' metaphor, respecting which much
misconception seems to prevail, of making the " Leo-
pards of England crouch to the Eagla of France ,"
is entirely Iledaldic. Before the Accession of the
House of ANsou, or second French Dynasty, to the
throne, the Armorial Bearings of England were Two
Leopards passant. •HENHY I.T. was the first Prince
who assumed the 'Place Lions pas.rant gardaw, and in
which he has been imitated by his Successors; but
the Gallic Potentate, on the t.ccasion alluded to,
thought proper to designate the English by their
original ensign—The Leopards.
We understand that the Travels in Spain and part
of Portugal, lately published ir. two Volumes, .svere
the production of that accomplished Gentleman, the
late T. D. Wurrrnswros, Esq. of St. John's College,
Cambridge, and Theberton Hall, Suffolk. Some in.
considerable interpolations, calculated to add to the
temporary value of the Work, were made in the pro-
gress of the sheets through the press, by the Editor,
a Gentleman of distinction in the literary world.
. In the list of Patriotic S...ibscriptions published in
the Madrid Gazette, we find a donation of 1;0,000 reals
and 1.1- mules from the Minister 1)on PLonoCEvALLos.

An apology was lately made for a young Gentle-
man, a great promoter of as.;-rar....- at 'Margate, that
it was his h4bby-htrse !
An Irish Dramatic wr:ter has just published a
Tragedy, which he says has been kept more than
double the period prescribed by HORACE.—For thir-
teen years it was locked up in manuscript : and be-
tween six and seven years it was kept—in the Prinhr's
11(47Th*use ! we know not what HORACE would have
said to this improvement on his plan.

THEATRE ROYAL, Irma-LANE.—Mr. KYNNEY'S
popular comedy of The World was performed last
night to a brilliant and crowded audience. The only
nr.r:elty in the performance ffoni last season is Mr.
l'ENLia- in the part of Mr. Social, which he tilled with
mush excellence. Mrs. JORDAN looked extremely well,,
and was most fascinating in Lady Bloon!firld. The
com-dy went uif with great spirit, and the audience
Weit MOH VOC:feroll9 tar.til Mr. ELLISTON delighted'
them with the epilogue. Tire musical entertainment'
of The De.retter followed ; Mr. I. SMITH, for the first
time, sustained the part of Henry with considerable
effect. Mrs. Copra's timidity still throws a shadow
over her exertions. Mrs. BLAND, and MCMS. BAN-
NISTFR and RI7FSELL were excellent.

Yesterday- morning early '2O prisoners, under sen-;
tence of transportation, were conveyed from Newgate
in hackney-coaches to Woolwich. Amongst them
v. ere six w ho had endeavoured to effect their escape
on Monday morning; the seventh, who had jumped
off the prison-wall into the garden belonging to the
College of Physicians, and whose back was reported
to he broken, is now in a fair ..vay of recovery.
A few days since, abc.ut four o'clock in the after-
noon, the dwelling-house of Mr. jONE.., in Paternos-
ter-row, was rubbed of various pieces of silk, con-
taining 150 yards, and several articles of silver plate.
The account of the daring attempt to, rob the house
of the Countess of MonroN, in Park-street, on 'Wed-
nesday evening, given in the STAR yesterday, attrac-
ted, during the whole of the afternoon, a great con-
course of people round the, watch-house in Mount-
street, to which the two wounded robbers had been,
carried, many expecting to see them brought out to
undergo an examination at Marlborough-street Po-
lice Office. Strangers, however, were disappointed,
the prisoners being in a dangerous state. One of
them, who had been shot in the arm, underwent am-
putation close to the socket of the shoulder. The
other, who had his leg broken, and whose name is
.lames Stadley, has been but three weeks liberated from
Newgate, and is the reported Captain of a numerous
gang of housebreakers, is also in a dangerous state.
