Y( s• erday letters, dated the Gth inst. were received
from Heligoland, which mention sorhe particulars con-
tained in Hamburgh and Altona papers that have not
yet reached us. Among other things, it is stated, that
the Russians have defeated the Swedes in several ac-
tions, and obtained possession of the whole of Finland.
As these Jburnals are, however, completely devoted to
the enemy, little reliance can be placed on unofficial
reports of this kind.
The accounts from Holland state, that a Loan has
been opened at Amsterdam, under the direction of the
principal merchants and bankers, for fitting out small
armed vessels. The first inscriptions, it is said, amoun-
ted to £E 600,000, and the books were to close in *the
beginning of the present month.
The report of the French troops having got to the
Island of Zealand, which prevailed yesterday, is not
mentioned in the letters from Heligoland, and we
therefore hope it is unfounded.
