tient thither from Abo, as these Swedish troops from
Ilmea are between Wasa and Abo ; and besides this,
the new expedition from Aland will
tional force to our proceedings. give an addi-
. " An anecdote, proving the persevering and con-
'rageous disposition of the young troops, was told a
few days ago. In the engagement at Pargas, the
battalion commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Reuter-
crona lost a great deal of men, as it was nearly im-
possible to reduce theirs to a retreat. As long as they
had any ammunition left, they would fire away, and
thought themselves lost if theyttuned tbeir front from
the enemy. A brave young country lad having b
wounded very severely, was extremelyeneaged against
the Russians at the operation of taking the ball out
of his body ; and when taken out, wanted to see it,
at which sight he exclaimed, with a loud satisfaction,
e When I am well again, I will return you this pre-
sent, ye rascals, and try to give it in suck a manner
as to make its effect more certain."
. i• The rumour of Cuopio being retaken by the Rns-
sians is probably ungrounded, as no farther details
about anv such thing has arrived • and, by the re-
ports of Klingspor, it is evident ;hat reinforcements
had been sent to Colonel Sandals, who commands
:in those quarters.
" P. S. Just now, news are circulated, that travel-
lers, arrived today, have met the King at Korpo
Strom. A battle has really taken place between the
lisvedish gunboats under Admiral Hjilmstjeina and
a Russian flotilla, probably part of our former Swea-
horg squadron. We have taken eight gun-boats :
first, one which was reconnoitering, and aftervrards in
the battle the other seven. This was last Saturday,
lin the neighbourhood of Abo. A Russian Bulletin,
about the engagement at Pargas, has bcea published
in Finland, where it is said, a that a most fierce and
barbarous attack had been made by the Swedes. We
(the Rusiians) have lost 300 men, but were happily
displaying so much valour, that we drove the Swedes
to their . boats again, which was so much the more
glorious, as the disproportion of number was so very'
great to the advantage of the Swedes, who were no
less than' 10,000 men, and we (the Russians) had no '
more than 2000 to oppose them." Now this is truly
the reverse of truth, because it is really to--be feared,
.that our whole expedition never amounted to 4000',
(rather, too little for such an undertaking), and the
Russians, at least towards the end of the battle, were '
very numerous."
GOTTENpURGH, JULY 8.
According to private letters from Stockholm re-1
ceived by the post of to-day, the`King is gone to-Fin-
land, for the purposeof having a meeting with the Em-
peror Alexander. it is stated these letters, that the 1
reason ,of the successes of the Swedes against the
Russians in Finland has been, that considerable
numbers of the latter have been ordered to march
into Russian Poland, which country, it is :immured,
BONAPARTE has demanded ; and those Letters go
so far as to say, that the meeting of Alexander I
and Gustavus has for its object the forming
a new coalition against France, to which Austria will
join all its force. These reports, we fear, are at
least premature, if not entirely unfounded.

'The trade of Prussia has suffered very much since
"the eruption of a war wida Sweden and England,
iindis at present so much reduced, that it extends
oonly to the interior of Russia and the adjacent coun-
tries. As hardly any shipments of Russia produce

Consequence, have declined very considerably.
By American and Dutch vessel's which have lately
reached Rio, Revel, and this place, we have re-
ceived supplies of colonial produce, wines, &c. &c.

*All the goods are still lying at the Custom House,

termination about the above mentioned goods will be
;riven, till there is a peace re-established with Eng-
land, and even then it is uncertain what may be the
tendency of such a resolution. We believe-that this
country will not remain much longer at war with
England ; but so much is certarn, that the conclusion
of a peace with her, would lead inevitably to a war

Letters from Stockholm state, that the departure

of the second day after he emitted Stockholm ; and
that the King of Sweden was violent in the expression

man, however, even those who are the nearest to his
Majesty, completely acquit Sir Jostx Moons of all
Marne in the conferences which he had with the King.
The propositions that hereadefor theernployment of the
British troops, are said to have been not only totally in-
compatible with the instructions Sir Jou!: MoonE had
received, but with all sound discretion. The amount
of the force was under l 1,000 men, and yet it was
proposed to send that body first-upon one service, ther.
upon another, to which tlyeetimes their number would
have been unequal, and that without any previous
provision being made, or even any infvrrnatlon ob-
tained.

N We Otis day te‘nt:nue extracts firm the rrtnish
Journals, which we hare now received to the Rth inst.

The def-eat of the French General LEFEVREi near
Saragossa, is conffrmed in an official Proclamation of
the Junta at Seville (which, with other interesting ex-
tracts from the Spanish Journals, will be found in
another coltarrn), and con!irmed by several private
letters which have been communicated to us. The
details of this glorious atchievement are unfortunately
vanting ; and we aro, for the moment, deprived of
the pleasure of :earning by what exertion of skill, or
irresistable eCort of gallantry, a division of French •
veterans, headed by one of the ablest officers in the
'ervice, has been wholly annihilated ; and, to use the
language of the Proclamation, " that not a single
man remained to tell the dismal narrative to his coun-
trymen." The letter;differ respecting the magnitude
cil.EvEvits's fe:ce. One of these states, that 1,1,(KK)
r:ench fell under the walls of Saragossa, and that the

rrrnaining 5000, in endeavourlng to effect their re.
!rear, were driven into the Ehto.

The defeat of the French army under General
Nlnw.:sy is also confirmed. It appears that he had
cannonaded and vigorously assailed the city of Va-
11,rttia for upwards of seven hours, but the intrepidity
:Ind vahrtr of the brave Patriots ultimately prevailed, i
and the enemy, defeated by the well.directed fire of 1
tile garrison, made a precipitate retreat, leaving be-
hild them Ole!: almerous dead, and greatly embar-
. rimed by the number of their vvoungled. In the ut-
most constertatlon and distress, the remains of the
•rrmy took ttie route of Abnanza, and the necessary
measures were promptly taken by the Patriots to cut
nfr their retreat, and effect their entire destruction.
Their killed and wounded was immense. Among
-he prisoners were General BERTHIVR and his Aid-
e-Camp, who were conveyed to Valentia.
Accounts had also been received from Catalonia,
'onfirrning the intelligence of the defeat of the enemy,

near Barcelona, whls the aZdition that Ge::,:ral Sc
was e3ther killed or desperately wounded.

•
It was further announced, that the Catalan pca-
cants had been joined by those of Bouillon, and that
the forts of Figueras and Bellegarde were in the
hawk of the PATRIOTS. The same accounts added,
that nothing could exceed the indignation and disgust
raanifestcd by the People of France at the atrocious
conduct of their Go►ernment towards the Spanish
Nation.

Our advices from Carthagena come down to the

13th of June. This was one of the first towns which i
declared against the French. The revolution com-
menced there on the 23c1 May, when a Junta was ;
formed from among theinhabitants most distinguished
for their patriotic spirit. The port was opened to the
English by Proclamation, on the 10th of June, at
which time '20,030 volunteers were enrolled, most of
whom were put in possession of arms, and regularly I
trained. General CARO, who served against the French
in the late war, was appointed Cammander-in-Chief. I
Between 8 and 10,000 regulars had joined the patrio-
tic force, accompanied by -he hest disciplined part of
which they marched towards Madrid.
According to the latest accounts received at Cadiz,
iGeneral Dorosr was still entrenched at Andujar.
I T-lis force was not supposed to exceed 7000 men. '
!When he presented himself first before Cordova, it
amounted to 10,000 at least. The difference between
these two numbers, it is inferred, he must 1-ave lost in
the various conflicts with the Patriots. Advices of
his surrender were hourly expected. It was reported,
that he bad oTered to capitulate on condition that he
was allowed to set -I a number of covered waggons
loaded nut of Spain to France ; a proposal which
was peremptorily rejected. He was induced to pro-
pose these new terms, it was said, in consequence of
5000. French tro-ps, detached from Madrid to his
aid, having been compelled to return to that city,
after having sustained considerable loss, and lo::ing
1241 waggons, loaded with carious stores and provi-
sions, in the attempt to extricate him.

Dispatches were this morning reteived at the Ad-
miralty, from our Squadron cruizing off the Northern
Coast of Spain, dated the 15th instant, which con• ,
tain the gratifying intelligence of the recapture of St.
Andero. It appears etat General PONT% who com-
mands a division of the Patriotic Army, having
formed the plan of retaking that place, advanced
towards it with between three and four thousand
men, and concerted a plan of attack with some of
our ships of war that were cruizing off thi coast.
The French in St. Ando°, about 1600 men, did
not, however, think it prudent to wait for art attach,
for, about two o'clock in the morning of the 12th in-
stant, they evacuated the town, having first levied a
h,•avy contribution on the inhabitants, and destroyed
a'.l the arms in the place.

The part of the Asturian force under Gen. PONTE
and the Bishop of ST. ANDERO, amounts to about
!RIM men, but the whole Asturian army amounts
to above 40,000 men and it was generally expected
that an action would take place between it and Mar-
shal Brsster es army, which amounts to about 16,0r,0
Men, near Bilboa, of the result of which very little
doubt was entertained.

General CUESTA had advanced to Villepande, and
had taken possession of the bridge of Mayorca an I on
the Seco ; his intention was to make an attack upon
Valladolid, in which t'tere was a small French force,
for the purpose of cutting off all communication
between Burgos, at which there was a French corps
of 18,000 men, and Madrid.
MURAT still remains entrenched at Reteiro, with
about 5,000 men. JOSEPH BONAPARTE has at length
ventured into his new dominions ; he entered Biscay
the beginning of this month, with about four thousand
men ; he was at Bilboa on the 9th, at Toloso et the
10th, .and when the last accounts came away he was
At Vittoria. He was apparently afraid to proceed
farther, from the cool and contemptuous reception he
every where met with.
