However unimportant in a military point of view the Walt Wel!
may be, the confemtences of the late Otirmilb between the
Swedes and P ruffians may podibly ailed every Power in Etr
rope. We arc happy, therefore, to lay before our readers, a
met eircumftantial and authentic account of that important
event.

.' Likuvosuaoki, SPRIT, 26.

" I embrace the eirlieft opportunity to give your
Excellency an account of the recent occurrences.—
The affair between the Pruffians and Swedes is the
general topic of converfation. I (hall repeat it to
you in the fame manner as it was related here by a
Pruffian Officer who was prefent—it agrees in many
particulars with the relation of feveral peafants from
that quarter.

" On the szd, in the afternoon, the Pruffians cons.
menccd their march from the environs of Baitzen-
burgh. Their force confined of the regimenta of
Tfchammer infantry. and of Beeren Cuiraffiers,
with four pieces of cannon. They continued their
march the whole night, and arrived early in the
morning of the 23d at Groffen-Seedorf, on the &hall
lake, where Count Lowenhielm had taken a potation
with his two hundred Lrave Swedifh horfe. In this
place he was turrounded, but this was agreeable to
his own plan ; for if he would have avoided it, he
mull have retreated, and would have been forced
over the frontier. He therefore. Coffered himfelf to
be furrounded, that he might afterwards fight his
way through, and retreat to a covered ground, where
be could better defend himfelfagainft a force fo much
fuperior to his own. When he was thus furrounded,
Colonel Von Beeren, who commanded the Pruffians,
rode up to him and faid. You fee that you are in
my power, but I have received jilting:non: to avoid
every hoflility, and have not even ordered my troops
to load; do, therefore, withdraw beyond the fron-
tier.' Count owenhielm's reply was (bort " Swedes
never furrender and immediately he commanded
his troops to face the Pruffian cavalry, which flood
dole, and which he attacked with impetuofity. Oue
offices and a number of men were wounded. The
moment that Count Lowenhielm had forced his way
through, he formed his troops in fmall corps, and
attacked en a-birder. Hereupon the enemy advanced
their (harp (hooters and infantry. One Swedifh bur-
far was (hot and feveral wounded. The Swedes con-
tinued to fend the fmall corps forward fucceffivelb
and in this manner the engagement Lifted until noon,
when the Swedes retreated over the frontier, Liking
all their wounded along with them, but returned in
the night, forced the Pruffians back, but went away
Again.

" Thus far goes the Officer's relation. On the 33d
in the afternoon, orders were received here for the
forty PrulTian (harp !hooters, who were left here, to
march to the (pot as expeditionfly as poffible, which
they did immediately. It feems now that the Swedes
have entirely withdrawn. The Pruffian Soldiers who
are here, (poke at &It very Meltingly of the Swedes;
but after this affair, they do not fay a word. What
has made a particular imprellion is, that, notwith-
fianding their great Superiority in numbers, the Prof.
fians were obliged to fend for a reinforcement. They
had even ordered two more regiments from the Lu-
nenburgh territory (on the other fide of the Elbe),
'and Come of the men had altullly arrived. If a
war fhnuld take place in Pomerania, this trilling
affair will undoubtedly make a great impreffion on
the Swedes. The difproportion was too great on
this ocealion, two hundred againft two thoufand five
hundred. Count Lowenhielm had Paid to his men
a week before, Every one of us will have to fight
forty Pruffians ; but we are Swedes, and things will
'go well, if each of you execute punetually what 1
Stall defire him.' He has been as good as his word,
and has them; what a man of link caa do with
brave men.

" Before the Swedes left this place, they took all
the money out of the Government Treafury,
in the order by which they demanded it, that they
would reftore it to the King of Great Britain."
