PARuiaisiviwar pßocupixes,

Maksr Von o"iefneve. Commandant of the fnrtrefs of Colbert,
made, on the slid% of June, the follovring report to his Majetty
the King of Sweden.
• Molt Migh I and mnf! Gracious King,
44 I herewith have the honour humbly to report
to your Majefly, the operations which have lately
taken place near this forted's, for the further par.i.
ciders of which I rerpedtfolly refer to my report, to
Lientenanr-General V..° Blucher.
14 Of materials, which.were but vary indifferent,
I had in hone railed a (mall field fortification on the
Wolfberg, limited about 2000 paces from the f. r-
nets. The enemy twice attacked' this fortification
and was twice repaired with confiderable lots. He
then began to lay a regular liege to it, completed
the &A and fecond parallel, and made mines under
the proteation of ten redoubts; more than 7000 not
had already been fired, when on the i ith June the
enemy's batteries began to play on the above fortifi-
caion, and made a preach. Your Majelly's frigate
Chapman came to anchor, and fired on the enemy
with great effea. Having filled his trenches with
troops, he fummnneck the Wolf bells which was half
deliroyed, and offered a kind of capitulation, which
was accepted. All the artillery was removed, and
thus the enemy obtained poll-Ann of that final' for-
tification after ten days liege.
" Since that time on have made two vigorous
forties, in one of which we retook the Wolfberg in a
few minutes, which has colt the enemy a regular
loge. In there two tallies the enemy loft upwards
of sOOO men ; not hnwitter was taken, fix pieces of
cannon (piked, and nearly a whole battalion made
prilaners ; among whom were one Colonel, one
Lieutenarit Colonel, two Captains, and ft: Lieute-
nants.
" I carrot dote this report withnnt making the
