was found that they were still in the greatest confu-
sion, destroying every thing that could impede their
flight. During the course of the night they blew up
several ammunition waggons and tumbrils, and
spiked and buried several pieces of cannon. General
BERESFORD had taken the road to Chaves, and Sir
ARTHUR WELLESLEY tO Braga, in order to cut off the
' enemy's retreat.

THE ARMY.

The Ist battalion 52d Regiment, about 1100 strong
marched into Dover on Wednesday, from Deal 8,,r-
-racks, and embarked onboard the transports in the roads
which arrived the night before from the Downs.
The Ist battalion 95th Rifle Regiment, upwards
of 1200 strong, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel
BECKWITH, arrived at Dover yesterday morning at
seven o'clock from Hythe, and embarked on board
the transports lying in the roads, in high spirits. The
transports immediaiely got under weigh, with his
Majesty's sloop Kangaroo, which is to convoy therm
to the Downs—their destination is not known.
The Lancashire Militia, which were to have march-
ed from Plymouth this week, in four divisions, for
Bristol, have received counter orders.
The transports having on board the 43d Regiment
sailed from Harwich yesterday morning, at six o'clock,
for the Downs, under convoy of the RINALDO sloop
of war.

York Militia, consisting of 200 men, marched from
Plymouth-Dock, to take the duty at Dartmoor bar-
racks ; and on Monday another detachment of 300
men from the same regiment proceeded to escort 500
French prisoners, the first who are to take their con-
finement at that extensive depot.
The 94th regiment are now on their march from
Dunbar, on their route for Aberdeen.
The Edinburgh regiment of militia marched from
Musselburgh on Saturday. They have been stationed

SWEDISH PAPERS.
This day we received Swedish Papers to the 19th
instant.

&rocKnoLm, MAY 15 —ln the sitting of the Diet of
the 14th inst. thanks were unanimously voted by the
Statestoield-Marshal Klingspor, Gen. Adlercrantz,
and Lieut.-Colonel Adlersparre, for the distinguished
parts they have taken in saving Sweden from the
utter destruction with which she was threatened, and
it was also resolved that the proceedings of the Diet
should be printed. The States also determined that
a deputation of the Nobility, Clergy and Citizens,
and Peasantry, should wait on his Royal Highness to
express the high sense they entertained of his readi-
ness to step forth at his advanced age, to undertake
the reins of Government, in order to save the country
from impending ruin.
These papers contain a copy of the speech with
which his Royal Highness the Duke of SUDERMANIA
opened the Diet on the 9th instant, but it possesses
no interest whatever. The principal topic is the dan-
ger with which Sweden was threatened by continuing
the war; and that the revolution is a blessing, is main-
tained on this ground—the enemy has already sus-
pended all hostile operations:

Thursday the Galloway militia marched into quar-
ters at Leith.

A Message from his MAJESTY was delivered last
night to both Houses of Parliament, announcing a
Treaty with Austria, and requesting that Parliament
would enable his MAJESTY to subsidize that Power, as
also Spain and Portugal. Mr. PERCEVAL, in the
Commons, hesitated to declare the sum that might
he necessary ; but the Earl of LIVERPOOL, in the
Lords, stated it at three millions.
Yesterday, a Deputation from the American Mer-
chants had another interview with the Board of Trade,
to receive information respecting the protection which
his Majesty's Ministers propose to afford to those
commercial speculations which the appearance of an
adjustment of the differences with the United States
had encouraged. It was stated to be the intention of
his Majesty's Ministers, to permit the vessels coming
from America, under the arrangement made by Mr.
ERSKINE, to proceed to Dutch ports, and that, in pur-
suance of this intention, the blockade of the coast of
Holland would be suspended from the 9th of June to
the 9th of August next ; thus protracting, during
two months, for the accommodation of the American
trade, the execution of that general system of block-
ade which was announced in the late Orders in Coun-
eil.—This suspension of the blockade of Holland was
also notified yesterday to the Dutch Merchants, to
whom the measure, we understand, has given consi-
derable dissatisfaction. The ground of their objec-
tion is, that the Americans will immediately glut the
Dutch market with the great quantity of foreign pro-
duce they will pour into it, and completely preclude
the sale of English cargoes. The Dutch merchants,
and the merchants trading to the Continent in. gene-
ral, it is reported, mean, therefore, to remonstrate
against this measure. ' PORTSMOUTH, MAY es.
