MALMO, ATRIL 7.

Baron de Bojie, Aide de-Camp to his Malefic, ar-
rived yefterday with difpatches from Baron D'Effen,
Governor General of Pomerania, of which the
following is an extrain
Heed. Quarters at Demnien, April 4.
Having received certain information of the enemy's
having commenced his retreat from Pomerania by
final) detachments, I ordered the following troops to
advance in two columns, for the purple of forcing
him to quit his intrenchments, and to abandon
Swedifh Pomerania. The fire column, under my
orders, was commanded by the Chief of Brigade
Baron de Tavan, and confined of eight fquadrons of
huffars, a detachment of flying artillery, and tour
battalions of infantry, with their divifions of chat':
feurs. The fecond column was of equal force with
the fire, and was commanded by the chief of brigade
Baron de Vegefack, tinder the orders r f Lieutenant
Gen. Baron D'Armfeldt. There two columns march-
ing en the fame line, met with the enemy at Lufrow,
attacked him, and, after a vigorous refinance, forced
him to abandon that pot, and to retire npnn Satter.
hagen. Here the attack was again renewed; a very
brifk fire from his light troops checked us for fame
time, but the fire from the artillery attached to our
two columns, loon obliged him to retire upon Voig.
dehaged. where he was attacked in front by the co-
lumn tinder Baron D'Armfeldt, and tcpulfed with
great lofs ; his left flank having been at the fame
time turned by the corps under the command of
Baron De 'Pavan.
While our warps were carrying the village of
Voigdehagen, the enemy had abandoned his batteries
and intrenchments before Stralfund, and had in-
trenched himfelf anew on the heights between Voig-
dehagen and Tefchenhagen, on which he had planted
battery of four pieces of cannon and two howitzers,
whofe inceffant fire prevented our troops from ad-
vancing, till our artillery had fucceeded in difrnount
ing them. The lofs of the enemy cn this cccalion
mutt have been confiderable, (ince an officer in the
Dutch fervice has Lid that only 24 men of his regi-
ment were left alive. We had but three officers and
about zo men wounded in this affair.
The enemy (hardy afterwards quitted his pqfition,
and retired upon Tefchenhagen, after having vainly
attempted to make himfelf matter of a mufti cover
ed with underwood, but was prevented fr.an in
doing by two companies of infantry, who. by a well
funained fire, obliged him to retire. My column
then made a movement, in order to halals the left
flank of the enemy, whole retreat thorny became
general, retiring from poll to poll, with the lofs of
many prifoners, a quantity of baggage, and maga-
zines of all kinds, of which we have not yet had time
to make out complete returns. My colunin took
poffeflion of Loitz on the 2d of April, and, the fame
day, Baron D'Armfeldt's column entered Grerifwahl,
where it took fix officers, and a great many French
foldiers fell into our hands, as well as the enemy's
hafpital, where we recovered all the Swedifh fiddlers
who had been wounded and taken prifoners in the
aaion of the 14th of March., Above icoo mufkets,
200 brace of pinols, and confiderable magazines,
were found there. On the 3d of April, 1 entered
Demnien with my column, and I tent on my light
troops in put fuit of the enemy towards Mecklenhourg.
The garrifon of Demnien were all made prifoners
after a feeble refinance. Some fmall detachts.ents of
huffars, fent in purfoit of the enemy, were continually
coming in with French and Dutch prifoners; and
three hnffars alone took 104 men on the road to
Neukahlan. A great number of pi ironer s were made,
and Tome (lands of arms and provifions taken from
the enemy at Darguhn.
A detachment, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel
Baron de Cederftrom, took a quantity of baggage
from the enemy, together with two officers and zo7
frldiers. The magazines that have been taken are
very confiderable, but there has not as yet been time
to make out returns.
I cannot fufficiently praife the good condtia, the
bravery, the coolnefs, and the prefence of mind
evinced by the chief of brigade Baron de 'Pavan.

he marched againft the enemy, keeping up a kelt fire from his
battery. He very rapidly drew towards the left wing of the enemy,
with a view to march round the Paine, and purfucd them until the
night let in, which obliged him to delitt. The arrival of Lieut.
General Lcltocq, and the activity with which he performed all
his movements, contributed very much to infure our victory....
Whillt the batteries of our left wing were very !windy cannona-
ding the ere ey, and whilft Lieutenant General Leltocq began le
purfue them, the enemy, who had occupied the village of Schlo-
ditten, did not dare to attack our right wing, which confiaed only
of the divifion of Ger.cral Toutfcbkrff, beaefe it was covered by
the fire of a ftrong Pruffian battery, witch General Fock had
ended there on an eminence. At right fah I caufed the enemy
to be driven front the village of Sehloditten, where they loft a
number of men. The Coliacks particularly dittinguilhed them-
(elves during the whole of the battle, and took 473 prifoners.
" This sanguinary battle, which was begun on the 26th January
(7th February) at three in the afternoon, ended on the following
day at jithiight. The enemy's lois. by ihe.:- own conft-ffion,
amounts to 30,300 killed and 12,0c0 wounded ; aeon French are
taken, and it eagles arc in our poffeffion Our lois confifts of
I 2,0J0 killed, and 7,9,..0 wounded. Fourteen French Generals
are tither killed or wounded--we have nine General officers
wounded, bat molt of them in tightly, that they have already re-
joined the army.
" I ihould trankrefs the firft of my duties, if I omitted giving
to the troops of your Majeky that tellimemy of perfever big bravery
which they deferve, and alluring your Majefty, that your army,
whiltt it has acquired treili and ininv..rtal glory, difplays to the
world a new and ever memorable example, to prove what a people
can do, when fighting for the defence of tocir country. and ready,
at the expellee of their blood and lite, to tulill. the generous views
of their adored Sovereign. In vain diet &map •rte lava his van
ftfources; in vain did he endeavour to exeste the courage of his
fuldius, and in vain did he facrifice fo great a part of his army.
The bravery and perfevering courage of the Ruffians hare with-
flood all his efforts, and wrested from tn.,' a victory which long
was doubtful.
' Aa I remained molter of the field of battle, I cmtb:ued there
during the night, in the courfe of which I conflicted what was
Leceffary to he done ; and! tett happy 111 having adoeted the de-
termination of marching to Koningfberg. TLere I could procure

after a coodneed and glorious eseitiuti, die army found that re-
ptile which was fo fleetest y to it, while the French army, weak-
ened and difeouraged, remained under arms. I was is hopes, by
thus falling back, to induce the French army to follow one ; but
