FROM THE GOTTENBURGH MAILS.

STOCKHOLM FEB. 16.—According to a report made
by Field-Marshal Baron Toll, the following letter has
been received from the Commander of the English gun-
brig Charger:
"As, under the present circumstances, an attack of this fortress
may, perhaps, be attempted, I beg leave to tender my own ser-
vices, as well as those of nip officers and men,and request that a
post may be assigned to us, where we can render ourselves useful
tor the defence of the place. "JOHN SLOW."

His Royal Majesty has received the following re-
ports:—
" In consequence of several reports having been received, stating
that Russian Cossacks bad snade their appearance in Kumlinge,
Enklinge, and other neighbouring places, I have ordered a new ex-
peitioa against Kumlinge, under the command of Lieutenant Co-
lonel Schertzenheim, consisting of 600 foot of the Ist and 3d bri-
gades, and 80 horse, of the Life-Guard, with two 3-pounders.
The corps moves this day to Warlock, in order to reach Kum-
linge to-morrow in three columns, early in the morning. The
object of this expedition was to dislodge the enemy from the
above places, to save the most valuable part of the property of the
inhabitants, aud.to destroy the rest.
(Signed) " L. B. Pry RON, Adjutant-General, and
Commander of his Majesty's troops.
" Head-quarters, Jomala, Jan. 28, 1809."
" The expedition mentioned in my last report became more
necessary, as before the troops put themselves in motion,
Bence was received of the Cossacks appearing in greater force, and
one of our out-posts having been driven in.
" The troops ordered on that expedition reached Kumlinge on
the 29th of last month, and after they had succeeded in driving
the enemy out of the place rind its environs, the most valuable
part of the property of the inhabitants was saved. The object
of the expedition having thus been obtained, the troops returned
to their quarters in Aland. (Signed) a. B. PEYRON,

Pi%RLIAMENTART PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, MARCH S.

Counsel were heard in the Appeal, Roche v. Morsel!. Judg-
ment on Monday.
The Distillation Prohibition Bill, after a few observations from
the Earl of DARNLEY, was read a second time—as was the
Spirit Importation Suspension Bill ; both of which were ordered
to be committed on Monday.
SLR GEORGE BROGRAVE'S DIVORCE BILL.

The Chambermaid at an Inn at Newmarket appeared, and
vtated her having seen Lady Brograve and Captain Elwin there,
and her afterwards having observed the state of Lady Brograve's
bed, which induced her to believe two persons had slept in the
room ; at the same time, she had reason to presume Captain
Elwin's had not been slept in, but only pressed down by the hand.
A young man, employed as a domestic in the service of Sir G
Brograve, related the acquaintance which subsisted between that
family and Captain Elwin. He was commissioned by Sir George
to learn the whole of Lady Brograve's conduct on her journey to
her sister's, in Yorkshire, from Ann Wiles ; and, after his com-
munication of wha: had thus come to his knowledge, Sir George
broke off all connection with her Ladyship. The witness himself,'
previous to that journey, had observed the marked attention paid
her by Captain Elwin, particularly in the absence of Sir George
Brograve.
Mr. WILSON, after making a few remarks on the conduct of,
Sir George Brograve, said, there were no other witnesses he
should now callbefore the House, 'elating to this transaction.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, the House would tate
further time to form their opinion on the evidence delivered, and
in the mean time it might be competent fur the Counsel to pro-
cure the attendance of the servant from Stamford.
Mr. WILSON, in answer, again intimated the situation of that
witness, being near bet delivery. The proceedings were then
postponed, ,ins die.
CONVENTION IN PORTUGAL.

The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE moved for Copies of the
Remonstrances from Portugal, respecting the Armistice and
Convention, and the Note from the Portuguese Minister, which
accompanied them. His Lordship regretted that one considera-
tion had not been paid to the feelings of the inhabitants of Portu•
gal on that occasion. He expressed his satisfaction that Ministers
had shewn themselves snore ardent with respect to the protection
of that country than they had some months ago, and that they:
now about to do that, namely; to take effectual measures
for id defence, which they should have done six months since.—
His Lordship condemned the mode iu which the Regency bad
been established.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL, with the bust disposition to afford
the House every information in his pow( r, telt it incumbent on
him to resist the present motion. The papers alluded to by the
Noble Earl were transmitted without authority, and so sensible
was the Portuguese Minister of the impropriety of making them
public, that win n they were called for on the Court of Inquiry,
he requested that they might not be produced. They could in
fact disclose noshing that was not perfectly known before. It was
notorious that the Portuguese disapproved of certain articles in
the Convention and Arinistice. It was also known that his Ma-
jesty's Ministers disapproved of them.
After i few observations from Lords SIDMOUTH, BUCK-
INGHAMSHIRE, and ROSSLYN, the motion was withdrawn.
