eLORIOUS lIITILLIGENCE VAQ'M THZ
NORTH.
A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning, and it
has furnished us with a full and ample confirmation
of the victories gained by the Russians, on the 30th
and 31st, which we subjoin. It saves us from all
further trouble ia detecting the falsehoods of the
French details of their shameful defeat on these oc.
casions. The siege of Riga has now been commenced
in downright earnest, aad the 'Garrison are animated
with the most confident hopes of repelling their in-
vaders. It now appears, that the deity in bringing
up the battering train was occasioned by a deficiency
of horses in the French army—this is an ample con-
firmation of what we have already stated, on the
authority of private individuals on this subject.
From all parts of Sweden, the intelligence is
highly animating ; the recruiting for the army
goes on with unprecedented enthusiasm, and the vi-
gorous and resolute conduct of the Crown PaiNca
has been such as to banish all suspicions of his fide,
lity to the Swedes. The Expedition had not sailed
on the 19th, the doe of our advices from Sweden by
the above mail.

The French Emperor has established a Chamber of
Commerce at Dantzic, with permission to grant li-

words to enable him to obtain supplies for his army.
The Berlin Papers from which the Swedish Jour-

of the French Bulletins—.they are full of scurrilities
against Russia ;

The right of the French were at first victorious,
but it continued bun: short time—a desperate charge
