" QUEBEC, JULY IS.
Notwithstanding the reinforcements we have re-
ceived this season, and which began to arrive early
in May, we have met a severe check in Upper,Ca-
nada, from their not being marched up to reinforce
our lines in that country. On the 3d of this month,
about 8000 Americans crossed from Buffalo Creek
to Fort Erie, at the entrance of the Lake of that name.
The fort having only 150 men, including Militia,
under the command of Major Bunt, of the King's, or
Bth Regiment, was obliged to capitulate. The Arne-
ricans then came down about 15 miles to a place
called Street's Creek, where they engaged 1500 of
our men, under Major-General RYAG, being detach.
'bents from the Royal Scots, King's or Bth Regiment,
100th Regiment, and Militia, with a party of Indians
and Artillery.

" The conflict was exceedingly sevete, and the
British were obliged to retreat, after having 150 men
killed and 300 wounded ; exclusive of these, upwards
of 26 Officers were killed and wounded ; among the
latter was the Marquis of TWEEDALIC, who had join-
ed his regiment only two days before; it is said he
will lose a leg.
" The above action took place on the sth instant.
The 1,4 s of the enemy has not been ascertained."

A Letter, said to have been received by a Gentle-
twin in Edinburgh, from his friend in Qnebec, dated
on the ISth July, mentions a report, that General
RIALL, having been reinforced, had attacked the
Americans in great force, and defeated them with
the loss of 2500 men, including one of their Generals
We have as yet no confirmation of the accuracy of
this report,

A Gottenbtirgh Mail arrived to-day, with another
Swedish Bulletin, and some farther details of advan-
tages gained' by the Swedes over the Norwegian
army, which continues to make a most desperate re-
sistance. Thit treatment of the inhabit.nts, armed
and unarmed, by the Swedes, deserves the highest
praise—they are treated with the utmost lenity—
even kindness. This will shorten the duration of the
contest more than a hundred victories. Wa subjoin
the following extracts from the Swedish Papers:

BULLETIN.
" HEAD QUARTERS, FREDERICKSTADT, AUG. 10.

61 On the 2d May, General Gahn, who had at
first, with 1400 men, repulsed the enemy, failed in
forcing him from a strong position, and fell back to
Malmer, without being pursued. He had 31 killed,
and 70 wounded. The enemy's loss was much
greater.

64 The next day the enemy, by a circuitous route,
having got in his rear with 5000 men and six pieces
of cannon, General Gahn, who had detached a divi-
sion to cover the baggage, and who had now only
1000 men and four pieces of cannon, was forced to
retreat. Tile detachment with the baggage was at-
tacked by, 1000 men ; the combat was bloody a Cap-
tain Keyleystierna, commanding the artillery, lost
26 horses and 32 men of the train. Our troops were
iv/Eu.l times obliged to force their way with the

bayonet thiongb the enemy's ranks. After flee hours
ftring, the.am unit,on being expended, the combat
ceased. The enemy returned to his old position at
Lier and Kongswruger. General Gahn lost in this
affair a 3-pounder, 20 baggage waggons, four Offi-
Cers, and 240 then, killed, wounded, and missing.
" The enemy acknowledges their loss to be very
considerable. We tcok 34 prisoners, among whom
one officer and tour serjt ants. Mr. E. von Eckstedt,
Judge of Carlstadt, whose zeal had induced him to
follow General Cahn, to see to the provisioning of
the troops, was killed in the heat of the action. A
considerable force is going to that quarter: 6000
men are collecting at Eda to penetrate into the inte-
rior of Norway, under Lieutenant-General Baron
Skoldebrand, unless the union should be amicably
effected.

" On the 6th, a deputation from Frederickshall
waited on his Royal Highness, who then removed
his head-quarters to Ingedal.
" General Baron Vegesack was ordered to force a
strong position taken by the enemy at Packestad, who,
with 3000 men and four cannon, defended the great
bridge. The General, by sending a detachment to
amuse the enemy, contrived to throw a bridge over
the stream on his right flank, by which two detach.
ments, under Major-General Vegesack, crossed and
attacked with the bayonet the enemy who came to
impede them. The enemy was repulsed and so
warmly pursued, that he with difficulty saved his
cannon, and left one powder waggon. A bridge was
also thrown over opposite the enemy's centre, who
was forced to quit his position, but the ground being
favourable, maintained himself some time in the
woods, but was driven from them by Captain Ber.
geustral, and then his flight became general. We lost
11 killed and 36 wounded. The enemy's loss is
above 160 killed and wounded, and 40 prisoners, of
whom one is a Captain.
66 On the 7th his Royal Highness moved his head-
quarters to Friederickstadt, the inhabitants of which
took the oath of allegiance, and this evening sponta-
neously illumin ited their town.
" The Bth, General Von Essen sent a detachment
to take possession of Thuno. We are getting up five
18-pounders which the enemy threw into the sea on
quitting Sannosand in the night. He also sunk a
vessel, in which we found four cannon, Ste.
" His Royal Highness ordered General Count
Morner to drive the enemy from Roton : the Gene.
ral repaired to the Island , with four battalions and
six guns. Colonel Hay was sent with a battalion to
reconnoitre the bridge at Kjolbergo. After driving
the enemy from Glummenge, the General bivouack-
ed there.
" On the 9th, his Majesty came to Frederickstadt
just as the Crown Prince was going on board to visit
him. His Majesty was in excellent health, and was
saluted by the gun-boats and the batteries on shore.
66 Generals Vigesack and Ciderstrom, arrived the
eveni..g before at Askim, and bivouacked opposite a
battery which the enemy had thrown up at Langenas,
to defend the passage over the Glommen : four pieces
of cannon in a tete-de-psi, and five on the other side
of the inlet, defended the passage. A strong recon-
noitring party of the enemy was repulsed, and we
sent a detachment to reconnoitre, which drove him
quite up to his entrenchments. Our object being at-
tained we resumed our position : our loss was 6'
killed and wounded—that of the enemy was great.
•a In the night he quitted the iae de-pont at Lange.
nas, and sunk two of his guns; Gen. Count Morner
forced the enemy to abandon Roton, and pursued
him to Kjolbergo bridge, which re broke down and
made a stand, protected by a battery, till our cannon
came up, when he retreated after a short resistance s
we took 4.0 prisoners.
" On the 10th his Majesty returned on board the
Gustavus, and as the fleet, now that Kragers and Fre-
derickstadt are taken, will be divided into squadrons,
his Majesty went to Stromstadt and thence to lidde-
Walla, to take the benefit of sea-bathing. His Ma.
jesty has made several naval promotions.
" We are now masters of the left bank of the
Glommen, from Lake Oejorn to Frederickstadt. Ge-
nerals Vegesack and Cederstrom are at Askin : Ge-
neral Hedersterna is at Groensuud, Count Essen's
head-quarters are at Hafslund.
•• A corps is to be detached by Aretnark, Orebro,
Orvalskeg, and Ramskog, to join General Galin.
The fleet goes up Cinitinfeorde, along the coast, to
support the army.
" The unfavourable reports spread by ill-designing
men concerning the SWedes, are tully contradicted
by Vie behaviour of the troops ; the affability of the
Crown Prince gains all hearts. The Clergy, except-
ing one Bishop, who is a Dane, and three or four
r,thers led by him, have behaved as becomes their
calling. The soldiers and peasants desert the enemy
in numbers, and return home. The Danish Generals
and Officers at the head of the Norwegian troops, do
all they can to keep the army and the people in igno.
ranee; but the moment is at hand when the army
and the people shall be revenged. Women, with the
Swedish Proclamations, pass our advanced posts, to
go and seek their husbands, and bring them back to
their families.
•• The inhabitants of the towns and villages return
home in crowds, and desire to take the oath of alle-
giance to their lawful King. All indicates that the
object will soon be obtained which will ensure for ever
the repose and happiness of the Scandinavians."

Colonel Alderkreuly has f Iced the enemy to abandon

was particularly attracted by the tractability of a deaf

her MAJESTY'S commands by her signs. The Royal
Family left the establishment about half-past one

CM: r FavouitorEs. —Much has been said at an
times, and in :ill nation;, about the number and the
wealth of court favourites, but never was there, per-1
haps, in aay age or country, so rich a phalanx of them
as will appear in fortune's Court on the Ist of Sep-
tember. when the Lott-ry draws ; for, as great Ca-
pital Prizes are abundant; and Tickets unusually
cheap, crowds are naturally pressing to purchase.—
Those who :low neglect the auspicious opportunity,
array regret their improvidence for ever.
Letts have been received fro.m Ghent to: the
date of the 20th instant, from which we lean the
following partictlars:—Lord CASTLEItERGH made a
very short stay at Ghent :'he was net there more than
twenty-four hours, and proceeded from thence oa the
direct road to Brussels. On the 17th instant, a cou-
rier was dispatched to England by the British Com-
missioners, and since that time all intercourse had
been suspended between the respective Plenipotentia-
ries. How long this interruption would be continued
was not known, but it may be considerably protract-
A—as, on the 19th, Mr. DAts.As, Secretary to Mr.
GALATINi set off from Ghent for Amsterdam, to em-
bark from the Texel, on board the John Adams,
which was' to set sail on his arrival. The alleged
purpose of his voyage to America is to obtain further
instructions on the subject of some serious difficulty
that has at isen in the negociation.
Commerce is still very much at a stand in Amster-
dam. innumerable persons are without employment,
or the means of subsistence ; but in Rotterdam a
greater activity prevails, and a greater proportion of
)hipping arrive and depart. The Dutch have some
time since commenced the organization of their colo-
nies. which they expect to be delivered up to them
immediately after the Congress at Vienna. English.
men are very ill at their ease in Dutch Societies,
where the most violent invectives are indulged
again it the English and every thing British. Holland
also swarms with French Pedlars, among whom an
Englishman seldom escapes being insulted if he hap-
pens to be alone, and to meet two or three of that de-
scription of gentry.
Several duels have taken place in Holland, in the
last three months, chiefly among English Gentlenses,
one of whom was shot through the leg, and another
wounded in the body, but not mortally.
The Ist bight Infantry of the King's German Le.,
gion arrived at Deal on Sunday and Monday, in two,
divisions, by the line cf the coast from Sussex, on
their route for Ramsgate, where they are to be era-
barked for the Netherlands.
The 2Sth Reginient, 2d Battalion, has received a
route to proceed from Pendennis to Plymouth.
It appears from returns drawn up from the records
of the Court of Admiralty, and delivered into the
House of Commons, that 121 vessels L.den with
Slaves have been captured at various times, and on
different stations, under the Act fio. tl.e Abolition of
the Slave Trade: Almost all of theta were con-
demned. The maintenance of captured negroes in
the colony of Sierra Leone, for the year 1813, cost
this country £4,039. Of these negroes, 428 had been
enlisted in t!:e Royal African corps.
A curious contest has lately arisen between the
Grand Jury and Dr. TROY, the Catholic Archbishop
of Dublin, relative to the appointment of a Catholic
Chaplain to the gaol of Ntwgate in that City. The
Grand Jury having appointed one, Dr. 'facie super-
seded him on the ground of incompetency, the former
appealed to the Court of King's Bench, and were in-
formed by the CHIEF JOSTICE, that if the person they
had appointed was not to be found at his post, they
must proceed to appoint another, and so on. The
Grand Jury, however, chose to adopt a different course,
and sent an order to the prison, that no other Catholic
Clergyman should be admitted, except him whom Dr.
ROY had suspended. Thus the matter has remain-
for. lease weeks fast.
