a Knight of the Order of St. Anne, of the first Class, the insignia of

cording to the Statutes."

garrison goes to day to encamp at Krasnojeselo.
STOCKHOLM, Just

OUT city has been in great danger from the fire in the woods,
especially from the fire at Erstaulo, half a mile distant. The King
repaired to the spot in person, sent troops, had the peasants assem_
bled, and by judicious measures averted the danger ; but all at once
the wind vered to the south, and caused the fire to spread with such
violence that it extended over a lake, 3000 feet broad, to the island
of Sikhs. Happily, it stopped here; only a small house was burnt
the first day. The part which the fire has passed over, in the
forests and in the mountains. may be about ten English miles in
extent. _
