EXTRACT OP A LETTER FROM LIELSIRGIURGO, or

JUNE 5.

" I am sorry to be ender the necessity of in-
forming yoa, that Seta has been killed at Stud.
sund, by a party of French, Danes, and Dutch,
amounting to 11,000 men ; his army was corn.
'pletely annihilated ; the streets of Stralsund seem
Covered with dead bodies."
YSTAD, JUNE s.—Admiral Fir James SlLllMarez
left this place two days ago for Carlscrona. To-
day the convoy fur the Baltic passed for the Belt.
It is reported, with some degree of confidence,
that the army of Schill is totally destroyed, and
•himself killed ; that a large force, consisting of
French, Dutch, and Danish troops lent entered
Strulsond, and covered the streets %%ills blood.
From the qnarter this information has reached me
fear it is too true.
We have seen the Copenhagen Papers, in uhich
Bnnaparte's Bulletins arc inserted, where:is he ac-
knowledges the loss of 10,000 of bia best troops,
but that it was only occasioned by the
aukwant-
ness of the German auxiliary troops ; and he de_
cares that in fourteen days he will return with
a force to avenge the degradation he has met with:
Be has, however, abandonnd Vienna, and re-
treated along the banks of the Dissub.., a. far as
Lintz, which place he completely destroyed by
fire before he left it, lest it night allOril arty pro.
tection for Isis pursuers.

Corn:sou:ton, Jove o.—Wc hare learned

gant feast at the Freemason's Hall, where eighty

Litb. May the friendship which now subsists between
Swede* and Great-Brit:tin never be broken.

[At this toast, the unfeigned sensibility of the
Swedish Gentlemen was se sudden, as to cause
therii to throw their empty glasses over their heads
with joy, and a burst or huisavand-clappilg of
hands commenced from their end of the table,
which continued fur several minutes ; this scene
was one of the most gratifying ever witnessed by
Englishmen in a foreign country.]
