UMEA, Sept 25.-The blockading squadron
are beginning to have hard work, and find it
difficult to maintain their statious in the teeth
of the severe gales that come down from the
mountains in the North and sweep the Gulf of
Bothnia with great violence. The ships often
look in here to supply themselves with fresh
provisions and hear the news. Six vessels are
now cruising along the coast Of Finland, be-
tween Bjorneborg and Christinenstad.
On the 18th instant the Dragon made n lucky
hit, for, appearing unexpected off Haddgerne,
opposite the Islands Ruaken, she fell in with
and captured hotilla of Russia merchantmen,
consisting of seventeen vessels of different rigs
and sizes, one Of which contained 1000 tons of
rye, part Of which was distributed among the
other ships, and the rest thrown overheard.
