The only accounts that - ' have ben received in England of the efcape of the Swedifti came from Denmark;, and -they are by no means fpecific. The fleet certainly avoided the Ruffians; but it is not known what was the fate ; of . the of the two flotillas had the misfw tun to fall in with the enemy ; whether it was that off Wybourg,: Confiding of 130 gallics and cannonicres, com manded by the King in perfon ; or that near Fredericlcfham, amounting to about 50 or 6 commtnded by the Baron de Cronftadt If it was the firft the lofs will be great indeed, and perhaps even the King Jiimfclf may be a pi i ibner. The Swedifh Minifter has no account, itnt "theDanilrr Mirttflcf"kmwsnwhAt-w- have communicated to the. public. The efcape of the Swedifh fleet, however, is truly miraculous ; oppofite to the Swedifli' fleet in the bay of'- Wybourg, there were two fand banks, ore of which extends toward s Cronftadt ; and the other towards the mouth of ' the Gulph of Finland: Between this and the main land there was room only for one Jhip at a time. , Four large Rnflian ; men of war were ftationtd at the weft end of this bink, ito prevent the retreat of the Swedes through that narrow pa;Tage, while the reft of the Ruf- " flan fleet were oppofed to that of Sweden at the entrance of the bay of Wyboufg. In this fi-, tuation, it is faid, the Swed i (h fleet remained, from the 4th. of, June to the jd of July, when . the wind fhifting in favour of the Swedes, .they fent three large Chips in advance towards the Ruffian flcrt, as if intending to force their way in the face of the main fleet, but having foon after fet thofe three (hips in flames they, retreated with the reft of the fleet through the narrow paflage, in fpite of thf four; Ruffian men "of. war that were ftationed to prevent them; and by that means deceived the Ruffian ' Admiral, who"could only come up with a Jew which is ths caftle, and obfervetl their oiders, not, to fire until they came within reach of the enemy, who were ported oil another height pa rallel with our's. The enen.y had a piece of cannon, with which ihey; played vpon usi for two hours, with no other effiecT: than killing one man of the regiment of Vfeft-Flankers". Our troops plied them vigoioufly, and killing feveral of tlu r men compelled them to retreat. We carried off thepoils of their dead, amongft whom was "VViirmfur vhttlT -and returned with them, over the M.eufe again in triumph, on the points of the bayonets.
