Stockholm May 15.
Yesterday the College of War issued out an Order pursuant to one from the King of Sweden and Senate, that all the Officers should repair to their respective Posts.
These which the two Regiments have received, are drawn in general Terms, viz. that they should rendezvous at Carlscrona by the latter End of next Month, to be ready to embark there towards the 20th of July, without specifying the Port they are to land at; they are to find their Tents at Carlscrona, which are actually making there.
The French Squadron, as it's said, is expected at Carlshamn, six Swedish Miles from Carlscrona, before the Term fixed for those Regiments to embark.
