Swedish Advances and Danish Retreats Amid War News
Copenhagen reports fresh letters from Norway on December 26 noting Swedish forces advancing across the Idefjord to press Danish troops, Commodore Paulsen ordering two vessels to engage the flotilla and delay the Swedes for a safe Danish retreat. Swedes reportedly encamped near Frederickshall after crossing the river Glommse, while Danes and guards prepared defenses. The narrative mentions plunder in Frederickshall, a Swedish reinforcement to Drontheim forcing Major General Budde to retreat with about 4000 troops under cannon fire, and political intrigue involving the Crown, with various notices on pardons, stock prices, and public notices continuing in the same period.
