...Björneborg (Pori), ...
Swedish efforts to harass the Russians with landings continue, with roughly one thousand volunteers under Captain Anders Gyllenbögel landing on August 1 to support Swedish-led uprisings on the coast south of Vasa.
The landing succeeds, and together with Swedish troops advancing from the north manage to drive the Russians towards Björneborg.
Swedish patrol ships (consisting of armed merchant vessels) scout and raid the coast, taking Russians prisoner to Åland.
These raids cause much confusion, and Russian responses to them thin their strength along the coast.
