STOCKHCILM, Ado. 21.—Since the departure of our Amba . ssador for Petersburgh;the military operations seem to be perfectly at a stand. We have not re-, ceived the least intelligence either from our artnyide navy, nor has any account reached us of the Russians having made or attempted any farther progress in their intended invasion of our country. Letters from lcullboda, near GeAe, advise, that on the 7th of this month a fleet, coroposed of five gal leys, 36 gun-boats, four bomb-vessels, and about 100 transports, arrive I tint:, having 8000 land troops cm board, which are destined to reinforce our army in West Bothnia.—Stockholm.

Sovereign, at Deutsch Wagram. BRESLAU, AUGUST. 9. The Russian and Polish armies in GaMelo are dis tributed as follows;—The Russians occupy that part of Gallicia •Whieh extends. from the environs of •San domir to the frontiers of the Buckowine. The Po lish corps, under the command of Generalliebdow ski, occupies the environs of San to liarezevi; five miles from Wanau, and as far as Pilica. That un der the orders of General Raminieicki is posted from the environs of &ultra to the Bug. The head quar ters of Prince Poniatpwski are at Cracow; a corps -of 6000 Russians occupies Bochnia, where are the fam ous salt mines of Gallicia. . NAPLES, AUGUST IS. An extraordinary circumstance gave much eclat; to the fete celebrated for .the birth-day of the Empe-: ror. On 'the 15th, in ,the evening, the Neapolitan fleet, consisting of a frigate, a corvette, and about 80 gun-hoits, were moored before the city. This dis position had been made for the salutes which it is customary to fire on this occasion. Yesterday, four English frigates, and about 20 gun-boats which are cruizing in these seas, approached to make an attack at the very moment when his Majesty mounted his horse to review 15 or 20,000 men, assembled on the beach of Chiaja. The King, after having ordered the necessary dispositions for defence, proceeded . to pass the troops in review. We then enjoyed one of the finest spectacles, but which can be pf operly con ceived by those who are well acquainted with the situation of the city of Naples. At the setting of the sun, 20,000 men, drawn up on the shore of Chiaja, were quietly performing their evolutions, while two or three hundred pieces of artillery thundered over the Bay of Naples. An immense multitude of spec tators assesolged on the sea-shore to witness the fete, and formed one of t' , e most imposing scenes which can be imagined. The pleasure of this spectacle was the greater, as it was nnci, nrbed by any foar. The English, not daring to appro. 1 / the forts, fired at a very respectful distance, and it was so little lit.zely that they could do any damage, that they seemed to be the ships of some friendly nation come tc, rr , t 4 fr by their salutes thoir participation in the general joy. They retired in the night, Two men only on board a gun-boat were slightly wounded.
