No letters from St. Peter(burgh have been brought by the two hit Gnttenburgh Maili. We have, how ever, been favoured with the pert.fal of f,:me com munications from that city, and they arc of great importance indeed. The lateft accounts from it are of the zd and sth Augutt, O.S. correfponding to the t+th and i7th They (late that artillery was fending to the army, and that the return of the Imperial Guard to St. Pe ter (burgh was cnuntermanded. That batteries for red-hot fbot were preparing at Revel and Crnnttadt. They mention bellies, that the peace bad b=een publifheci in gereral terms, and that Boa APART4 had been therein Ilyled EMPEKOR OF THE FR kNCH ; but that nothing of the conditions were known. Lord flurzt ts SON, it feems, was daily expdled in that capital, but whether in a diplomatic or pri vate charaler was not known. Sir lloasav Witt.sos had already al-lived there. It is all, menti o,ecl, that the determination (hewn by the Britith Guvernment to a& with vigour, had produced an extraordinary effat in the Ruffian C which were more likely to be occupied in d nfive arrangements than preparations for holli lity It is Rated in a letter from Stockholm of the syth of Anglia, that the Ruffian Ambaffaclor had deli vered a note to the Swedifh Government, in which it was declared, that if Alliance were rendered to the Britith fleet, or any part of it admitted into the ports of Sweden, it would be confidered as a declaration of war. If this intelligence be well founded, the projeft of a naval confederacy has advanced to more maturity than we fuppofed, and fully _Willies the meafures which our Government is underttood to have diteded, as well in the South as North of Eu , rope.

" The fate of Copenhagen is not yet decided'; a great bunle fill prevails in landing mortars, cannon, &c. with a view to make the grand attack. The bombardments which have hitherto taken place, are not to be confideted as regular attacks, but are merely for the pu•pofe of trying the effect of the (hells at various diaances. We learn that a general attack will be made in the courfe of this week."

" Head quarters, Ploggenfteks, Auguft u. 4, The Senate and Burghers of Stralfund having humbly addralred his Majefty, that he would be pleafed to avert the clangers of a bombardment'from his faithful city, the King propofed to the French Commanding General, that Stralfund fhould be de- dared a neutral place, and its neutrality refpeded on bath fides, as lung as the Swedifh army fhould remain ; in poffefficn of Rugen, and Swedifh Pomerania be , occupied by the French troops; but this propofal was r rejefled byte enemy. 44 In this fituation of affairs, and as the longer defence of the fartrefs of Stralfund was without any ulterior military objeti, fince the fafety of the realm did not permit any more troops to be fent away from ' Sweden, and it was of the utmoft importance to fuel- i ter the ptinclpality of Rugen from any hoftile attack, , the King ordered his Adjutant, General Baron Ve gefack, commander in chief at Stralfund, to a& the Senate and Citizens of that City, whether they v ere determined to expufe themfelves to the dangers of a ' liege, in which cafe they fhould have all the Aft ance and prote6tion which they had the right to ex pelt from the gallantry of his Majefly's troops ; or whether they felt difpofcd, agreeably to the applica tion which they had made already, to treat with the enemy, in order to avert the calamities of a liege? The Senate and Citizens humbly returned thanks to his Majefty for his molt gracious declaration, and adopted the latter part, in confecience of which the forttefs of Stralfund was this day entirely committed to their charge. " Arrangements werc then made to withdraw the troops from Stralfund, and remove all the maga gines as well as military flores to Rugen. 46 The whole night between the 18111 and 19th, and the 19th and l oth, the garrifon was under arms, in order that fhould the withdrawing of the troops Come to the enemy's knowledge, he might not be able to make a fucceilul attack on the fortrefs.

Major Yhlen faw General Reale. who agreed with him that at fix o'clock in the evening General Brune fhould meet Adjutant General Peyrois at Anderthoft. At that time it was perceived from Altefehr, that the Depts. ties of the Senate, who were to treat about the capi tulation, were proceecfng to the French advanced polls. Adjutant General Colonel Peyron followed. by his Majefty's command, in order to declare that, as the fortrefs was riaw entirely left to the care of the Senate and citizens, without any further interfe rence on the part of the military, he merely appeared on the part of his Royal Matter, to fee that jolt and reabouble terms were granted. 4 , About half pall fix o'clock in the.morning, ar rived Adjutant General Barnn Vegefack, with - his Staff, when all the troops were embarked.

Two divilions of gun boats are Rationed within cannon (hot from the bridge of the harbour, and Danholua is Rill occupied by Swedifh troops.
