Sunday last * , came Mr. 4 ? PURLEY, and alp a Russian Officer, with dispatches fat ;Ise Russian Ambassador. These Gentlemen reached Londott last night, when the latter immediately set off for Brigh ton, tp deliver his dispatches tp Count Litman, the Russian Ambassador, who is 3t present there. The plena Packet, having Mr. SrtvasTatt on board, also left Gottenburgh on Sunday, and, it appears, reached Harwich last night ; for this morning, at nine o'clock, that Messenger arrived with the GoVern ment dispatches, At the hour at which we are writing nothing has transpired respecting the contents of the official dis patches, and therefore, for the present, we shall con 4ne ourselves to the principal articles brought b 7 the Mails. We mentioned yesterday, that a considerable body of the French had broken up from Hambuigh. This event took place on the rth, the day on which the Armistice was to expire of itself if not renewed ; and it now appears by the Hamburgh (i.e. by the French accounts) that this movement was for the purpose of attacking the Russian and Prussian lines, which they did at Lanenbtirgh, on the following day, driving the defenders across the Steicknitz. This event is of importance, chiefly as an indication of the cessation of the Armistice ; being the first act of renewed ho. stilities. The Mails also bring a Bulletin respecting the po sitions of the Allied Army, under the Crtows Prttricc, on the 13th inat. The Swedes are in the centre ; the Russians and Prussians on the left and right re spectively. The CROWN PRINCE was received with much affection, and he seems to be earnest in the cause in which he has embarked. The most important news brought by these Valls is what respects Austria. That Power, it is said. deciFed war against France on the 10th inst. and is to bring 150,000 men into the field. Should this prove corrcct—and from the only accounts that have yet transpired it seems probable—how much are the nations of Europe indebted to the persevering spirit of England, and the valour of her armies in the Pe ninsula !—But for these victories would Austria have quitted her timid and prudential system We cannot believe she would ; but it seems proved that she thi4'is herself now bound to do something else than Merely to recommend a pacification. Availing her. self of the opportunity afforded by our successes in the South, she now sees the propriety of pressing upon the Tyrant in the North, to divide his attention and his means, apd pempel him to relinquish some of his robberies. If thifi he the policy that has led to the renewal of hostilities, it is a wise policy i and, we repeat it, for this firmness and decision Europe is indebted to the fruits of our struggle for her deliverance. As the Official Accounts have not yet transpired. any further observations would be premature. In the mean time we lay before our itenders tl a 4ccoputs brotight by the Mails is fillittal, JULY *ft cc ConFerning the prolpngation of the Armistice, which, under the mediation of Austria, was son chided between the belligerent Powers, and which hai already been noticed in the Berlin Gazette of the 17th instant, according whereto hostilities may not be recommenced before the 16th August, the Cent missaries appointed on behalf of the several Powers, have on the 2th instant at length signed a formal agreement." PRENLAW, JULY 12. 84 9n the 6th, at ten o'clock in the eveling, his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Slireden arrived here for the first time. The &ergyman, Mr. Pascal, -was requested by the Magistrates and Clergy to in troduce them to his Royal Highness. Mr. Pascal Welcomed the Crown Prince in a speech in the rrench language, which was several 'times interrupted by his Royal Highness. On mentioning the first appearance of the Crown Prince in Prenzlau seven years ago, his Royal High ness exclaimed, • An unhappy time for your town ; happily it is past, and may it never return !' Oa expressing the flattering hopes they entertained, the Prince said, The sole motive that inspires me will always be to contribute with what small means I possess to the preservation of your country's indepen dence;' and at the conclusion, he observed, I have as yet dope nothing to attract your attention to me, but I will endeavour to deserve it Iv my zeal for thp welfare of ycur country.' 4' On the following day, tb 7th, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, his Royal Highness proceeded pn his journey to Trackenberg." " ROSTOCK, JULY 4 , The newly raised divisi , on of Dufour, consisti ng of 11 cr 12,000 men, is now removed from Ham burgh to the old mark of Brandenburgh. " In Denmark another new financial oreration is expected to take place, the course of exchange having risen ;o such an excessive height that it is at about 5000 per cent." " STRALSUND, AUGUST 4. 44 His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived • safe at Robel on the 2d instant, in the evening ; from thence his Royal Highness set out for GrOlow, where he slept ; proceeds td-day to Wismar, anti intends to wive Isere to-morrow evening." ' 44 GOTTENBURGH, AUGUST 39. Prirate letters from Prussia state' s that hostilities wotsl4 commence on the 16tb s or as Soon as the ar• . , • min co* be brought to their &fere* positions, which would require tuo or three days, The army under the Prince Royal of Swede*, 100,000 strpng, is matching towafds the Elbe. Auousi 16—Lord Aberdeen arrived onSaturday. 44 Amon 20.—The Crowq Prince of Sweden wfft, during the armistice, fired at from Stettin, while re viewing some troops in that neighbourhood, and the shot fell within thirty yards of him. The Cossacks' would have cut off a great number of troops who were at work outside the walls, but the Crown Prince would not allow it t and a satisfactory explanation is said to have taken place. " Am= 21.—Accordin; to accounts war h4s re commenced. A traveller, just arrived, says, that on the 17th, the bombardment of Ste!tiq again cpm menced. • 1 4 Auqusr 22.—A Messenger has just arrived from Reichenbach, With the news that Austria declared war against France on the 10th instant. On the 19th, in the morning, the whole of the army was put in motion. Head-quarters were removed to Prague, to which place the Emperor of Russia King of Prussia, 'and Lord Cathcart were gone. We are assured, that official intelligence of this event has been received. • General Moreau sailed fromYstadt on the 4th inst. and by accounts received, had a fas ourable wind to Stralsund,. where he would be met by the Crown Prince of Sweden, the latter having purposely left Berlin to receii , e his old friend. No doubt something grand will soon be done by those two great mili tary men." BULLETINS OF THE CROWN PRIUCE. " Head Quarters at Oraniepburg, Aug. ;3. " BULLETINS. is His Royal Highness the Crown _Prince arriyed here yesterday, and has fixed his bead-quarters at this place. • " The uuitect army of Northern Germany, of which his Royal Highness has the command, occupies the following positions; 44 A pact of the 4th Prussian corps d'armee, which forms the reserve, under the command of Lieutenant General Count Tauenzien, has its headquarters at Muncheberg, and stretches its right wing towards Berlin. The 4th Prussian corps d'armee, under Lieu tenant-General Vpn Bulow, has its head-quarters at Berlin, and, in conjunction with Count Tauenzien's corps, forms the left wing of the Allied Army. The Swedish army, commanded by Field Mar shal Count Von Stedingk, is assembling in the vicinity of Oranienburg, with its head near Spandau. The headquarters are here. The first Swedish division is under the command of Lieutenant-General Skiol debrand, and the second under that of Major-General Baron Posse. This last division, together with a se parate brigade detached from the third division, I,rms a corps, commanded by Lieutenant-General Baron Sandils. The whole Swedish force is in the centre pt the allied army. The right wing consists of Rus sian troops, under the orders of Lieutenant-General Baron Winzingerode, whqse head-quarters are at Brandenburg. Lieutenant-General Count Worms ; iw's corps belongs to this wing, with its head-quar ters atPlaue. 41 A Prussian corps, under Major-Genera' ffersch feNt, is in front of Magdeburg. It is connected by its lets wing with the Rus s ian army, and by its right with the corps of observation on the Lower Elbe, under Lieutenant-Ceneral Count Wallmoden. Its headquarters are at Schwerin, and its advanced posts reach Irons Leuzin to Passau, and the middle towards Lubeek. Lieutenant-General Baron Von Vegesack beiongs to this corps d'armee ; he has under his comm And 3000 Swedilh troops, 30(10 Prussians, and 3000 Mecklenburghers. Separate corps, belonging to count Tauenaien's army, blockade Custrin and Stettin. 14 Major-Qrneral Gibbs has I.inde4 at Stralsgml, with a corps of 3000 English troops.

" The army is so disposed, that within a march and a half, Pwafdi of eighty thousand men can to in the line. " Whilst his Royal Highness, on the I lth inst., in the forenoon, was reviewing the troops which are blockading Stettin, and causing them to minceuvre, and at the same time to threaten the fortress works, a howitzer was pointed at his Royal Highness ; the grenade fell thirty paces behind him, and burst. Hi 6 Royal Highness, who discovered some French sol diers creeping forwards before the outer works, and whom the Cossacks, after the shot having taken place from the fortress, were on the point of attacking, caused the French Commandant to be called to him, and who accordingly appeared before his Royal High ness, accompanied by a Commissary at War. The Crown Prince mildly stated to him, that the Com manding Officer in Fort Prussia had broken the truce, and fired on his Royal Highness's escort, and added, I might make you all prisoners of war, were I tt, command the cavalry to attack you, and you could not defend yourselves, being without arms. 'llw officer made excuses, RIO expressed his sorrow for the 'accident. After his Royal Highness having con versed wit:► him for a 'snort time, he retired. Th.: French soldiers expressed their hearty wishes for the , , . k restoration ci pege p and to see an end put to theca. lamites of war. " To judge from the preparat;ons of the Allies at Stettin, it io to be expected that the fortress will be stormed on the conclusion of the armistice. By the zeal and industry of those officers who have the ch4r4o of supplying the army with provisions, it has not as yet suffered and► deficiency.
