Messrs scgAw and Cot•xvo sae, both Ring's Messengers, i;so• arrived vith dispatches from Mr. TunaNtorr at S:ockholtn, and Mr. PIERREICOCT. Letters from Stockholm state, that the departure of Sir .Tosn: Moon! vas not suspected till the evening of the second day after he emitted Stockholm ; and that the King of Sweden was violent in the expression • of his rage when it was communicated to him. Every man, however, even those who are the nearest to his Majesty, completely acquit Sir Jostx Moons of all Marne in the conferences which he had with the King. The propositions that hereadefor theernployment of the British troops, are said to have been not only totally in compatible with the instructions Sir Jou!: MoonE had received, but with all sound discretion. The amount of the force was under l 1,000 men, and yet it was proposed to send that body first-upon one service, ther. upon another, to which tlyeetimes their number would have been unequal, and that without any previous provision being made, or even any infvrrnatlon ob tained. The King of Swab= has set out on his journey to Finland.

Fifty vessels had arrived at Riga, and fourteen had sailed with full cargoes. eccive s" 01* N We Otis day te‘nt:nue extracts firm the rrtnish Journals, which we hare now received to the Rth inst. The def - eat of the French General LEFEVREi near Saragossa, is conffrmed in an official Proclamation of the Junta at Seville (which, with other interesting ex tracts from the Spanish Journals, will be found in another coltarrn), and con!irmed by several private letters which have been communicated to us. The details of this glorious atchievement are unfortunately vanting ; and we aro, for the moment, deprived of the pleasure of :earning by what exertion of skill, or irresistable eCort of gallantry, a division of French • veterans, headed by one of the ablest officers in the 'ervice, has been wholly annihilated ; and, to use the language of the Proclamation, " that not a single man remained to tell the dismal narrative to his coun trymen." The letter;differ respecting the magnitude cil.EvEvits's fe:ce. One of these states, that 1,1,(KK) r:ench fell under the walls of Saragossa, and that the rrrnaining 5000, in endeavourlng to effect their re. !rear, were driven into the Ehto. The defeat of the French army under General Nlnw.:sy is also confirmed. It appears that he had cannonaded and vigorously assailed the city of Va 11,rttia for upwards of seven hours, but the intrepidity :Ind vahrtr of the brave Patriots ultimately pre vailed, i and the enemy, defeated by the well.directed fire of 1 tile garrison, made a precipitate retreat, leaving be hild them Ole!: almerous dead, and greatly embar . rimed by the number of their vvoungled. In the ut most constertatlon and distress, the remains of the •rrmy took ttie route of Abnanza, and the necessary measures were promptly taken by the Patriots to cut nfr their retreat, and effect their entire destruction. Their killed and wounded was immense. Among -he prisoners were General BERTHIVR and his Aid e-Camp, who were conveyed to Valentia. Accounts had also been received from Catalonia, 'onfirrning the intelligence of the defeat of the enemy, near Barcelona, whls the aZdition that Ge::,:ral Sc was e3ther killed or desperately wounded. • It was further announced, that the Catalan pca cants had been joined by those of Bouillon, and that the forts of Figueras and Bellegarde were in the hawk of the PATRIOTS. The same accounts added, that nothing could exceed the indignation and disgust raanifestcd by the People of France at the atrocious conduct of their Go►ernment towards the Spanish Nation. Our advices from Carthagena come down to the 13th of June. This was one of the first towns which i declared against the French. The revolution com menced there on the 23c1 May, when a Junta was ; formed from among theinhabitants most distinguished for their patriotic spirit. The port was opened to the English by Proclamation, on the 10th of June, at which time '20,030 volunteers were enrolled, most of whom were put in possession of arms, and regularly I trained. General CARO, who served against the French in the late war, was appointed Cammander-in-Chief. I Between 8 and 10,000 regulars had joined the patrio tic force, accompanied by -he hest disciplined part of which they marched towards Madrid. According to the latest accounts received at Cadiz, iGeneral Dorosr was still entrenched at Andujar. I T-lis force was not supposed to exceed 7000 men. ' !When he presented himself first before Cordova, it amounted to 10,000 at least. The difference between these two numbers, it is inferred, he must 1-ave lost in the various conflicts with the Patriots. Advices of his surrender were hourly expected. It was reported, that he bad oTered to capitulate on condition that he was allowed to set -I a number of covered waggons loaded nut of Spain to France ; a proposal which was peremptorily rejected. He was induced to pro pose these new terms, it was said, in consequence of 5000 . French tro-ps, detached from Madrid to his aid, having been compelled to return to that city, after having sustained considerable loss, and lo::ing 1241 waggons, loaded with carious stores and provi sions, in the attempt to extricate him. Dispatches were this morning reteived at the Ad miralty, from our Squadron cruizing off the Northern Coast of Spain, dated the 15th instant, which con• , tain the gratifying intelligence of the recapture of St. Andero. It appears etat General PONT% who com mands a division of the Patriotic Army, having formed the plan of retaking that place, advanced towards it with between three and four thousand men, and concerted a plan of attack with some of our ships of war that were cruizing off thi coast. The French in St. Ando°, about 1600 men, did not, however, think it prudent to wait for art attach, for, about two o'clock in the morning of the 12th in stant, they evacuated the town, having first levied a h , •avy contribution on the inhabitants, and destroyed a'.l the arms in the place. The part of the Asturian force under Gen. PONTE and the Bishop of ST. ANDERO, amounts to about !RIM men, but the whole Asturian army amounts to above 40,000 men and it was generally expected that an action would take place between it and Mar shal Brsster es army, which amounts to about 16,0r,0 Men, near Bilboa, of the result of which very little doubt was entertained. General CUESTA had advanced to Villepande, and had taken possession of the bridge of Mayorca an I on the Seco ; his intention was to make an attack upon Valladolid, in which t'tere was a small French force, for the purpose of cutting off all communication between Burgos, at which there was a French corps of 18,000 men, and Madrid. MURAT still remains entrenched at Reteiro, with about 5,000 men. JOSEPH BONAPARTE has at length ventured into his new dominions ; he entered Biscay the beginning of this month, with about four thousand men ; he was at Bilboa on the 9th, at Toloso e t th e 10th, .and when the last accounts came away he was At Vittoria. He was apparently afraid to proceed farther, from the cool and contemptuous reception he every where met with.

The army of the Baltic is expedited with unexampled spi rit for the same quarter, under the eye of their late leader, who still commands, and under him every thing goes on like lightning. Sir JOHN, MOORE is really adored by the fine army which he has brought home ; he is looked up to, not only by the soldiers, but likewise by the sailors of the fleet : he has every • where infused anunusual confidence as a leader. Sir JonN was yesterday to have resigned the command of his army to Lieutenantileneral Sir HARRY Buna.inn, of the Guards.

Monday, the ‘2d or Queen's, and 20th Regiments, marched from Ipswich to Landguard Fort, for em barkation. Two men of the 2d, from the excessive heat of the weather, dropped down and expired im mediately. Several of the soldiers not being able to keep up with the Regiments, did not arrive at Har wich till it was too late to go on board the trans ports, and were obliged to remain on the 'beach the whole night, where one of them died. The two, who fell down dead on the road, were buried at Langnard Fort, by a detachment of the Norfolk, on ditty there. The above melancholy occurrences strongly evince the propriety of marching our brave defenders dur ing the night, in hot weather, ins'ead of exposing them to the heat of a vertical sun, in the day-tune.
