GOTTENBURGH M4IL. STOCKHOLM, JULY 14. Major Hierta arrived here late last night, as Con rier from his Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with information that a meeting was to take place between bis Majesty the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia. In consequence thereof, his Royal High mess had on the 6th instant, departed in his carriage by the way of Printslau, Schwidt Zollen, Mizenti, Coster, Schmugit and Rawitz, to Trakenburg, where he was to arrive in the evening of the 9th. The whole of this road lies on the other side of the neutral ground designated by the armies here, and conse. quently through a country which is defended by the Prussian and Russian troops. The Chief Director of the Royal posts has here with to inform the public, that the post - routes to Dennrirk and Norway are stopped, and that no let ters addressed to places in either of those kingdoms will be received at the Post-Office. GOTTENBURGH, JULY 21. The Crown Prince is to have a meeting with the following personages :—Emperor of Russia, King of Prussia, Lord Cathcart, and Mr. Thornton. FR.E VCH PeIPERS.. URINE, JULY 12.

In the afternoon the Prince mounted on horseback, and went to the Champ de Mars, where be reviewed all the troops, infantry, cavalry, and ar tillery, belonging to the Royal Guard. Their High nesses set out at.nine o'clock for Monza. CUXHAVEN, MIN 8. A frigate, four brigs, and nine English gun-boats attacked us this evening at half past six o'clock.— This liesli attempt of the enemy turned to !.is shame. He appeared to wish to interrupt our works, and un doubtedly be to destroy them. Favoured by a good wind, the English flotilla approached within pistol shot of us, and, during t'aree successive hours, sent a shower of bullets, balls, and grape-shut among us, but all this violent fire only wounded a single man. The damage caused to one of our batteries, can easily be repaired in two days. We were covered by banks, and sent death into the enemy's ships, whilst that all their fire passed over our heads. All requisite measures had been takea to vigorously re ceive the enemy, had he attempted a disembarkation, ,but he retired, after having been ex:rernely roughly handled, and viithout having landed a sill& luau. PRAGUE, -JULY 14. The great Prory, Prague, is intended to serve as a residence for' the Duke of Vicenza, Plenipotentiary from France ; the Counsellor of State, Baron de Heir denberg, will inhabit the Horel of Wendeschgratz ; and M. de Hutnbolt tf:at of Finsteberg ; the Austrian Ministers wi.l reside at Schoenbron Hotel.

The Emperor of Austria came he • yesterday from Brand's,, whence be returned th evening, after having granted some audiences. MAGDEBURG, JULY 12. To-day we had the happiness of possessing the Emperor withh: our walls ; this monarch arrived at eight o'c!ock in the morning. Notwithstanding the fatigues .of the jouriiey, his Majesty immediately mounted On horseback, and, accompanied by a nu merous suite of General and superior Oaken, the fertifications of the town and citadel. About eleven o'clock hip Majesty returned to town, and alighted at the ci-devant deanery, which bad been preparvd lor his reception. His Majesty, at three in the .1 lernoon, deigned to receive the compliments of all the French and Westphalian military men. Towards the evening his Majesty, accompanied by some Generals, and a weak escort of lancers, rode through the town, visited the arsenal, magazines, and different other establishments: in the'evening all ye town was illuminated. The tollu%%ing has been published here : u The town of Magdeburgh being in a state of siege, no inhabitant of it mu it keep fire-arms, powder, or lead.

This ion / • rcture we can neither affirm nor deity, but reasoning from analogy in the appointment of b rd CATHCART and Gener • Srua.ar (military men) to the Courts of . , St. Petersburgh and Berlin, we are rather dispeeetli to believe what we * understood at General Hon's de parture, that he has retarne4 to Stralsund (although his arrival was not known`-'at Gottenburgh on the 24th) as our Minister, jointly with Mr. Taohiroxr, to the Court of Stockholm. His former mission was certainly of a special nature, and this :nay be the sable ; but let it not be forgotten, that the expedition from Harwich for Stralsund had been abandoned by Ministers, and was only revived upon the arrival of General HOPE from the Baltic. With respect to the policy of a British Minister being sent to Prague, we are clearly of opinion that Russia, Prussia, and Sweden, can better negociate alone, than if clogged with discussion relative to the maritime rights claimed by Great Britain. Integrity and independence of territory were doubtless the mo tives of our Continental Allies to war, and upon the dm attainment of these objects their motives must naturally cease. Let not, !iowever, Russia, Prussia, or Sweden, trust to the hollow document of a signed treaty. For the safety and tranquillity of Europe, the Confederation of the Rhine must be broken asunder. Italy, Naples, Holland, and the Hanse Towns, should be restored to their independence.— Without these proofs of sincerity, away with the flimsy guarantees of treaties and 4 , good faith."—lf our Northern Allies shall obtain these terms, Great Britain can readily negociate for herself and her allies in the Peninsula ; for, while Spain and Portugal remain true to themselves, with them Great Britain will stand or fall !

Dispatches were this afternoon received from Field- Marshal the Marquis of WELLINGTON, dated on the 19th inst. They were brought by Mr. DANIELS, the Messenger ; a Cabinet Council was immediately sum moned to take them into consideration, and the fol lowing Official Bulletin was issued : OFFICIAL BULLIA IN. " WAR DEPARTMENT, JULY 31. " Dispatches have been received from the Marquis of WELLINGTON, dated Lezaca, 19th July. " A battery of four guns opened on the 14th against a fortified Convent, which was strongly occu pied by the enemy in front of St. Sebastian's ; and on the morning of the 17th, this post, and another strong work which adjoined it, were carried by assault. Two columns, commanded by Major-Generals OSWALD and Hay, were employed on this service.— They were composed chiefly of Portuguese troops, supported by the 9th regiment. • 6 , General Mrxis having been joined near Zaragoza by General DORAN, they attacked General PARIS on the Bth of July. In the night of the 9th the enemy retreated towards Jaca, leaving a garrison in a re doubt which General DURAN was ordered to attack, while MINA and Don JULIAN pursued the enemy's column. They had taken many prisoners and much baggage ; and on the 11th they captured a convoy. Lord WELLINGTON extols very highly the acti vity and gallantry displayed in these operations. " SCCIILT evacuated Valencia on the sth of July. The garrison of Segorba was withdrawn, and the French General SEVEROLI had blown up the Fort of Alcaniz, and had marched upon Mequinenza." Dispatches have also been received from Lord W. BzsTlNcx, dated Valencia, 13th July : The Allied Armies were collected in that neigh bourhood, and were about to move towards the Ebro. The enemy had left Garrisons in Murviedro and Ptniscold." Lady BATHORST, who has been confined by a ous fever, was reported yesterday by her Physician, Dr. tANICHEAD, to be out of danger. Yesterday Earl CHOLMONDELY gave a grand Minis terial dinner at Cholmondeley House, Piccadilly. The Great Bell, in the Southern Tcwer of St. Paul's, tolled late on Wednesday night, for upwards of an hour, in consequence of the death of the worthy Diocesan. its deer tones were more solemnly im pressive from the silence and stillness of the hour. This ceremony never takes place but on the death of one of the Royal Family, or of a Bishop of London. The following Form of Prayer is to be read to morrow in all the Churches and Chapels throughout the United Kingdom, for the victory gained over the French at Vittoria : " 0, LORD Goa of Howl's ! who chiefly deciarest thy almigh ty power by protecting the oppressed, and smiting to the ground the proud Oppressor, and who, in the defence of injured Nations, teachest tby servants to war, and girdest them pith strength for battle, we yield Thee praise and thanksgiving, for the continued successes in Spain with which Thou bast been pleased to crown t he conduct of our General and the valour of our soldiers, but more especially for the signal and decisive victory which under the same Commander Thou bast recently vouchsafed to the allied armies, in the bat:le of Vittoria. Continue, we pray Thee, thy blessing upon 'Le counsels of our General ; maintain and support the cou rage and .; rength of the allied armies; suctify the cause in which they are united ; and as it bath pleased Thee to pat back, with corfusion of face, the proud invader of Spain and Portugal, let the allied armies and allied kingdoms prostrate themselves with ope consent bcfrre Thee, and acknowledge with humility of bean the victory to be thine. These prayers and thanksgivings we humbly otkr to thy Thvissz MAJESTY, In the name and through the mediation of (MILORD and SAVLOrR ITIOS CURIsT. Anna: THE ARMY. We have great and sincere satisfaction In assuring our Readers, that the heal&Ji of that gallant and skil ful Officer, Lieutenant-General Sir Jams Lary, is completely renovated. When our last letters left Lisbon, his Majesty's ship Funs was waiting to convey him to Santander, with the Treater% which had been some time ago sent out in the NYMPIIEN to Lisbon, from the impossibility of reasonably antici pating the late rapid advance of our army. An Officer of Rarikwith Lord WELLINGTON, writes as follows, under date of the ISth instant : 84 Never was the discomfiture of an armrso com plete as that of the French, on the 21st Juue. After Flctou's Division broke their centre, they were no longer an army : they deserted the whole of their guns, tumbrils, and ammunition, many threw away their arms, and Ice could see the whole line scam pering before us : had it been posibkt for our cavalry to have acted at this moment, I verily believe that the whole, Generals, Officers, and men, would have laid down their arms ; as it was, the brave 15th Dra goons, Eutorr's Hone of old, made terrible havock amongst them, but they were not supported. The French seeing that only a single regiment pursued, then rallied, turned back on us, and retook a consi derable numikr of Officers. The brave Hero of Barossa was impeded by unexpected obstacles on the road, and came up later than was expected ; but he gave animation to the whole, when he led up the left wing of the army. 66 The plunder and booty which has fallen into our hands is immense, not less than 400 carriages.— Among them all the Royal carriages loaded with cloths, plate, pictures, money, and jewels. Some of the soldiers carried away large sums from the car riages. Those of the Generals are magnificent.— Lung-acre never made such a shew as the road to Bayonbe did on the evening of the 21st June. The whole army sees how much better the Ftench Officers live than tix British—not only all their Generals, but inferior othcers, have carriages and services of plate. With us, Lord WELLINGTON is the only man who has a carriage ; and he, the Marshal, and his Commis saries, me only people who have services of plate.— Among other things, an immense quantity of fine musical instruments have been taken ; the ground tor miles was strewed with them, and it would ap pear that all the bands in the French army had thrown away their instruments. " There was au immense magazine of cloathing for the French army found at Vittoria : it was suffi cient not only to clothe the Spani,h troops, Out the followers and women, who now make a most gro tesque figure in the variety of French uniforms. The Marquis has seat the Ccuntess of GAtAti, and several other Ladies of the French Generals, to them, accompanied by his Lordship's Aids-du-Camp. " The noble behaviour of the Portuguese troops, particularly their I Ith and 23d regimeots, is praised throughout the Army ; as is also the conduct of General Kunrr, in the Light Division, and General BRISBANE / in the division of PICTON, which broke the centre of the French army. " General Mot ntaos's Spanish army, who be haved so well on the 21st, are attached to the right wing of the Army, and are under the command of Sir ROWLAND Hut. The army of Oallicia, new commanded by General HERON, a young and enter- prising Officer, is attached to the lett wing of the Army, and is under the supreme command of the Hero of Barossa, The corps of Don Cmums, Don JULIANOf LONDA, MIN.App &c. are generally attached to the centre of the Army, under the command of the gallant Sir T. PicTon ; but are occasionally sent on other services, as the Marshal General sees necessary. " On the whole, ynu will be glad to bear in Oid England, that the Spanish nation have been brought to do a We more in their own gum Man Mey have hitherto dart. In the Signior Groat Garde, as they call the Marquis, they have the greatest confidence, and three fourths of the nation would gladly hail him as their King; they want a Chief. to lead and protect 'herd; and they say, there are only two people in the world fit for the office, viz. NAPOL,ON and the GRANDE LORDE." The Dumfries Militia is now doing duty at Dub lin, until the arrival of the third Lancashire Regi. ment, from Bristol, which may be soon expected, being now on their march to the place of embarka tion. The Dumfries Regiment is to be conveyed direct from Dublin to Ayr. The following regiments of Militia are the last that have arrived at Cork from England, viz. the City of Dublin, the Clare, and the Westmeath. The 2d Surrey Regiment of Militia are arrived at Woodbridge Barracks. Major-General HADDEN and Stag arrived at Chat pam on Friday, to assume the command pt the troops in that garrison. A Court-Martial is assembling at Maidstone, on Major BENSON of the 3d West York Militia, on charges brotlght against him by the Colotla of the regiment. Wednesday,john Townsend, landlord of the head inn (the George) at Huddersfield, was fired in the penalty of three pounds and costs, for refusing a billet to an Officer of the West Essex Militi4. The re sepctable Magistrate, before whom be was convicted, highly reprobated the very improper behaviour of the innkeeper upon the occasion- • Spqll2 !—Two Hibernians meet ing a few dais since ; one said, !!
