We stated, in a Second Edition of yesterday, the arrival of Lieutenant DOBREE, from Gottenburgh, with the Treaty of Peace between Russia, Sweden, and Great Britain, and which %I/As announced in the course of the night in a letter to the LORD MAYOR, and in the following Gazette Extraordinary : • " FOREIGN-OFFICE, DOWNING-STREET, JULY 31. 44 ViscountCssmtasson has this day received, by Lieutenant DoanEE, of his Majesty's ship VICTORY, despatches from EDWARD THORNTON, Esq. his Ma jesty's Plenipotentiary in Ssxeden, transmitting a Treaty of Peace and Friendship between his Majesty and the Emperor of all the Itussias ; and a Treaty of Peace and Friendship between his Majesty and the King of SWEDEN, signed at Orebro by Mr. THORNTON and the repective Plenipotentiaries of the two Powers, on the IBth instant." Lieutenant DOEREE came over in the SHELDRAKE sloop of war, which landed him at Yarmouth at a late hour on Thursday night. He left Gottenburgh on the 21st, at which period no accounts of any battle had reached that place. About 30,000 Swedes were at Stockholm, ready to embark at a moment's warning. It was rumoured at Gottenburgb, that,Russia had not demanded any other than naval co-operation from this Country, and that SWeden was to be fur. nished with a small subsidy, and supplies of clothing and ammunition. Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, the AQUILON frigate, with Lord CATHCART and suite on board, sailed with a fair wind from Yarmouth Roads for the Baltic...- His Lordship was accompanied by his two Sons. Lord WALPOLE, the Secretary of Legation, will follow in a few days. •••••••••••••• A Heligoland Mail arrived this morning with the following intelligence. As to the rumour of the battle between the Russians and French, contained in the letter from Heligoland, we are afraid to ctedit it: " HELIGOLAND, JULY es.

The American Minister called forthis repeal, and nothing less, as a ries qoa Mq to the mi. nuance of a good understanding.

We stated yesterday Out the embargo. on vessels bound for America w.is resorted to more as a pre cautionary measure than as cr,:c of hostility, and we now find that it was at the solicitati..n of the Mer chants and Underwriters at Lloyd's that Ministers came to the determination. So confident, however, are the merchants that there is little or no danger to be apprehended from the hostilities of America, that they have suggested an expedient by which vessels will be permitted to sail with convoy for British ports in America, there to continue until the result of the rupture is ascertained. This plan is underst xrd to have been acceded to by Goveromnt, on condition of bonds being granted to the value of ship and cargo, that no vessel shall fraudulently leave the convoy and make for a port in the United States. In the moan-time there will be captures made daily of American vessels by our cruizas, for the Ame ricans are no doubt busy in this way themselves ; but it will he an easy matter to settle accounts on this score, by a general restoration of captured property. The Mary-Ann has arrived at Falmouth, from New Brunswick, with intelligence that an American gun-boat has captured a British armed schoo:ler, and that the American troops had been repulsed by r.l detachment of the 41st regiment, in an attenlnt to surprize our out-posts in Canada ; but, as w have rot been able to ascertain the dates of these occur rences, we are inclined to doubt the truth of the rerrt. While on the subject of the Arner icon dispute, our private sources cf information enable us to communi. cate a most striking circumstance, which will fully enable our Leaders to appreciate the probability of a continuance of hostilities against Great Britain. The question of declaring war against France was di:bated in the Senate with closed doors, immediately after the vote was taken respecting Great Britain, and it was; last by a majority of two ; the numbers being kr war 15, against it 17. The delay in the return of the Wasp from France was the sole motive for the ques. tion not being carried in the affirmative. Now this vessel sailed from Cherbourgh on the 3d of June, after landing an American Gentleman at Cowes on the 4th, and taking on board some English Newspa pers of that date. .This Gentleman, who was on terms of the strictest intimacy with Mr. Bantow, at Paris, informs us, that Mr. BARLOW had not effected the object of his mission in a single point, and that his representations to his Government had been by far too sanguine. The arrival of the Wasp in America will, there fore, produce a different sensation, and the question of peace or war with France will unquesticmably come under discussion ag sin, for, with all our dt übts of his talents and integrity, we cannot suppose Mr. MADISON capable of sacrificing the best interests of his country to promote the overwhelming projects of the French Government. If he does continue in his 'present spirit of animosity against Great Britain, we think we may venture to predict that a single cam paign will lay America prostrate at our feet, and the universal tyrant of the world win smile at her ruin. The following is an extract of a private letter, dated Boston. June igs, received yesterd a y, v i a HalifAx : " The painful task now devolves upon me of com mmicating the declaration of war on the part of our Government against Great Britain and her depen dencies, I have long been apprehensive that a reties of blunders and mismanagement would lead to that . _
