Consols for acc. 64i A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning. If we may credit the intelligence received by this convey ance, the cessation of hostilities for the present be tween Russia and Sweden seems to give additional strength to the report of an approaching coalition be tween these two Powers. We give the following curers : GOTTENBURGH, JULY is. " The conquest of Norway by this country seems to be given up for the present. The Swedish army has retired within its own borders, and all military preparations have ceased ; the two armies, however, remain upon the frontiers. We have nothing official from Finland, but report continues to say there has been an affair near 'Vasa, in which the Swedes have suffered considerably. The Royalist cutter brought in here yesterday a Danish schooner privateer, hav ing on board 44) men. This privateer attacked the outwardbound packet-boat (the Lord Duncan, Cap. tain HAMILTON), on Friday last, off this port, and continued fighting and chacing her for nearly three hours. It was only by superior manoeuvring that Captain Hamilton contrived to escape and come in here. " His Royal Majesty's Yacht Aniaills, at anchor in Jungfinsund, July 11. " His Royal Majesty set sail from Pitkluto for Jungfinsund on the Bth, at three o'clock in the mor ning, and arrived there at two o'clock in the after- I noon. His Royal Majesty thereupon proceeded to the station of gun-boats, in order to review them, and ; the following day (the 9th) the ships of war, one di ♦ision of which is stationed here, under the orders of Col. Gegerfelts, in order to defend & Sound, in con junctloit with the b division of gun-boats commanied by Cat. Selfiverrarn. Intelligence was received of a Ruisian fleet of galleys, 40 in number, which were stretching along the coast,having set sail from Hango, but (fired not to attack our squadron. Part of the above fleet has already put back to Hango, and the rest dropped anchor off the Isle of Emit°. " Major-General Baron Vegesack arrived here yes terday, tb attend his Royal Majesty in the capacity of Adjutant-General. " *cording to a report received from Rear-Ad miral Hjelmstjerna, both fleets of galleys continued yesterday in the same positios b in Ersta Bay and Borkholm Sound. " Rear-Admiral Baron CederstroM arrived yester day, and set sail for Sweden, having obtained leave of absenie from his Majesty. Rea.r-Admiral Rauk hoff has in his absence assumed the command "of the squadrci of ships of war." The intelligence brought by the CAnmus was made public on Saturday evening, by the circulation of the following BULLkTIN: - - - - - 4, DOWNING-STREET, SATURDAY EVENING. " Captain Wirrea, of the Cadmus, who reached the Admi ralty this morning from St. Ander°, has brought advice of the evacuation of that City by the French troops, who, finding them selves unequal to sustain a threatened attack from the patriotic forces under the direction of General POSTS (who bad advanced to Santillana) had, after plundering the town of a large sum of money, and destroying all the arms in it, escaped during the night of the 12th, towards Lkrganes, on their route to Whoa. General PONT!, apprised of their Movements, followed with a corps or 4000 light troops, mostly regulars, and it is hoped would overtake them. The accounts frorailboa state, that lost? II Bo NAPARTIt has at length entered Spain—he was crowned King at St. Sebastian's on the 9th. The American Captain states, that the most gloomy silence prevailed during the ceremony. From St. Sebastian's he proceeded to Tolosa, and thence by Mondragon toVittoria, where he was again proclaimed on the 10th, and Intended to have pro awned his route to Burgos; advice, from Marshal Bassmaas had, however, induced him to delay his departure, and be re mained at Vittoria on the 11th. " Marshal Bigamies had, on the nth, auembled a body of about 18,000 men, including some Polish regiments, and was stationed between Bilboa and Marquina. The Asturian army amounted to 44,000 men, including the division of General Pox Tx, and had, at the above date, entered Castile, for the purpose of giving battle to the enemy." JOIMPH BONArARTE has at length entered Spain." Moniteurs to the 18th, and Dutch Papers to the 20th, give a few particulars not detailed in the Bul letin. MURAT arrived at Bayonne, in tke afternoon of the 6th. On the following day the body calling them selves the Spanish Junta, at Bayonne, met for the last time, and it was arranged, that on the Bth or 9th, at latest, King Jaunt, with all the Members of the Junta, were to leave Bayonne on their way to Spain. The- route of King JO6IIPH is marked out with great pre cision, and the 27th instant is fixed for his entrance into Madrid. On the 13th he was to arrive at Vit toria. It is stated in the Bulletin circulated on Sa turday afternoon, that he arrived there on the 10th, that he was induced by advices from Marshal Bas strap to delay his departure for Burgos, and remained at Vittoria on the 11th. According, however, to the route above alluded to, he was not to be at Burgos till the I.sth. We cannot, therefore, at present ascer tain, whether he has bear actually delayed in his journey by the proximity.- of the Patriot force. One 00, the rumours of yesterday was, that he had actually ' arrived at Burgos. It is singular that NAPOLZON should be able to mark with so much precision the different stages of his brother's progress to Madrid. This circumstance and the arrival of MURAT at Bayonne, seems to prove that the communication in that direction has never been entirely suspended—in other words, the French are in greater force than we had reason to be lieve from the Spanish accounts. Indeed it would be absurd to expect that in a mo ment the French force should become inert.- ostri fit for no exertion in any quarter, or that the Patriots should only have to chew themselves to make veteran troops fly before them. sing Josem has no doubt along-with him a respectable force, and it need not excite surprize should he be able to make some pro gress. The Patriots must give way before a large regular army : this is the rule laid down in the is dructions published by the Supreme Junta at Seville; and it is the only mean by which they can eventu ally hope to destroy the invaders. As often as they depart from it, either from choice or necessity, they must, for a time at least, expect defeat. It gives us pain to announce that this has already been the case.—Advices were yesterday received from Sir THOMAS Dims, dated Benevento, July 16, which state, that a battle took place between the French and Spanish armies, commanded by Cens. LAsoLrs and CHISTAI on the 14th, at Rio Seco, near Valladolid, which lasted from eight till half past twelve The 1 French force consisted of 10,000 infantry, 2000 ca valry, and artillery, and a large proportion of can non ; that of the Patriots amounted to 14,000 infan try, with only 800 cavalry, 26 pieces of cannon, and a body of peasantry. The ardour and impetuosity of the new levies in the Patriot Army were not to be restrained, and con sequently they fell in upon the French, and, in the first outset drove the enemy back, capturing four • pieces of cannon, which they spiked. The country, however, being open, and the French being greatly superior in cavalry and artillery, the brave Patriots t were unable to maintain the advantage they had gained. it; ( AP r701 . 743rr.5. • ... v tri 1 : • . - They holm** iiMii4blQ hi goo& order tr i sZ:t under cover of nie Spanish regiment of . 1 leaving behind them 13 pi ec e s of c an non ; brit French had suffered so desperately in the action, that they were not in a cenditibil to enter Rio Seca till four hours after the battle, and they made no at- 1 tempt to pursue the Patriots to Bebe:Veep, where General CuarrA continued at the date Of Sir T 137. MM DYER'S letter, receiving teinlorcetrients, would speedily &able him to court another meeting' with his adversary, and with every prospect of a dif ferent result. It Must, however, be admitted, that in the plains of Leen and Castile, the enemy ; whilst they maintain a superiority in cavalry and horse ar tillery, fight with great advantage against raw troops, inadequately eptipped. The loss, in killed and wounded, is nde Mentioned. it was reported that the French General Lissom was killed, as his horse was said to have been found without a rider. Such are the leading particulars of this battle.- We only remark on it, that it is only by reverses and disas ters that undisciplined men are at length converted into good soldiers. If the unanimity and spirit of the Patriots remain unbroken, they will profit by this and similar events, which reasonable men may yet expect to happen. In almost every other part of Spain, the Patriotic Cause continues triumphant. By a vessel arrived from Bilboa, an Extraordinary Gazette, pub lished at Seville on the 3d instant, has been received. —lt further confirms the success of Generai PALAFOX . over General LEFEMVRE, at Saragossa, though there are some contradictions of dates. It appears by this, that the French army bombarded the town for several days, but that after a most dreadful conflict, they were utterly defeated. The conduct of the Spanish Officers, on this occasion was so truly gallant, that every one of them have since been promoted. The same Extraordinary Gazette confirms the account we gave on Saturday, of the victory obtained by the Pa. triots over General MONCZY in Valencia. The fight ing in that quarter did not terminate till the 20th ult. by which time the whole of the enemy's force were either killed, or made prisoners. In the preceding columns we have given some more Spanish documents. The Proclamation, dated the 12th instant, will be read with particular interest. Saturday's Gases* contains not only two addresses to his MAJESTY, from the City of London, relative to the support and success of the Spanish Pauiots, but also one from the Commissioners and Representatives of the Royal Burghs of Scotland, expressive of the " lively interest with which they view the rising spirit of a neighbouring nation, and the warm sympathy which they feel with them in their generous efforts to wrest their country from the iron grasp of the Despot of the Continent." A duel we understand was fought on Vold Carr ,on Monday morning, between two officers of the 9th garrison battalion lying at Hull ; neither of the par ties were wounded, and the affair was afterwards made up. The French Consul General at Philadelphia has advertised for sale, the French ship l'Eole, of 74 guns, lying in the port of Baltimore, so long blockaded by the English. The King of Syria:it/4, upon leaving Stockholm, left a Regency to govern Sweden, and it was said to be his intention to proceed to Petersburgh, to have a per sonal interview with his brotherin•law, the Emperor Acxxxenuu. Th• story of a new Pope having been chosen on the resignation of Pius VII. which occupied much of the papers of. the last week. is unfounded. Prince PIGNATZLLI, Bishop of Palermo, who was stated to have been chosen in the conclave as the successor to the chair of St. Peter.. has been dead these two years. The allowanCe offered by Rft—NAPARTZ to his Holiness, as Bishop of kome, was 300,000 scudi per month. Yesterday morning died the Hon. HINRY RAM SAY, at the house of his brether, the Hon. WILLIAM MAtmz, in Spring Garden. +his amiable young Gentleman was in the naval service of the East India Company, and when last in China was drawn into a duel with a Brother Officer, in which he received a I wound in the bead, that, on his return to England, required the operation of the trepan. It was per formed last week by Mr. Hosts with every prospect of success, but inflammation ensued, and barna all medical skill. Wednesday last, James Gilchrist was executed at Glasgow, for the murder of his wife. He asserted his innocence to the last. This dat came on in the Court of King's Bench, Guildhall, Sir Jour; CARR'S action against HOOD and another, for a libel for printing and pub lishing a book with caricatures of the Plaintiff. Mr. GAnnow made a very eloquent speech on behalf of Sir John Carr, to whom he paid many handsome com pliments. The ATTORNEY GENERAL was heard in reply.—Lord ELLatraottouou, in summing tp, ob served, that the action could not be maintained, as the caricatures only applied to the Plaintiff as an au thor.—A verdict was, of course, given for the Defen dants. His Grace the Duke of Bedford, Earl Mount- norris, Viscount Valentia, and several other persons of rank and characters attended on behalf of Sir John Carr.

Come, Freedom, come on wings of fire, And with thee bring the martial lyre! See where lberia's sons advance To meet the death-doom'd files of France! Heaven's lightning dames in every eye, And Gallia's slaves in terror fly ! Lo ! far the sky-born vigour spreads; Where Glory's sturbright banner leads. Hark! loud the Patriot-trumpet blows, One ardent mass the nation glows. Dread Justice draws her flaming brand, See, Vengeance flashes from her hand ! Combining Nations rise as one, The Despot trembles on his throne ! His paisiedjund the sceptre yields, While much he rues his bloody fields! BRITANNIA gasps her gleaming spear, Bids Freedom's sons no danger fear ; The friendly Sag holds high unfurl'd, And opts a sanctuary to the world!

GERMAN?. BANKS OF THE MAINE, lUNL es. According to accounts from Brandenburgh, the mission of the Russian Minister Von Stein not only bad reference to the payment of the arrears of the contributions, but to the liberation of the Prussian provinces from the occupation of the French troops. Neither of these objects, however, was attained. Some Prussian commercial houses hadoffered to give bills on Paris for the amount of the remainder of the contri butions, which sum was to be repaid them gradually by the Government. The Counsellor-of State, Darm, the Intendant Ge neral of the Finances, entered into a negotiation on this subject with M. Stein, and the offer was accept ed, provided the Emperor would ratify the agree ,goent. But this notification has not been obtained : it is even said, that *he Emperor declared political cir cumstances rendered the evacuation of the Prussian territory on this side the Vistula impossible—and that a change in these cirtumstances must be waited for. It is therefore considered as certain, at least accord ing to general report, that the French troops will form a camp near Berlin. VIENNA, JUNE 27. It is confidently asserted that the frequent jonrnies of the Archduke Palatine of Hungary to this capital relate to the execution of the measures which our Go vernment is about to adopt, to prevail on. the States of Hungary to supply recruits, reserved troops, and to pursue the same measures which have been ordered ill Austria. According to the Hungarian Constitution, such measures can only be consented to by a Geneml Diet. It is, however, supposed, that if a Diet were assem bled, it would not adopt them, or if it did, that it would be only conditionally ; that is, that the Empe ror should consent on his part to various demands made to him at the last Diet, and which were refused by our Court. To attain the object which our Go. vernment wishes, the consent of the principal Mag rats is sought, and the Archduke Palatine is charged with the negociation, but it is not known what degree of success he has had. It is, however, certain, that these Magnats are to assemble here, in a Committee, to decide in the name of the Hungarians, on the pro posals made by our Court ; but there is reason to be lieve that this manner of treating the affairs of Hun gary, will find ii that kingdom but few persons to approve of it, and that it will occasion fresh com plaints. Doubts also are entertained, that the Mag. nats attached to the Court will take upon themselves to stipulate for their felkakeitizeus, without being thereto s specially authorized.
