Weeagerly look for the arrival of the next yacht. STOCKHOLM GAZETTE OF JUNE es. The first is a Report from Field Marshal Klingspor dated Brahestad, June 10. It sets forth, that after Colonel Sandels had driven the Russians from Ratitsi• lambi, Lamiavirta, Jorois, : nd Win ka us. taken all their magazines and artillery (99 cannon in all), he proceeded to Koiwist, where, after a severe co cts' the Russiar.s were again defp.ted, when a number of prisonera and considerable stores tell 'h.,* the bands of the Swedes. Sandels was still pursuing we eacady. Sillead quarters were at Cuopto. - The nett - Reppit 'from Genetal Vegesack, dates the Island of Kaisslo, 21st of Juae: Our Rea ders know bat the Swedes from Aland went in three divifeistcs l4 4d in Finhitid, one at Sacobstad, which had orders to. primed to Old Carleby, with a view, in cobjunction 'with General Kliugspor's main army, to hem in the Russians, who are there between '7 and 8000 strOng; the second at Wasa, which also has made good their landing ; but although several fail vourable rumours are circulating, weliave no off eial Reports yet from either of theseavisious. The third was destined to snake a false attack upon Abo, with aview to draw the Russian force to th a t quarter, in order to facilitate the operation of the other divisions. In consequence of this, General Vegesack reports, that he made hirtiselfMaster -of the different islands in the inlet to Abb, stationed strong armaments on Kusto And Raxkerta, the nearest of teem, and distributed his, force in small bodies an every isle - and rock, so as to seem, formidable, "Lid male the enemy-believe that the main attack was meant. upon Abo ; but fearing that this alone should not •have the desired effect of draiv. ing the Russians from the North, be determined to make a landing, which he accomplished on the 19th, at the point of - Letr.o, under, the protection of the well directed fire of the gun boats, which came close .ashore, and soon.forced the Russians to make room. for the Swedes. Getieral,Vegesack now proceeded ,to the pass of Outer Lemo, on the high road to Alio, baring three guns and one thousand five hiindred men. .• Here-an affair§egan, which lastel_fouiteen hour's and a halt,the'Ruesians endeavounng to dis lodge hint,, But seeing gteat bodies of Russians, mostly Cavalry, hourly pouring in, and bearing from a Swe dish Non-commissioned ottcer,"svlio in the night had made his escape from Abe, that the RUssians, already 10,000 strong, were advancing friarn all quarters, and that they took his corps to be only the Avant guard, he judged that he had attained hii purpose, and re-em barked under the same protection of the gun-boats. His loss in - killed and wounded, he states to be 194 men, including Gaiters. His Adjutant, Baron Ram say, was killed. Barons De Geer and Adelsvard, • of the voluntee s, wounded. He praises the soldier like conduct of the latter corps, whom he now had the honour, the first time, to lead to battle. In the night of his landing, 107 young men, of whom Gti' were soldiers oldie garrison of Sweaborg, flew to his standard, and embarked with him. The galley fleet, under Admiral Hjelmsbjerna,was hlock.iding the Russian fleet between the islanis of Hirvensalo and Sattala, in the Bay of Finland. THE EVENING STAR,. I f ONDON. SATURDAY, JULY 9.

The Aivnea, by which-the dispatches from LORD COLLINGWOOD were feceived, also brought over two Deptities freit .gad Cidla4 It is understood that it-was for the purpose of conveying these Depu ties that the cotter Was sent home by Lord Cou.occ.- : 'WOOD, Neither the express object of this depUtation, not the inlbrmation the Deputies bring, has transpired. It will, however, be recollected by those who may be disposed to speculate copcernhlg the purposes of this embassy, that op the deFlarationif war against Boma- PARTE, published by 'the Junta. at Seville,` from %%hence the Deputies come, it is 4ecl4rsd tfutt-ao ae mistice has been contracted with Eneand, and that they hope , to conclude a clutible;pe.tee'witit this country. It is therefore reasonable to suppose, that one olthe objects of the present riepttOtticro is "to , greater formality to the substantially amiable rcla tionlibetireen the two ceertries. The arrival of the AtrueAt as b nsuaj, gar rise to various rumours. We have not,been able to:aseer• tarn the truth of any of Them. The most irsaixerAintt and at the same time the most alarming of these re ports stated, that General DIMONT, with from twelve to fifteen thousand men, who, we were before in formed had been defeated in. the Siera Morena, had indeed been attacked in these defiles but not vanquished. On the contrary, that he had succeeded iriforcing his way and was within five days march ofCadiz. To this it was added, that there was soma chance of his being joined by a French force, said to be proceeding from the South of Portugal. The inference from all this was: that f4le Spaniards had committed a great blunder in refit - sing the cooperation of the British in reducing the French ships ; and that there were grounds for alipAheridingi ie the event of the same slow measures being rived, that the French force might reach Cadiz in aisne to save their ships from safferingmuch by the fire from the batteries. It is true that the Spaniards desired to have the ho nour of subduing the French ships, The desire was very natural, and we highly approve of the conduct of tabs. Cinimandeee in acquiescing in their wishes. Ter there is no evidence of the Frenchiraving passed . the'Bieta Mcrena ; and if, they should, the force of the Patriots in Andalusia is estimated at 60,000 men t 15,09e0f whom are regulars; besides which, Gene-, sal Seexesn's corps is at Cadiz, and a British fleet off' the harbour, so that there is no chance whatever of the French ships being relieved or protected. By a letter from a French Officer at Madrid, which was intercepted by the Spaniards, it appears that the French had no hopes of obtaining any kind of relief iin their present perilous situation. The letter says 8., " If the Spaniards at Bayonne do not keep their pro. mice of reducing the insurgents in the provinces, we are all lost." It appears that the French ships, apprehensive of the danger to which they were exposed, had, on the commencement of the negociation between the Au thorities at Cadiz and the British Commanders, placed themselves in a defensive position, out of the reach Of the guns of the fortress, in the channel leading to the dock-yard. The attack on them was, therefore, con fined to the-batterief on the side of the Leon. The chief-condition required by the French Admi ral when he proposed terms of surrender, was, it is said, that . tie Should be permitted to dismantle 'hit ships. This of course was rejected. Some affirm that before the ALPaItA came away , General SPENC'EttiS corgi had been landed, for,the pur pose of counteosedng an attempt which it was sup posed the French in Portugal were going to make, to force a passage into the Province of Andalusia, froth .the South-western corner of Portugal. We have not ' been able to ascertain that there is any truth` in this statement, and we rather belieVe that when the AL T Pima left our squadron, the British - troops continued on board their transports, and no British line-of-battle ship had entered the harbour of Cadiz. Two of our frigates, however, were at anchor in the outer harbour, amongst the Spanish ships of war. Catalonia, there is no question, has declared for the patriotic cause ; but our Readers may recollect that Barcelona, its capital, and the fortress of Mon , jute, by which, the town is commanded, were in the possession of a French force. Accounts, however , received by the ALPHZA cutter, state, that this force had been surroimdedby the Spaniard& Yet the distance of Barcelona from Cadiz may, perhaps, render-the certainty of such a statement doubtful. The 'islands of Majorca and Minorca have unani mously resolved tn'uuite with their fellow-subjects in resisting the French. Yesterday, after the arrival of the news from Spain, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office. Che whole of ;lie Members were present. The sitting lasteerfrom three till nearly six o'clock. General DI:NO:MIER sailed on Monday from Ply mouth, nr the PLOY Eli, of 18 guns, for Cadiz, with two Spanish Officers, on their return to Spain. Recent events of some kind or other (indeed the public can Ascertain some of them) have caused-a. 7 considefable change in projected military movement!:.' It is no* understood that a grand iapethtion, of which ) the Earl of CHATHAM is to have the command, is resolved on, which will embrace troops that were destined for other services. The Earl is to have with ' him. two Lieutenant Generals, Sir J. •MPORE and. Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY. His army will be in all . 44000 men. His Royal Highness the Duke YORK was, and is extremely desirous to have the ch . command ; and there are not wanting great author:. ties for the rumour that he is yet determined to dairy his desire into execution. The place and object of , the expedition are probably changed. It may be no longer necessary for any part of it to go to Portugal. An effectual diversion may be made elsewhere, and the very uncertainty of the point of attack is itself a diversion. The Bishops, in their respective Dioceses, have been instructed from high authority, to direct, that in every Church or Chapel, 'where marriages cannot legally be, solemnized, there should be placed a Tab let, stating the punishment which every Minister is liable to suffer, if he solemnizes marriage in any place not a:lowed by 26 Geo.

Yesterday the Meetings of the Royal Society closed for this season. A paper was read by Mr. DAvv, detailing a series of experiments which he has con. ducted by means of the galvanic battery ; more novel, more brilliant, of greater importance to science, and probably to the uses of conwnon life, than any th a t mos ever laid at any .time or in any country be. fore • the public.
