The Russian fleet were spoken with in the Baltic by an American, on the 12th inst. They were steer ing to the Northward, and had springs upon their cables for the purpose of anchoring among the rocks,' to attack the Swedes. It is reported that both Sir J. Saumarez and Sir S. Hood are gone after them ; and as they had early notice of their being at sea, it is to, be hoped a good account will be given of them.— They consist of nine sail of the line, two of which are ships of 110 and 112 guns, and eight frigates, besides smaller vessels. A foreigner of distinction has very lately arrived at Stockholm from St. l'etersburgh, and, it is said, brought the important intelligence that a marked dislike to the French army has lately manifested itself In Russia, Poland, &c. and that an insurrection had taken p'ace, but had not been able to learn parti culars.—l suppose you hove long before this heard of the death of Marshal BRUNE. It is said he was either poi oned or shot by his master's orders, for permitting smugeng with the English, but it is known that icual arte has long disliked him. An Austrian Minister, Baron found his way to Stockholm within this lan week, and imme diately set off for the King in Finland. Upon his re. tt rn from thence, we are teld, he will go to London. Three English mails are now due. We are all panting for Spanish and Portuguese news. Aucesr 27.—We have just received, by some Ame rican Captains, arrived here to-day from Copenhagen, the unpleasant news that 2501 Spaniards who revolted in Zealand, have been overcome by the Danes and French, and put in prison, though not before they lad killed several French officers. Admiral Keats is just entering here with a large Beet, having on board the Spanish troops from Langeland. They will not, it is supposed, go from hence to Spain. SPANISH JOURNALS. By a vessel arrived at Plymouth we have received papers from the North of Spain to the Ist instant, from which we make the following extracts: OVIEDO, AUGUST 29. Notwithstanding our Gazette of Saturday announ- 1 ees the total evacuation of Burgos by the enemy on the 20th instant, yet we learn that they him shlce de tached 6000 men to repossess it, finding that• General BLAzawas not nearer than Astorga. The Duke'del LNFANTADO, and the English Colonel DOIME had set out from thence for Madrid on business of great im portance. Letters have been received here from the latter' place, which make mention of a conspiracy that had been discovered there : the object : is said to baye been entirely in favour of the enemy. and The means to be 'employed,truly diabolical. A certain Marquis, who has since been arrested, was at the hiad of it.. The rumours en this subject are various and CM tradietory. From Port St. Mary's we learn that DUPONT and his Staff arrived there on the 14th inst. in order to embark for France. During the embarkation of the baggage, wbkim the populace beheld with the utmost indignation, one of the packages burst open, and part i of the sacramental plate fell out. It was then no longer possible to restrain the fury and revenge of the people, who immediately rushed upon the carriages, carts, Ste. seized, and tore away the whole. Du zoNT has since had the insolence to write to Don TOMAS Monte, the. Governor of Cadiz, to demand restoration of what he and his troops had themselves stolen from the Spaniards, but received a deservedly reprehensory answer. It is reported that the English: Admiral has refused to suffer the Fre nch troops to rettre by sea. GIJON, AUGUST 30. On the 97th arrived here, under convoy of the Al. bion sloop of var. the brig Patty, haVing on board 5000 stand of arrns, 700,000 cartridges, and one mil tori of raissliet balls, for the use of the Patriots.

Port from Figneira, in six days, we learn with certainty that the great English fleet of 117 transports, with 21,000 men. on board, came into the port of Fi gueira on the 21st and 22d of last month, and on the 23d in the morning began to, disembark t but at four in the evening a brig of war arrived from the English squadron cruising before 'Lisbon, with orders that the troops should immediately re,imbark . in order to make a landing at Cascai, at the entrance :of the bar of Lisbon, and abont a league from that city ; they 'in consequence made sail on the 24th for this destination, These packets folly confirm the intelligence received :oortheß9th, relative to the surrender of Peniche, and the capture of 3000 French out of the 4.000 who were there in garrison, adding, that 7 or 8000 French men had been put to the sword, and the whole $OOO Would have been in like manner massacred, had not the troops been restrained by the English and Portu guese Generals, with threats of the severest punish ments,Matirid 4u,r. 23. General Dupont having written to Don Thomas de Morla, Governor of Cadiz, pressing an immediate embarkation of the troops that had surrendered under' ', his command, received an answer from him, which is inserted in that paper, and in which the Governor ob serves, that " neither the capitulation, nor the appro bation of the Junta, nor even an express . order from the King, can make that possible which in itself is impossible." 44 There are not," adds he, " trans ports, nor any means of obtaining them, for the con veyance of your troops. What can be agreater proof of this, than that we retain your troops here at a great expence, instead of removing them to another country ? 61 General Castanos, when he promised to obtain a passpket from the English for the passage of your qemy, could only engage to solicit one with earnest ness, as he has done. But how can your Excellency suppose that the British ships would suffer your troops to pass, certain that. they were going to make war on their nation in some other plaCe, I cannot persuade myself that either General Castanos or your Excellency would believe that such a capitulation could be carried into effect. " The object of your Excellency must have been to obtain conditions, sihich, thoughiFtpossibleoniglst do honour to your surrender we must, however, submit to the imperious LAw of necessity." e ORUNNA, AUGUST et. Yesterday evening a rurtuguese arrived in this port from Figneira, commanded by Ircento Per rurra Bosse, with six days voyage. She brings the pleasing intelligence that Lisbon was again under Portuguese Sovereignty, and that the Russian squa dron that was in the Tagus, by previous agreement with the Briiiih General, had fired on the city ; by this means affording the English troops an opportunity to lancl,and who combining theis operations with the Bri tish army in the neighbourhood', together with there volt of the Swiss in the Frenck Finh.contributed to fire stwrender of the placer A Gentleman who escaped {son Eisilon on the 12th elt. has arrived in. town. - Of amrse the intelligence he brings is not very recent. Some of the anecdotes he relates are, however, wiithy of, a pentsal. He states that— " On the Bth of June the French Officers gave a moat srptu on* entertainment to General f ont, in the Optxa The stage was converted into an eating-room, the t.tt was boarded over fur the dancers, and the boxes were allotted to the specta tors. On this occasion the Russian Officers were invited. " Previous to the entry of the guests,' the curtain *as drown up. and a display of every thing magnificent was presented to the gaze of the multitude. The French flags were placed round the stage, each of which bore an inscription of some victory of Bo naparte, including that of Friedland over the Russian army. The moment the Russian Officers discovered the latter. they in 4inust withdrew from the scene, and ever after declined the invitation and society of the French, nod attached themselves more than ever to the society of the few ))Shish subjects who bed been com pelled to remain in Lisbon, and who had been released from their imprisonment. " On the Occasion of the Fete above spoken of, s requisition was made of al the plate, chandeliers, and other ornamental re. gullies, in the possession of the inhabitants of the place. Many refused complianCe, until a guard was sent to their house; to en force it. No part of these things ornl ever afterwards returned tothcir ownalt-• " It appeared evident to every person In Lisbon, aa en detstanding subsisted between the English an.d Russian Admiral,.

It appears that, on the Festival of Corpus ..the French were ender great appreher.sions of an insurrection. To prevent any attempt of this kind, Joyner, under pretence of paying a compliment to the grand religious ceremony performed on that day, 'gave orders that the whole of the Ftrcla army should line the street through which the procession was to pass. The troops accordingly attended, accom panied with all 4 , the pride, pomp, stud circuthstance of war," displaying military trophies won at Ulm, at Austerlitz, at Jena, and at Friedland, in short, with every thing that could strike the Portuguese with awe, or fill them with tenor. Miring the most solemn part of the procession, a, 'ludicrous inci4ept occurred which produced great 'confusion. A gang of pickpockets, who were de tected as they were labouring in their vocation, had, recourse to an extraordinary expedient to effect escape. A cry was railed-.=. The Eraglish iVre landed." The, spectators immediately dispersed is all directions, and,the French under arms appeared" rather embarrassed for the moment. Several of the corps began to take the position best adapte.d for defending themselves against an immediate attack. Though the imposture was quickly discovered, it required the whole of the day to restore tranquillity. General Joi'so witnessed this scene of confusion from a window. The subjoined letter, Ovough not of a recent date, contains some par. iculaes that deserve to be know; : I' CADIZ, AUGUST its.
