'Raven Papers were received in town this af. t..roosse.....Voni/ears of the 21th and 250, and the Journal de rEmpire of the 25th ; but they are wholly silent as to the optiatiuns on the Danube. The occupation of the island of Lessiie, in the Cattegat, is contradicted in the last .Vonitear. There is a report from Minister KILATIMIOIIr y the Commander of the Dutch troops in Seals, to the Kiss of Hostaarn, of the Battle of Almo. lucid, in which the numbers of the French arc stated at 17,000, and those of the Spaniards at 32,000. From Petersburg's it is announced, that the English ay aadrun cruising before Revel have taken possession of the little island of Narjen. The harvest is particularly abundant on the shores of the Baltic. From Denmark a report has been receited of the signature of Peace between Russia and Sweden. The King of WESTPHALIA has left Hanover. The Palace of the Duke of CanattiUGL: had been illuminated. . There is no mention of the renewed Armistice in the Illoniteur, which, howse•er, dues not contain intelligence of so recent a date as the GC/1113111 Papers. 'Gtftss.tx Papers, to the Ist idst. arrived in London this moruieg. They announce the im portant intelli4euce, that " the Ar:oistice, whielt 4, expired trt the 20th of September, has been 66 pro!ongtd for one month, with the additional 44 stipulation, that hostilities are not to be re. " commenced till six weeks after notice shall ‘' lure been given." Hostilities cannot therefore Ise resumed before the 6th day of November. From Stutgard, on the 23th of Sept. the r,•- newal of the Armistice is reported to have b , ...91 prolunged. But the Rotterdam 6uzette or the 30th of Sept. po , .itively states the parti,alars, in the terms that we have mentioned. The fact may therefore, we think, lin received with. eMt doubt. Happily for aulfi•riug humanity, . the renow.il of the war in Germany is 'tn.' , so Ca ren►orcd fru•n probability—that we may ventore to Jismi,s our apprehensions fur the c‘vist of a renewal of a contest—the result of which Ku should anticipate to b.., the final extinction of the Austrian Monarchy. The renewal of the A rsni. slice, ait.l the continued protraction of the uitgo. elation, induce us to indulge a hope, that theistic. jity of the Austrian dominions may 'rat be pre. errved, and that the price, which is nobs negociat. leg, will terminate in a solid, permanent, arrange ment orContineistal &fermium. Until that 'Arent shall be confirined—ratitied beyond all possibility of doubt in this country—we know that totalk of peace ware lag talking to the night , .
