A Gotteuburgh Mail arrived yesterday, and has brought intelligence from Koningsberg, which completely falsifies the rumour of a revolution iu Russia, and confirm% the report of an intended in terview• at Pafurth between the Emperor ALEX ANDER and BOKAPARTE. An article, dated hio ningsberg, the 16th last. states. that the Euratom, • accompanied by his. brother, the Greta) Duke Consta:alas, and the French Auiliassedor,-Cse- LINGOWIT, were to set net from St. Peterdiergli on the 18th or 19th following, andithaftbt Empe, ror of AIJR7RLA had received a spatial invitation to meet the patty at Erfurth. The Greed Duke CONAN:ANT/NE,. it is said, does not like the jour- Dry, and was winch disinclined to undestelte it.— We imps this may piove true. as the Citand Duke has been considered ac weak young mini, en tirely devoted to BON APARTE, unit possessing a srmng influence over his brother. CALL I NCOURT, the other principal companion of ARIZ ANPER, nt his jormiey to Valera'. is the man , who seized and murdered the Duke D'Esuittsit—a murder so deeply felt and resented at the time by this very Emperor of RufitA. Is he not afraid, then, that in travelling with suchAttuouster, he is taking his eye eutioner in his suite? Tile horror excited by the mur der ofthe Duke D'Ea u MN, and the sensation pro duced in Spiiin by the perfidious tirjzure of the Reads of its lin) al (louse, are th, only security ALF CAN ace has fur his return from Erfarth, is free and living men. The Papers contain souse entwines of the military operations in Finland and off the coast, but they are not of importance. —They communicate no slew matter respecting the IWIWMIIOII in I'ort The Pluerr sloop of war, of i, guns,.Captain BROWNE, arrived on Tuesday, at Plymouth, and landed Lieutenant-C«•nema 'ir ARTHUR 1% IL LEALEy, Mtijor-fieneral FriumioN, who so much distinguiAled himself in the battle of Vinieira, and their staff. Among the Officers who lauded with them were Lord T. SOMERM.T. tion..Capt. STIII MOPE, Ist ("Raids ; Capt. R. LEw•re, and Capt. Toots:, of the 3-.ld Regiment ; Captains MELLISH WWI BL'ILRAtiE, of the gslh•; and Lieut. WIN MEAN, of the tat Guards. They ull appeared in high health and spirits, and set off for London, where they arrived yesterday.

Reports by the Rarer state, that the English troops, us 'wish as those of the Portuguese, are ex tremely mortified at die late Convention. General Sir HEW DALRYMPLE remained at Lisbon when the Plover sailed. She passed the Russian fleet, frogs the Tagus,. off Scilly,. on Monday. The An: sehootier remained off St. Helen's, yesterday, ex pecting its arrival, with instructions,. we under stand, to order it fur the Downs, it being the in tention of Government to make the Medway its place of deposit. We have received some German and Dutch Papers, the latter to the 30th last. They repeat the report of an intended interview between ALEI• Aii DKR and NaroLsoat at Erfurth, after which it is said the latter was to•set oat for Ilayonne, whet e he was expected on the 18th instant. ALout that time all the French colunaos, and all the heavy artillery destined for Spain, will have arrived on the frontiers of that country, and the campaign will be formally commenced. It is• added, that BON ?Arm will command the Grind Army iii per and that Marshal Alissts i will command a sep s _ rate corps of 18,000 men. We have ground, hoe. ever, to hope that the hemp anus have before thi s time sustained a signal delea on the Ebro. Th e position of the respettire armies i❑ that *turner, 4 1 the beginning of I.lst month, allows us to conclude that they could not avoid a general action mita th e lath October. IVe this day resaisse our extracts from the Sp an . ;A i papers; the 'substance of which we gave yester day. They were brought by the Dispatch parker, Captain Hamm,. which arrived on Monday at Fail.. mouth from COlllllll4, with mails, after a pa,,, age of the days.

IVithout, indeed, annexing the slightest credit either to the eel:tart of thr intruded ewes. anon of Painiwlona by the French, or to the pre. tended propotail made by them fire surrcoshaing the fortress of Figueroa, both of %filth it mart be confessed are very improbable extols ; we are yet authorised to believe that they cannot undertake any eery distant offensive operations, moires re inforced beyond their actual 11111 Robers. It is ar acult, from the lights *Worded us by the Cortu,sa Papers, to ascertain either their precise positioo, their acrAregete amount, or their uppercut itera tions.

Unquestionably, such car event is ems more than probable, when we reflect on the pa-t history. and. present state of. Russia, together soh the defeats and disgraces suffered by Boeseser sr. in.

Lt it impossible that tisese eirensustances. now become notorious, and no longer capable of being con'.

Already. if we may credit indirect accounts f;onsCartha gena. traustnitted through Catalonia to Gslnds even the Austrian,Government ventures to institute a sort of inquiry into the atrocities, inisrepresents thins, and.Nliturfestos of the Corsican Emperor, re lative to his brother Joseru's assamption of Om Spanish crown. If the Court of Vienna has rear; ventured to put into execution such a measure, it may be regarded us equal to a declaration of war.
