W.• received, last night, Hamburgh and Altona palms, to the loth instant. They contain further evideoce of NAPOLEONS deterinitiatioa to over ;leo Spain. All the French troops in Germany, and those of his vassal KiugA, arc marching for France, on their route, no doubt, for the Pyrenees, Among the vassal troops in actual motion, or which have-received orders to be in readiness to march, are those 4.1 Bavaria, Wirtemberg, Saxony, Hol land, mud %Vest:Mali:l. Part of Davotises corps will remain in Prussia, and Marshal Solar, it is said, will remain at Berlin, as Goveninr of that city. The Fre.ieh troops that had been sent northward, to prevent the escape of the Spaniards, are returning to frainhurgli, in which city BEntra norm now has his head-quarters. The Spaniards mho had not the good fortune to effect their mi. cape, are to he incarcerated in the Prussiau fortress of Spandau. They are represented as the prey of melancholy, or Lred viith i•idignation—the natural consequence of the cruelties which they suffer.— Such is the barbarous treatment which these brave and loyal men recei►e, mink a British General at Lisbon undertakes to procure the liberty, and gait modes the safety, of those Spanish rebels mud trai tors, who planned the destruction of their country. Every new arrival from the Continent furnishes evidence of the ignorance and darkness with which NAPOLEON labours to cover it. The Spanish Consul in Lower Saxony has been placed in confinement, by order of BEIIIIADOT rt., for haviag stated to a friend, that he believed the Spaniards had beat, ii the French. The Ihuu bn►gh papers also state, that the apprehensions of a war between France and Austria had vanished, mad that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has published a satisfactory declaration upon the subject. By further advice., received from Sweden, it ap pears that the war is prosecuted with great activity and success against Russia. The action of the la.t, announced in our extracts on Saturday from the Gottenburgh Papers, has been followed by another and more important engagement The SWEDISII AMBASSADOR, and several Merchants of respectability, received letters of a late date, on Saturday, from Stockholm, which mention some of the details.—The scene of action is stated to ha►e been between Bijornbarg and Christianstadt. The Ito...ions, we understand, were endeavouring to tiii the positiaa of the Sweele•s.' The loss on both sidca was rely great. The Swedes admit that they Officers awl upwards of boo plivetcs kitbeet awl wounded. The Russians left 2,0011 dead on the fichl of battle. Ge.icral CROSSZEDT, who so inners distinguished himself in the preceding action, in ninth he was wounded, was present at this se cond engagement, mid fell, as he was gallantly charging at the head of his corps. The conse quence of this import:tat victory was the immediate opening of the communication with. Abo, from which the enemy fc'3 back between du and 40 miles on the road to St. Petorsburgh. la other qua:rers of Finland there have 1. en several tr,cial affairs, which were followed by no consequences of any moment. The Souks, how ever, felt so confident a.. to have advanced in some points upward. of idtccit iu.i.s eey mid the Russian frontiers. • Success also attends the Swedish arms at sea.— A divilion of the Swedibh flotilla, consistin; of 35 gun-boat., under the command of Lieut.-Colonel }lns Nem, has had an action with a Russian flotilla, of 40 gun-boats, and several arniedscountty barges, in the channel between Westerby and Frisido (be tween Alm and Nystail). The firing began at half post twelve, on the 3Cth of August, and Conti I lIILICt. with great fury till half-past six in the evening. when the enemy was forced to retreat, and was pur sued till about nine o'clock, most of his gun-boats harinq then struck their colours. They continued, notwithstanding, to retreat iii the grvatitut ha.tr t till the approaching night. The ibiliculty of the navigation made it datigerms for the Swedes t• persevere in the pursuit. The loss of the enemy daring the action has been considerable. One of. his gun-boats was blown up, and eight sunk, with several of the smaller vessels. His loss in men cannot be exactly ascertained ; but, to judge from the number found in the boats wrecked en the coast, it must have been eery severe. The Swedish loss has also heel confidura'.le. It consists of two gun-boats, ona blown up, ail the other sunk, with four Officers killed, Once wounded, and .200 men killed and wounded.
