Various travellers, chiefly English, have this week arrived from Russia, who all report, that a large body of Russian trope are marching to the frontier of Swedish }inland. This morning arrived a Clurier from Helsing borg, with dispatches from the King, fur his Mi nister in London. He will sail to-morrow morn ing by the packet. Several Couriers have lately passed between St. Petersburg and Helsingborg. Another Russian Mail has :strived this day, but no post from liathhurgh. The King and Queen are erpeled here from Helsingborg, on Saturday next, and yreparations are making for their reception. It is said, that after Ia short stay they vi ill proceed to Stockholm. By the post of Stockholm, of this day, we have re ceived information of the arrival of Lord Leveson Gower, and his suite, from St. Petertburgh. It has also brought another Mail for England, from Russia. Three Hamburgh Mails are now due.

LON DON, MONDAY, D►cea+let 14. Just as this paper was going to press this mornint. two Goltenburgh Mails arrived with letters and papers from Stockholm to the 4th, and Gotten- burgh to the Stlr instant. A very .rsaive corre spondence is carrying on between the Swedish and the Russian Governments, and a large body of Russian troops are upon their march for the frontiers of Swedish }inland.—The Chows PIIIPCI of Dttal MILK is also said to have had an inter ' view with the King of Swings, at Belling borg. The ohjea of these proceediags is, no doubt, to force Sweden from her neutrality into the coalition against England. Lord G. [Avows Gowan, our Ambassador to the Court of St. Pe tersbargh, arrived previous to the 7th inst. at Stoti holm, with his suite. on his return to England. A Swedish Officer arrived this morning with dispatches for the Swedish Minister. He came in the packet which brought the two Gottenburgh Mails. A Gentleman just artivcd from Cadiz, is an American vessel, states, that at the time ot hit de parture, barracks were preparing at a place called La Isla, for an immense body ot French troops, in cluding 10,000 miners. to be employed iu the siege of Gibraltar, on avast scale. The people of Cadia ionaideved the projea as wild and romantic. There were dem sail ut the line, six French and five Spa nish, in the port of Cadis, all ready for sea. So early as the litter end of October they were every moment is eapellation of being joined by the Rus sian fleet. (a proof that a secret understanding did exist long 'Jetta( between France and Russia.) The , \Rassian fleet was only prevented by the presence of Admiral Pu It Ilis's squadron Iron entering that port. Oa its arrival at Gibraltar. a telegraphic conunani cation was immediately sent to Cadiz. The drums were heat, all Officers were instantly ordered on i s n,,rsi the ships ; and the very same military core, don. -...-.~ Trafalpr, were observed on this occasion. Had the Russlons gone io, it wee universally e anderstoochhat the whole of the three combined sqoadrons would have forced their way out, and proceeded to raw thagena, to join the seven Spanish sail of the line there. Great disappointment was felt at Cadiz, and a general outcry against the Russians. The whole of the Spanish troops at Cadiz had set out on their march to Portugal, between the 12,h and I tith of Oauber. and the militia were left to take care of the gatrison. We may presume. that the whole disposable force was sent from most other strong places. These troops must have arrived at i Lisbon by the beginning of November.

Among them are several Pursers, lieute nants, Warrant-Officers, Ste. yet they were all dim. charged, with only the allowance of common sea men.
