Dispatches were yesterday received from Sir flora ionctx, dated the 6th August, in which he an- I Douses that tne French suddenly evacuted St. An dere moths 3d instant. They took the rota to San- Ms, and it was supposed meant to proceed t Vit- toris. The British entered the place tour hours ter the uneasy retired.. Sr Bolts, in his dispatch, considers the evacuation if St. And:ro, as the consequent. of the important toory gained by Lord WELLINGTON. rt,statts no tdlttional fact, nor giires any corroboration of the vent; but speaks of, and reasons upon it, as a thing of which the Admiralty mast he in possessi: He takes to himself credit, that though he ' 1. 4,09 - lately failed in every a• tempt he had mull on •. e coast, yet his Expedition, and the awe it nad in spired, must have created a diversion favourebte to Lord Wimusanox, since the French were thereby teterred from drawing away any Fart of tu...ir sons on the coast to reinforce MARMONT'S army. M no dispatches have yet arrived from — Lard Wltunvox, the above is all we have in our power to add in confirmation of the reported victory. It. is true that Sir HOME Popt.tst had received no (en- Or:diction of the report down to the 6th inst.- but then we are sorry to add, though he had remained is days on the Spanish coast, from the time the first rumour reached his ear, that he had received nothing further by way of confirm:lion. After what we have said already on the subject of this supped battle / further opinions, in the absence of facts, would be unnecessary. Come Extracts, which we have given below from the Oottenburgh Mail of this morning, will be found interesting; hi addition to which we have just re ceived an article from that place, (rated the. 4th inst. 'which says, a report had been brought there by two. l different vessels, stating that a battle had been fought between the French and Russians, and that the former had lost 30,000, and the latter 60,000 men.— Our report from 'Change further adds, that this had been brought about by ALEIANDIS 11.11 d BAGUAT lON attempting to form a junction; and that the British merchants were preparing to quit St. Petersburgh ard other Russian ports on the GOTTENRUEIGH, Loam 4. Prate between England and Sweden is tabs plo t:aimed throughout all Sweden on Sunday next, and the ports will be declared open en the 1 Sth instant. - A body of Cossacks have completely cut to pieces a Polish regiment. The French have lost an immense number of horses from the badness of weather, and great scarcity of 1 ^N 1 ; they have experienced the most incessant rains try? remembered. A number of English bomb vessels and other ships of s.r, tve passed by for the Baltic. BERLIN, Jvit 211. nag . Caulks contain the following :--According " most recent intelligence from the Grand Army, tfe Itassina rear-guard is briskly pursued by the Ring of NAPLES. The enemy having gained the other side of the Dziann, destroyed the bridges, hoping to deprive the French of the means of passing the 'her ; but five batteries of light artillery spoiled his plan, and for several hours caused great slaughter among the enemy's ranks. We are assured, that the Polish General of Brigade passed the Dziana at the head of the 2d regiment of Prussian Hussars and 9th Polish Hussars, advanced several leagues, sand over threw six Russian squadrons.

On the subject the Polish frontiers, for the purpose of reinforcing of parole breaking, the Gazette de France exone the Grand Russian Army which is in presence of the i rates Lord I'm:anoints from the charge brought & French. The GRAND Vizixa was still at howls. against him in one of its preceding numbers, by say -(Abeilk du Nord, July YB.) . j. ing, he obtained his release to return to London; --Nosm.—• • • • . and begs his .

Government are bound to notice it, or otherwise they will sacri fice all claim to honour or humanity; and by the question being thus agitated, an equitable adjustment of differences respecting the Prisoners, may be brought about. In this case, the old proverb will be verified, which says, " good sometimes comes out of evil"— We have this day given the articles from our country ' men al the depot at Longwy, in France, which oe alluded to on Monday ; they will be read with that interest which the subject-.merits ; and we hope and trust, that the attention of the REGENT'S Govern mete, as well as every friend to humanity, will e be effectually drawn to it, that the great mass of mi- ' sery to which human nature is subject, may no I longerhave such a serious addition made to it by the obstinacy of the respective Governments. It will be seen by the letter addressed to the Edi tor of the ST MADAN, ' that our countrymen at Longwy have been treated infinitely eorse since the t:me of direct.eg their Petition to Lord HOLLAND, which proves, pretty clearly, that the Petition was intavepted by the Commandant of the Depot, or same of his agents, who consist partly of English, and who, it seems, are ext -.mei, active in forward. fig unfounded complaints against the Prisoners to tie Minister of War, that 'hey may pursue their course of iniquity a , At.st 'tie captive with imps!. nity :—the Conuaandarst a-d his minions exhibit complaints against the P r is o oe e s, that p r ejudice ma y stifle the Petitions of the I .t . er. Our countrymen, however, express a hope, that by their Petition and 1 Letters appearing in the . iTATESSIAN, a true statement of their case will find its way to the French Minister i at War; which implies a belief' on their part, that, if the Minister were rightly informed of their situa tion, it would be altered for the better ? Buft ought the removal of this wicked increase of misery upon our captive brethren to be left to the chance of the French Minister at War seeing the articles which i I are this day publigted in the STATESDAN? Or ought not Government immediately to tahet-tbe business up, I and transmit a statement of the ease, as they find it, direct to the French Minister at War? end if an ar-"I rangement for a general Exchange of Prisoners were not the immediate consequence,at least the grievances complained of would be enquired into, and, if found to exist, would, most probably, be redressed. .W.l do expect that Governmefle will interfere ; batese it would be concluding the Members thereof to be on. I feeling, it we could suppose for a moment, that, with living proof in their hands, of the none , cessary and unjustifiable hardships which are in, flitted upon our countrymen, their would not exert themselves to have such hardships rem/eyed. cut the French have thrown the gauntlet in defiance to our Ministers for *general Exchange of Prisoners, and the latter must either take it up, or stand com mitted in the eyes, even , of their friends. They are charged by the French writers with a want of good faith, as well as of humanity, in their conduct to- 1 wards the prisoners of war. They are called upon 1 to restore the 12,000 men who surrendered qt Bay- 1 len to the Spaniards, on, condition of keeping their 1 arms, and not serving against them or their AMOS until regularly exchanged ; but who, when they ar- I riled at Cad's, were stripped of their arms, and detained as prisoners of war by the English, i eho have kept them ever since, "although,: at I the time of• the capitulation, not an English- ' man was present, nor had one set his foot u p on the Spanish soil in hostility to the French. One of the Ministerial Papers of this morning admits the in- I justice of the proceeding, by attempting" to. lay the' fault upon the Spaniards"; bat this is a way of excui- Fpation, in - behalf of the, British Ministers, which' ill accor d s w ith the hooeur either of England er Spain. The question is, where ore the e-s -thtis le—minieusly detained? Give pew A wa y the kaki from the by charge.—Would to GOD! that all the opposing wri- I tersotif4e two countries would act with equal ,• candour. i • , The embargo in the Swedish ports is continued on `,ill vessels of above 20 tons hart:hen, and the object Is said tv be, to convert the shipping into transpores; to accelerate the purposes of powerful expittlititip, I desti.ied from that country. We understand, that on - of Or :irst favourable circumstances expected to attend tills project, .is the, extrication of the kiug-' don of Denmark from the Influeiace of France, and the coalition of its. Sovereign with the other Powers of the North, to disappeiut the aeibitious designs of , the enemy. The utmost diligence, was em loved to accelt • Ate the departure of the trpop's that *rake be embarked from tire, Golf Of Findlai4, aud4rioes •, ports of Sweden, tire to i nct ht the reac,,of the French armies. Marshal Vino*, who commands the Reserve of NAPOLEON, has proceeded easterly, and new occupies the country between the Oder and the Vistula, to counteract the intentions of his new adversary. Notice was given on the Exchange at Gottenbargh, on the 31st, that all persons who had famished trans ports for the Expedition, were to have them supplied ti ith the necessary stores,, dsc, by a certain day.— Espedition, it wail suppeted, would sail about theseithile of August; but there was a difference of opinion auto its destination. But, from intelligeinat. received by the Lady Ninon packet, -which arriveill at Harwich yesterday from Anholt, it is said, that. , the grand Expedition preparing in Sweden will not be ready for some weeks. The fleet of merchant ships, consisting of near SOO sail, bound to Etig- . laud, loaded with the produce of the Baltic, have been obliged to return, to 'Wing°, being the seventh time, occasioned by lavers: weather and contrary winds. Yesterday the Board of Trade informed the Mer chants of Gondon'connected with the United States, that the Licences to American .vessels, protecting them against British cruisers, which were to expir.-, if the ships did not sail on or before the 15th Au gust, would be eolarged to the Ist of September next; and that on chewing sufficient ground for the delay, they might subsequently be extended fifteen days longer. This concession applies to the out-ports, as well as to the port of London. From Riga we learn, that the suburb, of the city had been prematurely burnt down, from the belief of the approach of IVl.tcnoNAl.ds army. Houses capa ble of containing 15,000 inftabitants were, on this occasion, consumed. Letters from that city repre sent the surprise of STRAW:ANT, on the left batik of the Dwiaa, as very complete. The French are stated to have lost 1000 prisoners, and to have had nine of their regiments !treatli , cut up. There were 50 French Officers killed, wounded, or taken. Yesterday being the PRINCE Recrses birth-day, a naval promotion took place on the occasion. It is Stated to consist of five Vice-Admirals to befall Ad tr'rals lA Rear-Admirals to be Vice-Admirals,•and -20 Captains to be Rear-Admirals. This promotion', lis accompanied-by another, •narnely, that of the 40 Senior Commanders new serving afloat to be Post Captains, and the ten Senior Lieetenatits actually' serving in first of line-of-battle ships to be' Com mailers.

POTATOES.—The potatee possesses two modes of securing its re-production, the one by prod wing to berons roots, the other by the general mode of flow ers and seed vessels. It has been ascertained by the ingenious President of the Horticultural Society, that , the plant employs the same fluid in both these ope. rations ; and by preventing the consumption of it in either one of these, it will, be made to act more strongly in the other. . Upon this 'principle, If a pc- • * tatoe plaid is carefully deprived of its tubers as soon as they are formed, it will be made infinitely more productive of blossoms-and seeds. On the other I . hand, if its blossoms are constantly picked off, and it is prevented from forming any seed at all, all the fluid which would have been employed in that opera tion will be exerted in forming an. increased crop of tubers. It is true; that the'men who have to attend to the manageinent of hundreds of acres, will hardly condescend to think of potatee blossoms ; but there are thousand ofrottagers, *hose scanty pittance may * increased by the simple expedient of employing tlOeir children in preventing their potatoe crop from area. fanning a seed vessei.
