Au armistice, fur an unlimited time., has liven concluded between the Swedes rod Russians in the North of Finland. It was signed on the 29th last, and appears to have been produced by the recent mews of the Swedish arms. The king of Sweats is so dis pleased with his Guards, that lie broke them, and disgraced ell the Officers. Although the terms of the armistice are limited to the North of (inland, we may presuine that it will be extended to the whole of that province, and that hostilities will soon cease, both by sea and And, between Sweden and Muria. Im this event we may antici pate our immediate exclusion from the Baltic, Such is the prosperous result to which Minister, hare conducted the war in that (wailer.

Upou their pirisal at the Foreign (Mier!, on Friday night, they were conducted to the House of Mr. Bar, the Private Secretary of Mr. CANNING, where they were entertained with a sumptuous supper, provided in consequence of in telligence of their' arrival, ►eceived by Mr. C•x stsc in the morning, by a telegraphic dispatch from the Port Admiral at Deal. The Frenchman, although only a cominoa Courier, was abundantly supplied with money, and ',aid all the expenses on the road, not only incurred br himself, but by his Rassian companion, an Ofhem. of rank in the army. General KELLEILM 1,4, whose arrival at Ports mouth, in the ..tfricaiiie frigate, from Lisbon, we mentioned yesterday . , remains on hoard that vessel at Spitlsesid. The cause of his visit to this country is varionsly accounted for; but we imilerstattO, from THE GLOBE e: * yesterday, that he was anxi ous to lie landed at Calais, ■nd that Sir CffARLES CorroN, yielding to his request, sent him to Eng lund for that purpose. Hie ob j ect in wishing to he lauded at Calais, rather than iu the west of France, in conformity with the termer the Conven t.'..., we do not profess to know. He may probably wish to join UoNAPAwT6 at Erfurth, with all pus sible expedition. Ile can give his Master the latest and best, and, no doubt, very useful respecting Portugal and the state of the British army. Gen. MOORE. as we stated yesterday, had, at the departure of the Jfriorive, tointuented his march, with his whole army, fur Spain. It cannot read, the seat of war until the beginning of De•ceualrer; while the first division ofJUNOT'IS force may be at this moment within a few days march of the French army in Spain ; and yet Ministers have boasted that the Convention of Cintru would im mediately enable a large British force to assist our Spanish allies, while it wool,' remove Je noes force from the theatre of war. We had' been long taught by Ministers to expect, that SirJoits Nlooat's army would have betm sent by sea, and assured by sill their journals, upon au thority, that there were transports in the 'raga*, sufficient for the conveyance of , 22,000 troops, for that purpose.—They now say, that such was their iiiteation, but that the weather was so very tempestuous, it was thought more• advisable to march overland. The weather, and the sea, and the surf, we find, are to blame in all eases, whether it los a Convent:y.l of Chant, or an expe.litian to Spain. The more accurately we conrider,the relative position, numbers, and movements of the different Armies, French and Spanish, opposed to each ~titer at this moment, the more strongly are we LA to auticipate some great, speedy, and most de cisive result. It is, indeed, impossible to form any other inference from an inspection of the list ac count. tranowsitted from the scene of action. If we may give implicit belief to those statements, Nay, after re-occupyiag L'iibou with a portion of his force, appears to have, iu some measure, about do,ied the line or course of the Ebro, iu order to assume a new position. In the first days of the present mouth, Instead of extending himself along the Banks of that River, as Bassteees hail done, from Miranda, in a south-east direction, down to Logrono, Lmtosa, and l'alanorm, he seems to has, pltogetlier turned his front another way. While the extreusity of his right wing rested on Bilbua, his left was placed at Bribisen, in Old Castile, space of full seventy miles. Orduoun and Vit toria, two cousiderable places, intermediutely situ ated, were likewise occupied by the French, who might thus be said to intersect and to command every road leading from iinyoune to Burgos and Madrid. BLAKE, on the other band, had ilniwii up his forces opposite to the French, from Valina milli, in the vicinity of Bilboa, on the road to St. Ander°, quite to the village of &naiveties, only ii few leagues from Burgos. It is evideut, from these preinises,that Biscay and Alive constituted the prin cipal theatre of war. But Navarre offers other ob jects of hope and of speculatiosi, not less interesting. There, indeed, we are strongly led to believe, events will take place of a very important naturv. PALATOK, pushing along the raster., borders of that province, with a view to render himself master of the defiles that conduct to St. Sebastian and to Bayonne, menaces the rear of the French army. Ii se Isiah' suppose that he had advanced, as some letters report, to Vera, situate new the little river Itelmorui, winch divides France from Spain, and only a few miles distant from Fontaralna, lie might intercept and interrupt all communication from Bayonne to Balms and Vittoria ; thus plaein;; NET in the most dangerous predicament. IN every case, the existence of any corps of Spaniards to the North must be considered as a strong pro..f that they are able to molest the enemy in the most sensible and vulnerable quarter. A, e:reurustance highly encouraging is, that the Si it niih Commanders trent disposed, as in La Shui chi', when opposed to Demi sr, rather to harass, and to surround, them to attack the Frauds. Such a plan of operation, which is analogous to the nati onal character, slow, cautious, and temperate, can tint lint prove most injurious to the armies of Bo rAusr..
