They reached t',svn yesterday; and, we understand, have brought dis patches of great importance. The dispatches are said to contain a treaty of alliance between Austria, Russia, Prussia, Sweden, and Denmark.. In conformity with the stipulations of this Ticat!4 it is said Hi: Patissfss hl. Lir v is now on his march, at the head of !MM . men, against the French ; and the Emperor of Russia is also match ing, at the head of an army of 64,003, for the same destination.
