The Court of Russia has accepted the mediation offered by our Court, and, in support of the same, ordered two armies to approads the Austrian fron tiers. Great quantities of artillery are continually going from hence for Italy. After to-morrnw, nur at my will be on the war footing. Several court-etuipages hate set not for 'Was, and the Geld-equipage of the Archduke Clarks is completely ready. SEPT. 4. Yesterday. the following notice to the army was given out in General Orders His Majesty the Empercx and King has appointed Field-Marshal- Leutenant Baron Mack, Quartyr-Master-General to the army. He has conferred the command of the armies of Italy and Tyrol, on Their Royal High nesses the Archdukes Charles and John. General Zath is appointed Quarter-Macter-Gener,sl to that army. The command of the army of the Voral berg, is given to the Archduke Ferdinand, Who have General Meyer for his Quarter -Master- General. General Poiffi;n!--,erg command the army in the Western Tyrol." General Mack set out in the night of the 31st of August. We are assured, that His Royal l lighness the Archduke will set out for the army about the end of this week, or the beginning of next. His Majesty the Emperor will repair to the army of Upper Austria, and set out next week for Weis. On the 10th of this month there will be a new levy of recruits. ST. PETIERSIURGH, AUO. 28. The preparations for war still continue without intermission. All the regiments which were in this city, have marched away. The Emperor, it is said, will go to-morrow, or the next day, to the army. The head-quarters will be at Wi lna. Foreign meichant-slsips which arrive here, are daily hired for the service of Government. Troops will, likewise, be embarked at Revel. FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, SEPT. 2. The General, Prince Bangiation, and de Winzin grrode have set out for the army. The latter has carried to the General in Chief, Kutusoff, orders to enter Austrian Poland, which he has executed at the head of 80,000 men. The Emperor will set out on the 25th of Septem ber, for the army which is assembling at Wllna.

By virruc of an order from His Majesty, 100,000 men have received diretti.ms to hold themselves in readiness to match. The d.ty before yesterday, a Grand Council of State was held, at which an the Ministers and princi pal Generals were present. Surne days before, Cou riers had been sent off to St. Petersburgh and Vicuna, with dispatches, relative to the present sitnalion of affairs. The Minister of State, Count Ilaugwiti, has ar rived in this city ; it is Imbued that he will go to Paris. swssiA, seer. C. The answer of France to the Note transmitted by Count Cobentzel, on the 6th of August, is circulated Etre. It positively refaces :o accept the mediation of Austria, and says, that the Emperor of the French C. ,,0t accept the good offices of His Imperial and A ~s tr, i.'s c Majesty, because his mediation presents slimy diflie. , lties. It appears Cos-;he prnjea of neutrality, the plan or which had been cmic.::!ei at S:utgardt, between four Fletctoral Courts, tinilnz;anately cannot take place ; France requires of the ElNl,,rs of Wirtem berg and Baden, the execution of the secret articles of the 7th and 2511 of August, 1796, by which it is stipulated. that every French army which shall pass LONDON, TUESDAY, SirTeusea 24. At a late hour last night we received Dutch Papers to tae I 9th, and Patis Journals to the 1 Sth in,tant, but they contain no news of any import• ante. We announced yesterday the arrival of the Ham burgh Mails due on Sunday se'nnight and Wed nesday last. Their contents are of considerable importance. The Staff of the Austrian Army has been finally arranged. General Orders were pub lished at Vienna on the 3.1, in which it is stated. that the EMPEROR had conferred the command of the Armies of Italy and the Tyrol, upon the Arch dukes CM A R LES and dons; ; of the Army of the Voralberg, upon the Archduke Feenss•siso ; and, of the Army of the Western Tyrol, upon Ge neral AurreNarea. The troops lately in garri san in Saint Petersburgh, had all marched away from that city on the 28:h last, and the Einem:se was expetted to *loin the army on the 29th, at head quarters at Wilna. The report, however, that any of the Russian troops had passed their own territo ries, has been contradined by kttrrs of the 31st, from Vienna. The first division of the French Army of the Cost, amounting to 30,000 men, passed through Mons on the 3d instant. The Army of the Rhine is to be commanded by Birs•e Aare in person. The note of warlike preparations also begins to be heard in Prussia. A letter horn Berlin, of the 10th instant, states, that His PRUSSIAN MAJEIEY has given orders for one hundred thousand men to hold themselves in readiness to march. Bors A AAAA has declined the m.:diation of Austria, as proposed in the Note delivered by Count Coat NTZEL, on the 6th last; and the attempt of some of the German States, to preserve their neutrality,has been defeated, by the extravagant demands of Bon tearrt. We were the first to mention the report of an in tended dissolution of Parliament. It has been since frequently repeated by our contemporaries. Some of them, specdating upon the recent, visit of Mi nisters to Weymouth, assert, with increased confi dence, that the meeting was for the purpose of holdin; a Council for taking this measure into con sideration. Saturday was the day on which the Council was expelled to take place. Our %Vey mouth letter of that date is, however, silent upon '. e subjeCt, and nai.ha of Cie Council Clinks were there. The presumption, thetefore, is, that no formal Council was held ; but it does not follow that some measure may not have been adopted, upon %%Inch it has been thought advisable to have the advice and opinion of the Mini drys who attended. It is the general opinion, founded upon recent evei.ts, that the Minister would not add to his strength by a new eleetion ; and some thence suppose, that the rumotEed dissolution of Par liament is only a threat to frighten the Ao co pint ON party into an accommodation, .s they would not, probably, muster so strong in a new Parliament. It is certain, however, that the public business cannot be conducted to the advan- tage of the country, and the satisfaCtion of the Mi nister, unless he can reckon upon a majority. The system, therefore, cannot go on in the way in which it left off last Session. We yesterday gave the substance of a Bulletin, issued from the Admiralty on Sunday, statiny, that Admiral Cou.inowoon was left MI Cadiz, on the 28:h last, blockading the Combined Fleet, in that port, with 8 sail of the line; and that Capt. Kira., of the Endymion frigate, had, on the night of the 29th, passed a fleet, supposed to be that of Sir lir rilliT CALDER, on its way to join Admiral COL- L,MGIV on. His MAJESTY'S armed schooner, Para /won, arrived on Thursday, at Falmouth, with a Mail and Dispatches in ten days from Lisbon.—. The dispatches and letters reached town yesterday morning ; and, shotily after their arrival, another Bulletin from the Admiralty, of which the follow. ing is a copy, was sent to the Masters at Li.ovn's : " Sept. 14, 11109. " The Lishoti Convoi t under protection of His NV:jetty% ship I'oul Ate, and Malabia: armed transrrt, was to sail in forty eight hours atter the Itariniatta, which brings this 1/4.701111t, and understood to have left the Tagiis at the Bth inst. The convoy eshosi,ts of 23 sail. There is reason to believe that the juin - non of His Majeites Svadtuns behre Cadiz. took 1.1.14 e oil th. 29th or 30th ult. and that the enemy's feet was st.II in port." It appear; from this notice, that no positive account has been yet received of the junFti!•n of Admirals COI.I.IIIGWOOD and Cat.nt a. That such an event has taken place, scarcely admits, however, a doubt. Letters from Lisbon, brought by the Paremotor state, that the Combined Fleet in Cadiz are in the greatest distress for want of stores and provisions. Bread they have none; nor is there any to be pro cured at Cadiz, where the greatest scarcity prevails, even among the inhabitants. The British fleet, in the mean time, so strialj blockades the port, that no supplies can eater from the sea. Sir SIDNEY Smiril attended yesterday afternoon at Lord CVITLIEREAMI'S Office, ani afterwards bad an interview with Lord BARHAM at the Admiralty, upon wnich occasion, it i., stippow,l, hr received hi., final instroatons, prop.iratory to his set:ing out to join Lora Net. SON. It is reported, that Lord BaTtitaM is to be snc ceeded at the Admiralty by Mr. You Kr.. We do not think this a very probable sreculation. The Gray/it - no, l'aows€,frum London, for Malta, was captured 'and burned on the IlSth of August, by the Combined Fleet. The Lady Nebo's, fmm Virginia, for Greenock, is captured by the Prince of Pence.

The Rattler sloop of war, put into Kinsale on the 12th, to repair, having been run foul of by one of the convoy bound to Newfoundland, which sailed from Portsmouth on the 21st August. The Irthein, H A t.e, from Rotter4am, for Liver pool, is arrived in the Downs, after being on the Goodwin Sands ; she was gut off by Use L)eal boats. Extral of a Letter from Oporto, dated August 30, 1805 :—" For some days past, a stout lugger, in company with two or three Spanish row-boats, have been cruising about the bar and on the coast, and plundered several neutral vessels. The coast is now entirely unproteled, and we may expel that few vessels will escape them, particularly those expelled from Ncwtoutsdland." The Formidable is ordered to be prepared for the reception of Admiral Duckwoarn s flag. The Endeavor, arrived at Scilly nu the !HI instant, in seventeen hours, from the fleet off Brest, I consisting of twenty sail of the line. The Captain reports, that a French squadron, consisting of five sail of the line, was cruising off the Penmarks, and that Admiral COll NW A Li.ls had detached five sail of the line to cr uise for them, but no account was heard from them when he left the Beet on Sunday (the 15th) at nine o'clock at night. Admiral Bic cervix is Arrived at Portsmouth, from Gibraltar, in La Decade frigate. Admiral MONT AOU returned to Portsmouth to his command, on Friday night; and Sir ISAAC Corwin resumed the command of the ships in the harbour. Five waggons, laden with specie, arrived at Ports mouth, on Saturday morning, from London ; several others arrived in the course of the week. Four hundred thousand pounds, in dollars, have been put on board the Thalia frigate, Capt. H'Ai.tteu, which is under orders to proceed with the money to Ben gal, on account of' the East India Company. One hundred and ninety-seven thousand pounds, in dol lars, for Malta, which were embarked on board the ilclpmerne frigate, have been removed to the Ronal Sortreirn, of 100 guns, Capt. Comte.
