The intelligence brought by this vessel from the French and Russian armies is not of a recent date. A report, indeed, s had reached Heligoland, that a battle had been fought between thg Russians and the . Freneh, *liich the former had' lost 60,000 men and the latter 30,000 ! No dates or other' particulars are men tioned, we are not, therEfor6, inclined to pay any attention to this rumour. We are glad to learn that the Swetlish Expedition is ready, and is ex pected to sail on the 15th inst. Government, we understand, 'have - received ac counts from Sweden, which state, that the Treaty of Peace between Russia and the Porte has been ratified: We shall rejoice, most sincerely, to have it in our power to confirm this gratifying, piece of intelligence. This morning a Mail from Gottenburgh arrived. The following.are the priocipal articles it brings : GorrgssuaGH, At;G. 4.—Peace between Eng land and Sweden- is to be proclaimed throughout all Sweden on,Sunday next, and the ports will be declared, open on the 15th inst. A body of Cossacks have complete!..y cut to pieces a Polish regiment. The Fiench have lost an. immense number of_ _ . . • , - ...• - - • • bOrSCs f..:om the badness of the weather, and great scarcity of food ; they have experienced the most - , • . incessant rains that were ever remembered. A number of English bonah-vessels and other ships of war, have passed by for the Baltic. ELSINEUR, JULY 24,--On the 17th and 18th inst. we had fine summer' weather, but since then the weather has been very variable, with rtin, wind, cold, and thunder. We have not for several years had such heavy thun der, and such a fall of rain as yesterday. The lightning struck down in several places ; four trees 'were split in Dahisborg Garden ; and a wa ter-spout destroyed a small house in Borup field. The Dog-days have commenced with more cold than warmth. It was so cold yesterday, that we should have thought it was four months back. The price of corn still continues enormously high ; a loaf of rye bread which weighs 71:, lb. coati 2 rix-dollars (Ss. sterling at par ) Letters have been rece;ved from Admiral MAR TI:7, at Riga, whickstate, that notwithstanding all the efforts of the French made to cut off Prince BAG -RATION, he had effected his junction with the ).7.lain army. They also state, ire understand, that DAVOUST, in an attack upon BAGRATION'S 'Corps, Efti nine ba.ttaliOns nearly cut to pieces, and lost prinone:s: one thousand men, and fifty Officer. An opinion seemed to be entertained, that the Russians would wait the attack of the . French at Witepsk. Bo . th armies are now. concentrated, and amount to about,2oo,o6o.each. Although we .are. still uhable to ley before our IT:teicrs any official:detailS respecting the battle near Salamanca, we have it in our power to state some additional, circumstances which tend to re r . move every doubt that might exist rez:pe: tug the fact of the Victory. Dispatches—were yesterday received from Sir HumE Porn A n ., dated the 4th These dispatches do not coßtain any instant. additip.nal particulate fe . spectiug the battle of the 22i1; but they . - speak of it as an event perfe.ctly .welt known, and enumerate some of the important advantages that must result from the vlctory. But what, in our opinion, is a decisive proof that the French have been completely defeated, is that they have evacuated St. Andero—a place - , the posses sion of which was of very great importance to them, and where they had a force of 4000 men. They evacuate it on the . 3d inst. and took the road _to Santona, in, the direction of Vittoria. The wiluntary,abandonment of this town, after they had successfully resisted every, attempt to drive them -out of .it, affords, in our opinion, a decisive proof that the French must have sus tained some serious disaster. The Licenses granted for the protection of ships ly.:longing to the United States of America, which revived their clearing out before the 15th of this month, till he e:Aended to the Ist of September zest and if it shall happen that good; no't oa hand shall - ntot then btu ready to be shipped, ,on a statement of such fact, by the nierchailt or mann filthfru, the said Licenses will be further extended to the 15th of September.—Tbe above indulgence is in both cases to be limited td ships which are now protected by Licenses. • Just:before thiS Paper was put to press we re ceived the following gratifying • intelligence, brought by another Goitenburgli MAI :- 0N r. p. Gottenburgh Mail has just arrived. RIGA, JULY ..18.—Peace • has at length been ratified between Russia and Turkey. Russian Head-quarters, July 24."

Yesterday the Princess' CHARLOTTE of WALES went to Blackheath, to pay her respects to her Grandmother, the Duchess. of BriuNsvviCri, it be ing he,. birth day. Her Royal Highness returned here in the evening. His Royal Highness the PRINCE RE ;ENT will, in his approaching tour, isit Ragley. Hall, the seat of the Marquis of llEr.TFotip, and also Cholniondeley Castle in Che4hire. • On Monday the Earl and Countess COWPER left town for Cheltenham. Earl GROSVENOR was yesterday expected at his seat at Eaton 1-1411, Cheshire, from London. THE EARL OF YARMOUTH'S BALL AND SUPPER. This Fashionable Fete was given on Tuesday night ; it.was attended with all the eclat usual at such entertainments'. In the entrance-ball - a mi litary bind of Music was stationed in the early part of the evening; but when the dancing com menced,• it was removed. into the temporary gal levy •we before mentioned.. The dining parlour was appropriateel for country-dances, and the draWing,rooms for waltzes. and French figure movements. The house was more brilliantly than tastefully illuminated: there were an abundance' of patent larnpS, burning oil, which exhaled a feetid smell. .The bow or circular room at the south-western angle of the house, was very pret tily fitted up as a Turkish tent, with stripes of blue and white muslin, lehninating as a cone next the cieling ; and the windows being remoied, it had all the appearance of the eastern style of de coration. A temporary gallery was erected at the extremity of the garden, and formed an extensive building, communicating witty Lord YARMOUTH'S and Mr. WARD'S houses by a fanciful kind of stair -ease. The interior of this promenade was illu minated by variegated lamps, finishing with a view of the Prince's feathers, G. N. It. tie British star, radiant arches, and festoons. The dancing commenced at eleven o'clock, when: about twenty couple went down. Waltzing commenced about one o'clock. The heat became oppressive about two o'clock, when all who were not otherwise occupied, flew to the cool retreat of the temporary room ; it having no other canopy than a thin coating of oil-cloth. Although from nine till three o'clock, at least a dozen persons were constantly occupied in giving out refreshments of fruit, cakes, ices, lemonade, &c. yet . the impatience of the visitants became ungovern able, . long before the time prescribed for. the arrangement of the regular banquet ; and it is a fact, that the -Dukes of CLxRENC and CAMBRIDGEsupped at a table, having ern it neither cloth nor napkin. There was a pro fusion of gold and silver plate used ; and the Por celain china met the" eye in every shape, and iti every corner., The supper was excellent. .Among the couples were — Duke of Devot:ishire • Lidy Charlotte Cholrhotidelev. Lord Palmerstone Countess Lord Charles Bentineli Ltdy Ann 'Twee. • 1 Lord A. Hill Lady Charlotte Scott. Colonel Uptoa Ludy M. Batlitlr6t. • ' .Cap;ain ritzolarence Miss .'Montague. . Ile spirit of the scene did not dissipate until six ,o'clock ; at seven there was a breakiast, but ere the first peal of bells (eight. o'clock) anL ;Jounced the PitlNCi; REGENT'iii festival hiving begun, the convany had wholly departed. there were present several foreigners of illustrious dis tinction, and / among then the Sicilian Prince PETRULLA, accompanied by Count ST.

The expedition, it wat supposed, would tail about the middle of August;, but there was a difference of opinion as to its.destinatiOn. The following passage is extracted froM the Gazette de France:--" In our last publication we accused Lord YARVUTII of having violated his parole of honour. In that we have been guilty of a gross error. Lord Y.ARMOUTFi, after,having quitted France upon his parole, and returned with Lord L.kuneanii,e, whom we have seen in Paris, obtained his release in order to return L:!adon.
