THE SUN. 110LILM QUIS DICUS IA LIVIA LUDIAT LONDON, AUGUST r 7, 1803. , LAST night a third flamburgh Mail, that due on Sunday last, reached Town ; and yesterday Mr. FISHER, one of His Majesty's Messengers, arrived at Lordlinwrcesauay's Oillee with dispatches from St. Petersburgb,_ by the way of France. Letters received yesterday by the Mails from Hutunt,„ positively state, that the Emperor ALEX. ANDER had ordered some .Frenehmen to be arrested in his Dominion s, and sent, as Spies, to Siberia, ,and that likewise all remaining Frenchmen should depart the Russian territory. It was further stated, that the EMPEROR had given formal no. rice to the French Government, that .he could no longer be an indifferent spectator, if Neutral Territories were not inlmediately evacuated by the French Troops. Other Letters, we understand, and those of good authority, even give us reason to hope, that by the month of 06lober we shall have a Russian Squadron of Ten or Twelve Ships of the Line co-operating with' our Navy on the British Coasts. The Court of Sweden openly authorizes the ar. rival of our Packets at , Gottenbiergh, and the con vey:ice of our Mails through the Swedish Terri. tory. Denmark haOiclierto merely tolerated our landing them atn TAinningeit and Hums ; but there is reason to hope she will soon follow the manly cooduft of Sweden, and give a declared sanaion to the transmission of our Mails, in defiance of France. We are certainly led, from every thing we can learn, .to form very sanguine expeflations with roped to the future condo& of the Northern Powers.— It is their obvious interest to support this Coun try at the present moment, as the best means of curbing the ambition, and reducing within pro. per limits the overgrown power of France. We hope that at length those Powers have discerned their real interest,, and have resolved to pursue it. This morning arrived a Haprburgb Mad in course. It contains very little that is new, or of importance.• A Letter from Brueseh speaks of a Russian Mediation, but states that France had in. sisted on retaining possession of the Territories in Lower Saxony which are now occupied by French Troops, during any Convention of ArMistice to be concluded between' that Power and England ; to which ;his Country had refused to agree. An English Squadron has made its appearance in the Adriatic, ofi" Ancona. LOMB AR D, the Prussian Privy-Councillor who was with the First Consul at Brussels, has returned to Berlin; at which place PORTAL Pi s the French Seem clay of Legation, has also arrived, The Dm6/brAtiii/ of the 13th arrived this morn. ins.

JOHN PEALE, Esq. was.admitted into the Office of Secondary of the Poultry Compter, in the room of PH !LIP WYATT CROWTHER, Esq. deceased. Le Mercure de . France, a demi.official print, no doubt taking its cue .from the agents of the Cor. sican, treats the conquest of this country as a cer tain event, provided fifty thousand French troops 'Should make good their landing. The language used by i.e Mercure, on this occasion is so arrogant and flimsy, that we cannot help holding it'out to the contempt and derision - of our brave Volunteers. " If the public should wish," says the Mercure, 41 to know our opinion on this point, we would not hesitate to assert, incase fifty thousand French men efFeetVit'seent . upon England, that the \robin tecrs, the Militia, .the Troops of the Line, the Army of Reserve, and the Levy en Masse, shall not exist for three months without being conquered. The universe would be surprised at the facility with which all this idle machinery, embarrassed by its ow n movements, would be shaken and overthrovn. It would be astonished at the quickness with which the wh o le p e~t } ►le , passing on a sudden from the sen. cations of rage to those of gratitude, would find deliverers in those they had before considered as their enemies, and contraa with them an alliance . fiaintird the eterh.al basis of the liberties and rights of , '—We most cordially agree with the lifer_ Cure that both these events would, indeed, astonish the universe ! THE HAMBURG!! MAIL. BRUSSELS, AUG. 5. Tfi It hope of a successful issue to the Russian Mediation, notwithstanding its acceptance by the Mediating Powers, is not great. France insists on the liattitymo from the date , of a Convention for- an Armistice to be concluded, and consequently, while Englamil retains possession .of Malta, will.continue to occupy the territory arid parts of Lower Saxony , of which she has taken possession. -To this, how., ever, the Cabinet of St. James's has not yet com. sented. ITALY, JULY 26. THE report that an Adion had taken place be tween a Squadron from Toulon and the Fleet of Admiral NELSON, to the disadvantage of the former, is not confirmed. On the 17th, the C om m an d er MI SS Y arrived at Rome, as Cbargi d'Apirts of the Otder of Wm to the Holy See.
