day with Dispatches from Mr. STEWART, the 136-
tish Charge d'Affaires at the Curt of St. Peters-
burgh. One of them left St. Petersburgh on
the , 13th, and the other on the 17th ult.
but the former having been detained by contrary
winds, they both arrived together. No account of
any battle had reached SuPetersburgh, but certain-
ly the report was very current at Elsineur. The
Captain of a Vessel, who arrived at Gottenburgh
from Elsineur, declared, upon oath, that when he
was at Stettin he saw 0 waggons full of wounded
Frenchmen arrive there. If the Battle were fought
in the neighbourhood of Posen, it is highly impro-
bable that the wounded would be brought to Stet-

tin.
- The report of ,an Armistice having been conduct;
ed between France and Prussia is in Circulation, and
we believe upon good authority. It is pOsitiVely stat-
ed that' the Terms of the Arrnistice, which are sign-
ed on the part of Prussia by M. Luomi MINI, are in
the Thirty-tird Bulletin, and that each of the, Cori,
tra6ting Parties may iecommence hostilities on giving
ten days notice.

Wa received this morning New York
.Papers to
the gth ult. but they are wholly destitute-of intelli-
gence: The Federal Republicans, as they term them-
selves, in New York, seem to have taken consider-
able alarm at what they con ider as the defenceless
state of that City, and have had several Meetings for
the purpose. of petitioning GovernMent to erectper-
manent Fortifications for the defence of that City.

Government, we are assured, is become so tho-
roughly convinced of the value of Falmouth har-
bour, from the security it. has afforded in the late
j.
storms to the Men of War and Transports,. which
have rode it out there. ,without straining a rope-yarn,
that it intends to extend the present naval depOt.;at
that port, and 'to add considerable new works tOthoSe
already formed.
The Royal .Cornish Miners. have, returned again to
Dover from Sandown Castle and Forts, adjacent,
in consequence of the.CoMmanding Engineer hav-
ing reported to the Secretary at War, and General
Sir GEORGE LUDLOW, Commander in Chief of the
SOuthern Distriet, the impossibility of competing
the subterraneous 'works of the heights without the
aid of this valuable Corps, which, it is thought, Go-
vernment intends making a perma'nentone..%
Do&or BEATTIE, who extraeted the mortal bail
from Lord NELSON, was last week at Falmouth.—
He had the. ball ,with him, mounted in an' elegant
case in the form of a, watch, which, suspended by
a watch-chain, he carries in his left lob.. He has„
refused a tho6sand guineas for this interesting re-
lia Mr. GEORGE AN DREW, of Falmouth, who was-
Clerk to Mr. SCOTT, Lord NELSON'S Secretary, had
the honour of supporting the dying nero in his arms
while the ball was extracted.
It appears by the account of a. seaman arrived at
Shields, who saw the Battle of Luheck, that a Corps
of Swedes got on board a British 'Vessel; planting
cannon upon her decks, which they played in a mas-
terly nianner upon the- French, before the latter en-
tered jhe town. The carnage was dreadful, and this
seanian after the Battle Waded mid-leg deep in blood,
in helping to remove the slain and woundLd near one
of the gates.. •
THE TIIiATRES.LOITfOr Love was represented
at Drury-lane Theatre on Saturday, and the charac-
ers. in general were well' supported. If ELLISTON
,was not sufficiently easy in the part of Va4etaine,
allowance should be made for an, aCtor of suelvver-
satile abilities. The Romance of ,Tekell
and was ' much applauded.—At Covent-G irden the
Comedy of jam Bull, as usual, 'excited many a
hearty laugh in the galleries. MARA again performed
the part of Dennis Brulgruciciay, nqt in such a
manner as to add much to Ltic.-311cce,s of the piece.
