This morning a Heligoland Mall'arri'ved: the
folio ving is the only article which ithrings:—

HZ;.I'COLAINTD, JULY 91—This week we havt had
an arrival from the coast, but received no news
worth mentioning, except th4t hostilities were
immediately expected to commence in the North,
and that a peace between Russia and Turkey was
considered as certain.

A report was circulated yesterday, upon the
authority of letters from the French coast, that
hostilities had commenced between the Rtissians
and French,- and that a great battle had been
fought, in which the former had been defeated,
with the loss of between 25 and 30,000 men.—
Nether- the place where this supposed battle was
fought, nor the date, are mentioned ; nor are
there any circumstances connected with this re-
port which induce us to give it credit. Letters
and Papers were yesterday received from the North
of BUrope, of a very recent date, which are per-
fectly-silent upon this subject ; besides it is not
likely that the Russian Generals would so soon
depart from the plan of defensive operation which
bad been laid down for their guidance, for the
purpose of risking a deesive action. - Upon
the whole, therefore, we do not think this
report is entitled to any credit. We are, however,
in hourly expectation of some news of importance
from the North, as there can be very little doubt
that hostilities have commenced before this time.
The last- accounts from Sweden are of a peen-
Early interesting nature. TiERNADOTTE; thefe
is every reason to believe, is about to Venter into
the contest against BUOIIAPARTE, with a degree of
earnestness and vigour proportioned to the
magnitude of the conflict. Whether he will
command hiS troops in person, or whether they
are to be led by the celebrated .11oRrAir, we do
not know : in either event, a Swedish army acting
in the rear of the French would greatly embarrass
Bua*ArmerE,_ and, in case he should meet with

.itirious
_reverses on the Russian frontiers,
. ,- • •
"ivotilrl greatly endanger tiffs safety. We mention
•ed some days ago, that MoagAu was expected in
Sweden ;. the letters received yesterchiy, state that
•
he bad actually arrived there, inconsequence of the
invitation of BERNADOTTE, by whoM he had ben
received in the most cordial manner. Some of
the letters state, that he is about to proceed to
Russia, and take a command in the Russian
Army ; others state, that he is We command the
Swedes. Another very celebrated General has ar-
rived in Sweden; viz. General BLUCHER. Iris
residence in the Prussian Dominions, now
that they are in the possession .of the French,
could neither have been very agreeable nor very
safe ; we hope his talents will not remain unem-
ployed during this ait-d.uous contest. The last let-
ters from Berlin state, that BUONAPARTE had re-
viewed an army of 100,000 men on the plains of
Friedland, on the 14th ult. : the whole of the French
aamy now on the frontiers of Russia is stated to
amount to 140,000 men. The Generals whom Buo-
NAPARTE has selected to assistlim are; DAVOUST,
MACDONALp, MORTISE, and MURAT. MASSENA
is not employed ; he has been in disgrace ever
since Lord WELLINGTON drove him out of Portu-
gal : he is.now in a kind of exile at Baines.. It
is singular that scarcely any of the Marshals that
were employed by BUONAPARTE in the former war
against the Russians, are employed upon the pre-
sent occasion- MASSENA, NEv, and LEFEBRE; had
the chief -commands in the campaign of 1807.—
With respect to the amount of the Russian army,
it is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain any pre-
cise accounts ; but though we cannot speak cor-
rectly as to its numbers,• we can state, on\yery
good authority, that the general construction of
that army -is very much improved. That most
important branch of the . military service, the
Commissariat, is put entirely upon a new foot-
ing, and the Russian army will no longer
be exposed to the privations and distresses which
it experienced for want of provisions in the winter
of 1806 and 7. The Russians have begun to
rct upon their defensive system. The produce on
the frontiers of Lithuania, -in several situations,
has been destroyed, so that the enemy, if he ad-
vance,
must lie encumbered with all the necessary
means for his subsistence. Other precantii3ns
bare been resorted to in Courland, and the grain,
and ellects of the like description, which were dc-
()sited at Liebau and Riga, have been removed

to Perttore in Livonia, to place them beyontl.the
reach of the invaders,

Some of the letters from. Portugal brought by
the Marlborough packet, state, that JOSEPH Buo-
NAPARTE had left Madrid, and had returned to
France. We can easily believe that JOSEPH would
not find himself very comfortable in Madrid, and
we-believe the time is rapidly approaching When
his Catholic Majesty will *be equally insecure
in every part of his Spanish Dominions.—
It is supposed- that it is the intention a Lord
WELLINGTON to push on, in conjunction with
the Gallician division from Benevente, to se-
cure the great pass into France by the Western
Pyrennces and Bayonne; and Sir HOME Por-
HAM is very opportunely clearing the French posts
on the coasts," AsturiaS and Biscay, and
thus opening n communication with the hardy Gue-
rillas in that quarter, who will then co-operate
with his Lordship: Private accounts from Sir
liomE's squadron, speak in admiration of the i*-
trepidity of the Guerillas in that quarter. It
is also understood, that the 6000 troops which
were 'embarked two Months ago under General
MAITLAND in Sicily, svere destined for (and have
arrived by this time in) Catalonia, to co-operate
with the Catalans, who have for some time past
been masters of the passage of the Eastern Pyren-
nees, and to secure more completely that pass also.

The Party Writers are, as may naturally be
supposed, very angry with Ministers for the mea-
sures which they propose to adopt with respect to
the disturbed Counties. Before, the Report, of
the Secret Committee was made, they endeavour-
ed to excite alarm by saying, that Ministers were
about to violate the - Constitution, to suspend
the Habeas, Corpus Act, to proclaim Martial Law,
&c. and yet,. now that the most mild and lenient
measures that could have }peen devised, have
been resorted to, they are equally clamorous.=
That Mr. WILBEEroacE should be selected by
them as an object of abuse is by. no means stir-
prizing. No -man, however eminent for his ta-
lents, or estimable for his moral qualities, can es-
cape the scurrilous invectives.of the Party, unless
he enlists himself under its banners. But
Mr. 'WILBERFORCE has committed anoiber offence;
he has stated that the passions of the people
have been excited by speeches and
writings, and therefore it is thought decent .to
sneer at him about canting teachers and preachers,
because he his known to be a religious man: ' It is
worthy of notice, that the Roman Catholic reli-
gion is the only one that finds favour, or even
toleration, from the writers of the Party. They
are loud in their praises of. the piety, ,sincerity,
&c. &c. of the Roman Catholics, but if a Protes-
tant ventures to express his attachment to his re-
ligion, be is instantly 'accused of canting. and
hypocrisy.
But to revert to our subject; we should be glad
to ask, whether the disorders which have prevailed
in different parts of the country do not require a
prompt and an effectual remedy, and if they do,
whether any one can Ile suggested that trenches
less upon the Constitution than .the one pro-
posed ?—A great deal of silly declamation has
been used about violating an,Englishtnan's castle,
and taking- his arms frOin him. It is true, the Bill
does require the delivery of arms, but under what
circumstances ? it has been found that the rioters are
systematically engaged attacking private houses
for the purpose of collecting arms, to be em-
ployed for purposes equally inconsistent with
the safety of individuals, and the tranquility of
the,State, an'd the only qutsistion is, whether :they
should be allowed to take these arms, ar whether
they should he deposited in a place of safety.

WINDSOR, JULY 12.—The KIN 's state has va-
ried very little within these few days : he occa,
sionally has'a little. increase of fever. Yesterday
afternoon the Princess of WALES arrived,at the,
Lower Lodge, on a visit to the Princesi CHAR-
LOTTE, remained there about four hours, and then
left Windsor for Kensington.. In , the evening,
the. Princess CHARLOTTE drove her four beautiful
ponies for two hours, accompanied by Lady DE,
CLIFFORD. This morning Princess CHARLOTTE
Attended divine service at St. GrorL,re's Chapel,
and heard a sermon by Dr. HEATH. The QUEEN
and Princesses heard divine service in the Castle.

Yesterday Divine Service was performed at
Carlton-house, before his Royal Highness the
PRINCE REGENT and the Household, by the Rev.
F. W. 13LomuEao and the Rev. S.,CLARKE.
Yesterday the LORD CHANCELLOR had an au-
dience of the Pangce REGENT, at Carlton-house.
Yesterday at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council
was held at the Foreign Office, which sat till near
five.

The two French officers, Philipon and Garnier,
have certainly efTgcted their escape. Two persons'
of the names of Chalklin and Wenman , who arc
supposed to have aided and assisted them; were
apprehended ,on Tuesday night at Charing, on
ther return from the coast. Chalklin effected his
escape in the course of the night, and Wenman
was taken before a magistrate in the neighbour-
hood the next morning, but liberated for want of
proof of his connection with the officers, after
having been fined 51. for travelling in a cart with- ,
out his naive and place of abode written thereon.
