Dispatches . were this morning received from
Lord WELLINGTON, dated the 14th. his Lord-
ship was then at Tordesillas.

'We have received from GottuThurgh some Rus-
sian Bnlletins ; the last of thenvis dated- the 11 th
July. They are plain unorva,nented a counts pf
the movements of the Russians, in conformity
with the plan adopted before t'le commencement
of the war. it appears that several..skirmikhes
have taken place, in which the French have suf-
fered severely.

The private letters froM St. Petersburgh an-
nounce the capture of the Pcince of Wnwrtm-
,
BERG, with 400 of his troops. The people were
full of confidence in the result of the war. The
voluntary contributions had gone on with great
liberality, and amorg others the following were
officially announced : 150,000 ducats, and a large
quantity of flour, from the Prince SUBOEM
three millions of rubles frdm the Countess Os-
SOFFI and from the imperial city of Moscow,
the noble and patriotic offering of an army of,
80,000 men, armed and equipped for the field.—
With this force, and this resolution, we have no
serious fear for the effect of the French attack ;
and can have little doubt, that, when the hour
of struggle fairly comes, it will be met gal-
lantly. In the mean time, we have no know-
ledge that any thing, except affairs of posts, had
occurred. The Russian force in the neighbour-
hood of Riga was concentrating, and the Governor
lyas making vigorous preparations for a siege, with
the assistance of the British Officers in the har-
bour ; but, to our latest intelligence, no corps of
the enemy had appeared in sufficient strength to
authenticate the report of a battle: The army
under MAcnortALD; according to the imperfect
accounts which had reached the town, was ad-
vancing towards Riga, and the Russians would
probably fight him before he formed the siege.—
The exchange at Petersburgh was at 16k.

Some of the letters brought by the last Anholt
Mail state, in very strong terms, that the Court of
Copenhagen is disposed to co-operate with the
Northern Powers in the efforts. which they are
making to resist BUONSPARTE'S gigantic schemes
of conquest. What degree of credit is due to this
statement we do not know ; but we know that the
cokweration of Denmark, unless it be imme-
diate, will be useless.
