GOTTENBURG, JULY N.

Upwards of four-and-twenty English Captains of
merchantmen, haVe arrived here within the last Week
from Copenhagen ; they have been released from
prison in consequence of an exchange of prisoners,
brought about by Admiral Sir James Saumarez, who
sent home in a cartel all the Danish prisoners from
hence, that were taken in the Prince Christian, a 74
gun-ship, last winter ; these Captains say, that the
tone of the Danes is much altered towards the Eng-
lish) whom they praise highly fcr he good treatment
they received. They report that throughout Holstein
She Fregeh have taken down from the Post.hof s_u, and
other.pkges, all marks of Danish Royalty, and nilsti-
tuted those of the Emperor Napoleon. This conduct has
given great offence to the Danish Government, and
with reason, as Holstein may now be considered s
lost to Denmark.

The news from Norway possesses but little interest,
as the war there on the part of Sweden is become
merely a defensive one.

The Norwegians have, during the campaign, got
acquainted with their weak points, and fortified them-
selves accordingly.
From Finland we have no news today, but there'
is a report that the Russians are in possession of Wasa,
and that they gave up the town to plunder for two
days.
FRANKFORT ON THE MAINE, JULY 4.

According to the last letters from Rome, his Holi.
ness was on the point of taking his departure for

Turin.

In all the Russian dominions, a national guard .is
to be formed on the same footing as in France. It is
also reported that. a close alliance is to be concluded
between Austria ant' Russia.

Ft cm France we learn, that the Minister for colo.
Dial affairs has sent an order to the Board of Trade,
at Bourdeaux, that every ship or vessel bound for the
Colonies, shall take 30 or 50 soldiers on board, till
10,000 men shall have been conveyed in this mamter
to the West Indies.

The. Coact Gazette of to-day contains the following
article TUrkey
.
" The Armistice between Russia and the Porte
still continues, but nevertheless, orders have been sent
to all the Governors on the frontiers, not to disconti-
nue the warlike preparations, but to carry them on
with increased vigour. All the places on the /Egean
lonian, and Adriatic coasts, are reinforced. The
head-quarters of the Grand Vizier have been removed
from Adrianople to Sophia, but the Prophet's stan-
dard remains as yet on the former place. Numerous
ForPs. ha.ve already Fooled the Hellespont, on their
way from Natolia to the army. The Governors of
Salonichi, Chasren, Mehtned pcha, and the well
known Qovernor of Sere:, Ismael Bey, have also
received orders to advance with their trdops; the first
against the SetTian In rgeets, who still obstinately
:eject all the proposals which have been Made them
b/ the fOA me Porte, and continue to act in an hos-
tilemanner: In Egypt every thing remains as yet

The MAztmu. gun-brig; by which the dispatches
from The,
ARTHUR WELLESLEY were received, brought
no news from Ferrol of a later date than had been be-
for.: received. We have however to state one important
fact from Corunna, the port whence the dispatches
H ere brought from Sir ARTHUR. When that gallant
tri Commander had landed there, he offered to the Pa-
*ots to land his troops to co-operate with them if his
aid was wanted. The Spanish Commanders expressed
great'gratitude—lndeed their hearts were so full that
they could not find terms to express their feelings a
this proof of the interest which free-born Britons take
in their cause. They told Sir ARTHUR, that most
happily for that part of the country, they were in
'Such force as to need no assistance in men ; but added,
that more to the Southward they were certain his aid
would be productive of most important advantages,
and stated that the greatest favour he could confer on
thew would be by assisting their countrymen, armed
in the same cause and who might be less in a con-
dition to repel the attacks of their merciless enemies.
It was understood at Corunna as a positive fact, and
believed as certain, that General CuzsrA had ulti-
mately succeeded against the French, and had killed
between 6 and 7,000, in the various conflicts in which
The had been engaged with them.
A Gentleman who left Bilboa on the 14th last,,
reached town yesterday, who confirms die accounts
of the French having been defeated on the 1511 ult.
and again on the 2d inst. at Saragossa, The particulars
he states agree in Substance with the details that have
I already been laid before our Readers in General PAL.
LAFOX'S Address, and the Saragossa Gazette Extra-
ordinary. But he adds that another battle was fought
there on the sth instant, in which the French were
equally unsuecessful. On all of these occasions the
women vied with the men in patriotism and contempt
of danger. Regardless of the enemy's fire, they
mingled with the ranks in the heat of the battle, dis-,
tributing wine and refreshments to the wounded and
exhausted warriors, and contributed not a little to the
success of the result, by the ardour with which their
courage animated the troops.
On the 12th inst. intelligence was received at

MD.

Spain, brought by his Majesty's ship Eunvolcr., Cap
Lain BRADiIIAW, which arrived at Plymouth on Thurs.
day, alter a short voyage of three days, from St. An-
dero. The contents of these dispatches had not trans-
pired when this Paper was put to press, but it was
understood they were favourable and important.
