at• at Willis. It is entirely silent as to the rumour
lately in circulation respecting a skirmish between the
Trench and Russian troops. That statement, there•
fore, may be regarded as unfounded. The march of
the enemy's troops towards the Vistula is, however,

Packet which brought over the Mail, has not con•
veyed any Messenger from Sweden to our Govern-
ment.

By a vessel from Gihra'tar we have letters and pa.
pers to the 10th ult. which set us right as to some
misstatements regarding the late desperate conflict off
Malaga. The whole of the ships intended to have
been cut out of the harbour, was in number 15 or
16, about three of which only were borue away dur.
big this hazardous experiment. It seems, that all
the batteries were not taken, and the guns spiked as
