A mail from Gottenburg arrived this
morning. The only article it has brought
is the following; but, the report of an acti
on between the British and Russian feet is,
we understand, unfoundet.
GoTTENBURGH, Aug. 10.
General Armfeldt did not resign the
command OF the western army to Gene
raj Cederstrom, as was first reported.
Private letters of to-day's post from
Stockholm report, that the Russian fleet
which appeared off Oldensholm on the 9th
August, was met on the 10th, by an English
fleet and totally put to the route. This APP
pears rather incredible, as we cannot con
ceivc that sufficient number of ships for the
purpose could have been SO high up in the
Baltic at that time"
The Brest fleet is said to have put to sea
again. The postscript to a letter from an
Officer OF the Minorca frigate, says briefly
=" the French feet are again out" So
great is the distress OF the Islands of Gauda-
loupe and Martinique for provisions, thai e.
very effort will be made to relieve thern.-
This, OF course, will produce or our part the
most active measures to prevent them-
1t be true that the Toulon squadron put
to sea with troops on board, it may be that
the West Indies, and not the Atlantic Islands
was their destination.--But it is probable
that Martinique ana Gaudaloupe will fall
before any succours can reach them from
Europe
The expedition against Bilboa is said
not to have been undertaken with the view
OF keeping possession, but Of plundering IT.
Alter the houses and inhabitants had been
plilaged OF their most valuable property
the French banditti are reported to have
evacuated the town and retired to Vittori-
Our commerce with Spain is already be-
Come very considerable. One house in Lon
don has received an order from that coun-
try for coarse woollens. sufficient to clcthe'
10000 troops. Trade is looking up in the
West Riding; and the intercourse between
this country and Spain is already of great
advantage.
Very considerable supplies of arms and
ammunition have been sent from the ports
in the Northwest of Spain, to the Biscay-
ans.
COMPLEAT DEFEAT OF GENEk AL
JUNOT, AND PROPOSALS FOR
THE SURRENDER OF HIS ARMY.
The glorious intelligence we have to an
nounce, will delight every heart, though we
are persuaded that every one Of our rea-
ders was prepared to expect it. The Bri-
fish arms have been eminently victorious
over the French in Portugal in two battles
and long before this time, to use the words
of General Castanos after the surrender of
Dupont, we have no doubt, " that not a
Frenchman remains i'll arms throughout the
Kingdom of Portugal"
The Park and Tower guns we're fred this
morning at O'clock, in honor of these great
victories.
The glorious intelligence was bror riit A.
bout o'clock last night to Lord Castle
reagh's Office by Capt. Campbell 1t was
soon after communicated by lis Lordship to
the Lord Mayor
Cory.
