Since the publication of our last number
we have received BY the British Packet an
English paper containing London News tic

LONDON, Aug. 90.
There were some arrivals from Holland on
Saturday. The papers observe the most
profound silence respecting Spain.
1t any doubt could be entertained of an
immediate rupture between Austria and
France, they must be dispellcd by the or

Perpignan. Numerous Corps from the
North of Italy were said to be marching for
that quarter.
Some intelligence from Sweden reached
US yesterday. We are happy to find from
the official reports, that the late engagements
between the Russian and Swedish galley
fleets did not prsve so disastrous to the lat
ter as the previous rumours led MS to expect.
They were overpowered BY numbers and
defeated, but they retreated without the loss
of a single vessel. Their loss in killed and
wounded was, however, considerable.---
The private leeers, one of which we insert,
give a horrible picture of the excuses com
mitted by the Russians as they retired from
Finland. The Town of Wasa. whith open
ed its gates to them six months ago, was
treated with AS great and indiscrimnating
ferocity as it 1t had been carried BIZ Storm

About % transports sailed from the More
Oh Sunday, to proceed to Langelant, for the
purpose of bringing away the Spanish troops
who will be furnished here with ammuni-
tion and coathing before they are sent TO
Spain. OF the latter they have had no sup
ply whatever, since they left their native
country.
