A mail from Anholt arrived this morning
with the important in,e elligence of negotiations
Tor peace having at length been opened be-
tween the Porte and Russia, with every pros
pect OF being brought TO a favourable termin-
alton.
The letters by the Anholt mail inform us,
that the King OF Prussia has acceded to the
League OF the Rhine and has consented to
place, as his contingent, at the disposal of
France, the greater part of his army. The
Secretary of Ad. Saumarez, in a communi-
cation to the Committee at Lloyd's, says Gen
Rapp has actually taken the command of a
body OF $4,000 Prussians. In other accounts,
the total OF the quota to be furnished by Pru.
sia is stated at $4,000.

BY the Anhot mail, letters have been re-
ceived from on board the Victory, the hag
ship of the British Admiral from Berlin to
the date of the 9th ult and from Hamburg
to the l lth inst. 1t appears by our advices
that matters are at last accommodated be-
tween Russia and France. On; friend at the
Prussian Court says, the business Is conclu-
ded, and we only wait for the official account
of its termina,ion.-A letter from the Sccrc-
tary of Sir James Saumarez, says, that ves-
sci with British manufacture proceeding to
Russian port has been stopped, and that hence
he concludes matters are untavoura5le with
respect to that power.
The utmost anxiety prevails to ascertain
the determination of Sweden with regard to
the British property, amounting to nearly
millions within its jurisdiction. 1t has been
said that Sweden is disposed to be lcnient to-
wards us, but the maii OF to-day supplies TO
single fact upon which such conjecture can
be founded, and we apprehend that nothing
less than annoyance from the British Naval
Armament will induce the Government of
that Country, to show RESPECT to British inter-
ests.

The following particulars of the memora-
bic battle of Albuera, are communicated IN
letters from Spain, as late as the 26lh May.
1t appears that Marshal Soult had in view
the relief of Badajoz, and some hope that he
might surprize Gen Bcresford, who was be-
fore that place but the latter having early
information of his design, marched TO Albue-
ia, about IL miles distance from Bada loz,
leaving only such part oil his army as were
sufficient to prevent the,besieged from at
tempting sortie. AT this place he was join
ed by generals Blake and Castanos, whose
united force consisted Of about 25 900 mcn.---
With this force they made a stand, and OH
the 9th were aty ckcd by Marshal SouA,
whose force was about the same as the allies,
excepting their cavalry, which far exceeded
their opponents, both in number and disci-
pine. In describing the battle which is stat
ed TO have continued with little intermission
for two days, the letters add
g This battle far exceeded any thing in
modern history, for desperate fighting and
consequent slaughter. The bayonct and the
sabre were chiefly used I! The allied force is
stated to have been 2S,)Oo men OF which
number, $500 are said to have been British,
10000 Portuguese, and $500 Spanish. The
