Letters received by the last Anholt Mail,
not onlv confirm the news Of the conclusion
of Peace between tie Turks and The Russians
but add, tliat the cabinet OF Pctersbnrgh, some
time ago, abandoned the war vith Persia, in
order that the attention OF the Government and
the power of the empire might be directed
exclusively against France. The same letters
encourage the most fatering hopes of the
Grown Prince of Sweden. He is said to

celently disciplined, besides reserve of Is,
900 men There is also squadron of ships
ofthe line and some frigates, which, it is re-
ported, will take $4,000 Russians on board in
England, and land them OH the Continent. An
expedition against Denmark, the ally oiFrance
is spoken Of as the first operation of these
troops, in conjunction with those of Sweden.
Advces were Yesterday received from Glib.

Sicily had taken adsaBtyge of the absehce Of
Murat from his deminions, aid had ordered
the embarkation OF 5000 troops, under the
command Of general Maitland. These forces
were to proceed to Mnorca * Majorca where
they were to be strengthened by about 1000
Spaniards, and the whole to make descent
on the province of Catalocin. The effect of
this enterprise will probably be to prevent
Suchet from reinforcing either Drouet in An.
dalusia, or Marmont, in CASTLE, and also to
obslruct the sending of any reinforcementto
Madrid.
