NATIONAI In one of the foreign Papers, General SucliET i 6 said to have arrived at Burgos, on his way to join MAnNtoNT, wirh 10,000 men, and Generals Jovit. DAN and OebiNo'r are said to be on their way to 'Spain, the former to take the command the Army of the Centre, the latter of the Army of the North. By a letter received yesterday from an Officer in Sir RICHARD STRACIIAN'S squadron, off Flushing, we are informed, that the fleet WaS to return to the Downs in the end of the present month. No other reason is assigned, than that Sir Ricumtn, on his ar rival-in England, was to be married. Thursday a Supreme Board of General Officers assembled at the Commander in Chief's Office, on the business of the Military College at Marlow, which was attended by their Royal Higlmesscs the Dnkes of KENT, CUMBERLAND, and CAMBRIDGE, Generals Hoer, CALVERT, &c. All of them ap peared in the new General's uniform, except Gen. CA LVERT. Advises from Petersburgh to the 14M, from Ber lin to the 22d, and from Konigsberg to the 24th ult. have been received. The following is an im portant letter from the latter Konigsberg, Sept. 25. " The rumours of hostilities between FrAnce, Russia, and Prussia have now assumed somewhat of a tangible shape, and we are told that war will break cut almost hnmediately. This seems con firmed by the constant bustle and activity in which the troops of this kingdom, Poland, ard Russia have been kept for some time. 'We are all anxiety, as we understand that the Emperor of the FR E NCH will direct his progress towards us, which is said to be the signal for the - commencement of war.—Our public Papers allude to this event in open terms, and to its cc•nsequences, which makes us the more certain. The following has been shown as an estimate of the amount of Polish, Prussian, and Russian troops in this part of the Continent .At Warsaw and its neiglsbourhood Crac ow Poles 30,000 14,000 . Konigsberg • • . . . Prussians 17,000 Berlin • • . . . Ditto 20,000 Colherg . . . • . 1 2 000 • • Russians in Old Galicia and Russian Poland . 60,000 Scattered Forces in vanuus places . 20,000 . . 173,040 " The frequent movtitnents that have taken place among these troops have rendered the statement less accurate than I could wish. The F:ench have at I)antzic wally 30 - ,OGO, and at Stettin about 16,000. Alt her their force cannot be estimated at less than 150,000. This number includes a con tingent which, it is said, the Emperor of AUST:UA has entered into a Secret Treaty t contribute. On the whole view, we may lock with some degree of certainty to a war, and that pet haps at a short dis tance. Some persons assert Lila.. it cannot begin before s n "It is to he the intention of BUONAPARTE to erect Poland inzo .1 distinct kingdom for NluttAT, v e ho will give up Naples." The Swe !ish Government, it is still maintained, i 6 determined to remain neutral in the event f t a war lA - raking ut m tie North. A nradc of its Ricific &-rsit:on is .t.,ted ttl:ave been indicated, by the suppression of a which lately appeared, •- (INISTER. vIT recommending a war with Russia, and an attack on Finland. The CROWN PRINCE was the first. to noice the work, and to stigmatize the author as an incendiary. . The following Letter contains' some particulars of the gallant action betweea the 'Fly, and a cloud of Danish gun•boats WINGo, SLIT. 9.—His Majesty's brig Fly has arrived at Wingo, near Gottenburgh, after an ac. tion of two hours, with the enemy's gun-boats, off Langela;.‘l,. - on the 30th of August, consisting of 17 gun-boats, each carrying one long 36-pounder, and two smaller ones, and 70 men, together with 22 sn - taller boats, making in all 39, which were sup. .ported with field-pieces, and a battery on shore, whliin musket-shot. The enemy sustained great lass ; the Fly lost her upper masts, &c. but had not one man Lilled. Letteas have been received from Alicant, which state, that the Governor of that city was using every exertion to put it into the best pos,,ible state (if defence. Mortars and cannon were placed on the different ramparts, the workmen were busily em ployed in completing the different works, and not the least 'apprehension was entertained for the safety of the town, should the enemy again make their appearance, of which, however, there was not the slightest appeal ance. American Papers to the 2d ult. received at Wa terford, by the Argonaut, Capt. Buss, are stated in l'he Water fbrd Nirror, to have brought an ac count, that the PurstnEsT of the United States had broken his leg by a fall from his horse. Mc Baltimore Federal Republican of the 2d ult. is said said to contain a report to that effect. The very unsettled, and indeed alarming state to which the i;ingdrm . of Sicily has been reduced by the policy of . the ruling party, has, it is understood, excited the earnest attention of the usurper cf Na ples. Prcpirations for the invasion of that island are said to have been again renewed, in the hope of snc'ess, during the disturbed and distracted state-of affiirs within its bosom. A letter, dated Messina, .Tilly 22, says—Last night a boat coming from - Calabria Vas stopped by our guard-boats, in which was fbnnd a priest, dis guised ;IF, a con , mon sailor. He had in lis pr sses sion some hundreds of dollars. His Reverence was taken to the citadel, and on examination was sup posed to he a spy ; but « out c f his own mouth" he would not he condemned ; fcr not a word would he answer t l he had received 50 lashes, and was pro mised 200 mere the next morning ; then, to get the punished reduced, he made a confessi,,n, in NA hich he implicated otht rs as well as himself. He ac knowled.,:ed that the d liars he had received from the French to convey to Seignior C—, in office here. Another Mr. C. fearful that something might transpire respecting him, has absconded to Palermo. The perqm last alluded to, has told Mr. T. that he is the 's agent for all' matters of interest. I have just heard, that the firq named C. is mi,*g, and is either gone to Calabria, or The following notice was on Wednesday plsted at Lloyd's The next and last convoy this year for t' e Baltic, will positively sail from the Nore Ott the 15th ins:, wind and weather permitting."
