A gentleman who came to town last evening from Salem, infoi med us of the arrival there of the schr. JVlohtiwk, of this |>ort, in 28 days from Liverpool, and fa vored U* wi‘h letters and paper* from England to the 28th of Oct, inclusive. London, Oct , 24. A Russian & French messenger arrived frc».,« France on Fridav morning, anu returned on Sundav. Nothing certain has yet trans pired either with respect to (he dispatches to or the r«rply rotuned by aur government. have heard that the former arc ve?y short—that they consist of two let ters dated from Erfurth, addres sed by M. de Champagny, the French minister for foreign affairs, and M. de Roman zow, the Rus sian minister, to his excellencv George Canning, esq.—that the two letters are in substance the same, stating that his majesty the emperor of all the Russians & hi* majesty the emperor of the French being equally animated with a de sire to put an end to the calamities of war, he (the minister fur foreign affairs) has it in command from hit majesty to request his excellen cy to communicate to hi* Britan nic majesty that desire, end if his Britannic majesty be influenced by a similar desire, to propose that plenipotentiaries shall be im mediately named, to proceed to a place that may be fixed upon, to open a negotiation with the pleni. potentiaries of his Imperial majes ty for the conclusion of a Mari time Peace. If we be correQ, the answer that will be returned by his ma. jetty’s ministers, to such a com munication is obvious. The epithet applied by the enemy to the kind of peace which they are desirous of negociating, shews us at once that they do not admit our interference in the affairs of the continent. His ina nity's ministers we should co“- jetture would reply to M. de Champagny, and M. de Ro manzow, that his Britannic tna jefiy was animated by the desire which he had always expressed, and which was known to all Europe, to put an end to the calamities of war, whenever he could do so confidently with the security of his dominions, the honor of his crown, and the good faith he owed to his allies —that he was ready to enter into a tpgociation in concert with those allies, and that he would immediately • communi cate the overtuics that h'4d been made to him to his majetty the king of Sweden, to the Prince Regent of Portugal, and to the Central and Supreme Junta m Spain, governing in the name of his Catholic nrajefty, Ferdi nand Vli.

By this wc do not mean that lhc eventful fate of that naiion is about to be decided, but that a fanguinarv contest has proba bly taken place. For some time previous to the 27th GO. it was (uppofed from the accounts from Spain, that about 20000 French troops who had taken polieflion of Bilboa, under mar Dial Nev, , < * were cut oil from retreat. But on that day lays the Courier, intelligence arrived, winch pro ved that this was not the case. A vedel which left Corunna on the 20th, announces that 30,000 belh troops had palled the Py. renees and joined Ncy, whole whole force now amounts to between 70 and 80,000, con centrated between Bilboa Vit toria. This reinforcement did not appear to have altered the positi on of the Spantlh armies, which deferibed neatly a circle, begin ning at Valtnaleda and ending at Uoncevalios. The de Portazgo was at Vaimdieda Blake on the mountains near Biiboa—Calldiios at Lojnono, n / <*nd Palafox at Roncevallos. It is Rated that the Spaniards were m high (pints and not diffident of lucceis in calc ofageneial encounter. Gens.

'1 hrougn the po litenefs of a meicaniile friend, we have been favored with Lon don papers to the 26th Otio ber, brought by this vedel. The Brittlh naval force in the Baltic, has relinquilhed the idea of an attack on the Ruliian licet in Port Baltic—so Itrougly had the Rulftan admiral fortified himfelf 011 the land hie, and obltruded the entrance of the port, by extending its mouth an enormous w*ia;n, and other obitrudions, that it was thought advtfabie ou the part of the Britilh and Swcuilh ad mirals, to give up the idea of an attempt on mat iqiadoa, while it continued tu mat poii. Paris papers of OBohcr 2, date that the French troops on their march into Spain, are in tie highest spirits and anima tion; they proceed through the departments aondlf the congrat ulations and embraces of their countrymen ; but their chief fed tv it y, t.iey fay, will be, when they shall find thernfelves oppo. fed to the English. Public Meetings held in vari ous parts of Great. Britain, for the purpose of foliating his ma. jelly’s miniders to inllitute an enquiry into the cauler which led to the late difgraccful con. vention entered into by the Bri u(h commanders in Portugal. A very levere dorm was ex. perienced on thecoails of Eng land and Ireland, on the Bth Odober, in which a great num of velfels were loft. A fleet of transports having on boaid a division of the French troops from Portugal, were difpcrleri in the fame gale —one of the ships foundered, and nearly 300 Frenchmen perillied : many others had not been heard of, and fears were entertained for their fate.
