PHILADELPHIA, August 18.

Yesterday arrived here the brig Ruby, Capt. Lloyd Jones, in 48 days from Bourdeaux. Although the Ruby sailed from that place in company with the Dispatch, arrived at New-York, yet, by the extraordinary pains taken by Capt. Jones to procure the latest papers from Paris, we are provided with the Moniteur, and L'Eclair to the 22d June, two days later than the papers brought by that vessel, and from which we published the news in our Postscript yesterday morning.

The following very important Intelligence, was translated for the American Daily Advertiser.

PARIS. (2 Messidor) June 21.

The reports of Peace so generally spread, and even mentioned in the council itself, have all of a sudden ceased. Were they without foundation? We think they were not; we persist in believing that there has been a question of armistice for several days past in agitation; that a courier came to ask it in the name of the Emperor; that the Directory have deliberated upon it; but that they will not listen to any preliminary conditions, except Mayence and Manheim; the keys of Germany are given into their hands, let the definitive negotiations should not be agreeable to their wishes. Whatever were the conditions demanded of the Emperor, we are persuaded that he will not fail to repent of having refused them. The reason of it is simple; his army is dispirited: every day announces him a fresh misfortune. The enthusiasm of victory is amongst our troops; this multiplies an hundred fold their strength, and we are promised prodigies of success.

This famous de Letang, denounced as the chief of the counter-revolutionary movements which have agitated many parts of the South, has been judged at Avignon, and put on the 24th Prairial.

The general quarters of the army of the Sambre and Meuse is at present at Neuwied, it has been moved to this place since Jourdan has passed the Rhine with his army, in four strong columns.

The fortress of Ehrenbreitstein is surrounded, but at a distance and out of the reach of cannon. The Austrians have some troops encamped under the cannon of the place. The garrison is about three thousand men strong; It is composed of the regiment of Manfredini, and of some detachments of chausseurs, with some troops of the Empire. It is hewn out of a rock; its fortifications are cannon and bomb proof, rising to a peak of prodigious height. The siege will certainly be long and murderous.
