VIENNA, May 4.

A courier lately arrived here with very important dispatches from Petersburg, which, it is said, are as follows:--That the Empress leaves it entirely to our monarch to conclude (without regard to any political consideration whatever) an accommodation with the Dutch, or to obtain satisfaction by force of arms, if the Republic persist in their obstinacy. In all cases, his Imperial Majesty may be assured that the Empress of all the Russias is resolved to support, with all her forces, whatever resolution the Emperor may judge proper to take as the most conformable to the welfare of his subjects. In fine, the Empress declares that she will never depart from her resolution to render our monarch all the service, which not only their reciprocal alliance, but also repeated proofs of the most sincere friendship which she had at different times received from the Imperial court, may require.
