The vanguard of the second Russian army, amounting to twenty thousand men arrived at Bohemia, about the middle of last month, and there is every reason to believe that a few days afterwards they formed a junction with the troops on the Inn. The remainder of the second Russian army might be expected to have wholly joined the troops on the Inn by the latter end of last month.
Captain Langford arrived at the admiralty this afternoon, accompanied by a Russian officer, bringing with him most important dispatches from the Elbe.
These dispatches bring a treaty of alliance, which has been concluded between this country and his Prussian majesty, whose army of eighty thousand men was actually on its march against the common enemy when the dispatches were sent off.
The emperor of Russia had been at Berlin to hold a conference with his Prussian majesty.
The same emperor is hurrying to the scene of action, at the head of an army of sixty thousand men ; and his imperial brother of Germany is also marching at the head of another army.
Government yesterday morning received the interesting intelligence that the combined Russian and Prussian forces have entered Hanover, where every thing is again put on its former footing. Six thousand French have thrown themselves into the fortress of Hameln, where it is supposed they will be blockaded.
The number of Prussian troops which were to be assembled at Hildesheim by the 26th ult. is stated in a letter from that place at fifty eight thousand men ; and the number of those which were to repair to the provinces of Franconia at 50,000.
The Prussian troops on their march to Franconia and Westphalia are to be joined by 24,000 Saxons and twenty thousand Hessians.
