PHILADELPHIA. June 24.

By the arrival of the ship Swift, at N. York, from Liverpool, our regular files of The London Times, Courier, Globe, Morning Post, and Evening Star, are completed to the 17th of May, from which we have made many interesting extracts for this day's Register -- We yesterday gave, exclusively, the 72d Bulletin of the French Grand Army: and, we this day publish the 71st. The Head-Quarters of the Emperor Napoleon, are stated in a private letter dated Lower Elbe, May 5th to have been removed from Finckenstein to Colm, 10 German miles from the Vistula.

SEVERAL Foreigners of distinction had been arrested in England, and some of them sent out of the Kingdom.

The following article, which we copy from The London Star of May 15th, appears to contain the most interesting intelligence received by this arrival: --

"The reports circulated yesterday, in consequence of the arrival of Mr. Stuart from the continent, of an action having taken place between the French and the Russians, proves unfounded, though stated in various private letters from Yarmouth as well as in the public letter posted at Lloyd's.

"Mr. Stuart came from St. Petersburgh, and brought with him important dispatches for government. They relate not, however, to any battle but to the fine conduct pursued by Austria at the present crisis. Some of the particulars have transpired and are reported to be as follows: -- That the Emperor of Austria had entered on a justification of his conduct, in the meeting of the States of Hungary: and that the result was an animated answer on the part of the States, in which they commend the prudent neutrality hitherto observed by the Emperor, exhort him to continue in the same line of conduct: and offer him all the resources of the state -- the lives and fortunes of the Hungarians -- to enable him to maintain the same dignified position -- This State Paper is said to conclude with supplicating his Imperial Majesty to propose his mediation to each of the Belligerent powers; and to enable him to make this offer with effect, the land tax has been doubled for three years, and the Hungarian armed mass is to be immediately called out. It is further stated, that the emperor of Austria had in consequence offered his mediation, and had seconded, with a very powerful recommendation, some certain proposals which had been made by the emperor Napoleon.

"The emperor Alexander, from respect to the recommendation of his Imperial Austrian Majesty, had deemed it incumbent on him to submit those proposals to the several allied powers; M. Ribeaupierre had in consequence been sent to his Swedish majesty: Mr. Stuart had been sent to England: and the Archduke Constantine was going to Vienna, Novosiltzof, it was reported, was about to be sent to the emperor Napoleon: and the duke De Liancourt to the Russian head-quarters.

There is still, however, a circumstance of more importance: the court of Vienna is said to have made an indiscreet declaration, that Turkey is her ally, and in this character has offered her negotiation between Russia and the Porte."

-- Such is reported to be the substance of the dispatches received. How far this may be perfectly correct we cannot determine, but we are inclined on the whole, to believe that Austria has been by some means or other, induced to listen to certain proposals made to her by Napoleon and has in consequence adopted a line of conduct embarrassing to the allies.

"Orders were yesterday dispatched by government to the commissioners of the customs, to be forwarded to all the out ports for laying an embargo upon all ships and vessels belonging to the Grand Seignior: and also from the admiralty, to the commanders of king's ships and privateers, to detain and bring in all vessels, property, &c. belonging to the subjects of the Ottoman Porte" -- Jackson's Register.
