I have heard to day from good authority, that the court of Petersburgh have at length entirely broken with France, and that war is determined upon in conjunction with England and Sweden. It is generally believed that the two couriers who go by the packet, which is now ready to sail, carry with them the treaty between England and Russia, in which this country is included. A Russian fleet is expected to pass this place very soon, and a Russian army to be employed in Pomerania.
