Letters received by the Litboa mail Ilan, that an Ambaffador has been feat from that Coon in a Per. tuguefe frigate, to congratulate 13011APMITI on his elevation to the Imperial dignity. This Ambalrador is the Marquis de Lima. ditlinguilltad as a determin ed enemy to the French revolution, both at its corn atonement and during its progrefs. In all probe. bility he has been Mcaed on the prefent occafion. as a perfon likely to be received with peculiar favour by the new Emperor. who has fo effatually defiroyea whatever that revolution was defigned to accomplilh.

A private hitter by the Gottenburgb Mali, arrived yelterday, sates, that while Bo AAAAA res entilfaries in Sweden have taken the opportunity of the long abfenee of his Swedillt Majefty, to fow dikontent in that country, French inuiguers are endeavouring to perfuado .stain continental powers to reduce Sweden o tisi gate of Poland. They have circu lated a plan of partition s aecnrdinglo which the ftwediftt part of the Grand Duchy of Finland, and Eye of the ferrounding provinces, are to be given no I Raffia. and the provinces of Beanie, Bober, Halbffld, Bleking; and the remaining part of Sweden, are tobe ceded to Denmark; his Swedills hiajefty to receive as indemnity, a new kingdom taken from the pro vinces of the Batavian Republic, and the ProlLus Provinces along the German Sea, with the Duchy cf Oldeuburgh, as far as Bremen. The King of Pans sta is to be indemnified by HaMiver and Swedifh Pomerania, while the Duke of °Loin events will ob. Lain his patrimonial Duchy of Holftein, with Jutland. Such is the outline of a plan, tainted in the German, French, Swedith, and Danith languages ; and uni verfally circulated through the North, where it has made a great fenfation: In Sweden particularly, it has excited much anxiety, and will probably hallen the return of his Swedifh Majelly to his dominions. The Emperor of Russia, and the King of Swsoen, are brothers.in-law, rind fecond coufins, both of the fame age, and of the fame noble and generous prin ciples. Unfortunately, however, a coolnels, approach. ing to enmity, the effect of French intrigue, MIAs between there two Princes, of which Bo is reeking to avail himfelf fur their mutual d, IlruElion. It is known, that fur tome years the French in triguers have been very aftive in Denmark ; and that Bate the late peace with Bo , has been inundated with French revolutionary (pies and incen diaries. Give them co.ly a rallying point, and the North of Europe will be as convulfed and wretched as the South. That this is BONA AAAAA 's anxious de uce, no man who has fiudied the French Revolution will deny. Its motto is and has been, "our bufinefs is not complete until the revolution has made the tour of Europe." Where this caufe cannot be advanced by force of arms, they will have recourfe to negocia. lion and intrigue ; and what expedient could better ease= the purpofe than fuch a plan of partition ? It is well known that Swedith Finland would be a clearable acquifition to Ruffle, on account of its prox imity to St. Peterlburglt. We know alfo that Den mark has never ceafed to regret the beautiful pro vinces of Scenic, Bleking, and Halland, ceded to CHAIILIA X. in 16Go. We trull, however, that nei ther Ruflia n9r Denmark will ever be avaricious enough to yield to there temptations, nor weak enough to become the dupes of Bo . It is as much the mutual intercfl of the NOI here Pursers to live at peace, as it is the interefl of the Revolts tionary Tyrant of France to embroil them with each other. trl Yeßerday morning difpatcbes were received at the Admiralty, from Sir CN•111.111 COTTON, in the San Jossen, of !Ica guns, off UfhAnt, which were for warded to Lord LVILLI, at Wimbledon.
