SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11. The Apropriation Bill was read a third time, and passed.—The Bill for opening a Canal in the City of Washington was passed. Mr. NICHOLAS, from the Committee of Foreign Affairs (Mr. G..W. CAMPBELL being sick) reported , 4 A Bill to interdict all Commercial Intercourse be tween the United States and Great Britain and France and their dependencies, and for other purposes." The following is a summary of the provisions of the Bill :—All armed ships or vessels of Great Britain and France are interdicted from entering our ports, from the passing of the Act. Unarmed vessels are to be interdicted from and after the day of next. Importations of British and French goods, wares and merchandize, are to cease after the 20th of May next. If either Britain or France shall revoke the Orders or Decrees violating our neutral rights, the operation of the law as it respects the Power revoking, should forthwith cease. As it respects all other countries, the Embargo is to be repealed on the 4th of March. Vessels sailing after the removal of the Embargo, are to give bonds in double the amount of the Vessel and cargo, not to violate the provisions of the Non- Intercourse Law. The Bill was made the Order of the Day for Tues. day.—The Bill has been reported much earlier than was expected. The 4th;of March is certainly the day which has been finally fixed on for the repeal of the Embargo. FEBRUARY 13.—Mr. MILNER presented a memorial of between three and four thousand citizens of Phila delphia, praying for the repeal of the Embargo Laws. Nothing of importance has been transacted this day. To-morrow will be a day of great expectation and interest. It is thought by some that the Non intercourse Bill will not pass. In that case a Repeal of the Embargo will again be moved, unconnected with any other subject. The Editors of the Enquirer and Aurora have both interposed their veto against the Repeal of the Em birgo, unless accompanied by a Declaration of War. It remains to be seen whether this circumstance will create another "panic," to influence the decision of this momentous question. DUTCH PAPERS. PARIS.- VI4'.P.CH 16. In the Senate, Mr. GILEs has been delivering a very long speech in favour of the Non-Intercourse Resolution, which he moved in consequence of the arrangements in caucus.--Srreman's Journal. Mr. Bayard has replied to Mr. Giles with 'great ability. The speeches of these two champions will present by far the most interesting view of the Non intercourse system that has hitherto been taken. FEAitUARY 14.—The Bill for laying an additional duty upon importations was considered in a Commit tee of the whole, Mr. MASTERS in the Chair. Mr. MILNER moved to strike out the first section. After considerable discussion, the Motion was with driwn. The blank in the first section, for the advance per eentum upon the permanent duties now imposed by I.tw, ..yaq tided, on the motion of Mr. ALSTON, with tilt woninpv per cent. Of course, the duties are not d=4bleJ, as was originally contemplated. The Nou-intercour , e has Uot been taken up. FER, 15.—,TorrscRIRT. — .

This measure will, as we have predicted from the commencement orthe Session, undoubtedly h • adopted. Mr, Rodney (says the Freeman', Journal) is to act as Secretary at War for the present, and on the re turn of General Arrnstroug from France, the appoint ment i 6 to be given to that Gentleman. It is said pow to be ascertained that neither Mr. Jefferson nor Mt. Giles will serve as Secretary of State, and Mr: Qaincy Adams is generally talked of, in the dem o _ crac:c circles, as the trios-proitilam candidate for that ir r ,portant situ.

" The Charge d'Affaires of his Catholic Majesty FZRDINAND' • • The above-mentioned Work claims a strong interest with VII. the Beloved, has received the Pap:r which Chevalier 131Au the Public from the eircumstance of the Author's accredited re toys has sent to him by order of the Minister of France, entitled . eeption at the Courts of the respective Countries, and in the first 4 Constitution of Spain and the Indies'; from which it would re draft of Rank And Wealth, and by his known powers of illus.. , suit, that Jostru INl.seoixosi is King of Spain and the Indies. crating by the pencil the objects which claimed his attention. i " But it being certain that the Inhabitants of Spain and her 1 Americas (that part alone of the Peninsula excepted wherein the French bayonets prevent the people from freely manifesting their sentiments) call with the greatest affection, eagerness, and enthu siasm, for the return to Madrid of their beloved King, FERDI• NAND, to whom they ba-c sworn allegir.nce, and for the purpote of seating whom on the Throne of his predecessors they arc ready to sacrifice their tranquillity, property; and lives, and profoundly disapproving of what was termed at Bayonne ' the Constitution of Spain and the Indes'—it is herewith returned to Chevalier Bk.Autotte, inasmuch as the retaining of it would be an act of high treason against the Spanish Na:ion. " At the same time, he embraces this occasion to make offer to the Cheva.,r of all his respects and considerations." The Empernr arrived at Ramboualet, on the 10th, at eight in the evening. Prince Alexander Kura kin, and a great number of Courtiers, have repaired hither. The following day their Majesties rode out with lYnce Kurakin in a carriage. The Emperor re turned on the 15th. On the 10th, passed through Nancy, Count de Paas, Major r;enet al and Chamberlain of the Empe ror of Austria, as courier on nis-.way to Pa-is ; Co lonel de Gervais, Russian Cottnsellor of State, on his way to St. Petersburg!) ; Colonel de Berolger return ing to Stutgard ; and Ildi Bey, with dispatches for the Amb.u.sador of Persia,.going to Paris. Marshal Kellerman is arrived at P.tu. Our papers remark, that the Prince of Schwartzen. berg has been received at St. Petersburg with all the ceremony and etiquette required, but with - no parti cular marks of favour ; he was not invited to the Hermitage. MARCH 17.—Yesterday's Monitcur has the V ,low ing :—General Andreossi, Ambassador from France to Vienna, is arrived at Paris on leave of absence.— He left behind him, to transact his affairs, M. Do. drip, his First Secretary of Legation. On his arrival he had an interview with the Emperor. This morning Colonel Gorgoly, Aid-de-Camp of the Emperor of R ussia, arrived here ; he left St. Pe tersbiirgh on the Ist instant. The Emperor' invited him instantly to accompany him to the chace, and also to dine with him. Our latest intelligence from Austria announces, that in imitation of the Spaniards, the Students of the Universitiei and High Schools had offered to serve their country in separate regiments, which offer the Government had accepted. A number of officers in the Austrian army, born subjects of the Princes of the Rhenish league, had, on the other hand, deman ded their dismission, being unwilling to fight against their countrymen. In Austria, the military prep•trations still continue. Besides the c.;mps forming at Egra, in Bohemia, at Lintz, Upper Austria, and on the side of Italy, it is also said, that fourth army is to be formed in the territory of Salzburg. In Bavaria, by way of precaution, orders had been given to empty the Houses of Correction of Munich rtZd Ingolstad, of their ti.igazines, and bring. them to Augsburg. In the last Vienna Court Courant; the writer goes so far as to assert, that the peace with England wa s not compelled by a fresh insurrection of the Jannissa ries, and that it was equally false that the Russian commanders had, on that account, broken off all con nection with the Turkish provinces. DRESDEN, MARCH 7. We have suffered great alarm here, on account of the movements of the Austrian army, and with great rapidity the treasures of Das gmene Gewoelbe, (the green vault) were transported to the impregnable for tress of Konigstein. The fortifications of the town were repaired, and the army put on the war establish ment; but our apprehensions have, in a great mea sure, passed over. The Austrian army, we hear in Bohemia, is collecting towards Franconia, and it is said, Austria will not in this war act offensively...— . We do not flatter ourselves, that peace will be main. tained ; but.in the mean while, we gave time for the return of our army from Dantzig, and of the auxili aries of our mighty ally. PASSAU, MARCH 8. At Brannan the fortifications are repairing with the greatest activity. Between Lenz and the Aus trian frontiers are no great number of Austrian troops, but between that town and Vienna is a, numerous army. At Salzburg are scarcely 8000 Austrian troops. ULM, MARCH Is. The Marshal Duke of Auerstadt is arrived here. It is reported that this place is to b(the head-quit rs of the Rhine army. lirom the Tyrol we learn, I':a -.a considerabk..French army is entering the Venc 2.1 territory._ _ From Munich of the Bth instant, we hear that An dreossi has taken the ultimatum of the Austrian Court to Paris. From Carlsrahe we hear that on the 9th further French troops were arrived on the right hulk of the Rhine. At Strasburg a considerable corps of cavalry was arrived. LOWER ELBE, MARCH 14. Letters from Leipsic of the 6th state, that a num ber of waggons with royal effects and state archives, had arrived there from Dresden. The King of Denmark arrived yesterday at Kiel from Copenhagen. He is expected to remain there some days. LOWER RHINE, MARCH 12. A dreadful storm is again gathering over the Con tinent of Europe, and I doubt whether at any time befo-e such numerous corps of troops were at one , . in motion as at , this present moment. The armies of France, 414. her allies,. which are actually already marching against Austein, may, without the least ex aggeration, "be estimatcd at 500,000 men. It is not ' equally easy to aster ail% the real military force of Austri ; but thaw cat—int remain sr * 4 04 (4 its being also very formilaae. R.EIML7ITION IN SWEDEN. arsrnoT, MARCH 10.—An alarming occurr4ace took place here within these last few days :--Colonel d'Addelsparre, who commanded the troops on the Frontiers of Norway, after booing seduced them, marched in here on the night of the 6th instant, and demanded of the Burgomaster quarters for his troops, which was refused ; in consequence of whiclehe made application, in the most presumptuous manner, to Count Rosen, the Governor, stating; that if his re quest was not granted, the troops he commanded should enforce it, and take quarters wherever they could find them. Count Rosen still perSisting in the refusal, he was ordered under arrest, as was the Burgomaster, and the troops forcibly obtained what their Leader had demanded. I. Colonel d'Addelsp are, at the head of two thousand regular troops, and about the same number of pea santry, are now on their march to Stockholm to de ! mand of the King to call a diet of the States, as well jas to obtain payment of the troops under his com -1 mond. Should these demands be resisted, the conse quences must be dreadful, as Stockholm is not pre- I pared for defence, All the troops having been with drawn to Aland. GOTTENBURGH, MARCH 16.—The troops on the ' borders of Norway being in a state of insurrection, caused by their want of clothing and prov;sions, and having broken up from their positions, to march against Stockholm, the Magistrates of this place have deemed it advisable to assemble the principal mer 'chants, and, to require a loan of twenty thou s and rix dollars, to pay off the arrears due to the troops in this district, and to prevent them from following the example of those already mutinied. A subscription was immediately opened, and the necessary sum pro vided. This city being hitherto garrisoned by the militia, who are unfortunately in a bad sta te of health, and undisciplined, it has been thought necessary to order. a regiment of horse, and one of foot soldiers, to be quartered here ; they are expected to arrive in a few days. The Commander in Chief set out at one o'clock this morning to Carlstadt, to suppress the insurrection amongst the troops that are in a rebellious state in that neighbourhood. For the prevention of riots and disturbances, the tavern keepers have had a strict order from the Head Magistrate to shut up their houses at nine o'clock on week days, and seven o'clock on Sundays, under a heavy penalty, besides imprisonment. Some of the English cruizers have intercepted a timber of Danish vessels employed in conveying Swedish prisoners of war from Norway to Jutland, provisions being so scarce, they could no longer main tain them in that country. PROCLAMATION, ISSUED BY THE DUKE OF SUDERMANIA,DN HIS ASSUMMG THE GOVERNMENT. " We, Charles, by the Grace of Gnu, Hereditary Prince of Sweden, the Goths, Vandals, Sc. Duke of Sndermaria, Grand Admiral, &c. &c. do declare— That, under existing circumstances, his Majesty is in capable to act, or of conducting the important affairs of the Nation : WC have, therefore (being the nearest and only branch of the family, of age) been indu ced for the time being, as Administrators of the King dom, to take the reins of Government into our hands, which, with the help of the Atmlutirr, we «;:i con duct so that the nation may regain Peace, both at home and abroad, and that Trade and Commerce may revive from their langvishing state. " Our inviolable intention is, t,i consult with the States on the means•to be taken to render the future time happy to the people of Sweden. - " We invite and command, therefore, at; the inha bitants of our Nation, our Forces by Sea and Land, and also the Civil oMcers of all degrees, to obey us, as our real intention, and their own welfare demand. ~ We recommend you all to the protection of GOD A LUICIITY. " Done at Stockholm Palace, March 13, 1809. (Signed) " C. LAGERERING." Gorrr.Nuttuort, Marton 15.—The King is a priso ner ; and I hear that Count Uglass, Count Fersen, and others of his friends, have been arrested. The Tribunal lately instituted by the King, at Stockholm. for the trial of some of his Nobles, has been dissolved. Overtures have been already, made to the Cabinets of Paris and Petersburgh, for the restoration of Peace. The Revolution which has just taken place has I fear been effected by the influence of France, and will, doubtless, prove injurious to the interests of Eng land. PROCLAMATION.

We have solemnly contracted the en gagement to destroy all such as shall still endeavour to prefer foreign coace.sions to the internal welfare and tranquillity of Sweden. " Swede:Vs German dominions are delivered up to the enemy ; and Finland, the native soil of a noble and gallant people, is lost. We hive already con tracted the engagement, that not a single inch more of the Swedislt territory shall be given up to the enemy. The trade and mines of Sweden arc ruined and deserted--tier youth are taken from agricultural pursuits, in order to be destroyed by sickness and the sword. The burthens laid on agriculture are such that they cannot be borne any longer. Grinding taxes are exacted 'without mercy.

REVOLUTION IN SWEDEN. Captain Lvroao, or the PnosurrE friga:e, reached Yarmouth on Saturday, arrived yest-a.da the Admiralty, with dispatches from Admiral Si KEATS, in the Baltic. Two Gottenburgh Mails also arrived. These dispatches and mails announce a Revolution in Sweden. The Ram has been deposed, and is now a prisoner. Counts UGLAS and FEttsk..x, and other, of his advisers, have been put under arrest—and the King's Uncle, the Duke of SUDERMANJA, formcey Regent of the Kingdom, has assumed the runs ci Government. Of this Revolution, which took place on the 13th inst. but few other particulars are yet known —Two proclamations announce the designs of the friends of the Revolution ; the one, dated from the Palace at Stockholm, and subscribed by the Duke. declares, that " his Illifjesty is incapable of acting, or of conducting the important affairs of the na::on," and pro. poses to refer the situation of the country to the Snow of the Realm ; the other, signed by the Commander of the troops in Vermeland, concurs in this last par. titular, details the grievances under the former Ad ministration, and indicates the disposition of the.mr:• ter to conciliate the Courts of Pete,-sburgh and Copen• hagen in the following remarkable expressions : " The rulers of Russia and Denmark, incessantli engaged in pursuits tending to promote the prosperity of their people, will not disturb the peace and trar.• quillity of a nation whiCh merely desires to live or die independent." The mutiny at Carlstadt, more than 130 miles des , tant from the capital, appears to have been the prelude to the strong measures at Stockholm ; the alarm quickly extended to Gottenburgb, where tl4eCommar.- der in Chief then resided. This Officer, soon after the information was received, set off for Carlstadt "to suppreis the insurrection ;" but it is .probable, that on hearing of the state of matters in the eap;tal, .1 • •. • ti •:; CF7:I ;man spee r lost es. 11 that ever nit ca loud :K he . • Rea- apes, t sub- •,e • widt cots;• tc ccas: to the asider the= 7ece? ha Lay at >ir R. have lution now Aber, ci the Italy ns cf .
