SWEDEN. CHRISTIANSAND. JAN. S 3. The treaty for the Armed Neutrality has cer tainly been figned by Ruffia, Sweden, and Den mark. Pruflia has merely acceded to it, without entering into any other engagements. In conic quence of this treaty, Sweden is arming (even (hips of the line, three frigates, and a great nun- . ber of gun-boats, which are to be employed for the defence of its coaffs, and in particular for that of the entry into the Sound. As foon as the feafon will permit, a camp of 13,000 men will be formed in Scania. It is to he commanded by Baron General Tott. and by the two Lieutenant-Generals Baron de iVREDS and Baron Slums-rams. Thefe three general officers are - the only ones fpoken. of. Several regiments have received orders to hold diemfelves in readi nefs, and orders have been alfo difpatched to the great and the leder Fleet. Although there prepa rations feem to indicate a certainty of a war with England, the difpofition to negociate hill remains; but the fituation of Ruffia and England makes us apprcbenfive that this rupture is inevitable, and Sweden and Denmark will follow the fate of Ruffia. The Ripulation in the treaty only requires Raffia to furnifh fifteen 'hips, but the is arming from • twenty-five to thirty. The united force of the three Powers of the North in the Baltic will be from fortyfive to fifty (hips, thirty of which are to form the naval army of the Coalition; but it is well known what a Coalition mull be between three Powers who miftrull and deteft one another. It is not by the extent of our arms that we thall annoy England, but it is her commerce which we !hall injure, by !hutting up the Baltic againfl her. Sweden can get nothing but dry blows, and can do no milchief to England ; while th e expofes herfelf to the rifle lofing soo merchant Chips now at fea, and of which too are already in the Britifh ports. Raffia fubfidizes us, but to what extent is not publiciLkz a w r n : it is alto believed that the fubfi dizes k, though there has been Tome mif underßanding between the two Powers, owing to the latter having refilled to fign unlefs on certain terms, to which Ruflia would not accede. The Danifh Minifter had even received orders to quit the coat, but the affair has tince been fettled. The receipt of a fubfidy does, indeed, render us in tome degree dependent upon Ruffia ; but the ne • cefiity of providing ourfelves with corn, which could only be obtained by there means, left us no alternative. HOLLAND. HAGUE, FEB. 3. Yefterday morning, upon the arrival of a con rier from Luneville at the hotel of the French Amhaffador, the report was fpread immediately, and even reached the Firn Affembly, that the news of the figning of the Preliminaries bad ar rived; hitt we were Coon undeceived, by learning that, inficad of this agreeable information, the courier bad brought intelligence of an event which Gravid be contidered as it, precurfor• ' the Conven tion S i gned at Luneville between the Plenipoten tiaries of France and Aunria, namely, the mime diate evacuation of Msunna, without woich the Fira Conful has refuted to confirm the Armiilic: of Trevifa, by which that furtrefs was to have re mained in the hands of the Auftrians tin pace.
