CIIPENTIR, which was fent out to, Cadiz with difpatches for Sir JOHN Outs, but not finding hint there, returned to Plymouth on Friday lafl, fell in, on the sth, with a Guernfey privateer, which two days before law a fleet of men of war, confining of nineteen fall of the line, in lat. 44. and long. 15. The Captain of the priva teer fuppofed thefe chips to be the Britith fleet ; but there is reafon to think, from their &nation, that they were the combined fleets of Fravlce and Spain which lately failed from Cadiz. So great are the exertions ufed at Portfinouth, Plymouth, and Chatham dock yards, in fitting out the numerous line of battle fhips now lying in ordi- nary at there ports, that in a fhort time we may ex• pet a formidable addition to our effeEtitttnaral force. The interests of commerce may, to Own-lighted pa liticians, feem to fuffer by the rigour of the imprifs fervice at the prefent moment ; but many arguments would not be neceffary to prove that it is ultimately for its real benefit and advantage. What would be come of our commerce, ihould the enemy once be able to contend with this country for the nivereignty of the Peas ? On Saturday we announced that the Treaty which bad been fo long depending with RutGa had been ratified by the Emperor Ataxasnut. This fad is generally credited; but there are various reports as to the contents. The Emperor of Ruffia stipulates to join this country with a certain number of Ships, and with all his land Fotccs, againit France-4ut Tome afTert that this is only conditional—thaitertain terms of Peace, in which the general interelis of Eu rope than be provided for, will first be fubtnitted to BOiIAPART2 ; and that the commencement of actual hollilities between RufGa and France, will depend on his anfwer. The million of M. de Novort mum., to' the French Govetnment, which we announced on Thurfday tail, is thought by tome to be connected with this bufinefs, and he is believed to have carried with him a plan of Pacification, of fuch a nature as will not occupy much time in the difcufllon, bat to which he will demand an immediate acquiefeence or rejedion. • One report fays that the fubfidy to RufGa is not to be paid unlefs Auftria or PrufGa !ball join in the war againft France. Another Oates that the Porte will take an aftive part in favour of this coun try as far as its pottier and indent circumftances will permit. The amount of the fubfidy to puifia, is faid to be five millions (letting annually. Befides this, there will probably be a fubfidy paid to Sweden. It is alfo reported that a large quantity of Dollars has already been bought up on Government account for the purpore of making the•necdLrg remittances. We have Rated filch rumours as are in circulation refpeeing this importan ttranfaeion, but the real fags will not be publicly known till ihejreaty itfeW be laid before Parliament. Politicians, however, will be at no lofs to perceive from the fubjoined State pa . per, that though, from the complicated nature of the arrangements that have been preparing, there has neceffarily been much time occupied, th efyftem of fur ference and tame fubmillion to the encroachments made by France on the rightsof Independent Govern ments, acquiefced in and fupported by the blind policy of Pruflia, is now terminated ; and that of whatever nature the propofitions that are to be fubmitted to BONAPARTE may be, the craft of 'NEUMANN whore policy it always has been to procrallinate, will not now avail him. He mutt give a diree anfwer—he fit ation or filence will be held to be a rejeetion on his part. STATE PAPER. SOTS DILMILID !WISE IWIDUN CHARGE D'ATFAIRISI BORON 1111NRISANS, TOTH! PRUSSIAN CABINRT. 4‘ The underfigned Charge d'Affaires from the Xing of Sweden, has juf received inftrutlions from his Court, relative to Baron HARDINIBRO'S note, of the 24th December, 1804. By the exprefs com mand of his Majefty the underfigned, returns the fol lowing anfwer. His Excellency the•Minifter of the ca binet will be pleated to reeolle& that immediately nn receipt of the Paid note, the King declared that, the affair being of a nature of equal concern to Swe den and to Ruffia, both clofely united by treaties, by mutual friendthip, and by the ties of confanguinity, his %jelly has refGlved to confult with the Empe ror of Rullia on the overture made to him, and to give his answer at the fame time with that which his Imperial Majelly might think proper to tranfmit to Bolin. The laft accounts from St. Peterlburgh have fully juftified the conviaion which the King en tertained relative to the fentiments of the Emperor of 14E* on this fubjea ; and as his Imperial Majefly f..nn after refolved to take force Ileps, the King wr uld no longer delay an anfwer, fuch as the Km , Fetor t,f Ru liia has all() found adapted to the prefent talc. True to the princikles of that dignity which ought to ebeiraderixe every Sovereign elan indepen dent State, the King cannot perish his general poli tical !yam, the fyftens of his alliances, and the en• gagements which perhaps May fpring from it, ever to become the objed 9f a difcuffion. His Priffian Majefty pas himfelf declared, that it is his principle to regard this indifputable right of every Sovereign: he cannot therefore but acknowledge it in its applica tion. If then be will confider, that no meafure of th e King ever 'furnlibed the ilighteft ground for fur pelting its being direded againft the particular in tereft of Pruifia, the right of demanding ftwther explanations on thofe matures (the nature of which fufficiently indicated their objea), is'confequendy not afforded. The King cannot as yet perfuade himfelf that his Pruffian Majefty will perfitt in his intention to Modify the general polity of Sweden; by the influ ence of his fyilem of neutrality, which, influence would be the more inadmiffible, fince the fetid ryr tem (on which the King does not permit hirisfelf, io judge, with refped to the States of his Prnffian Ma jay, and the neighbouring States which have for► orally recognized it) cannot poffibly extend its elicits fo far as to confine the general difpofitions of a So vereign,whglas fach) does not recognife any perfon's fupremacy, and, as a Member of the Germanic Em pire, only that of the Emperor of the Romans. The King, therefore, has no other explanations to give than there, that he will invariably prove true to his principles, the juftice and dignity of which ulna conliantly be the belt guaranteesof his intentions. His Majefty readily believes thit the King of Pruffia will acknowledge the juftice of the preceding remarks; and that be will not avail himfelf of fonte erroneous and exaggerated affertions to attempt an unjuft con queft. Of this the King muff be doubly convinced, on confidering that thofe affertions (even by the avowal of the Cabinet of Berlin Well), are made by a Government, the holtile fentiments of which, to wards his Majefty's perfon, are known to all Europe. Should it, neverthelefs, be poflible, in (pite of the King's convidion, in this refped, that an aaual at tack be made on Pomerania, his Majefty declares' that he will not be wanting in allies, who will too dearly fee the juftice of his caufe not to fupport it. This declaration, neverthelefs, is not in any knit to be confidered as a challenge, as it prefuppofes the cafe Of an attack; and the King would the lefs omit mak ing this remark as be would with pleafure fee the in tereft of both States united for the general welfare, and the connexions between himfelf aid his Pruffian Majefty maintained for ever by reciprocal confidence Ind friendthip.
