WOODTHOR PE. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. DECLARATION OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AGAINST SWEDEN. PBTERSBURGII, FEB. 24.—The following Declara tion has been published here : " Justly indignant at the violence which England has displayed towards the King of Denmark, the Emperor of Russia, faithful to his character and to his system of unceasing care for the interests of his empire, notified to the King of Great Britain, that he could not remain insensible of so unjust and unexam pled an aggression on a Sovereign connected with him by the ties of blood and friendship, and who was the most ancient Ally of Russia. " His Imperial Majesty informed the King of Swe den of this determination by a Note, dated the 24th of September last, and presented to the Swedish Am- bassador. An article of the Treaty concluded in 1783, be tween the Empress Catharine and Gustavus 111. and another in the Treaty of 1800, between the late Em peror Paul and the present King of Sweden, contain the reciprocal and stipulated agreement to maintain the principle, that the Baltic is a close Sea, with the guarantee of its coasts against all acts of hostility,. vi olence, or vexations whatever ; and further, to em ploy for this purpose all the means in the power of the respective Contracting Parties. His Imperial Ma jesty, referring to these treaties, considered himself not merely authorized, but bound, to call upon the King of Sweden for his co-operation against England. 44 His Swedish Majesty did not disavow the obli gations imposed upon him by the treaties referred to, but refused all co-operation until the French troops should be removed from the coast, and the ports of Germany opened to English ships. But the question here was the checking of these aggressions which England had commenced, and by which all Europe was disturbed. The Emperor demanded from the King of Sweden a co-operation founded on treaties ; but his Swedish Majesty answered by proposing to delay the execution of the treaty to another penod, and by troubling himself with the care of opening the Dutch ports for England. In a word, of rendering himself of service to that England, against which measures of defence ought to have been taken. It I would be difficult to find a more striking proof of I partiality on the part of the King of Sweden towards Great Britain, than this which he has here given. gg His Imperial Majesty, on the 16th of November, caused a second Note to be delivered, in which his Swedish Majesty was informed of the rupture between Russia and England. " This Note remained two months unanswered, l i and the answer which was transmitted on the 9th of January to his Majesty's Ministers, was to the same purport as the former. The Emperor is, however, far from regretting his moderation. He is, on the contrary, well pleased to recollect, that he has employed every means that remained to him for bringing back his Swedish Ma jesty to the only system of policy which is consistent with the interests of his States ; but his Imperial Ma jesty owes it at last to his people, and to the security of his dominions, which is to a Sovereign the highest of all laws, no longer to leave the co-operation of Russia with Sweden a matter of doubt. s , Informed that the Cabinet of St. James's, en deavouring to terrify Denmark into a concurrence 1 with the interests of England, threatened that Swe dish troops should occupy Zealand, and that the pos session of Norway should be guaranteed to the King of Sweden ; assured also that his Swedish Majesty, while he left the Russian Note unanswered, was se cretly negociating a treaty at London, his Imperial Majesty perceived that the interests of his empire would be very ill secured' were he to permit his neighbour, the King of Sweden, at the commence ment of a war between Russia and England, to dis guise his well-known sentiments of attachment to the latter power, under the appearance of a pretended neutrality. His Imperial Majesty, therefore, cannot allow the relations of Sweden towards Russia to re main longer in a state of uncertainty. He cannot give his consent to such a neutrality. ~ His Swedish Majesty's intentions being there fore no longer doubtful, nothing remained for his Imperial Majesty but to resort to those means which PROVIDENCE has placed in his hands, for no other pur pose except that of giving protection and safety to his dominions ; and he has deemed it right to notify this intention to the King of Sweden, and to all Europe. 64 Having thus acquitted himself of that duty, which the safety of his dominions requires, his Impe rial Majesty is ready to change the measures he is about to take, to measures of precaution only, if the King of Sweden will, without delay, join Russia and Denmark in shutting the Baltic against England until the conclusion of a maritime peace. He himself in vites the King, his Brother-in-law, for the last time, and with all the feelings of real friendship, no longer to hesitate in fulfilling his obligations, and in embracmg the only system of policy which is consistent with the interests of the Northern Powers. What has Sweden gained since her King attached himself to England ? " Nothing could be more painful to his Imperial Majesty than to see a rupture take place between Sweden and Russia. But his Swedish Majesty has it still in his power to prevent this event by, without de lay, resolving to adopt that course which can alone preserve a strict union and perfect harmony between the two States. " took at St. Petersburgh, Feb. 10, 1008." The Swedish Ambassador is still here, and was this I day present at the ball given at the Court ; but the march of troops, at the head of which is Prince Papkra. -lion, continues without interruption towards Finland: PARIS, MARCH It. The Conservative Senate has this day held a Meet ing, under the Presidency of the Prince Arch-Chan. cellor. His Highness notified at this Meeting se veral Imperial Statutes and Decrees, by which, in virtue of the Senatus-Consultum of the 18th of Au gust, 1806, various titles of Princes, Dukes, Counts, Barons, and Knights of the French Empire have been decreed. All the great Dignitaries of the Em pire have been raised to the rank of Princes, and their eldest sons are to be entitled Dukes. The Ministers, Senators, and Counsellors of State, are to retain for their life, as well as the President of the Legis lative Body, the rank of Counts. The first President and the Imperial Procurateur at the Court of Cas sation, the first President and the Imperial Procu rateur at the Chamber of Accounts, are Barons. The same title is given to the first Presidents and Imperial Procurateurs of the Court of Appeal, but not till they shall have filled their offices tea years, and the Emperor shall have issued an express decree for that purpose. In like manner, after three years service, the Presidents of the Departmental Electoral Assemblies, and the Mayors of 37 great towns, who were present at the Emperor's Coronation, partake of the rank of Barons. The Members of the Depart mental Electoral Assemblies, who possess an income of 15,000 francs, may be created Barons by an ex press decree of the Emperor. All the Members of the Legion of Honour are to assume the title of Knights (Chevaliers.) The Emperor reserves to himself the raising by special decrees, to the rank of Dukes, Counts, and Barons, those of his Generals, and other of his Military and Civil Officers as he shall deem worthy of this honour. Other Imperial decrees determine in what manner these titles may pass over to the eldest branches of the families. This new Nobility confers nothing but honour, and gives no right or privilege before the law. In the Mediterranean, an incident occurred, which adds to the offences Great Britain has committed against Russia. A Russian vessel, on board of which were the Members of the last Government of the lonian Republic, was lately captured by English cruizers. The crew and passengers were sent to Malta, and treated as prisoners of war. The latest intelligence from St. Petersburgh informs us, that the Emperor of Russia purposes to consider all the Eng lish subjects who are in his States, as hostages, res ponsible for the freedom and safety of the persons who have been taken in the aforesaid vessel. His Serene Highness the Prince of Neufchatel was yesterday married to the Princess Maria Elizabeth, daughter of Duke William of Bavaria. M. Blanche, Secretary of the French embassy to the Porte, who was last year sent on a mission to the King of Persia, was attacked and plundered at the &stance of 30 days journey from Constantinople, and was in danger of losing his life. The 6 per cent. consols are at 83 francs 75 centimes. BARCELONA, FEB. 4. The President of Commerce in this city has'received the copy of a letter, from the Marine Prefect of Toulon to the Marine Commission at Marseilles, dated January 20, which is to the following effect: " SIR-I had addressed to the Minister some observations re-.' spotting the execution of the Order of the 24th of December last, to which I have received the following answer: " I approve of your not having extended the commands cons tained in the order of the 24th of December, to prevent the sail. ing of the vessels of the Danes, Spaniards, Dutch, and other allies, to those vessels which lie in the French harbours of the Mediter ranean, except those which were bound to a very distant port. — You can therefore permit the flags of the allied Powers to sail; but they are to be only used in the coasting trade. In consequence of these new arrangements, the Spanish, Italian, Roman, and Nea politan vessels which arrive in our harbours are not to be preven ted from returning to their harbours, or to continue their voyage to the harbours of our allies, provided they do not depart from the coast. You can, therefore, allow them the same liberty as before the receipt of my orders of the 3d. This coasting trade is to be understood of all the Spanish and Italian ports, and of all the vessels returning to or from our ports. Neither the Danes nor the Dutch are accustomed to carry on this navigation, and nothing is determined as to them : should, nevertheless, any of these be em ployed in this navigation, you will be pleased to give me notice of it, and hear my determination." FLORENCE, FEBRUARY 17. The French have established strong posts on the Capitol of Rome, and other principal places. It is also asserted, that the Monte Marino on the other side of the Tiber, beyond Rome, is to be fortified by them. NAPLES, FEBRUARY 24. The campaign in Calabria is ended. The English have been driven from the last point which they pos sessed on the continent of Italy. On the 17th inst. our troops, after a strong cannonade which lasted six days, took possession of Fort Scylla-1000 prisoners of war, 50 pieces of artillery, and considerable ma gazines are fallen into the hands of the conquerors. The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded is very great. According to report, this happy incident has been followed by another of still greater success. It is, for instance, affirmed that French troops have landed at Milazzo, a little town in Sicily, on a peninsula about eight leagues to the North-west of Messina. A few days will shew whether this last intelligence is true, and whether it perhaps stands in connection with the movements of the French fleet. SUABIA, MARCH 4. West-India cotton has been bought up in the South of Germany, for France and Switzerland, by which the stock of it is so melted away, that it is not to be had for any money. The cotton of the Levant is at present sold at Augsburgh and Ratisbon, for 160 to 170 florins the hundred weight. FROM THE MAIN, MARCH 4. The Frankfort and other Papers say, that since the Court of Rome raised obstacles against joining the common cause against England, the P a p a l Ambassa dors, who were at Paris on occasion of the German Concordat, were ordered by the Emperor to return to Rome. The Cardinal Bayanne alone was per mitted to remain on account of ill health. HAMBURGH, MARCH kl. The Prince of Ponte Como arrived here on Wed nesday, and proceeded by the way of Lubeck to Stralsund. Letters from Copenhagen state, that all necessary measures have been taken for the security of the coasts against hostile attacks, and also for the vigorous prosecution of the war.. It is supposed, that some time must yet elapse before affairs be brought to a decision between Russia and Sweden. A Cou rier was lately sent to Petersburgh by the Russian Minister at Stockholm, and every thing depends upon the answer he may bring. FLUSHING, MARCH' s. Those inhabitants, who, since the cession rf th town to France, have emigrated, are summoned by Proclamation to return within three months. FROM THE DANUBE, FEB. 22. Czerni Ceorges has commanded his advanced guard, in the strictest manner, to testily all possible respect to the advanced guard of the French troops on the frontiers of Bosnia and Albania. r.eißmitmEvriiß r PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 22. A private bill was brought up from the Commons, and the bills on the table were forwarded in th e i r re. spective stages. PETITIONS. The Earl of BVCIINGHAMS.HI RE moved, that the House should go into a Committee to t a k e into consideration the Orders in Council, for the pa r , pose of enabling the different Petitioners against such Orders, to be heard by Counsel, according to the forms of the House. Lord HAW KESBURY considered the proceedir g irregular, as the Ncble Lord had not given previou, notice of his motion. ..A conversation ensued upon the subject b e t ween Lords Grenville, Harrowby, Erskine, Auckland, and Westmorland, after which the Noble Earl consented to withdraw his motion. Lord HOLLAND moved for a note transmitted from the American Government to the British Mi n i. stry, respecting the conduct of British officers toward s American vessels. After a few observations from Lord Hawko v ,, y. the motion was agreed to. Lord LAUDERDALE rose to make his motion against the Commercial Policy of the Orders in Conn. cil. In a speech of considerable length, the Noble Lord argued against the prinriplp. a. o. ders had issued ; and contended, that they would ul. timately destroy our commercial interests with Arne. rica, and the general prosperity of the country. H e concluded by moving eight Resolutions, directed against the justice and policy of the Orders in Conn. dl, as they appeared to his Lordship to distress the commercial interest of this country, and as they see. med calculated to depress. our character :4 the estima. tion of civilized nations. . Lord BATHURST, in a speech cf considerable length, commented upon each of the Resolutions pre. posed by the Noble Lord who had spoken last; but as the principal facts and arguments on which this de. bate proceeded have already been laid in detail before the Public, we deem it unnecessary here to repeat them. Lord KING and Lord GRENVILLE spoke against the Orders in Council. Lord HAWKESBURY defended the conduct of Administration, in issuing the Orders in Council. Lord LAUDERDALE explained.

Sir C. POLE, pursuant to notice, called the atten. tion of the House to some appointments on the esta• blishtnent of this Hospital, in which due regard was not had to the preference which ought to be shewn to persons who had served in the navy. He cited ail the commissions relative to Greenwich Hospital, from the first under William and Mary, to shew, that such 4 preference ought always to be given. He concluded with moving an address to his Majesty, praying, that he would be graciously pleased to give directions, that all the appointments belonging to the said Hospital should henceforth be filled with persons who had set. red in the navy. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 1 said it must be the object of every one to promote, as ' much as possible, what the Honourable Baronet was desirous to accomplish. But there were offices for which persons properly qualified could not be found in the Navy, such as Clerk for the Works, who should be an architect ; Auditor, who should be a lawyer; 1 Oiganist, Brewer, Clerk of the Cheque, !Surveyor, and some others. With these exceptions, he thought no other office should be filled otherwise than from the Navy, except when, after a month's notice in the `Newspapers, no Naral person should present him self with proper qualifications to fill the office vac ant. He should propose an amendment, adopting the Howe rable Baronet's idea, with this limitation, and he sh ould in the event cf the amendment being adopted, pea pose an address to his Majesty, praying that he vmuld cause a corresponding alteration to be made in the Charter of Greenwich Hospital. Mr. WHI rB READ observed, that there were rerY few professions or situations, from that of Lord Ch an ' cellor downwards, (alluding to Lord' Erskine) in which persons who had served in the Navy may not Le found. He had now a very meritorious person in his own employment who had so served. He theta' fore thought the exceptions ought to be omitted. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Iwas willing to limit the exceptions as much as pos sible, but he thought it would be imposing useless trouble on the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital to make them advertise for an Auditor, a Clerk of the Works, or a Brewer, from the Navy.
