DISMISSAL OF TpiE FRENCH AMBASSADOR FROM SWEDEN. Copy of a Letter from M. De Cobre, Charge D'Afalres from his Majesty the Emperor of the Frendt, King of Italy, at the Court of Stockholm, to Ma Excellency the Baron D'Enger strom, Chief Minister of State to his Swedish Majesty, dated Stockholm, December St, tete. " The under signed Charge d'Affaires of his Ma jesty the Ernpcn:)r of the French, King of Italy, has received the official Note, which his Excellency M. the Baron D'Engerstrom addressed to him yesterday, the 20th of December, in which it is stated in sub stance— That his Swedish Majesty having Igt vain awaited an expla nation rotative to the entrance of the French into. Potnerania., re lative to the removal of the King's Officers to Magdeburg, and the capture of Swedish ships by French eruizers, his Majesty has ordered his Minister of State and of Foreign Affairs, to declare to the Underyign,...l, that, his preaence at Stockholm being alto gether useless, his Majesty desire, that the Undersigned shall quit Sweden as soon as possilde, and that be should, at ahe same tame, be furnished with the passports necessary for his voyage.' 46 The undersigned •conceives it unnecessary to ' dwell upon the imputation contained in the said offi-. • cial Note, insinuating that his Majesty the Emperor and King had acted contrary to the faith of treaties. It would be easi for the undersignel to refute this -,. charge, by recalling the conditions of the treaty con. chided at Paris on the 6th of January ; and proving, b facts, that Sweden has not fulfilied, in any one the obligations imposed by her engagements 4 'That instrument, although France had ahewn ' l ithe most zealous desire to restore to her that same ' Pomerania which had been conquered by the Impe rial and Royal arms in the List war. 66 The Undersigned has to observe, that it has ver, either verbally or by writing, been noti fi ed. to .. t his diplomatic relations would be suspend .l he had given a categorical answer to the ex , • ' tions demanded of him by the Swedish Ministry. • ois Excellency the Minister of State and of Foreign Affairs, in his letter of the 7th of September last, ad. dressed to the Charge d'Aff.iires of France, limits himself to datianding of the Undersigned, 6 Vibe " ;her he is in Sweden as the agent of a friendly or hostile Pewee—declaring at the same time to the Undersigned, that his conunuance in the States of his Swedish Majesty, depends on the answer' which he shall find himself prepared to give to this question. r a With respect to the principal object of the offiCial _Note from his Excellency the Minister of State and of Foreign Ag4iis, the Undersigned will not lose a moment to bring it ander the cognizance of his Court; but it depends not upon him to Gory the desire of his Swedish Majesty, On the contrary, it is his duty to declare, that he will never consent to abandon the post which the Emperor and King, his august Master, has deigned to confide to him, before he shall have obtained bis Imperial and Royal Majesty's orders to that effect. • But if his Swedish Majesty, in virtue of his sove reign rights, will cause it to be signified to the Under . signet, sfcially and in writing, that he will no longer permit his residence in Sweden, the Undersigned, conceiving that under these circumstances he will only be yielding to force, will not hesitate to avail himself, with the shortest possible delay, of the pass . port which he has now the honour to send back here with to his Excellency M. the Baron d'Engerstrom, Minister of State and of Foreign Affairs ; because, pll the existence of the circumstances which he has specified, it will be impossible for him to make use of it, and, therefore, to no purpose to keep it. 0 The undersigned has the honour to be, &c.

Your diplomatic character having now ceased. you will find yourself, Sir, in the situation of all ordinary foreigners ' • and, consequently, subject to the execu tion of all the orders which the Police may find it necessary to give respecting et:. The Chief Go vernor of that department, to whom reports, very little to your advantage, have been made respecting you, has received orders to make you quit the capital within 24 hours.

The last Gottenburgh Mails, among other interest ing articles, have put us. in possession of a series of interesting documents, connected with the state of the relations between Sweden and France. Not a doubt can now remain, in the breast of any rational being, that war.-open, undisguised war—will now be waged by Sweden against France. The docu ments vc ith which we this day present our Readers relate to the dismissal of the French Ambassador from Stockholm t • an - vent which was attended with ctrcumstances unprecedented in the annals of diplo macy. This Ambassador, Monsieurde CABRE, re fused to leave Stockholm until he was , 4 ordered by Iris august Emperor." This is the first time that the right of removing an Ambassador was attempted to be confined to the person wbo sent him. A Swedish Police 01.§cer conducted M. de CAnaL out of the country, and he travelled, therefore, like a felon, for whom no passports were necessary. The length of the Debate compels us to limit our extracts of to-day to the official documents above alluded to. We shall, in the course of our next week's publication, give the remainder; which will comprize the minutes of some most furious and in temperate declamations against England and Sweden by BONAPARTE, uttered in several interviews with the Swedish Ambassador at Paris. A private vessel has arrived from the Baltic, with advices two days later than those received by the last Gottenburgh Mails. We are again informed by this opportunity that Denmark was about to join with Sweden and Russia against France. The circum stance highly pi obable : the following is one of the lean; 'alluded to : " 1 - IELSINGBURGET, YEBRUARY.I3. " Four Commissioners are employed busily at Co. penhagen, in concluding a friendly treaty : the one is Swedish, another Danish, a third British, and the fourth ipssian. N Atiltltt - Aas declared her purpose, which is to maintather neutrality, protecting her territories at 'the same time by au army of 500.000 men." By. the same vessel we have received accounts from Altoua; of the Russians having completely in vested Dantzic, having crossed the Vistula and Nogat, at all points, on the ice. They had previously beaten and driven into the fortress, the shattered . remains of the French fugit,ives collected by GRANDJZAN. The few surviving companies of the Imperial Guards fled iu the direction of Posen. WINDSOR. F.EBRIMRT 25. Yesterday the Duke of CAMBRIOGI completed his 39th year, but the day was sot observed by the Royal Family, although his Royal Highness and the Duke of KENT were here, supposed to be owing to the QUEEN'S being indisposed, His Royal Highness of Comm= accompanied Princesses ELIZARITTI: and MART, in walking to Frogmore, where he mounted his horse, and started for Londoh. Yesterday the Princess CHARLOTTE'S saddle-horses and baggage were sent from the Lower Lodge to London, frum which it is inferred that her Royal Highness is not speedily returning again to this place. FEL 22.—The QUERN still continues conkned to the Castle by indisposition ; and, it is thought, win not be able to hold a Drawing-room next week, as expected, No meetings of the Cabinet Ministers tools place iyesterday ; nor were any summonses issued for such an eveht to take place this day. It was currently reported on 'Change yesterday, that an agreement for an exchange of prisoners is at length concluded between the French and British Governments, on the basis of man for man. The Hon. Mr. and Mrs. COCHRANE are arrived at their house in Portman-square, from Edinburgh. A Biographical List of the present House of Com mons has just appeared; the object of which is merely to furnish, in a conveniont Manual, a short account of the Members of that Assembly, and to assist in forming an opinion, in times so momentous, of the probable progress and wisdom of their future measures. The Vice Chancellor's Bill, as amended in the Com . - mittee in the Commons, allots to that officer £5OOO per annum out of the dead fund in Chancery, and £2500 per annum out of the fees of the LOAD CHAN- , CELLOR, making the whole salary R 7,500 a-year....... Out of the dead fund also, £2OO per annum, is to be paid to the Vice . Chancellor's Secretary ; 4100 to his Trainbearer ; and £BO to his Usher. In the sittings of the Committee for trying the merits of the Bristol Election, yesterday, Mr. HUNT, the petitioning Candidate, opened his case in a speech of great length, having employed no Counsel. His charges are, the giving of money, and promising of gifts and rewards for Votes, on the last General Elec tion; and be pledged himself to prove the same to a greater extent dr..n had ever been made out before any Committee of the House of Commons.

The following is an extract of a letter from a Gen tleman in India to his sister in London, dated May 20, 1812 I must now relate to you a most shock ing accident that happened the other day, and of which I was an eye-witness, that happened at Pondi cherry. Almost every part of this coast abounds with sharks. It has been the daily custom for seve ral weeks, that four or five.young officers have, for their amusement, obtained a katamaran, passed the Pondicherry surf, and gone afloat for several miles. This kind of imprudent amusement was by many in habitants frequently remonstrated against; and they were as generally answered, We are not afraid, or something to that effect. However, one afternoon, these youths went, as usual, afloat ; the katamaran upset, either on the surf or just over it, when a Lieu tenant MILLAR, of the Company's service, was seized in the leg by a shark, from which he miraculously extricated himself; and another gentleman, named Lieutenant Facto, of the cavalry, was instantly sei zed, and lacerated in a manner too shocking for mei to relate, or you to listen to. A native who went to conduct the katamaran, succeeded in securing Lieu. tenant Facto: he just lived to be laid on the sandy_ beach, and then expired; he was buried the follow ing morning at sunrise. Lieutenant MILLAR was brought home, had his wounds dressed, and one sew ed up, and I understand is now doing well." The following is an account of the duty changed on Leather, taken from the Papers laid before the House of Commons ; SINGLE TAX. Quarter ending 10th October, 1811. 499,548 12 8 Quarter ending Sch January, 1812. 84,147 19 10 DOUBLE TAX. Quarto:* ending 10th October, 1812. 4180,286 0 Quarter ending Sth January, 1813. 137,023 19 3 By the above statement, it appears the duties since the Double Tax took place, have gradually fallen eff: the gross produce of the Double Tax, for the first three months, is 1-sth less than twice the amount of the Single 'fax, for the corresponding three months in the former year : and for the last three months, ending the sth of January, amounts only to 5-Bths more than the Single Tax for the corresponding three months in the former year :—and such is stated to be the situation of the Trade, from the circumstance of the Double Tax having already almost acted as a pro. hibition to the Tanning of Foreign Hides in this coun try, that when the stock of the Tanners, which was bought before the Tax took place is sold off, and after the extra expences that will b e paid by Govern. ment for Leather-goods, with the extra drawbacks on Leather exported, are deducted from the amount of the Double 'fax, the Single Tax will be proved to be more advantageous to the revenee than the Double Tax—a Tax which has already proved so destruc tive to a great Staple Manufacture, that of all others, for various reasons, should, at this time, have been spared from taxation. Thursday evening a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Windsor, boot-maker, in Prospect-place, New ington, which burnt so rapidly, that before any water could be procured, the building was entirely gutted, and it was with great difficulty the adjoining build ings were preserved. Wednesday night a respectably dressed woman, apparently in good health * dropped down in a fit, in Holborn, and immediately expired. THE ARMY. ^ ••••••••••Im. . An expedition was lately fitted out ender Culotta CiLtesele, against Palarnbang, the capit .1 o f t h e Kingdom of the same name. We have to announce the complete success of this enterprize. Thursday a fleet of transports arrived at Pun t . mouth from Lisbon, after t, very quick passage ut only eight days, with skeletons of several regiment. and sick officers. Yesterday morning the Stiff • colours of the 2d battalion of the 44th Regime:. were landed, under the command of Colonel H DING, and marched for the depot at Northam. Ti.i gallant regiment has been several years in the Penis and has suffered much in every general engage merit they lost several officers and 4 number of mem at the storming of Badajoz ; end the corntaancliit officer, thu Hon. Colonel CA TILTON O was Strete!y wounded. At Salamanca, Colonel HanniNG, wi,o commanded the battalion, was also wounded, at:d several officers killed ; here that gallant young offi cer, Lieutenant PIIRCE, took one of the French eagle:. which was sent home with the others, and lodged ni Whitehall : they also lost some officers and men in the retreat from Burgos, which was covered by th. it division.—As this is a favourable regiment with the Worcester, Hereford, and some other militia regi. ments, it will soon get recruited again at the volun teering, under suck zealous officers. A detachment of the•Slst regiment, or (M;i4l and Corunna Heroes) l ., have embarked at Ports. mouth, consisting of six Of and 70-men, to joiq the Ist battalion of that regiment at Alicant, now serving with tise army under the command of Lord WILLIAM BEIITINCE ; the Ist battalion will then be upwards of 1,200 men. elf A letter by the last mail from the Peninsula, says, " Lord WELLINGTON is straining every nerve to render the army elective, and to bring them early into the ' field—the sick are recovering tar. Some regiments have got their cloathing, and arms and accoutre ments have been supplied to those who wanted them. Our brave fellows are burning with ardour to meet the enemy again in the field, and retrace our steps to Burgos. Notwilhstanding the late-state of the army, aP. appears gaiety ; those at the out-posts, who are nearly in contact with the enemy, have constructed a 'Theatre in an old Chapel, painted a set of scenery, and procured dresses. The performers are officers, who play twice a week. Inclosed I send you one of their play The 2d division have also their Theatre—Lord F. The 2d division have also their Theatre—Lord F. SSNCER is the principal per former? We leain from the deserters who come in, that these things, as well as *Lord WELLINGTON'S having commenced hunting twice week immediately after the retreat, perfpctly astonish the French, who did not look for such fang livid, in the British cha racter. Moreover, the general belief in the French army was, that we were quite discomfited, and une qual to another campaign, and that we should retire to our lines." . 9 " LINEIT DIVISION TrItATEE I GALLE0,11.....012 M 011027 tbe lath 'January, Ist s, will be performed, the Comedy .of Ski Shifts to_Cairair; WV" Afittaite IILANATII 11 , 211NENIL " MlN. —Sir Mirk" Marlow Captain Andrews, Oft rag% Young Marlow, Captain Beckwittt, Nth regiment; Hankaitle, Major Napier, 434 regiment; Heating% Liettron, 434 refit. ; Tony Lutripkin, Capt.

Mr. Romeo Coins was in the uaspbox, to see his celebrated doable. Mr. MAT:IIIMS, in Romeo &mull. and was one of the most delighted applauders of his inimitable performance. The eccentric but benevolent Mr. Was, wbo was lately so liberal at Norwich and Yarmouth, last week passed through Debenharn to Framliogham, where he gave away 4400, and on Thursday sennight ar rived at Ipswich, where he continued the same liberal conduct. Four country lads appeared in their slop frocks soon after his arrival, whom he had directed to meet him at Ipswich • he then cloathed them in handsome suits of clothes ; for one he purchased a watch' of la value, and regaled them during their stay with sandwiches, jellies, &c. In the inn-yard he met a chimney sweeper's boy, desired the hostler to spunge his face, that hemight see what he was, and gave him a ,e 5 note. On Sunday morning he at. tended divine service at St. Nicholas, to hear the Rev. Mr. Emma preach, and in the evening accom panied the Rev. Mr. GRIFFIN to St. Peter's Church. To Mr. ALEXANDZity the banker, he gave £lOO to bestow in charity, and several of the Clergymen he entrusted with considerable sums for the same pur pose. He left Ipswich on Monday morning for Colchester, which place he declared should have 4600 of his liberality.
