Certain Papers will be moved for in the House of Commons this eve►ung with a view to bring the Tr:a►y with Sseden more lully under discussion.— . Ia the me=►n tirrp, Ministers are not wanting in their etid-:tv curs to ci.nciliate Denmark, for an English and a Swedish Negotiator arrived at Copenhagen on the lst inst. to attempt once more an adjustment of d; iferences. On the subject of the Treaty with Sweden, it is now argued, that by the law of nations Great Britain has no right to cede Guadaloupe—That is, Guada loupe should have been retained till a - peace with France, without which this country cannot resort in any treaty to the status quo. But has not France long trewed the former usage of nations with contempt ? TAk to NAPOLEON of his having acted contrary to the law of Nations in giving the territories of others to his new made Kings—Would he keep his gravity ? As to the subsidy paid to Sweden, it is certainly not a desiroble thing that specie should be sent out of the kingdom, if it could be avoided ; but that is only a part of the question. Is it desirable that Swe den should act in concert with the Allies ? Is it de. eirable that we should have the Swedish ports open to our Trade ? In one word, whether is the friend ship or enmity of Swedvir most desirable ? Paris Parrs to the 10th, communicating very im portant intelligence, have been received in town. They contain two additional dispatches from the French A: Ply, b:inging down the operations to the 31st ult. at night. Tile Russian, Pru.sian, and French Generals had a long conference of 18 hours at a Con y, nt near Liegnitz, and separated on the 30th at five in the afternoon. On the next day, at night, they met again, and renewed theie ccavrences Striegau. All doubt of their having ;:n ARMISTICE for their object is at an end. But Still BONAPARTE avoids speaking with any deci sion, confining himself to on dits—they say that such and such things have been done, as if he could be ig norant of what has been done, " The principle of an Armistice, they say, 66 has been agreed upon, but it does appear that they are not agreed upon the limits that are to form the line of demarcation." These are the expres sions used in a dispatch to the Empress, dated at night on the 31st ultimo. One private letter from the French coast states, that an armistice had actually been concluded. On the 31st ult. BONAPARTE was at Newmarkt, and hlav and Lauctisrou at Lissa, a short distance from Breslaw, which LauntsroN entered next day. There has been a battle between MORTIER'S divi sion and General Bueow, who attacked him cn the 28th at Hoyerswerda. tleanett had been detached - to march upon Berlin, but Bueow, who had advanced from the neighbourhood of Berlin, suddenly appeared on the Schwarz Elste, at Senftenberg, and fell upon him. MORTIER'S report claims a victory, and says he is still in pnrsuit of the Prussiar,s : 'but he mentions no prisoners, or cannon, and he says he is still detained at Hoyerswerda, waiting for Gaureae's division. A large convey of artillery, on its way to the French army, took a wrong road, and was attacked with success " by the enemy's Partisans between Zwickau and Chemnitz." BONAPARTE expresses much anger upon the sabject. General PoINsOT, coming from Brunswick with a regiment of cavalry, was attacked near Halle, and made prisoner v,ith part of his men. The left bank of the Elbe is so infested by the par tisans of the Allies, that BONAPARTE has found it necessary to send the Duke of PADUA with a large body of cavalry to clear it. The intelligence by the Lisbon Mail of Saturday formally announced the opening of the campaign, urn the plan whiCh we laid before our Readers on Tuesday lag, upon the authority of our private let- tett. The campaign has already eottuneneed, under the most favourable auspices. Lord WELLINGTON'S force is little short of 100,000 men. The British apd Portuguese amount to 70 or 80,000 men, 10,000 of which are cavalry; and the Spaniards actually in the r field cannot be less than 30,000. A Lisbon Paper calculates the force of the enemy opposed to the Allies at 55,000 infantry, and 7000 horse; but this is perhaps too low an estimate. Lord WEL LINGTON% army consists, as we have already stated, of three divisions. The centre, composed entirely of light troops, is commanded by Lord WILLINGToN in wson. The right, under Sir ROWLAND HILL, is moving in a parallel direction with his Lordship, on the left bank of the Douro. In the mean time, the Main' body of the army, under Sir THOMAS GRAHAM, was to proceed along the right bank of the river, and clear it of the enemy; and by this judicious move ment, the necessity of forcing the passage of the Douro, at all times an arduous and sanguinary en terprize, is entirely superseded. The whole army was expected to join at Valladolid on the Bth. Two Heligoland Mails arrived this morning ; but they bring no intelligence from the Elbe later than the 3d of June. The following are French accounts, and are therefore to be received with caution. We were previously acquainted with the particulars through other channels. " ALTONA, JUNE 3. " Alterations of importance have taken place in our neighbourhood since Sunday the 30th of May. Hamburgh on that day again became subject to his Imperial Majesty Napoleon, and was taken posses sion of by the French troops. A stillness of some days, in which nothing new was undertaken by either party, preceded this great catastrophe. The Swedish troops had left the city already on the Wednesday, and on Friday after they also quitted Bergedorf, a place two German miles from hence, only General Von Boyer, with his Staff, remaining behind in it. N,:vertheless the means of defence were indefatigably attended to by the Russian General Von Tettenborn, and the entrenchments thrown up at the gates were nearly completed, and the cannon planted in them. " He had, in the mean time, transferred his head quarters to a place'close to the borders of the Danish district of Reinbeck, called the Lilsen Heller. " In the night between Friday and Saturday the French took possession of Ochsenwerder, which is separated from the main land only by a small arm of the Elbe. Hereupon, in the same night, a new heavy cannonade commenced against the city, which continued from half past two, till near four o'clock, during which many grenades fell into the street, which, though they did not set fire to the houses, yet did considerable damage to the buildings, and which was answered with considerable vigour on the Russian side, by heavy artillery. 46 On Saturday, the 29th, the Schleswick . regi ment of infantry, four battalions strong, marched into Altona, under the command of Colonel Von Cas toneer, and on the same day many flags of truce were sent b tckiords and forwards. In the following night the continued movements of the Danish sAdiery, the bringing up a considera ble train of batieting artillery, and the ordnance riding to and fio, made Altona very unquiet. 44 Very few of ;lie inhabitants ventured to go to sleep in the night, being in anNious 'expectation of what was to take place. Next morning we were in formed that General Tettenborn had made knov.sn to the inhabitants of Hamburgh, that on account of the approaching superiority of numbers, he could not de fend the city, and that therefore lie departed with the remainder of his own and the greater part of the new raised troops on the road to Berofdorff. The Burghers were then required, by an Adjutant of the Prince of Eckinulil, to by down their arms, to submit to his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon, and till the arrival of French corps of troops for the maintenance of good order and tranquility, to receive a Danish garrison , within their walls. 44 These conditions were accepted, and towards noon a considerable corps of Danish troops, infantry, cavalry, and artillery entered the city, the command of which was given, for the present, to Colonel Von Waldak. The same evening the French troops ex pected entered the city, and the Danish military again retired to Altona. The French Author ities have from this date in general entered on their func tions, and the city now enjoys thorough repose and tranquillity. 44 Yesterday, by orders of the Prefect Baron de Breteuil, the citizens were obliged to surrender their arms and ammunition. " That in the last unquiet weeks, great numbers of the peaceable inhabitants have left the city, or at least sent away their families from it, is natural to suppose ; but it is not to be doubted, that when peace and quiet are become thoroughly restored, at least the greater part of them will return again—Harnburgh having, in this short time, lost perhaps one-fourth.part of its inhabitants. " His Royal Majesty has appointed Lieutenant- Colonel d'Aubert to be Commandant of our city." " COPENHAGEN, JUNE 1. • : 16 Prince Christian Frederick, on the Ist of last month, landed at Havaldunen, in Norway, from whence he proceeded in a row-boat to Frederickstadt, and thence, on the 22d in the afternoon, to Christian- • - CORUNNA PAPERS Coruna Papers to the sth of June inclusive have arrived. The following are extracts : " CORUNNA, MAY so. " The French are retiring from Villa Manan and Benevente, and all the other garrisons of Castile ; and even, it is said, from Madrid; and falling back upon Valladolid." " CORU4NA, JUNE 5. Our armies are rapidly advancing, and the French are retiring towards Burgos, ►here it is ex pected they probably will make a stand, in the event of which we confidently expect a repetition of the glorious day of Arepiles. 44 AU accounts agree in stating, that the whole of the Allied force is in the highest state of discipline, and burning with enthusiastic ardor to encounter the enemy. May their efforts be successful ! But how can any doubt be entertained on this head, when it is recollected they are conducted by a Wellington ?" " SANTIAGO, JUNE 1. * 8 They Write from Alicant, that the Allies are disposed to advance, and that Suchet is already pre paring for a hasty retreat from Valencia. " 4 The French again returned to Toledo, and pro ceeded as far as Albirehe in pursuit of El Medico, who has joined Temprano and Cuest.t. 44 The army, which is proceeding by La Mancha consists of 15,000 infantry, and 1.500 horse." By the private letters received this morning from Heligoland, we learn that the Danes and French had made an attempt to carry Lubec, in which they were defeated by the S xedes and Russians. By the same conveyance Hamburgh letters have also been re ceived, from which it appears that the communica tion is as yet open, and, it is added, that the French were likely soon to depart from that city. His MAJcsry remains in the same state of trap• quillity as notified in the Bulletin of Monday se'n night. His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, accom panied by Sir T. TYRWHITT, paid a visit to his Royal Mother and Sisters at Windsor, on Saturday, and on his return his ROYAL HIGHNESS called on the Duke of CLARENCE at Bushey, who is something better. Her MAJEi'Y and the Princesses heard Divine Service, yesterday, in private, in the Castle ; and in the afternoon the Royal Party took tea in Frogmore Gardens. Yesterday the Rev. Mr. I3INGnAm delivered a dis. course before the Duke of CAMBRIDGE and the Nobi. hty, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, from Psalms lxxiii. v. 25.—" Whom have I in Heaven hot thee? and there is none upon eat th that I desire beside thee." Her Royal Highness the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES attended Divine Service, yesterday, at. the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The Princess CHARLOTTE took an airing on Satur day in her carriage, for about two hours. The Princess of WAVLES Was at the Opera on Sa turday night. The house was most splendid. The revived Ballet of The Deserter was given with great effect. '1 be Duchess of Yontt attended Divine Service yesterday, at the Military Chapel, Whitehall.. The Duke of YORK vi,ited the PRINCE REGENT yesterday. Tun atca.—Kensingtan Gardens and Hyde- Pork were yesterday brilliantly and fashi , niably at tended. The latter, lrbwever, by a strange perver sion of taste, had to boast of the most numerous class of visitants.—Among the most conspicuous in the throng we observed— he Dukes of Kent, Sussex. and Cambridge ; Earls Liverpool, Grey, Galloway, and Lauderdale; the Marquis of Lansduven, Count Munster, Lures Ca.tlereagn, Kirkwall, Newai K, stone, Desart, and harrynnire ; the Spanish Ambassador, the Russian Ambassador, Colonel IVl.Mahoo, &c. &c. 'I he Duchesses of York and the Marchionesses of Devonshire and Lans downe; Ladies Castlereagh and Jersey, and a lung list of belles of the first rate daub. -- -.- Monday last the electi ,, n of a Mayor for the year ensuing came on at Not wick.. At the close of the Poll the num bers were—for Mr. LEMON 797, Mr. DAVEY 801, Mr. Ham/ ey 749. The two first were rouse .cpiently returned to the Court of Aldermen, who, on Thursday last, elected Mr. B. LEMON. His Excellency the Duke DE MONTELLANO, the Spanish Ambassador, arrived at Portsmouth, on Fri day, front London, and made a visit to the Dock yard. Saturday morning his Excellency went on hoard the Spanish frigate Sabina, at Spithead, under the fornis due to his exalted station, and pArtook of a cold collation with the Spanish Commodore. The Sabina is about to return to Cadiz, having had a thorough repair at I'ortsmcuth Dock-yard. Dr. NCTLY, who was wounded in the left arm on Tuesday morning last, in a duel with Mr. M‘BitertE rox, was obliged to undergo amputation, and is now in a fair way of recovery. The House of Assembly, J , maica, met on the 27th of April, for the transaction of business. The House of Assembly of . Anti4ua was, in April, abruptly dissolved by the Captain General, in conse quenLe of a disagreement between the members rela tive to voting the supplies. Specie is very scarce in the West India Islands, and many advertisers in the colonial papers, who ale com pelled to make remittances to this country, offer for it a premium of from 8 to 10 per cent. A lamentable circumstance took place at Ardsheal Pen, near Morant Bay, Jamaica, on the 12th April : Mr. Phillips, the proprietor of that place, had a few neighbours with him, among whom was Mr. Joseph Irving, with whom Mr. Phillips had some dispute, during which the •' lie direct" was given, and at length they came to blows. Mr. Irving ran out of the house, and Mr. Phillips followed him ; but before the rest of the party could reach them, he had run Irving through the body with a sword. An inquest was held on the body, when the Jury returned a ver dict of Wilful Murder against Joseph Phillips, for whose apprehension the Coroner bas offered a reward of elfloo. kbillirs is a Jew. THE ARMY. The troops recently embarked at itimsgate are, we conjecture, destined to co-operate with the Cunwx PRINCE of SWEDEN. They consist of the Sd Regi. ment of German Hussars, twn Troops of Gomm Horse Artillery, and a troop of mounted Rocketmen. and amount to about 1200 well-appointed men, and an equal number of horses. A detachment of Artillery Drivers is now at Wool wich, waiting an order, which is daily expected, tc, embark for the Peninsula. We are of opinion, tlic all reinforcements proceeding thither at present, should be disembarked at Corunna, The 4th Dragoons have sailed from the Downs fa Hull, under convoy of *Cie CYGNET sloop of war.
