The First Division of our ricer. under Sir Siono , Fool) is arrived in the Sound ; previous to the arrival of nhieb the Dictator, of 64. guns, and several frigates and smaller ships of war, had reached the same des tination; and those, joined to the three sail of the line and ad= men of war which wintered in the Baltic, constitute a formidable Naval force, the presence of which has diffused a general satisfaction among the Swedes, who now deem themselves secure from the threatened invasion of the French and Danes. The remaining intelligence brought by these Mails, relates principally to the concerns of Sweden and her clunks, and on the whole it is quite as favourable to our gallant ally as we could have expected. The Russian army has been augmented to 60,000 men, and the Swedes have found it necessary to retrent.-..- Bat this appears to have produced no impressian upon the mind of the King. H e has called out all the I force of his dominions by a conscription, which in. etudes all men of every rank in the State, front lfito years of age, by which measure it is calculated tint 150,000 men will be raised. A part of the army is *arching towards Norway, where offensive mea sures are to be adopted. There is a rumour of,rein thrtements having lately been transmitted from Jut. land to Norway, but the account is by no means.clear. The Reply of the Kw° of SWEDEN to the Danish Declaration, is simple and satisfactory. The policy observed by the several Courts is unfolded in a few words. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Adml rfty from Rear Admiral Sir Eawmto Pr.z.tcw, dated on board his Majesty's ship Culloden, of 74 T r e rs, Ma eras Roads, the 19th of October, 1807. state, that he was at that time preparing to depart with five hundred troops, and sixty artillery, for t e h island of Java, with intent to attack and destroy the Dutch squadron, under the command of Admiral HART... SIVCIL. The Dutch squadron was not at Batavia, which is on the north west end of the island, but in the port of Crissey, on the eastern end. Sir EDWARD PELLEW was confident of success, and from his gallan try and experience we may expect that nothing will be left undone to effect his purpose. It is supposed the gallant Admiral will return to England mune diately after his t :spedition to Java. He had a vessl is reserve to dispatch with the result. The object of the enterprise, which has been the subject of so much speculation in the newspapers, is thus st,certained, via appears a very laudable and important undertaking. Dispatches were received on Saturday at the Ad miralty from the Mermaid frigate, stating, that on the morning of the 14th inst. she fall in with five French schooners from Dunkirk, steering Westward, close in shore, under the protection of flying artil lery. The Mermaid approached as close as possi ble,and ercedawell-directed fire, which lasted a con siderable time, and did the enemy muc}s damage. Unfortunately, however, the wind shifted with the tide, and prevented the Mermaid from effecting their total destruction. Dispatches were seat off yesterday, from the Ad miralty, to Admiral WHITSIIEAD, upon the Irish station, off Cork. They relate chiefly to the new sys 'em of signals which is shortly to be adopted by the Lary., Ternment, it is said, has Teceived information that the whole of the ships of war in Brest harbour are preparing to put to sea. It reported, there are twelve sail of the lisle in a complete state of equip ment, principally composed of Dutch and Genoese , learn. n. ---- This Morning we had accounts from Malta, that Lord COLLINGWOOD had sailed from Syracuse, Ift consequence of a report of the Commander of one o our cruisers, who thought he saw a French squadron at anchor in Tunis Bay. Sir A. BALL soon after re ceived accounts which established the mistake, and he dispatched two ships after his Lordship to apprise him of the circumstance. Our squadron in the Adriatic has experienced much kindness from the inhabitants of the Seven Islands, who have expressed their desire to co.operate with a British force in the expulsion of the French, who are not in sufficient numbers to sustain themselves against a very, moderate British Force. At Corfu they have only fifteen hundred men, at Zante only one hundred, and fifty at Cephalonia. This latter Island would be an acquisition of great value to us, as we might keep it with 500 men. The inhabitants, whO have SR) vessels, are particularly attached to the English, and means plartial to the French.
