Mr. Gk A 1 TA N spoke at considerab le lengea against • a synena which would di ice the Catholics to revert to foreign e d ueat a t eor;itea most le=ad to connections injurious to England. There could be no doubt that Lonaparte i evited them to their former establishments at Paris, with views hostile to Britain. Dr. DUIGYNAN read the Oath of the Catholic Priests, in or. do . to chew that they paid an obedience to the Pope which was inconsistent with the King's supninlacy. The provisions for the educaiion of the Establi s hed Clergy fell short of these proposed to be grantA for the Priests at Mayonoth.

The reports of the guns were generally from ten to fifteen minutes between each other ; it is not thought therefore that the firing proceeded from rejoicing. Mr. Joumom, a King's Messenger, arrived yester day at Harwich by express, and immediately pro ceeded on board the BEAUFOY packet, Capt.

The general post-office in Stockholm has given notice that his Swedish Majesty has granted leave to all Swedish merchants to correspond on lawful mer can sle transactions, with subjects of the ho••tile rowers, on condition that the letters be previously inspected and examined by the chief maghitrato of each place. APRIL 27.—A brisk cannonading was distinctly heard here the whole of the ro ght of Moaday last, which proves to have been an attack made by the English sloop Daphne, and two others, upon the, harbour of Flas trand, in Jutland, out of which they cut ten ves sels laden with corn for Norway ; and this afternoon arrived with their prizes. APRIL 25.--. Our accounts from Norway to-day in forms us that the Swedish army has advanced as far as Kongvenger, which is within ten Swedish, or 70 English miles of Christiania, and that they have possessed themselves, by storm, of two essential forts in that neighbourhood, in which they took 500 pri soners, with very little loss on their side. Some travellers have arrived within these few days from Hamburgh, who bring news down to the 15th instant. They say, that '2OOO French troops have entered Altona, and that they are in full pos session of Holstein, but thnt none of them have yct come over to Zealand, A report prevailed, when the traveller left the other side, that a great part of the Danish flotilla and transport vessels had been de stroyyd by the English ships in the Belts, but this we, rather doubt, as no official account of it has yet reached us, r noct..cuniriow OF GENERAL ARMEELLPF, ON ESTEEING NORWAY. Inhabitants of Norway ! The vanish Government has de clared war against Sweden, without any provocation on her part it has crowned the calamities which afflicted the North, and spon taneouly submitted to a foreign yoke.

Big the laws of war are carried into execu tit.n only by soldiers ; the peaceful inhabitants of the town and ct.untry, if they excite no disturbances, strallenjoy tranquillity and protection. The Swedish soldiers, celebrated for order and discipline, re spect the personal safety and property of the unarmed. Should Paov;oer ce bless Ins Majesty's army ander my com mand, so far from proving hurtful to your different trades, I shall open your ports to commerce and importation; quicken your in dustry, and secure in the North an asylum for loyalty and honour.

His Royal Highness received a courier the night before last, with dispatches from General Baron Armfeldt, which cantaia the following of the 10th and 17th of this month : M Colonel Gahn, in pursuance of his orders, which directed bim to make a diversion, detached a corps of 180 foot and chasseurs, under the orders of Co lonel Baron Cedestrom, to attack Starbokelen, to push forward as far as Nya, and to take post near that Plac e. a This detachment, however, met with so much re sistance, that General Cedestrom was obliged to fall back by retrograde movements : ,this was effected in the utmost order, and without being pursued by the enemy, notaithstanding their vast superiority of numbers. " head-quarters, Adolpbostors, April 16." 4 ' In pursuance to the order received, the advanced pard marched, under the command of Lieutenant - 1 Colonel Lagenburg, from Skillingmark, by Krock forsen, into Norway, after having driven back the enemy's troops.

" The left wing of your Majesty's army shall im mediately advance to Glomme, whenoe the next cou rier shall he dispatched. " On the frontiers the enemy made, in general, hut very little resistance.

This project was, how , ever, detected, and he and his associates are now awaiting their sentence in irons.
