The campaign in the Peninsula is once more opened, and events of the first importance may now be expected in that quarter, which the contest in the North hild for so many months reduced to a secondary rank in the public esti mation. According to Lisbon rapers, received yesterday to the 31st tilt. Lord W' ELLINGTON entered Salamanca on the i6th, and overtook the tear-guard of the enemy, from which be made sOO prisoners. JUNE 13• arms, in order to resist the spoliation of his territories, and the first consequence of this determination on hi• part, has been one, fatal to the allied cause, the reduction of Hamburgh under the Gallic yoke and the suppression of the insurrection- ary spii it in that part of Germany. If smli have hitherto been the results of the coalition formed at such an expellee with Sweden, it may be fairly questioned whether it have not produced more evil than good. Denniatk thus becomes the common enemy," and the Swedish troops may be em ployed against it alone without inflinging the terms of the treaty, and without relieving the Allies from any portion of the superior force by which they are now so closely pressed. The cession of Cuadaloupe to Sweden has been repre sented as an obstacle thrown in the way of a genera! peAce e This is a mistepresentation. By ceding the lights of conquest which we have acquired over that island, we only arm Sweden with the means of obtaining better terms in any future negoti ation with Fiance, by supplying her with an equivalent for any ptopoition of European ten itory she may find it her interest to require. Thus, should NA PO-. L coti's power revive in all its force on tl . -e Continent, Swe den might now secure the posses ion of Pomerania to'her self by exchanging Gaudalutipe fur that ancient appendage to her monarchy. From these impartial observations it will appear, that al though Mini'ters may have displaved too much confidence in the good d:spositicn of Sweden, and a liberality, inju dicious only if our Ally does not act his part faithfully, yet they have made no concession injurious to our interest , , or degrading to our honour. They have, on the contrary, by making Sweden accept Guatkloupe, wh.ely committed her still deeper with France, and made it still ino:e completely her interest to be tine to the cause in which she hits em barked, and energetic in her exertions. Y TREATY BEIWFEN ENGI.ANT) AND SWEDEN. The treaty concluded with Sweden has been laid before Parliament. It engag-es this country not to oppose the annexation of Norway to Sweden, and to co-operate b, sea with the Swedes in their attack on that country, but with an understanding that an attempt sbal not be made forcibly to obtain Norway, unless Denmark refuses to join the Al liance of the I>orth. It contracts to give Sweden an an nual subsidy of one million, on condition that she em ploys an army of 30,000 men against the common enemy. The island of Gaudaloupe is to be ceded to Sweden, who is to give the subjects of England the right of entrepot in the ports of Gottetdwrgh, Carisham, &c. for twenty years, on pa) ing a duty of two per cent. The dire; - ent provisions of this treaty have already been eeproia•cd by some .lout naffs as impolitic, injudicious, and even degrading! Either of the two former epithets they may deserve, should the conduct of r'•weden continue such as it has hitherto been, and should it he found that she has availed herself of our money and our co operation to aggrandize her self without operating the least good in IR half of the ge- • teral cause. Should her exertions be directed against Den mark alone, the object, it must he confessed would be totally foreign to the interests of the North. Denmark, of all the Powers once under the control of France, is the only one that latterly displayed a spirit, not only of neutrality but of hostility against beg. Had therefore his Norwegian king dom not been threatened by Sweden in conjunction with Russia and with our consent, the Danish Monarch, already committed with France, might have by his defence of liam burgh ultimately entered the league against her, or at least would have yielded her no assistance in the contest. The present treaty, we fear, has thrown him once more into her FRENCH PAPERS. Paris papers to the Bth inst. have been received in the course of the week. They bring the accounts from the armies down to the 9.9!1) ult. when the Fr( 'Kb head-quaff te.s were beyond Leignitz, twenty-one miles from Breslau, in Silesia, upon which the Allits had retired. A column had marched towards (logau, and after relieving that fortress, was to cross the Oder, and penetrate into Poland, where the enemy expected soon to have an army cf partisans. Another under OUDINOT bad retraced its steps towards Berlin, and it is exultingly stated, the enthusiasm of the people had once more sunk into desponding passiveness. The Polish corps under PONIATOWSKI, bad been permitted by Austria to pass through her territory to rejoin the French ; it is said to consist of 5,000 cavalry, and 6,000 infantry. Should this prove true, Austria could no longer pretend to act as. an impartial mediator between the Belligerents, for she would have committed a flagrant breach of neutrality in favour of France. It is, perhaps, this conduct on her part, as well as the apparent impossibility of preventing the French from re-entering Poland, and the apprehension that the Poles will rise again to assert their independence, (in which case the allies, in their present position, would find themselves completely surrounded,) that have induced them to send Count SHUVALOFF and Geucial KL EIST to the French posts to negociate an armistice. This is French news, it is true, but from what we have learnt of the dispo sition of the Emperor ALEXANDER, since the death of KUTUSOW, who alone gave life and firmness to his counclis, we should be disposed to give it some credit. It is well known, that at the time of BLONAP ART E'S advance to Mos. cow, negociations for peace were secretly carried uu with P 1
