On this Note the Writingr makes a long and most vehement comment, in which it is called an outrageous violation of the rights of Ambassadors, and to be equalled in barbarism only by the acts of the Dey of Algiers. In the rune Number of the Official Journal, there is nu ar ticle from Copenhagen of the 11th instant, containing the ful- Jou ing information te The Russian Minister, M. Alopeus, who WWI arrested at Stockholm, has nevertheless found means to trausmit hither a letter, which was immediately forwarded to l'etershurgh. The hitt.: of Sweden, who has long spurned every thiug that was becoming . , has given a severe shock to the Diplomatic Body. Ile. leas done still more; he has caused a Russian Courier, sent from l'etershorgh to M. Alopeus, to he plundered at Abo, and has robbed him of his dispatches. Because every one mur mured at Stockholm, he has retired to Grypsholm. Our ;,,ur; has declared oar against Sweden, and letters of marque are issued against SwediA ships. It has been lately ascer tained, that no preparations for (lame are going forward in Sweden. A traveller, aho lately caner from Stockholm, saw no kited of troops in motion. The coast is as defenceless as Fin land was ; indeed it is impossible not to lament the fate of the interesting Suscdish nation; her fate resembles that of Portugal, N 1 hick country England came to help, and deprived her of Ma deira. Now men see all the blessings of the revolull of lilB, and that it has been the spring of all the distre,7 w . of tivveden. let the course of this winter nothing of importance has occurred at Boulogne, Dunkirk, or Ostend : the works along tae coast and in the harbours have been damaged by the inundations, hut workmen are busy in restoring them, and soon Ito traces of the damage will be visible.—The fitting out of pri vateers still goes on iu the ports, and a ith so much the more 'cal. since the profits which ohe owners derive from them have become more con-iderteale. 'Die mercantile interest of Pari s even takes a share in these speculations. a circumstance which bas seldom happened before.

The King represented to him in the rums earnest manner THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 245 the danger in which they found themselves; the general discon tent of the people of Madrid, demanded his head, (as the Admi ral had falsely made him believe.) Cavelier° said that there was no such thing, that all was false, and that he had been de ceived.—The King immediately answered—Do they deceive me ? Do they betray me? Who is the Tra-itor ?—That is the Gentle man, pointing to the Admiral, m ho drew his sword.—The Coun cil immediately broke up. The principal party, consisting of Cavellero, the Prince, Altemire, Fernando Nunes, w ho, they say, was wounded, as were most of the Grandees.

The project, which was for sonic time only suspected / was ascertained by the orders given to the Life Guards. On the following day I, Monday) in the morning, the Life Guards took post on the !toad of ()canna. The Hall of the Countil anti the whole of the Palace presented a scene of popular tumult. Some of the Guards cried out " Kill him," others " kiln!" and some pointed the sword to his breast. The Prince of Astu. rias clung to the Admiral, who placing himself bet will) the troops with fixed bayonets, fled to Isis house, or roneraled him self in the Palace, and the Queen to her aparitnent. On Wed nesday, in the evening, a mail arrived, with an order, for the garrison of Madrid to assemble and prepare In march. At W% cu o'clock at night the bearers of these sinters went to all the cotter and ss herevcr they found officers or guard , , directed them to join their corps, and through the whole toun the eat riages and horst.s were put into requisition. The troops re mained all day in their quarters, which none of them we:e un ally account permitted to leave, and much ferineutatbin ai served among the people. And it was a matter of joy to them to go to the house of the Admiral, to see that he had no long er a guard of hussars. The Council of Castille met the same clay, and continued in deliberation from ten in the morning until four in the afternoon, to answer the two questions of the king, ss he titer he should leave the country, and whether his people were disturbed; to hich questions the reply was, that hr ong.'d not to leave the cot:tarp, nor would they allow hint to do so. That the people were quiet and loved him, as he might himself sec, if he would conic to Madrid. This and the ss hole of the prey. d ing day, nothing but compl4int 5, clamours, aWI farewell were heard in Araqiuez, because the king entertained the project of departing-, until two in the afternoon, when a courier arrived from Napoleon, assuring him that he came w WI pacific imen lions, This intelligence was immediately premulgated, ntel the hugent;ttio is were converted into shout , of .ju. , °gratulation-, awl embraces throughout all A ranjuez.
