A correcp6ndence, it is said, has .been intercepted, in which the CROWN Pit INCE of Sweden transmitted to Blies- NAP ART E all the particulars of the plan formed by the Allies for the next campaign. His troops have been withdrawn, and he has been - represented as on the eve of joining the French with 55,000 men, whilst Denmark, with 40,000, %sould follow his example: This is neither sanctioned by probability, nor authentic intelligence. BUON AP ARTE wants no information from the CROWN PRINCE. His spies live nearer the head-quarters of the alliec., than his Ito A L HIGIINEss. The refusal of Denmark to concede Norway, and the subsequent recipro cal dismissal of the Swedish and Danish Ministers, with the prospect of a war between the two Countries, may have Induced BERNADOTTE to recall his troops to prepare for the invasion of •Norway. This _want of co-operation with the allies, at this moment, is no doubt severely felt; as having collected all their force on the Upper Ettie to meet the re cruited legions of NAPOLEON, they hod left Hamburgh, Lubeck, and even Berlin to he defended by the Swedes in conjunction with the Ilanseatic Legion, and the departure of the Swedish forcelas exposed those cities to the vengeance of the French. Yet it would be premature to attribute this measure, however unfortunate in its consequences, to actual treacl•ery. BERNA DO TTE has just received our subsidy, and although we do not place much reliance on the honour of one of the French revolutionary upstarts, yet we think the honesty of the Swedish nation would have abhorred such de ceit, and the fear of incurring contempt, would have pre vented that government from practising it. The accession of Denmark with 40,000 men to the cause of France, although within the range of probability, is also, we are convinced premature. Denmark bad undoubtedly proposed the terms we detailed in our last, only to secure their ultimate rejection, and by the appearance of carrying on negociations, amuse the allie!;, and gain time until the events of war had shown which party it would be safe to join. That epoch is not yet arrived. The movements of the armies have not yet produced any decisive result, and unless the Russians should retreat so far as allow the French to cover the Danish frontiers, the King of Denmark will not form a junction with BCONAP'ART E which would ex pose his own territories to invasion, before he could be assisted. The same reason will also influence Austria, !11.1 her intentions of waiting to take a decided part until fortune shall have declared herself, . ay be inferred from her ef • forts to place herself in a state of armed neutrality, which at any time may be turned into one of actual warfare. That she should be able, however, as reported, to raise an army or 150,000 for Germany and one of 50,000 for Upper Italy, is, • lik . the present exhausted situation of her finances. utterly impossible. The rumoured accession of Saxony, or at least of . a Saxon General with a corps of 10,000 nt7.:n to the coaltseed Powers, appears equally premature and unfounded. Saxtn. ny, whose troops have fongl►t along with the French at the lowe,,t ebb of their fortunes, would not abandon cause, when their armies, re advancing in immense masses, com pel the Russians to fall back, by their superior numbers. If she has concluded any engtv;ement with tt►e Allies, we fear it is only a sna•e to entpp them into a deceittitj fideuce which may contribute! to their mit:.

The sword is once more di•awn : powerful armies are again in mo tion, and all the skill of man and the strength of empires are matshalk•tl for the fight. At such a moment it is impos iiille to repress the feelings of anxiety which naturally arise. Hope, however ardent, cannot entirely overcome fear. The experience of the past is brought to confirm the expect ations or the terrors of the present. The spirits of the Ft ench revolutionary triumphs are conjured up to dive away the ,remembrance of their late defeats, and revive their military fame. The doubtful conduct of Sweden, and the hostility of Denmatk ate thrown into the scale against hope, whilst others endeavour to counteract the gloomy anticipations too easily indulged, by reporting the accession of fresh Powers to the allied cause. In this clash of feelings and opinions, it is difficult to as certain the exact truth. Exaggeration seems equally con spicuous on every side. We shall divest it of its false co lours, and in a rapid sketch, of the intelligence of the week, point out what appeals to us entitled to credit. • The fall of Dantzic, so. confidently announced lately in official bulletins, has unfortunately been entirely contra dicted by subsequent intelligence. Thorn, however, the next fortress in point of importance on the Vistula, has sur rendered with a garrison of between four and five thousand Bavat ians, who have been - released on condition of their not Servinr , for a time, against the allies. Spandau after a de structive bombafdment has yielded on similar terms. To grant them is highly impolitic. The troops thus restored MAY 9. 291
