Therefore he did not remonstrate against the Expedition to Copenhagen. He asserts that he was notprivy to that ex pedition, but at the same time vindicates it as a measure which all subsequent events justify. The readiness of our Ministry to accede to the wishes o f Sweden, to render the Baltic a dose sea, free from the ir.- trusiou of men of war and privateers, does them credit. The Paris Papers, up to the 26th of March, from which we have given extracts, under the head of Foieign News, contain the regulations which the French Emperor has made concerning the Jews. The regulations are not of a nature particularly favourable to that people ; though they con tam some distinctions in favour of such Jews as appear have conducted themselves uniformly well. These Papers contain also au account of the seizure of M. ALOPFUO, the Russian Minister at Sweden : a step which is severely blamed by the Monileur : but for which the note of the t.wedish Minister, M. D'Enacwirriciss, gives strong reasons. The Monileur goes on to state, that France has declared war against Sweden, whose coasts are stated to be in a most defenceless state. We find that nothin g has been done at Boulogne, Dunkirk, or Ostend, beyond the reparation of the works that have been dama - led by Hoods. Let ters from Rome had arrived at Paris, declaring that the troops of the Pope were incorporated with the French. From Milan, we learn, that one of our Squadrons blockades the Russian Fleet in Trieste, and that Levina, on the coast of Dalmatia has been occupied by an English force. - Accounts from Holland state, that a loan has been open ed at Amsterdam, under the direction of the principal Merchants and Bankers, for fitting out small armed vessels. The first subscriptions, it is said, amounted to 500,0001. and the books were to close at the beginning of the present month. p/1;1 t may with tt 1 troth 6c said, that. a Prince consider the hour of death as not hour ofllo N !PA ittes visitation.

Of the insurrection in Spain, which for se‘eral days past has so much occupied the public attention, we have in serted the fullest details in another part of our Paper. The events which have now occurred, would once have set Europe in conimotion. Every throne would have tren - - bled, and every council would have been thunderstruck. But in these times we are accustomed to view the most heinous crimes and the most signal revolutions, without any expression of surprise. After witnessing so many mi racles, we have ceased to wonder. But the train of inno vations appear now to be ahuost concluded ; and P.siNA.• r•irre, possessing every thing, will soon have little. else to do, (ban (0 sit down and weep, like ALExANDEIt, that no more worlds are left for him to conquer. The conduct of the Prince of Peace, once the avowed favourite of France, has given rise to a variety of conjcc- I some persons imagine that he ads ised the King to emigrate, because he feared the French displeasure: would overtake himself: others suppose that he was instructed hy BON APA if Eto procure the secession of the Royal Fa mily, in order that the vacancy might give a pretence to France for occupying the supreme power. Further intelligence of his fate must reach us before we ought, in justice, to set down the Prince of Peace as a trai tor, however much we may blame his conduct on 14 . )riner occasions. At any rate, whatever his motives Ma V has e been, his advice seems to have been good ; liw Prussia allords a most conspicuous example how little is to be hoped by a Prince w how BONA PA KT 1.. is determined to ruin.
