Worenland. STOCKHOLM. MA RUH 17.—" Yon : will probably have heard before now of tile Revolution here.—The King aftived in the city from his Country seat' at Hoga, at seven o'clock in the evening of the 12th—he slept in town. in the morning of the Uth, the guards marched out or town, and the King and the Royal Family were to join them on the 1304, in order to proceed towards the insurnrents. On the 13th, at twelve o'clock, the time an pointed fir the carrine . es to be at the Palace, Major-General Adlercreutz, Colonel .lagerhorn, and others, went up to the Kinrr b 's apartment. and Adlercreutz told the King that he must not deeart. The King drew his sword, and on their laying hold of ill: person he derended himself brave ly, and was on the point of killing Adlercreutz. No soldiers were in the Palace, because it was reported that the King bad in the night returned to flag t. In the :text room to that where the King was, was a servant called a Chamber 'Hazard of the King, whose name is Selleno. On hearing tite noise in the room be wished to open the dOor, but' it was locked; he then broke even the door, nod with his sabre in hand was going to cut Adler ereutz down, but the sabre was wrested from his, hand. In the mean time, the unfortunate Monarch, without hat or sword, ran • down the so called Queen's Stairs; there they followed him, and ' he took away the sword from Colonel Mello, and cut the hand of one Count Snoilsky. Ile defended himself a long time; but at last, almost fainting, they carried him up to his room.- Ilet• expressed, at first, his astonishment at their conduct, and still kept saying that his principles are and will ever remain fire sante. In the night he •was carried out to Dromengholm. On the 13th a great force of the cuirassiers and artillery was sent to gaga, where the Queen ?n,nd her children were and still are. • Adlercreutz was immediately appointed the Commander, Adju tant-General, and 4;44(1-Marshal —Count Klingspor, Lord Go ' vernor of Stockholm—Baron Lagerbjelke, Chancellor of the Court. The former Lord Governor of Stockholm, Count Uglas, has lost his' place—every thing is quiet here. A publication was issued on the 13th, that n.ll taverns and public-houses should •..he shut up precisely at nine o'clock in the evening ; and the duty laid on by the King for carrying on the war, was taken off. The regiment of the King's body guard, which. was disgraced ip: laud, iras received 'their colours, and are reinstated in theircrank. The Queen and her children are not allowed to see the %ing; add, in a word, no one is allowed to come near the castle, iti here • a great number of guns are placed, A Diet is appointed for the lst of May. The Duke of Siidermania, it is said,' will keep con friendly. terms with England ; but I hardly think Bonaparte will suffer it. Major Delagrange is sent to Denmark, and from thence to Paris; Major Arfvedson to St. Petersburgh,• and a messenger from the Secretary of State's Office to England. I have spokeu to one of the persons who attended one day -on the King at Drotnengholm; he told me that the King 'ate but little, . and that he often went back ward and forward, and clasped his •• hands together, and lifted up his eyes, as if he were praying.— Thus, this Monarch, adored in prosperity, is abandoned by all --;bud help him!" IL: CT OF A LATTER FROM STOCRUOLM, MARCH 20. — :Valor Advidson, whO went as a Courier to St. Petersburgh, in order to announce the change of Government in Sweden, passed from Stockholm to Aland, and on his way to Russia, he met the Russian army Marching towards oat place (Aland). Th"y hiunediately seized on his person; hut finding that he broanht a a message for St. Petersburgh, and the King was deposed, they suit: red him to proceed ; but in: hi• representing . that(-very: thing woold be settled amicably, the I:ie.:shin General answered him, that being on his way to Aland, lie could not stop ; and in formation has since been received OA Aloud was taken pos-es sion of without any resistance whatever.—On the 18th, there was a report at Stockholm, that Bonaparte had promised Ge neral Armfelt, in a letter written to him, that he should be one of those who were to he Members in the King's Privy Council, and that Russia has had its hands in the Revolution. It is said that Sir Joseph Banks will proceed with the next fleet to the Brazils. A frigate is appointed to take him out. lie is to be accompanied by several naturalists and artists of fwknowiedged talents. That country will af ford to his researches a rich fund of valuable curiosities, both iu the vog►etable and mineral world. El? 031 271 E SP.! AV 1.511 l'.l ItS. NI.ANWESTP,..OF 1:111: SPANISH JUNTK". The Supreme ;junta of Spain have issued a iztnifesto, deccrib ing-, in the most forcible langnage, the present situation of tai ii Country, and the cause; that have led to the ellamiti.•4 wita R Weil it is now assailed. The Minifesto retraces t!te history of the' connection between France nail Spain fee t century t;ack, and enumerates the uniform advantages which Fmnce unifornd derived from that connection, down to the French Revolution, and even subsequent to that period. now this faithful ;Venn ship and useful alliance has since ilcen rep:tl,l by the most cruel perfidy, the blackt!st ingratitude, is btat too notorious; and the fate of Spain is held up as an awful lesson to every other latieuv, to guard against that profligate a:nbi t ion that would enslave them all„ The .Manifesto eonclodes with the following energetic Ad dress to the dill; rent Continental Pam ers " Yes, PCIIICCS and Nations of the Cootinent, your preser vation is identitiM with ours. The ?:ratal syl,tem of continental stilljugation, which is incessantly lssuing from the lips of French men, comprises in their Own ags,, , randi-eiltent your ruin. Do not deceive yoarselves; ambition of Bowl parte has elread y triumphed over 'ltaly, Holland, and Switi.erland, and has con verted the states of tit , Confederatitm of the :thine into the pro vinces of his own Empire. NN itlt the forces of spain and Por tugal he intends to eifect the destruction of Austria, and aftt.r wards to assemble the collective strength - of Et:rept: to drive the unCortunate Alexander into the desarts of Tartar .% Then, and not nntil all this is consummated, will the projects of his w lid ambition be. accomplished. The ancient tl ) nasties of the earth will disappear, he anti his fatally will reign uneontrouled over the nations; another feudal system, into e teougnain thaa the former will be established, to the exclusion of tit :. light, and to the destruction of the industry and civilization • to' three complete centuries. " Rut the time has not vet arrived when the tyrant can enjoy the fruits of his labours. England, possessing great natural ad vantages from her insular situation, from her power, and from her laws, has cast the smile of contempt at the mad convulsions of French audacity. " What then, sovereigns of Europe, have you to perform ? You are invited to action by fair opportunity , by obvious interest, and the urgent danger. if you wish to. exist, arm your selves. From the Scheid to the Tyber, and front the Neva to the Guadalquiver, may there be but one object, and may that he, war against Frenchmen. Perhaps yon doubt of a stiCresFfit; result from your elforts.—Be not deceived, Frenchmen are neither invulnerable nor invincible; the Val'entia and Saragossa, and the mountains of Palen, exposed to Heaven and Earth, their shame and degradation. Oh I ye Monarele and Inhabitants of the Continent imitate our firmness, and our perseverance, and the world, threatened with destruction by a brutal monster, will at length recover its independence and repose.
