E9l sw EDEN , -.1) ItUS.A.A. . The substance of the Trea; y between Russia and Sweden, concluded in Igl2, has been laid before the public It stipulated that Sweden shoold make a diversion in Germany against the common enemy, but not before she bad con queled Norwas, who she feared, would attack her if she went to war with Frarce. For that purrizee Russia "as to Jetvl Sweden 20,000 men, and to guaiantee the posiession of Norway to her for ever. Before the battle of Borodino the CROWN PRINCE required -the Russian auxiliary corps to be raised to 35,000 men, which at the time must have grentl% operated in favour of France, as it considerably diminished the force by which she was opposed. On hearif,g of the capture of Moscow, however, BERNADOTT I released this force, which being formed to that under I . 'WITTGENSTEIN, enabled him to drive the French from the banks of the Dwina. Our treaty with Sweden was entered into to make her fulfil her -engagements with Russia, and we succeeded in "'mulcting her diversion in Ger many preliminary to her attack on Norway. An Addles% was mo‘ed last Friday in the Commons by Mr. PoNsomiv, requesting the PRINCE 11 EGENT to cancel our Tteaty, and the subject was a!so chscessed in the Upper Howe hut in both the conduct cif Ministers was sanctioned by the most triumphant m-joi ities.

The sailing of the transports at Harwich, with the troops on hoard for the expedition to the North, has teen counter manded. All the ammunition and o , dnatice stores for the gun-boats, which were on hoard the Desiree frigate, have also been landed at the Ordnance depot at Harwich . ; from which it is iiv'erred that the expedition is totally abandoned. 1)u; ing the continuance of the Armistice in Germany, each party will doubiless be employed in obtaining reinfai cements ; f,a• snperioiity of force will he sore to tell as much in the conditions of a peace, as in the ca'e of a renewal of war. It will be recollected a Decree of the Emperor of Russia Was is-red in December, commanding, a levy of 300,000 men, who were to be •lrawn, throughout the whole empiie, in one month front that date. Allowing three months for the col lecting and t!-::ining of this force, it would be ready to march about the middle of April, and it is probably necessary to allow more than two months for the average length of this in ,re' , from the different pa' is of that em ire. if this calcu • lation be ri t zitt, it is plain, that none of these troops could have been with the Russian army when the A-rmistice was signed ; and ye' it is probable, that all will have joined before its conciuskii.

Taught by repeated re yeiscs, Mr. MADISON% her pes have learnt at last to march . with over whehning numbers against the scattered forces with whiA we occupy these extensive provinces. By a coin I bitted attar k by water and land, on York, the capital of Upp'r Canada, the ~ 2 7th of April hst, they succeeded in earrvincz that town, ‘vhich was defended by only nine bun- 1 ered tegulars and tnititia and seven huhdred Indians, whilst tile land force ..f the enemy alone consisted of boon then. This important post was well defended, Rnd the A merican General (Pike), with upwards of 100 of his men, and forty Bri7ish, were kiiled by the Mowing up of a mine berme our works. The rei.oit that aS2 gun frigate, nearly ready for launching, was destroyed at tlmt place, is not credited, though seveml vessels of inferior magnitude. on the stnrks were burnt. to prevent their falling into the bands of 11w enemy. It tins believed that Cieneral DEARBORN would not be able to maintlin himself long at York. By letters received di! e , t from Madrid, the evacuation of that capital by the French is fully confii med. They beau to retrofit precipitately on the 27th, not only from the city itself, but fom all the hosts in its vicinity ; fearful, as it should seem, of beim; cut off by the rapid advance of the allied army. The !;;paniards were full of exultation ; and, in the height of their sanguine hopes, pronounced this to he the List campaign which the invaders would carry on in the l'enin , u la. 'lO make it the last, however, they must drive the French not merely behind the Ebro, lint across the Pyrenmeg. Unless that be done, the labour of the Allies is a!l labour in vain.
