Amongst the variety. of subjects, which, in the conrsr of the week, have occupied the attention of the public . sone .has excited more surpr.se or more regret, . than a n_ cc r t e d misunderstanding b e tween the Commanders of our pedition to the Baltic, and the gallant King of SWEDEN. After the conduct of that Monarch toward us ; after his . refusing to enter into any compromise with the enemies of this country ; after ha'. mg hazarded the security of h is crown in consequence of his ailh.‘rence to the common cause of European independence ; after the frequent men tion made by his Majesty's mintstersof his strict adherence to his engagements; shall we give credit to the misunder standing slid to ha.e existed bet reen Sir JORN MOOR E atee big Ida.issiv.—We would wish, for the honour of our General, and even for the consistency of Ministers, that , this disagreeable rumour could only be traced to the in ventive heads of some of our journalists. But this entire stair is s:ill so mysterious, that we are absolutely afraid of communicating our sentiments upon it. We would willingly disbelieve it ; we would even willingly commit siesta to the public the reasons we have to discredit it. We will only add, is there any satisfactory communi cation as yet made to the public, to induce us nil at once to renounce the high opinion we are certainly justi fied in fermium of the Swedish M i narch ; certainly not. Or, shall we throw the blame on Sr JOHN Moone. This would he both premature and indiscreet before we are bet ter acquainted with the circumstances, than we are as et from the obsence hints thrown out in some of the daily pa pers. Should this circumstance however be true, which we sincerely hope is not the case, the strictest *main% should he inai'e, every satigactiou given to the gallaii• Monarch, who came forward in so h on ourable a manner, in support of the common cause. This is not, certainly, a moment for our Gererals to dis play their courage or inclepentlence, by entering into a dis pute with the only ally we had on the Continent We have already suffered too much from the indiscretion of some; and there is something so repugnant to our feelings, some , things) ungrateful in the transaction, that we feel strongly inclined to reject it whi Ily ; and to consider it, notwith standing the variet,y of channels through which it has been communicated, as an idle or malicious rumour. TURKISH EMBASSY. The arrival of two Tnrk sh Envoys t as been as unexpecte(' as it is important. Their object is undoubtedly the re-esta blishment of peace between the two countries. it woult be useless to point out the advantages that would result from this event. Exclusive of its opening a new inarkel to our merchants, it w'll have very considerable effect towards hastening the decision of Austria ; which, in case of a war with France, would be exposed to considerable inconvenience, in having in her rear a power absolutely at the discretion of the latter. This important intelligence . has been communicated to u s in a leiter from Plymouth, dated 12th July. " Late last evening arrived here the Bittern sloop of war, of 18 guns, Capt. Usher, from Malta, Gibraltar, and Vigo, with dispatches of vet.) great importance for Government ; after the usual quaraatiae precaat ions, the dispatches w ere landed, as aim' the persons who were charged with them, viz. their Excellen• cies Sidky kalendi, and Demetrius Duc, two Turkish Anibassa. dors ; Cap:ain Mtge)°, of the 21st regiment ; A. S. J. Barker, u.sq. Secretao to Mr. Adair, and Captain Usher of the Bittern, oho are gone off for London. They sailed from Malta seven weeks since, and the Ambassadors arr *id to be in possession of Preliminaries from the Turkish Cour!, for Peace with thi s country. if so fortunately bapliened, as the Bittern came cirough thr Ray of Biscay, that ifir fell in with the Hyperion, of 32'guns, on her outward voyage to Malta, on hotted of which aas Mr. Adair and his suite, who is on'an embassy to Turkey; ~d after the Ambassadors had explained to each other the na ure of their mission, Mr. Adair considered it of importance to end hack his Secretary by the Bittern, for further instructions from his Government, and he proceeded on his voyage to Malta : hen the Ambassadors were landed, a salute of seventeen guns was tired from the Bittern. She called off Cadiz about three weeks since, and brings a confirmation of the French men of war in that harbour being in possession of the Wniards; and it is ~aid that the French Admiral was badly Wounded before he struck his colours, and has since died of his wounds. It i, also reported, that the Russian fleet is the Tagus bad even themselves up to Le Portuguese. It is reported that a Proclamation has been issued by the Junta of aeville, ordering the arrest of General Escncir*- it lA, as a Traitor. This is the Officer who commanded the t'atriots in their first action with Durowt's army, in which they were worsted. He had, under the former Govern ment, been guilty of some mal-practices, for which he was exiled to Ceuta. The above Proclamation is dated the I Itb of June. INTERESTING ADVICES FROM THE SPANISH PATRIOTS. The Spanish Commissioners appointed by the Supreme Coun cil of Seville. to conclude a Treaty of Peace Lod Alliance he tweet' Great Britain and Spain, are arrived. The Commissioners ere Admiral Hon Apodaca, and Major General Hon Jacomie. they are accompanied by two other persons of distinction, in the capacity of Secretaries. They landed at Portsmouth on Chursday, amidst the acclamations of the populace and the ring •ng of bells. His Majesty's ship Revenge, which brought them 'rum Cadiz, was decorated with the Spanish flag, and her coin , atander, Sir John Gore, wore the cockade of the Patriots, with e inscription, " Long live Ferdinand the Seventh." He was erequently on shore at Cadiz, and, w hen he first landed, such was the enthusiasm of all ranks and descriptions, and their high es tisem for the British character, that it was with great difficulty le could v et ex c u s ed from being carried b y Ladies along the streets. The Commissioners reached town on Friday, and have already had an interview with Mr. Secretary Canning.
