It appears that the report which had reached us of a De claration of War having been actually issued by Russia *ping Sweden, was not well founded. That event had "FT7 MA Rrn not taken place, though it continued, and no doubt on good ground, to he expected. This delay is, in all proba bility, owing merely to the dilatory councils of Russia, and the difficulty which she always finds in putting her ar mies in motion. We may, perhaps, draw this consolatory conclusion from the circumstance, that no great degree of activity and rigour is likely to be displayed by a Powe r which takes the field so coolly. This, no doubt, strengthens the prospect of our obtaining for Sweden, at no distant period, pretty favourable terms of Peace. The movements of BONAPARTE, however, display his usual promptitude and rapidity. We learn from the Fo reign Papers, that a French army of 40,000 men was on its march, in two divisions, through Holstein, and BERN A• noTTE had arrived at Copenhagen, to make the requisite arrangements. It is still farther stated, by some passeA a,•erss who have arrived by the same conveyance as the Mails, that the whole of this body of men had actually crossed the Little Belt to Furen. If this he true, the ex pectatipn which is mentioned in an article from Gotten burgh, that the French army woald pass from Jutland to Norway, must have been unfounded. It is, indeed, very improbable. It is stated, that the Russian troops in Italy, which were under orders to return home, have received commaas from BosapaaTz to remain, This, which may have been occasioned by some very frivolous cause, has given occa sion to many serious conjectures among the London Edi tors. Some of them imagine the Russians are retained in order to effect the dismemberment of the Turkish Empire; others think that they are retained for the subjugation of the British possessions in India. There are some additional intimations respecting Turkey and India, which may serve to (muse the credulous; but the considerate man will not rashly give his belief to the idea that any serious attack is at present meditated, either upon Turkey or India. The Princes of the Rhenish Confederacy have received orders to furnish their contingents, in order to replace the French troops which are intended for Dalmatia. 'Phis, in fact, is the reason, when the movements among the troops, to place them in their position for the summer, arc made, The Danes are Lid to have given great offence to Russia and Prussia, by injuries done to the trade :and navigation of these Powers in the Baltic. We are not displeased that they have other ground of complaint on this subject be side England. The Danish offences, however, are proha , lily the unauthorized outrages of individuals, pur►uing the trade of plunder and piracy with too much ardour, and Denmark will promise amendment and reparation. Along with the Gottenburgh Mails, dispatches for Go vernment arrived on Friday by the Beaufoy, Capt. NORRIS. They arc understood to contain the ratification of the Treaty between this Country and Sweden. We are extreme ly anxious for the time when this Treaty shall be laid before Parliament, that we may understand the terms upon which we arc to be involved iu the Swedish contest. The preparations for the Expedition to the Baltic and Sweden arc stated to be in great forwardness. Two hun dred transports have droped down from Deptford to the Lower Hope, the place of rendezvous, and one hundred and fifty more, intended for cavalry, stores, &c. will be ready on Monday. The embarkation will take place with all possible dispatch ; the troops arc said to be already in Trio lion. A fleet, we trust ? will be in the tattle Wore the ar- THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 1
