Their contents have not been fully disclosed, but it has not been concealed that the gave intimation of the commencement of efiCorts, ON the part of his SwEntsn MAJLITY, to avert The ruin which threatens him, by acceding to terms of Peace. In the meantime, tho preparations for the Baltic Expedition, which7,m ere so tritnnphantly and ostentatiously begun seem to be suipended..Ui t he talk about the embarkation of troops is at an end. It is even estimated, at last, by the Ministerial .lonrnals, that the defence of Sweden appearing to be a hope- I!*s task, the expedition prepared for that purpose will now he sent upon anot her dest ; and that a squadron of sh ips of w:ir will alone be sent to the Baltic. We shall hereafter be informed of what utility they can be, after SN$ Cdell is at the mercy of our enemies. Our Ministers bonst:.4 that they had provided for the security of Sweden, by seizing the Danish Peet ! ten of sense laughed at the time : experi ence will at last bring all men to the same mode of thinking. Saturday morning we received Boston Papers to the ‘2.9th or January inclusi‘e. The enil!argo, which had been previ ously laid by the American Government, anticipatel the effects of our Orders in Council, and prevented the people or merchants from experiencing any new calamity. There is but little outcry., therefore, in the Newspapers; and we are yet to learn what decision will be formed upon the subject hy the Government. The Americans nppear to he enduring so impatiently the embargo, that it is not proba ble it will be long persevered in, which will render the question about the Orders in Council more urgent and in teresting. Some private letters have been received, which enticipate an easy ndjustmea of the differences between the two countries; but though we do not apprehend that they will terminate in war, we wish we saw a greater pro bability of an easy adjustment. The following are the principal articles of intelligence which the papers afford : " NV ‘I4IITNGTA•7, .T 4N. IT.

" GRNER AI, Moil &r.—Considerable conversation was afloat yesterday. onihe subject of some newly discovered eun spirac••, in which (,eneral Moreau was said to be implicated. Un what foundation it tests we know not, units, the following • • I. l's IA ITC I T (20. article from a New Vori► paper, of January 21, furnishes the, authority " It was reported ,esterday, that the di-ltatrhec from o f , French Minister here to Tionaparte, which w ere intereEpt e d iu AR American vessel, by a Ir ui ter, and laid before the i;ritish Government, were afterward: submitted to the ali-clot' ur Mr. Monroe, before hi.- d-parture from ! ngt• oti. '('!tear• di.. patches are said to criminate General Af oreatt :turf on r. M 4.14. roe's Communicating their contents to the President, order. here gitom to arrest the General, if lie could be taken %%tibia the United States." It is stated in an article from Paris, inserteJ in the :Tor/- burgh Corespendenten, that the Rochefort t o p.. Sher with the Spanish Squadron, from ( arthnena, ilarl en tered the harhmir of Tonion, and being there joined hy th e Toulon Fleet, had sailed from thence oa the 7th or oih of February, standing for Sicily. No intellie;:aice has been received in this Country from the Mediterranean. by which we can judge of this statement. It is at last neithi:r impossil)le rur improbable, hut. at the c 1 me time tile intel li:zerre is not of such a description, as to eritille it to impli cit belief. The .:Vortiteur is not gaoled for it b% the , orr,-, pondenten, and we may, pee haps, with some coundenee chide, that were such infoonation %Cry authentic, the wou!d not be the last Paris ripper to g iv, , it rblieitc. The amount of this Combined Fleet is stated at thirtv s7OI of the line, besides frig-at es, stoops, trans t iorts, c.; though, from what is understood of the strength of the different siiiadrons, it cannot exeeed twertv-two sail of the line.— The British force, under Sir B. S Arll l l, Lord Coat.ix , ;- woon, and Admiral Toofixnonornn, amounts to twenh - one sail of the line, for tile result of a contest with which), and the combined fleet of the enemy, we should have no anxiety. But from the separate anti distant courses which each of those Commanders is understood to hale taken, we fear there is little chance of their eliecting a ,junction, he rore the enemy wail have accomplished his ricpotie of landing an army in sicily. Letters from Stralsund, 0C February Ir, state, that Baron Daanfeldt. first Aid-du•Camp of the Kinz of :swede! , who arrived there with ii:•pa tulles from his Swedish Ma jesty, is goue to Paris. Alt correspondence v. ith Lnglaikd and . Sweden has been prohibited in the Duchy of Meck- lenborg. The letters from Amsterdam stile, that the GoTernment had directed a fresh contribution of 100,000,0010 of fr.inis to be levied upon the people of Holland, of which stun ~ %msterdam was to furnish oi.e fourth, Rotterdam oar tenth, and all the other towns in the usual protiortion.-- ltonaparte is reported to hake set out for `ipaiii and Po. - - tuzal. From Paris it is stated, that Botoparle has determined to seize upon all the public treasures in , pain. and even the church plate throughout that kingdom, the amount of which is to he forwarded to Paris. It is added, that the produce of this plunder is intended chietiv ac a loan to the Emperor of Russia, for the purpose, probabl . r, of enabling him to send an army to the Crispin' `ea ; by'.. accordirg to one of the letters, Ore copy rcrhotint,l ,‘ of " securing fidelity to the compact 1.003 entered into be- " tween Russia and France, and of enabling Alexander to ‘• carry on the war without calling upon the discontented " subjects for a new supply." Bonaparte, dissatisfied at the conduct of the Pol:.`, has s ordered the Nuncio, who resided in Paris, to quit France. The Vienna Court-Gazette, of the 9.11 inst. states, that the Russian army in Moldavia and Wallachia has been considerably reinforce& It also contains the following ar ticle :—" The British squadrons, which are now criiizii:g in the Archipelago, and in the lonian and Adriatic seas. take all Greek and Turkish vessels, and sink their cargoes. The seven Islands are closely blockaded, and the scarcity and want of provisions are acid to be very great in Corfu and Cerigo." A • ••-vr -^" V v‘r.• - -.- -a
