Nhatm The Sisbeisbary Treaty between His Msrerre and the King et SISICISEN, of which we give a cor rect copy, was laid last night before the House of Commons.. By it His MAJESTY engageStO pay to the King of SWZOLII a sum of 1,200,00u1. at the rate of 100,0001. per mouth, commencing with the month of January last; and the latter, in consi deration thereof, undertakes to put in motion all his land forces, and such parts, as shall be neces sary, of his fleets, and pnrticularly his flotilla. — From this it follows, that Government mean to send a fleet into the Baltic. The Swedish flotilla could do nothing against the Russian navy. The apprehension of a speedy invasion of Sweden, for the purpose of forcing her to accede to the French system, is the round assigned for this measure; and at this knowledge Ministers, it is presumed, have only just arrived, as the Treaty coi..nieuces with stating, that it is one of the conseqnences of the Treaty of Tilsit, gra dually unfolding itself. Here is another proof that Ministers knew nothing of the Treaty of Tilsit. Had they known it, they must have been long since prepared for the present state of Swe den. It is now confessed, that it is only from its consequeuccs they collect time substage, of that Treaty. There is a separate Article, stipulating for succours in the event of actual hostilities.

He stated, that insinuations were made to iome Members of the American Committee. holding out the menace of reporting them to the Treasury, in case they supported any petition to Parliament. An amendment was, however. moved by Mr. Sam son, to this effect : " That it was highly luexpe , dient to petition Parliament ou this subject. pend inn; a negociation between this country and America."

Mr. SMART, Mr. BANTLET, sod Mr. WALIICA.— The meeting, nt the close. became very confused, in consequence of a number of persons. totally ma connected with the American trade, haring in trusted themselves into the room. They, in geoerah supported the amendment, which was carried by a Are of Land.s. Several of the most respectable American Nlercliants declared, that amongst the opposers of the Petition, there went at least three in die who had no interest in the discussion.
