The Austrian troop' in Bohr testa are estimated at from 20 to 45,000 troops of the line ; and, in cluding the militia of the first levy, which are joined with theta, the number of these troops may amount to 45,400 men.

The Treaty of Weer, bettreeo Sweden and Russia, was sive'', on the 17th, at Freslerickshain, and its ret , ficatioa is to be exchanged at St. Peteisburgh within four weeks. The Kw, of SWEDEN has en gaged by it to exclude all English vessels, of every description, from his ports, but has reserved to himself the importatimi of salt and colimial pro duce. He has also surrendered to Itu-sia the whole of the Swedish territories en the East of the Gulf of Dodutia, as far as Tomes', including Tavestland, Finland Proper, East Bothnia, &c. together with the Isle of Aloud, the kliesterit fron tier of Rosier being in future to be formed by Aland Hun, the streight between Sweden and the We of Aland, the Bothision Gulf, and the rivers Tonics and Moan°, to the confines of Norway. These conditions are not merely humiliating, on re count of the great extent of territory thus severed from the Crews' of Swede's, but because they are destructive of the security stud independence of what is left to it; as, from the moment the surren dered provinces are organised, and properly re. duced under the subjection of it will be in ber power, at any time, to penetrate into the very heart of Sweden Proper, by an invasion by sea from Aland, co-operating with a force marching by laud along the coast from Tornee. The King of Ststoun feels and admits that these conditions are liumiliatin and degrading ; but he says, that the exhausted state of the country did not warrant the hope of favourable terms, and that for what is left to it, the nation is indebted to the late revolution, which played him on the throw,. , • Sir Sastuut.
