THE SUN. *OLIN! Quit DICIRA IALSUM ALIDLAT ? L 0 .N` 1) 0 N, THURSDAY, MAY We fees considerable regret in stating our appre. hensions that the Rochefort Squadron has eluded the . vigilance' of our Fleets, and that it has returned jr safety to France. Dispatches were last night re. eeivecl•at the Admiralty .from Admiral Lord GARD» NU ) dated the 23d instant, which state, ihat on the :d instant His Majlity's Frigate La Loire, in lat. 43.44. N. long. 20.48. West, fell in with a French Squadron, consisting of 5 Sail of the Line, and 3 Frigates (surposed, to be from the West Indies, branding to the eastward); she proceeded to give the intelligence to the Squadron off Ferrol, and Vice-Admiral Sir ROB Itrr CALDII,It immediately went in pursuit of then); hut riot getting sight of 'them, he thinks they have effeci.cd their return to • some port in France. There can be very little doubt from this intel ligence, that the Rochef:rt Squarhon has reached some Port in France'; but the circumstance of the return of the Rochefort Squadron leads us to doubt' very much whether the Toulon and Cadiz Fleets are destined for the West Indies. Because, in that case, it is improbable'that •the Rochefort Squadron would have been ordered home, as so considerable an addition of Ships and Troops would have contri buted very much tä •facilitate whatever plans they might have in view in that quarter. But, on the other hand, it it to be observed, that the Oilicers of the Rochefort Squadron- declared, on their arrival in the West rndies, that they expel/led to be jlined by the Fleet froM Tonkin, and anxiously . inquired whether any accounts had been received of them; and it will be recolleded that if the Toulon Fleet had efratied their escape out of the Meditetra. nean the first time. they put to sea, when'they were driven back by a storm, they might have reached, the West Indies much about the same time that the Rochefort Squadron arrived there. Now it is possible that Admiral MASSINISY and .Ge. • neral LA Ca mina, finding that the expefted suc cour did not arrive, and not, perhaps, receiving any intelligence from Europe, might suppose tiler that the Toaloti Fleet had been defeat. ed, or that its sailing had been prevented by, some unforeseen cirCuasstance. s In either of these cases, their situation in the West Indies would have.' been a very perilous one ; and as there can be no doubt hut that they had heard of. Admi,. rat COCHIANE'S arrival, they might deem it expedient to consult " their own safety, and, tat: all risques, endeavour to return 'to Europe-- It is impossible fur tas, with the information we have bef , re us, to decide upon these points we can only submit them to our Readers for their c aw ideratirin. If, however, according to some accounts, the Rochefort Squadron was merely sent o u t on a marauding Expedition, and that the Com manders kid orders to return to Europe AS soon as they had effeCted all the mischief Ahoy could with safety ; then the probability is, that the Cote. biped Squadrons, or, at least, the Toulon Fleet, is destinedfor the East Todici; or else that it is intended to take.posstssion of the Brazils ! If it be the inten tion of the FrcnO and Spanish Governments to make , An attack upon Portugal, it is very probable that they would deeM,ir expedient to take possession of the Brazils first, in order to prevent Great Britain from obtaiiiing them. We trust, however, that upon a bobjcet so very interesting we shall not long remain io ignorance. . . • .A.Lrir-xts c . rt, no, positive information„has been re. ceived (win Llrti NR L .

The Letter to which we allude is dated Malaga, May 4th, and states, that an American Prow Virginia, laden with . Cwt .

HOLM. is The English 'Public is but. impe treaty acqoaint. el wigh the causes that baits induced His Swedish Mjeste to break -etic all connexion with the Corsi. can EMperor of France,- and to acknowledge Louis XVIII. as Kink of 'fiance and Navarre. The Cap, tare, against the Law of Nations, of the Duke D'ENcttEtrr, almost by the side of the KING of sw..oete, when a visitor to his firher.in.law, the Eledlor of BADEN ; the insult offered by the ' Usurper to M. TAVAST, the Aid-de-Camp of His Swedish M-ijesty, sent- to prevent the Murder of the Duke ; and the Consular Libels in the Alio:in.:it; are but the secondary causes which occa. .tinned the present Rupture. The zeal and enagy :with which the KING of SetiEnerr defended the Rights and ,Libertica of Germany at Ratisbon in. duce! BONAPARTE and TALL ETRA.NU to in. trigue for the purpose of depriving hint of Swedish Potnerania, and consequently of. the right of being a Member of the. Germanic E m pire , When this, intrigue was discovered, it is positively hoWever, incredible it may appear, that TAL LE YEAND; by his Master's orders, commu. nicated to the Courts of St. Petershurgh, Berlin, alai Copenhagen, a 'general Plan for the partition of the Kingdom of Sweden 24 well as the Turkish Empire. At the last partition of Poland in 1794., Austria's share of the spoil was less than that of Russia or Prussia ; but it is said that the two latter Powers agreed, in a Secret Treaty, to indemnify her at the expellee of Turkey.-- Fur the losses which Austria sustained et the Treaty of Luneville, France also consented, in the Secret Articles, to indemnify her at the expellee of the Ottoman Porte. Last year, when the Incur. gent £ecvians marched against Belgrade, the Ca. binet of Vienna, it is said, demanded the execution of these Secret Articles. To this demand the Cabi net of St. Cloud immediately assented, and in order to induce the Ceurts of' Sr. Pitersbargh and Berli s a not to oppose It,' poetised, at the same time, to di. vide the Kingdom of Sweden in the following mitt ner : Swedish Finland, together with the. Provinces .surrounding it, were to be given to Russia. Prussia was to obtain, Swedish-Pomerania, the Dutchy of Mecklenburgh, and . the Islands in the 'Baltic, Born. hoists and Gotliland. The Duke of ME cee E. et o e en. it was to reccive,Holstein, and the King of DeNstAttir., as an indemnity' for Holstein and Bornholm, was to have the Swedish Provinces of Scania,,filc4ingen, Holland and Bohm!, which were given up to Sweden by the Treaty dictated by CstAlt.Es N. in 166 G, under the walls Of Copenhagen. Had this propa, been agreed to by the respective Powers , S NCiICO would have been reduced t'o what It was 300 . years ago, comparatively the smallest, and really the most insignifkant State in Enrope.—The EMP Fault of Russia, however, rejedted. the proposal with in. dignation : at the Court of Berlin, hoWever, it was received, it is said, tunic favourably; and in a great degree that explains the coolness which subsists be tween the Swedish and Prussian &Jive/Detente." Yesterday morning, suun after eight o'clock, His IVIA!ESTY 'left Kew in his travelling carria E e, escorted by a party of , the Light H )rir, isi).l pro. ceedtd w Camberwell, where HIS MAJE'TY ch4inged horses, and the Light H,,rsc were relieved by a party of the Royal Huts* Guards. firs M 4 3.
