We stated on Saturday the arrival of a Mes. senger, but that he had brought nothing decisive. In the City the apprehension of War seemed to have gained ground, and the Funds felt a sensible de pression. They left off' on that day at 63 ; and were at twelve o'clock this day at 631. The Answer to the Dispatch of the ;4th, has been anxiously looked for every hour since Fri.. day last, and had not arrived this forenoon.— No persons can have waited with more anxiety for it than ourselves. The Reply to the demands which were then made, it Was thought, would cer. tainly contain .the Ultimatum upon all the points in the Negotiation. We have not heard any suffi cient grounds on which we Can venture to give "st very decided opinion- as to the result. Immediate and aaive War we dO not exped ; and iecure Peace, we fear, is out of the question. If, however, the Dispute end with the retention of Malta on our party and the apparent adjustment of the other subordinate points iu contention, we ought at least to be satisfied, until new projeda and encroachments chew us that the evil day was only put off for the purpose of waiting for bet ter opportunity. If the adjustment does not go to this extent, and if Negotiation is spun out on the part of France ; not for the purpose of fairly dis. cussing the subjeds in dispute, or with the in tention of yielding the smallest point, in that case the Public would,, in the present stag nation of trade, and under the various evils arising from suspense, have reason to com. plain ; but this His Majesty's Ministers, we arc sure, will not permit. There is another case which we think as probable as any, and upon which we feel how difficult it might be to ad. If none of the points contended for are conceded, we suppose Lord Witirsvoivrii will be recalled; but when he is recalled, what is next to be done ?' Instead of living in coun tries to which he does not belong, each Am. bassador will return to his native soil ; and this state of things we shall call War, with about as much •ruth as we have called what we 'have seen for the last year, Peace. All this is possi. ble ; and in so new a situation, and in one of so much difficulty, we wish for a general co. operation of the great Talents of the Country; Ministers' will, we are convinced, ad honestly for the Nation, as far as depends upon them, but, in the extraordinary situation in which we are placed, we want to excite Unanimity, and to create Con& Bence. WE received this morning the Path . Papers to the 29th ult. The Moniteur announces officially the Evacuation of Alexandria by the English on the t7th of March ; and it adds, that the English took away all the brass cannon and military stores.— There is nu doubt but the English were completely justified in so doing, because they were taken from the French ; but how the French are to be justified in taking them from their ancient Friend and the Porte, it remains for the ingenuity of the Moni. teur to point our. The Captain of a French Vessel who arrived on the 22d at Bourdeaux, states that he fell in, off the Azores, with an English Squadron which was conveying to England the Garrison of the Cape of Good flop:. Letters from Strarbursb, dated the H.th ult. estate that the Imperial Rati:ication to the candusum of the Diet of the Empire had aFrived at y,4tisbon., The Funds arc 53. so. THE I:,,St 'AIM'S from the North pf Europe no-, tt,ce a misunderstanding which his arisen between Rl:(!itz and Stu/to/en. This dispurc, which is stated to . Wye been caused merely by some discussions rt. , p).,4ting a Bridge - on the Frontiers of t h e two l'etvers; in fact QW . t."! S its orit;in, in a great ()nastily, to the'lcilowing ; ti r Whcp lately the t 1 BEN Of SWIDEN was deli. vered of a Son, the King, his Father, created him Grand Duke of Finland, a Pro Vince which, at pre. sent, partly belongs to Russia : it was, therefore, rather impolitic to revive a title, insignificant in it. self, but which might be construed to contain pre. tensions to the whole of Finland. 1 ' It is true, that in the year 1680, the Father of the Great GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS, was Grand Duke of Finland before he ascended the Swedish Throne, under the name of CHASLIS IX. but at that time the Grand Dutchy of Finland belonged entirely ta.Sweden ; and the etiquette and customs ) ,of Sovereigus had not yet established it as a rule, , 01 for more than a Century, has been respe4ed and tacitly acknowledged, that the Title of Grand Duke belonged only to the Imperial Families of rie/ma and St. Peterthurgh. " In the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Sweden in 1790, it was agreed on to nominate Corn. tnissioners to teplate their respeCtive frontiers in Finland ; but the assassination of the late, and the minority of the present King, tetarded it until last year, when the Russian and Swedish Commissioners met, and it was expetted that every thing would be amicably adjusted. The revived title, however, irritated Russia, without being beneficial to Swe den, and the discussion about a title at St. Peters. burgh and Stockholm, if report is true, has been followed by some alts of insult and violence on the frontiers of Finland. 6 6 The EMPEROR of Russ' A, and the KING of SWEDEN, are brothers-in.law, both young, of great natural abilities, improved by superior educa tion, philanthropic, generous, and virtuous, and destined by equal age, talent, rank, and consan. guinity, to be friends, if Monarchs ever were des. tined to .enjoy the blessings of equal friendship. It is therefore reasonably to be hoped that this mo mentary'. disagreement between two such 'a'rinces, will be settled without bloodshed, and 'without per mitting any third or upstart Power to interfere either at mediator or diaator. • ' go Russia can command 400,000 men, Sweden can hardly bring into the field 40,000 men. The contest is too unequal ; Russia is too generous to abuse its power, and the King of Sweden too wise to hazard his kingdom for a mere• title or a bridge over a river." Saturday morning, Hee MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES, attended by Lady CALTHORI'S, took an airing to Frogmore. On Saturday a Messenger was dispatched to Hts MAJESTY at Windsor, with the contents of the Hamburh Mails. The MICK of CUMBERLAND arrived a t Windsor on Saturday afternoon, on a visit to THEIR MA JESTIES. - Early on Saturday morning His MAirsTv, at. tended by General GWYN and Capt. FITzaoT, left Windsor for Brick Bridge, where the Earls of SANDWICH and TEMPLETOWN, Messrs. BUCK. RJDGE, RAMSISOTTOM, BARTON, and a number of other Gentlemen of distinlion, met Hts MAJESTY. Soon after the arrival of His MAJgrrY, the Deer was started for the day's diversion, when he ran with great speed, and made for Lord BRAYBROOK'S Park, and many of the huntsmen went through his Lordship'? yard, close to the house, taking through the wood to the right by Ruskhatn and Twyont, • leaving Hare Hatch to the right, crossed the Bath road, and made through the Thames near Sunning. The Sportsmen crossed Sunning BriiTge, and some of them made over by the Ferry : by this time the deer had got a little law before the Sportsmen could cross the water. The deer on starting again ran with great swiftness through the inclosures to the right of Reading. This famous deer chewed such sport as , has not been enjoyed this year; he was at length taken within a few miles of Nettlebed, in Oxfordshire. On his being taken, SHARP, the Royal Yeoman Pricker, was first up, and just in time.to save his life, but would not have been able to accomplish the desired ohjed, had not Gosorx, another Pricker, and Mr. MATON, one of the Gen denten Sportsmen, arrived to his assistance. HIS MAJESTY was highly pleased with the day's sport, which lasted upwards of three hours. His MAJESTY and Suite, after the spot.' was over, rode to Henley, and took a rst-chaise and four to Wind sor, where His MAJESTY arrived a few minutes after four o'clock. The place where the Deer was taken, is 23 miles from Windsor. • This closes the Hunt for the Season. Yesterday morning the ROYAL FAMILY Attended Divine Service at St. George's Cathedral, Windsor, when an excellent Sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. HALLAM, Canon in Residence, from the 311 Chapter,of Proverbs, and r sth verse : " For whoin the Lord loveth he corredteth, even as a Father the Son In whom he delighteth." Last Wednesday the Earl of CARDIGAN was sworn in High Steward of the Borough of Windsor, in the room of the late Lord BEAULII7. The Mayor and the whole of the Corporation in their full robes attended the Ceremony. The N o bl e E ar l entertained the Corporation with a most excellent dinner in the Town Hall, on the occasion, at which every delicacy which `cite season affords was serv. ed up.
