LONDON,
THURSDAY, MAY 28.

The Hamhurgh Papers, which arrived on Tues-
day, stated that the King of Swint,: had ratified the
armistice with France. A Gottenburgh Mail ar-
rived yesterday, with letters and papers from
that city to the 19th, which state that nothing
was known upon the subject at that date, and
that the King had arrived is Stralsund on the 13th.
It is extraordinary that if the ratification had been
given with the distinguished marks of honour stated
in the Hamhurgh Papers to have been conferred
upon General Vow EMS, who concluded it, such
an event would he well known at Hamburgh, on the
21st, and a secret at Gottenburgh on the 18th,
Dutch Papers have Alin arrived, to the 25th, con-
taining advice: from Berlin, to the 16th. They, on
the other hand, repeat, that the King of Swzotm
has not only ratified the Armistice, but expressed
his readiness to eater into a Negociation for Peace,
under the mediation of Denmark.

The New Ministers had scarcily kissed hands,
when they instritßed their Prints to announce a for-
midable Expedijon in preparation, and to be speed-
ily produced upon the polkicai stage. Their Prints
certainly displayed becoming zeal in the execution
of these orders. They lost not a moment to pro-
vide a sufficient number of transports, and sent a
squadron cf mcn of war to the Note, to escort them
to their destination. The necessary number of
ttonps, viz. 20,000, were also provided without delay,
and the piece was gut up in the completest style
possible, with the trifling exception, that, while
some of the ti*wspapers were embat king them at
the Nwe, others bad aftually embarked them at
Portsmouth. They also have not been able to agree
open the precise regiments or Commanders, one
giving the chief command to Genet.' Sir Jour
Seams IT, and another asserting, that he is in bad
health, and must stay at home. That an eapedi.
tion of same sort, however, was to sail, without
delay, appeared quite certain; and as expedi-
tion, and nothing but as expedition, has ac-
cordingly been the order of the day these
two months past. The Treasury prints, fearing
that they have exhausted the patience of their
readers, begin now to precnd that they have been
led astray. One of them, in its number of yester-
day says, ei We are not a little surprised to find that
n.) expedition has yet set sail, nor seems to be alstrut
to set sail for the Baltic. It is true that the late Mi-
nisters divided and scattered our military force so
as to leave their successors less means—but enough
