LONOON,

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.

A most respectable Meeting of the Merchants
interested in the trade with America, was yester-
day convened at the City of Louden Tavern, for I
the purpose of considering nod concurring is the
propriety of presenting a Petition to niehament,
against the Bill founded on the Orden of Conseil.
Mr. ALL/ASPER BALtllttl was in the Chair. cud
with great persp.cnity stated the iiijury likely to
occur to the commercial interests of this couutry.
Irons the system of alleged vigour carried on by
Ministers. not against Primate, but against the
trade of this country, and neutrals in amity with
it. 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." This was supported by Mr. MA a-
lIITAT, Mr. GOADON. Mr. LUsittWartoll, and some
ethers; and was ably opposed by Mr. (Usual,.
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. The minority. however, siuned the
Petition, which was prepared, and voted their
naanimons Thanks to Mr. BARING, for his im-
partial sad atote toriduct in the Cimar.
