The peace has been promulgated in all the cities
of the Empire with the greaten witemnity, and
amidst unanimous And loud repeated cries of—Len:
live apol,ese the Gress Everywhere the phial c
jay and gratitude have been manite.ied by spon-
taneous illuminations, and devices and initeripsiosis
suited to the occasion. _

No important event has marked the senseless
war which the King of Sweden already repents
having provoked. The English landed in the Isle
of Rugen do not seem very alums to take part
in it. The Swedes are tars ar-stos:k o 1 seeing that
they have emoatked in a quarrel to obviously an-
qual. Th.y fear, and with tc..S much reason.
that the generosity of the Emperor may have been
wearied out by the extravagant condua of their
Sovereign. The possesion of Stralsund and Pnme•
rania was advantageous to Sweden both on account
of their commercial relations and of the political
smseleration it gave her in the affirs of the N 1 tit ;
but the scandalous example of this rupture expo"-,
the King of Swedon to the risk of being excluded
from this side the Baltic. We are ignorant what
hopes the British Government have given him—
bin he cannot eapeS any ecrovel-nt for the losses
he has to fear. When all the nations of she Coot -
nent sigh for Pewee, he has infried himwlf too
easily to be persuaded by the English to farni.h
them with the means of disowning it. The com-
mon interew ought to get rid of every one who
!views himself d.sonsedtis endanger the tranquility
of Europe.—(Arse

The rows of Rovigno was yesterday bombarded
by an English Frigate ; the following are the causes
which led to that event :—The English Frigate took
possession of a Hark coming from A.bruaci, laden
with wine. The English Captain took three sailors
out of the Bark, and put three of his own on board,
and desired them to make for the port of Lanni.
1 he Captain of the Bark, however, instead of obey-
ing this order, ma le for Port P..vigno. having pee-
ei,nisty made the 3 hi'iglishmen drunk. 'The Littlish
Captain having soon received information of this cir-
cumstance, sent a Flag of Truce to Rovigno to de-
mand the B rrk. The Magistrate of the town. how.
ever, replied, that he could not givenp the Bark
wi flout orders from the Commandant at Cape Ma-
tti s ; and accordingly he sent a Messenger thither.
The Commandant at Capc Insttia immediately sent
six gun-hours to Rovignn, but as soon as the Captain
of the English frigate saw them approach, be open-
ed a heavy fire upon Rovirtn, and in a short time
all the houses situated near the water side were con.
vet ted into a heap of gains.
