We have received Paris papers to the 2.oth list,
and The Leyden Gazette of the 25th. The Casette de.
France contains a letter, dated Hamburgh, but evi

dently of French manufaaure, which states, that
by the latest accounts from Sweden, a fermentation
already begins to manifest itself in that country, in
consequence of the course pursued by its King.—
We find in the French Papers several other articles
of the same infamous description, fabricated for the
same revolutionary purpose. and as such, entitled
to universal contempt.

The result of the occupation of Cattaro, is not yet
ascertained. One account states, that the return
of the French troops which were evacuating Ger-
many, has not only been suspended, but that Mar-
shal [AS MR It'S corps, 20,000 strong,has re-crossed
the Rhine, and advanced to Darmstadt. An ar-
ticle from Sttrgard of the 12th, states, on the con-
trary, that the order for suspending the return of
the Austrian prisoners has been set aside. We shall
net be surprised to find that the difference between
Austria and France has been settled. as Prince
ScHwAßzsaiEßO has been sent by the Emperor of
Ausr eta to Paris, with full powers to died as ad-
justment.

By the Presoyante store-ship, arrived in the
Downs, we have received the following letter, dated
G6raltar, March 31:—" This day's letters from
Spain state, that a war between that country and
Portugal is certain ; and that 50,000 French coops
are on their march to Portugal." Private letters
state, that ‘, On the 18th of March, accounts were
received at Gibraltar, from Madrid, announcing
that, in consequence of the Prince of Ilia Azti. be-
ing pronounced to be completely deranged. without
any hope of recovery, the Walloon Guards, and
several other Spanish re,;irnents, were ordered to be
in readiness to march to Lisboa."

We yesterday announced the arrival of the Done-
psi, one of Admiral DUCKWORTH'S ships, at Ports.
mouth. The japiler, one of the French prizes.
arrived on Wednesday evening at Spithead. 'the
other, the Alexander, is hourly expeCted. The
officers of the Do,,egal had not heard the report
of a second French squadron being in the West
Indio', until their arrival at Portsmouth. It
therJore cann't ►e true. Admiral Ducxwoarit
was spoken with by the Donegal, off Cape Nichols
Mole, steering foe Cadiz. The Canopus, Admiral
Louts, and the Spencer, are returning to Eggland.

His MAs est. v's ship P•nepfe, Rear-Ayliniral !Sir
SI 011611' SNIT I, Gtpt. Daeees, arrived at Gibral-
tar, on the 7th last, with a fleet under convoy, from
Faltrouth, in 25 day's passage.
T. transports arrived in the Downs on Wednes-
day, from the river, with troops on board. Their
destination is a profound secret.
Our private letters contain farther particulars of
the loss of The R . The crew bad been constantly
at the pumps, for three days and three nights, he-
fore she went down. They add, that three of
the Crew were lost. The Braave had suffesed
greatly in the aftion in St. Domingo Bay, in
which she was taken by Admiral DUCKWOIITH
she had several men at work en her stern, when
the English hove in sight, the fastenings of the
scaffold, on which the workmen were, viLra cut,
and the whole dropped into the sea. She was
then six feet by the stern, and continued so the
whole engagement. The French Admiral sus-
tained the joint attack of two English seventy-
four's, for a considerable length of time, at
length Le Braave came to her assistance ; but very
unfortunately for herself, as the French Admiral,
in the confusion that prevailed, and probably owing
also to the great smoke, poured in a whole broad-
side from her lower deck guns into Le Broare, which
totally dismasted her ; the latter vessel, however,
sustained the fight. after everpother French ship
was apparently subdued, or driven on there.
The Barbadoes Paper, of the 15th last, received
yesterday, says, " To the late captures made of the
enemy's privateers, we have the pleasure of adding
another, making five of their best cruisers, taken
within the last tour weeks, and proving the dili-
gence and aBivity of our navy on the station. His
Maimses brig Weistrint, Capt. Co Lit ma, brought
in, on Thursday last, Le Triniver. French schooner,
of 3 guns and 53 men, captured on the 12th inst.
after a chase of fifteen hours : she was thirteen days
from Guadeloupe, but had not made any capture.
Also the Selcour, of 14 guns ; Racoon, of S guns ;
Hero, of 18 18-pounders ; and Le Dame Ernoigf, of
15 guns ; and we do not hear of more than
two or three privateers being to windward."
