Sir JAMES CRAWFORD arrived yesterday in
town from Berlin. He was (the of the many captives
made by BON AP ARTE, at the breaking out of tie
war, but had the good fortune to escape to Berlin.
Mr. Twill as Huscrait, private Messenger to Mr.
Sacitsosa, our Minister at Bolin, came over with
Sir .1 AMES CRAWFORD, with dispatches. They left
that city on the 27th August, and embarked at Elsi-
neur ; bu, were obliged, lily contrary winds, to put
into Gottenburg, where Sir J AMES CRAWFORD took
a packet for England, and landed at Scarborough
upon Friday last. He left 150 sail of merchant-
men, completely laden for England, at Elsineur,
waiting for a convoy.

One of the two liamburgh Mails due arrived
vsterday, with let:e, s and papers to the Bth instant.
Szveral preparatioas of tae Freacn in Hs-rover indi
care an apprehension of. an attack in that quarter.
They are repairing the old fortifications, and build-
ing new. These, however, are merely defensive
measures, as we do not find that their army has
received rrity reinforcements. In Italy, on the con-
trary, new military occupations are ordered in the
neutral and friendly territories of the Pore and of the
King of NAPLLS. The arrival of Russian troops in
the :;ceen Irlands is the pretext for these proceed-
ings. Trop; are marching from the South of
France and North of Italy, to augment the army
under General Se. Cita s and we may shortly ex-
peß that the city of Naples is in the hands of a
French soldiery. If the Austrian Cabinet be a little
behind in creating for itself a new tide, it is resolved
to have the start in the spseacle of a revolution-
ary coron aims : Fa *Nos the SecoND will be
crowned upon the 15th of Ntober, and NArotEON
the Fi as r upon the 9th of November. This is a
political triumph anclifotene worthy of thegenius and
loyalty of those political heroes—the two Cu.
EItNIFZELS.

Several German Princes have taken apartments
at Mentz and Straeburgl►. Ac TALLEVRAND ac•
companies 13JSAPARTC. we may be assured that
some negociations, or raliter intrigues, to deg tde
and divide the continent, are in contemplation.
Among the grounds of this opinion, we find, that
ad Bums's". res agents to the Princes upon the
nigh; bank of the Rhine are ordered to join their
Suvereijn at Mentz.

Motestxua, we understand, left town yesterday,
for the purpose of proceeding to join Lis illustrious
brother, Louis the XVIII. the King of France,
at Calmar, in Sweden, where he will probably be
von jrined by some other members of the But:a-
im: Family. In our paper of Wednesday, we
announced erchilitse/y that His MAJESTY had sud-
denly left Grodno. This unexpected step has
caused several speculations, and various rumours
upon the Continent. A gentleman, who landed at
Gravesend on Saturday, communicates the f; dlow-
ing particulars, which in some degree elucidate
this mysterious business : The influence of Boma-
! AST* at Berlin, and the impunity which his hired
assassins were strre to enjoy at the former capital of
Poland, stew that the King of FRANCE was no
longer cafe at Warsaw. But hardly had
Louts the El MIT ERN 14 remained six days at Grod-
no, when the same suspicious charthers, who
had hitherto watched his motions, made their
appearance. In Russia, the laws of hospitality are
inviolable, and the police is very severe ; but, as he
had no positive proof of criminal design against
these men, His Most CHRISTIAN MAJESTV, with
that generosity which has uniformly distinguished
hi. coniun. preferred to leave his quiet retreat,
and become again a wanderer; a living example
of the vicissitudes of fortune, which gave him a
right to a throne, but refused him the hum-
blest home ; rather than by his stay to be the
source of any uneasiness to the Russian Govern-
, mem. Ever since the murder of the Duke ..f EN-
on I tN spewed the fate for which the barbarous Cor-
can had marked the remaining members of the I louse
of Bouaaos, the young King of Swxots has
pressed the King of FRA Net to accept in his domi-
nions an asylum, where neither the Corsican livery,
nor bribes of indemnity, could protein foreign assas-
sins from punishment. His Manus', therefore,
having quitted Grodno at midnight, proceeded to
Mittau, where he remained until a vessel was !sited
at the nearest sea-port, where he embarked fax Cal-
mar, where His MAJESTY intends to fix his re-
sidence, there to await a change of fortune. Cal-
mar, the capital of the county of the same name,
is situated upon the Baltic, in the Province of
Smaland, and contains about 5000 inhabitants.
It is neatly built, and has a castle, in which
Ha bl start. v will reside. Being a ftontier
town, many battles have been fought in its neigh-

hour-hoed between Siveden and Denmark, until;
by the vitiories,of Ca/times X. the former acquired
the Provinces of Scania, Halland, and Bleking,
from the latter. It was there the union of Calmar was
concluded in the fifteenth century, which united,
under the sceptre of the Great MARGARITIIA, called
the SCNII s. ADA is of the Norzls, the three kingdoms of
Denmark, Norway, and !+weden; an union ..fter-
wards dissolved by the massacres of the Swedish no-
bility by the Danish King CHRISTIERN It. The
people here, as in every other part of Sweden, are
poor, but hospitable, lively, and fond of strangers,
and in no kingdom of Europe is the spirit of chi-
valry so high. Louis the EicirEcnvii, therefore,
could not choose an asylum more suited to his cir-
cumstances and his fortune. There is another sea-
son for this preference given to Sweden: Count
De Fuesser, formerly a Colonel of the regimen:
Royal &whoa:, in the French service, saved the life
of His Most CHRISTIAN MAJESfY in June, 1791,
by aiding his escape by Valenciennes, when Louis
the XVlth was arrested at Varennes. This Noblo-
man is now one of the Members of the Swedish
Regency. during the absence of his Sovereign. It
was this Nobleman, who, in o,3ober, 1793, at the
risk of his life, penetrated into the dungeon of the
Conciergerie at Paris, to administer consolation,.
and to offer d,liserance to the disconsolate widow
of Louis XVI. the once beautiful MARIA Awro [-
NETTIE, who, trusting to her rank, her sex, and her
innocence, declined the offer, and became a vi tilt
to her mistaken confidence in the honour and justice
of revolutionary Brigands. Since that period, I lis
MAJESTY has resided at Brussels, at Coblentx, at
Turin, at Verona, with the army of CONDE, in
Denmark, at Mittau, at Warsaw, and at Crud's°.
The wanderings of the King of FRANCE in th,
North of Europe do not excite more compassion in
the breasts of the Continental Princes, than the
wanderings in the South of another exiled Sove-
reign. the King of SARDINIA. Tney stand upon
the brink of an abyss into which every revolution.
ary blast threatens to plunge them ; and, surround-
ed with danger, they suffer themselves to be amused
with new tides, impolitic fetes, and puerile shews.
They are dancing upon the tomb of royalty, instead
of punishing the assassin, by whose arm royalty
war overthrown. They are courting a monster,
who is ready to devour them, instead of hunting
him from his den.

Yesterday morning arrived a Mail from Lisbon,
also one from New York and Halifax ; particulars

It is reported that BONAPARTE; after trying in
vain to extort money for a third time from the
Hanseatic towns, upon the security of Hanover, has
changed his plan of plunder, and offered to give
up, for certain sums, as he lately has done the
County of Rentheim, to the surrounding Princes and
States, provinces, towns, and villages, as
and security for the sums advanced to France,
which guarantees their possessions until the bus rowed
money is repaid. In this manner,the countries arooLd
Munster and Gottingen, with these two towns, in the
vicinity of the Hessian territory, have been waled to
the Mellor of HESSE; as a deposit for a loin of one
million of dollars. The Dukxs of tia ssw ice and
NIIICKI essettolt have been offered countries and
towns in the vicinity of their Duchies upeai the same
ter Ills ; and it is asserted as a fact, for .: loan 411
three millians of dollars, the King tf PRUSSIA has
been offered, as a deposit, Hendon git, Stade, and all
the towns and villages on the lel t bank of the Elbe,
from 11m-burgh to the sea, be-Lles a part of the in-

are as wide and unconnected, as if we were at open
