SNEAD'S inquiries upon this subject leaves us
precisely iu the same stale of ignorance end
uncertainty as wr were before those quarks
were proposed. We have seen letters from very
intelligent Officers, of considerable rank, from
Gottenburgh. In their correspondence they ex.

ishineut and concern, at so fine a body of
English forces, ainountiug to more. thaw eleven

the Norwegians are fortifying the passes into their
country, and Beau Aoorre was preparing to posh
a body of French troops into Zealand. There was
a vague report at Gottenburgh, on the 20th, that
the British and Swedish troops were to make au at..
tack upon Zealand.
The latest accounts frets Finland are dated the
ifith May. At that date there was a cessation of
all military operations, end it appears that the
Swedes had completely failed ow the side of
Norway.

A convoy of Englivh and Swedes, for the Baltic,
amounting to 7o sail. have been attacked by a
Danish flotilla. Twenty-two were captured, of
wbieh 14 were Swedes. They were bravely de.

Senate, under Tumulus, we may see most ably
developed the vast plans already matured in
the capacious mind of the Coasicarr Ex-
reaon, fur the political resuscitation of Italy.
They embrace almost every object which eau
make that favoured portion of Eirope, not
COITI ercial, nourishing, tranquil, or
happy, but powerful on the water, aud an
instrument of vengeance in the band of its new
master against his enemies. If we eau induce our-
selves to put out of our contemplation the series of
eggressions, acts of violeuce, and contempt of ail
rights or titles, ig which NAPOLSON has just ob-
taiswd the possession of Tuscany and the Papal
Territories, sal it is vain to declaim airtime
superior power, divested of all nzeral principle
or restraint, we must allow that his projects
will soon chenge the aspect of the whole coast of
Italy, ou the Adriatic, noires than on the Mediter-
ranean. With consummate ability, he has selected
the Gulf of La Spezzia for the military port aud
arsenal of this new province. Its central position.
nearly midway between Genoa and Leghorn, the
depth, size, and safety of the harbour itself, which
is exempt from the defects of the two last men-
tioned ports, as well as the nature and productions
of the surrounding country ; all combine to render
it, iu his hands, u most important acquisition.—
We trust that Lord !dimmest is aware of
these facts ; they merit his attention, and will
soon very painfully occupy his time. It is
most curious, and world even he most enter-
taining, if' the subject were not too serious to
he considered without apprehension, to peruse
the great avowed outlines of Naroteox's plans of
re-creation throughout his newly-assumed Italian

pears, is to be sw allowed up in the French Empire.

suys he, in the Muni/our, of the ath of June, "shall

We suspect, indeed, by the threatening lan-
guage which he uses to.t.trtis the Emperor of
Moaciceu, that he fears some opposition to
his career of. plunder, violence, end crime, may
arise in that quarter. Means might be found,
by an active and culiv,,htened Government, to in-
for.o the Barbary b'iistes of the fut.,t,tr which N A PO..
LEON intends them. They poses ample faculties
of annoyist4, attacking, und distressing hint. En-
gaged as we are in a contest with such tt mn, wt!
need not be delicate about the instruments that we
use. In the sixteenth century, FRANCIs 1. was
censured by his contemporaries, for calling in So-
Ly KAN, the TUrkit4ll SOlttin, nod 1IARB•110111, to
his aid. Bat the severest t.:astiipt of the Romish or

of the l'rotestakt church mast equally approve et.-
' forts for limiting the further pro,oess of a power,
which seem' to truitt;ile under foot all the rights or
en;;agetnents that the most savage despots or the
'lost lawlessraffiatis have hitherto respectell.
The frloodierr has published an account of the
answer given by the Gover..or of Cadiz to Admiral
Putevis, but does not give the message sent into
Catliz by the latter. The answer was • refusal of
our proffered aisistanee, stating, that the difference
between the French and Spaniards was only a fli-
ntily quarrel, in which a stranger had uo right to
interfere; and that the French General was on his
parch, with 30,000 French, t. heal the breach.

A vessel, named the Ehtabisls, arrived on Mon-
day last at Derry, in the short space of seventeen
dais, from New York, with 66 passengers. The
accounts brought by her come down to the 46th
last, eleven days later than the intelligence brought
by the packet, which arrived last week at Falmouth.
They state that the Elisabeth was permitted by
special favour of the A nicitun Government, to he
purchased by a number of Irishmen, for the sole
purpose of conveying them to their native country;
that the most rigid measures were adopted that no
merchandise whateiier should be received on board,
and for that purpose Custom-bowie Officers were
kept on hoard until the moment of her sailing.
Merlon:Argo had in agreat degree lost the unpo-
pularity which at the outset attended it, and the
public mind was completely Made up to the times-
pity of its continuance, until the Orders of Coun-
cil mere repealed by Great:Britain, and the French
Decree rescinded; so that iu fact both these coun-
tries and France must mutually agree, before the
trade with America is rimmed by either; other
accounts state, that America was ready to renew
her former relations with the first of the bra powers
that annulled their obnoxious measures; ;anal),
greater precautions than before have bean taken to
enforce the embargo.

A considerable trade had been curried on be-
tween the Northern States and Canada, since the
pawing of the Non-importation and Ensisargo
Acts, by smuggling British goods into America,
and exporting their produce through the Lakes—
but this practice is now ut an end, as American
brigs of war are stationed in the narrows of Lake
C1114+1840 and the upper lakes, purposely to in-
Uri:apt all vessels engit4e 1 is that quarter.

The letter" and papers brought by the New York
Packet, arrived last week, are from taat city to
the 15th, and from Ilalifaz to the 30th last. In
the ports of the United States bordering upon the
British and Spanish possessions, along the Mimi*,
aippi, and in the diatnct of Vermont, and the whale
vicinity of Lake Champlain. the Embargo Act has
been, ta a great use sure, evatleiL In the latter
quarter, the disc ontent of the people against the
measure has broken out in insurrections, which
have assented so forinid tale a shape, the Pavai-
DENT has issued a Proclamation, requiring the civil
and military authorities to put theta down by force.
Shortly before the close of the Sessioa of Cots-
gress, several acts were also passed to insure the
strict observance of the embargo; aid the incon-
venience attending the Nou-importation Act, it was
hoped, would be am some measure compensated by
the improvement forced in native inautilactures,
particular) that of broad cloth. The number of
acts iu the session amounts to 6t; but we
do not ind among thaw the act e ,cctriati tog

der the Orden of Council of the 11th November.
Mr. CANNING, in his "sewer to Mr. WHITBREAD.*
questions, respecting our foreign relations, states',
that there was reason to believe that the reparation
offered for the affair of the (Andreae was satis-
factory to the American Goveniment. The New
York Papers lead us to apprehend the contrary.—
It appears that the picoers respecting France and
England were %a:omitted to a Committee in the
latter end of the Sess.on, sad iu the Itepm-t of that
Cocninitte.! it is stated. Void the repsertion offered
left the case just where it was. We aim find that
Mr. MUSKOK has felt himself called upon to ex-
plain the causes which induced him and his co-
adjutor, Mr. PINCOLNLY, to sign the treaty with
Great Bri anus which was rejected by the
D6ST. Mr. McNaoa's defence is a proof of the
aad firmness of the British Ministers who
to.gociated that Treaty ; and when we recollect the
reproaches which Were heaped upon them by the
oreseut Ministers, by whom they were rhaegeci with
having in,•anly conceded oar rights to .tune iea, the
disgust which surh unmerited 11-shimmy inn-, have
