• Irlit*tenants from Stockholm. which were lately
aseeisted, ►tating, that Russia had &dared was
against Sweden, appear to have been premature,
for though that event is to be exported, it has not
yet taken place; neither here the Ittissian and
Danish Ministers left Stockholm, nor the Swedish
Minister St. Petersburgh.
Every preparation is making in Swedish Finland
to oppose any attempt that mae be made against
it. On this side. the greatest activity prevails.
The Swedish fleet in Carlaerona, consisting of
12 sail of thetne, are nearly ready for sea.

Intelligence has just arrived that the French, to

Letters from lielsioburg, receive -1 this day state,
that the object of the above army is not to go to
Zealand, but to march through Jutland, and from
thence to embark fur INtirway, and by this route
enter Sweden. We are more i wspatient than ever for
the arrival of an English fleet to watch their mo-
tions. All accounts seem to corroborate their
being on their march thro►►gl► Holstein. have a
strange report to-day, that the Rdelifort 'Squadron

Orders hare been vent by their respective Courts
to the Russian and Prussian Ministers at Copen-
hagen, to make the strongest remonstrances against
the proceedings; of the Danes in' the Baltic, and
against the jurisdiction they bore assumed over
Russian and Prnssian ships.

The misery that ei.ts in theie parts new almost
beggars description, particutarly at Dsntzir, where
the exactions of the French daily increase. Many
of the necerarieS of life are difficult to he got,
and a total want of salt is soon to be apprehended.
The poor Prussians have been under the necessity
of prohibiting the isnportation of it from England,
but in Russia it it still allowea to come direct
from thence. •

SATURDAY. MARCH &

Three Gottenburgh Mails arrived liar night,
with letter. and papers front; that city, to the 23d
last. The acieuais of Russia having declared war
against Sweden, are, at least, prestatere. The
Prussian and Danish Ministers had not left Stock-
holm on the 15th, and the Swedish Minister re-
inabsed at Petersburgb. A French army of 40,000
men is upon its march, in two division., fur the
North. According to one account, the lit division
was to leave Liebeek on the 12th, for Zcaland, in
which BERNADOTTE had already arrived, and was
making the necessary preparations at Copenhagen.
A subsequent account, dated the 42d, states, that
the French army was not destined for Zealand,
but for Jutland, from whence it was to embark for
Norway, and finally proceed against Sweden. A
strange report prevailed at Gottenburg, that the
Rochfort squadron was expected to favou► this
operation. Letters Croat Bourdeaux, received at
Paris on the 211 February, state, that four French
frigates, which were in the Garonne. have also vw
culled to sea. These vessels may have been mis-
taken fur the Rochfort Squadron. The idea of a
partition of Turkey, and an Expedition to India,
is kept up in the Foreign Papers.

The Earl Spencer cutter is arrived at Plymouth
with ditp.atcliet. She left Lord Cocitsoworm off
l'alertne, nn the 16th of Jaimary, sad sailed (roan

Rochfort squadrno.—The Nautilus brig, which is
arrived off the Tagus, is said in some letters to have
communicated to our fleet, by the telegraph, that
the Rochfort squadron had passed the Gut of.
Gibraltar; other letters assert that she stated saint..
French ships of war to have Teased the Gut, with-
out spe;:iffing what they were. The result ire. ill'
this is, that Government are still without any an- •
thentic accounts of the Rochfort squadron. It

The ship J)cmernri is arrived at LiYerpooi with
letters and papers from Barbudoes to the Bth of
January, of which the follua nig is the substance :

la the debate in the Hnuse of Commons, on
Thursday night, on the Liverpool Petition, Gene-
ralTaarxrou uid,that it was not owing to- the loss
of the American Trade, but to the abolition of

the Slave Trade, that Liverpool now lauguishes.
We regret, that, from the lateness of the hour,
we were unable to give Mr. Wutreazan's answer.
In it he said " the gallant General with becoming
humanity has attributed the distress of Liverpool to
that which all must known be not the cause, mime-
ly the abolision of the Slave Trade ; be first taxed
.the house with a guilty adherence to truth, in its
admission of French bravery ; and next, with a cul-
pable performance of the duties of humanity to the
wretched Africans. Horrid coufeskion of yet more
horrid principles. Oh, Liverpool! Liverpool! how
greatly art thou fallen in thy representation ! Why
bast thou out returned to us a mihl, a humane, a
philanthropic Roscoe, to advocate the cause ofhu-
manity ! After having once rescued thy character
from disgrace, why didst thou again disgrace
thyself by sending one gallant General here to
•advocate the Slave Trade, and another gallant
General there to advocate the Slave Trade 1—

as the Honourable and *gallaut Member states, ef-
fected his ►eturn to Parlianieut. Little is the coun-
