We have received* series of the Itarnhargh Co.-

made several extract*. Among them is a Russian
State Paper, dated St. Petershurgh, the 16th March,
in which Swedish Fialaad is declared a compered

Empire. The preamhleof this deed of eonveyance

sail of the line, 5 frigates, and several brigs, ar-
rived in Toulon on the preceding day.—Frotn the
pro•.i:uity of Mir:edles, no account., except one
from Toulon, could be more satisfactory. This

intelligence is also more recent thus any in the
