lt apt,cars that Bu ONAP A ItT e, notwithstanding his
silence respectipr., Sweden, is apprehensive of an attack from
that ("tt titer, as AUGEREAU has left Stralsund, for the purr
pose f c dlecting and organizing a corps of 60,000 inen,who
are to b! stationed on the shores of the Baltic.
An a stick, d tted Warsaw, mentions a supposition, that the

( over the two capitals of St. Petersburgh and Most )w; tenth
of which cities ate iepresented to be threatelied by a Vieuch

several skirmishes and atfairs of posts ; in one of which, the.
hussars of Besse Homburg too'; a convoy of 198 waggme,
and 398 horses. (ht the 25th ofittly the Russians advanced
upon Pinsk, in order to recover the magazines which had
been previously taken Burn them ; but they were obliged t(i
retire, as it is said, with great loss, and without achievii.g

A definitive treaty of alliance has been concluded be-
tween this country and Persia ; an event of no small im-
pottance, and which may be attended with very beneficial
results to this country. All the endeavours of the French
to form a similar treaty have been in vain.
A poll-tax has been ordained in Germany, at the rate of
a florin per head. When the intelligence of the battle of
Salamanca was received at Vienna, the French Ambassador
issued hand-bills to contradict the false report, which was,
nevertheless, firmly believed.
A report has been circulated, that several American pri-
vateers had entered the port of Liverpool, in New Bruns-
wick (Nova Scotia) ; and that their crews had landed, and,
after plundering the inhabitants, had set fire to the town,
which was completely destroyed. No account of such an
event has reached the Administration.
The Court of Denmark is said to have discovered a cor-
respondei cc, proving that a plan had been formed between
Great Britain, Russia, and Sweden, to wrest from the Danish
Govermnent the .Island of Zealand.
It is reported, but we hope without truth, that it is the
intention of Government, next Session, to propose to in-
crease the Income Tax to Twelve and one-half per cent.
We should be better pleased to bear of retenchments, by
which a saving might be made to afford a reduction of the tax.
The French Eagles, captured at Salamanca, are to be
deposited, with military and appropriate ceremony, in the
Royal Chapel, at W bitehall.
