Amongst the variety. of subjects, which, in the conrsr
of the week, have occupied the attention of the public.
sone .has excited more surpr.se or more regret, . than a n_
ccrted misunderstanding between the Commanders of our
pedition to the Baltic, and the gallant King of SWEDEN.
After the conduct of that Monarch toward us ; after his
. refusing to enter into any compromise with the enemies of
this country ; after ha'. mg hazarded the security of his
crown in consequence of his ailh.‘rence to the common
cause of European independence ; after the frequent men-
tion made by his Majesty's mintstersof his strict adherence
to his engagements; shall we give credit to the misunder-
standing slid to ha.e existed bet reen Sir JORN MOOR E atee
big Ida.issiv.—We would wish, for the honour of our
General, and even for the consistency of Ministers, that
,this disagreeable rumour could only be traced to the in-
ventive heads of some of our journalists. But this entire
stair is s:ill so mysterious, that we are absolutely afraid
of communicating our sentiments upon it. We would
willingly disbelieve it ; we would even willingly commit-
siesta to the public the reasons we have to discredit it.
We will only add, is there any satisfactory communi-
cation as yet made to the public, to induce us nil at
once to renounce the high opinion we are certainly justi-
fied in fermium of the Swedish Minarch ; certainly not.
Or, shall we throw the blame on Sr JOHN Moone. This
would he both premature and indiscreet before we are bet-
ter acquainted with the circumstances, than we are as et
from the obsence hints thrown out in some of the daily pa-
pers. Should this circumstance however be true, which
we sincerely hope is not the case, the strictest *main%
should he inai'e, every satigactiou given to the gallaii•
Monarch, who came forward in so honourable a manner,
in support of the common cause.
This is not, certainly, a moment for our Gererals to dis-
play their courage or inclepentlence, by entering into a dis-
pute with the only ally we had on the Continent We have
already suffered too much from the indiscretion of some;
and there is something so repugnant to our feelings, some-
, things) ungrateful in the transaction, that we feel strongly
inclined to reject it whi Ily ; and to consider it, notwith-
standing the variet,y of channels through which it has been
communicated, as an idle or malicious rumour.

TURKISH EMBASSY.
The arrival of two Tnrk sh Envoys t as been as unexpecte('
as it is important. Their object is undoubtedly the re-esta-
blishment of peace between the two countries. it woult
be useless to point out the advantages that would result
from this event. Exclusive of its opening a new inarkel
to our merchants, it w'll have very considerable effect
towards hastening the decision of Austria ; which, in case
of a war with France, would be exposed to considerable
inconvenience, in having in her rear a power absolutely at
the discretion of the latter. This important intelligence.
has been communicated to us in a leiter from Plymouth,
dated 12th July.
" Late last evening arrived here the Bittern sloop of war, of
18 guns, Capt. Usher, from Malta, Gibraltar, and Vigo, with
dispatches of vet.) great importance for Government ; after the

was tired from the Bittern. She called off Cadiz about three
weeks since, and brings a confirmation of the French men of war
in that harbour being in possession of the Wniards; and it is

struck his colours, and has since died of his wounds.

It is reported that a Proclamation has been issued by the
Junta of aeville, ordering the arrest of General Escncir*-
it lA, as a Traitor. This is the Officer who commanded the
t'atriots in their first action with Durowt's army, in which
they were worsted. He had, under the former Govern-
ment, been guilty of some mal-practices, for which he was
exiled to Ceuta. The above Proclamation is dated the I Itb
of June.

INTERESTING ADVICES FROM THE SPANISH

PATRIOTS.

The Spanish Commissioners appointed by the Supreme Coun-
cil of Seville. to conclude a Treaty of Peace Lod Alliance he-
tweet' Great Britain and Spain, are arrived. The Commissioners
ere Admiral Hon Apodaca, and Major General Hon Jacomie.
they are accompanied by two other persons of distinction, in
the capacity of Secretaries. They landed at Portsmouth on
Chursday, amidst the acclamations of the populace and the ring-
•ng of bells. His Majesty's ship Revenge, which brought them
'rum Cadiz, was decorated with the Spanish flag, and her coin-
, atander, Sir John Gore, wore the cockade of the Patriots, with
e inscription, " Long live Ferdinand the Seventh." He was
erequently on shore at Cadiz, and, w hen he first landed, such was
the enthusiasm of all ranks and descriptions, and their high es-
tisem for the British character, that it was with great difficulty
le could vet excused from being carried by Ladies along the
streets. The Commissioners reached town on Friday, and have
already had an interview with Mr. Secretary Canning. The ac-
