POLITIC./ t liNT, O THE WREN*

It would appear that some relaxtion is introduced in
the interdiction of intercourse .betwceo tnis country
and Holland. We have had frequent comemnications
with that country, through the neutrals, during the course
of last week ; but the circumstances have not been fully
explained. We know not elicit:fr the commercial neces-
sities of the Dutch have produced sonic mitigation in their
favour of the decrees of exclusion ; whether ineans of aid-
ing them have been devised ; of «iwther the occurrence is
purely accidental, and is not Elects to happen again.
We have by these communications obtained Dutch Jour-
nals down to so late a date as the: stir instant. We have,
likewise, received Paris and Ilamburgh Papers of s recent
date. They present us with accounts of some transactions
in Calabria, in which we are interested. Preparations, we
are informed, arc making for the attack of I ort Seylla,
which is still in the possession of the English, and they boast
of having obtained advantages over a detachment, partly
from this Fort, and partly from the Sicilian coast. Hut we
cannot learn distinctly what was the object which this de-
tachment was intended to gain ; and the Neapolitan state-
ment appears involved in confusion and obscurity. It is
also affirmed, that the Fortress of It has been subdued:
that the garrison, aniounting to 900 men, have been made
prisoners, as well as 200 men who were on hoard an English
brig, stranded on the coast. The name of the Captain of
this brig is stated to be Claston ; but there is no such name
in the List of Captains in the 11ritish Navy. However, the
French editors make such havoc of English names, that this
may be sonic real name, mangled in the spelling.
A considerable body of Austrian troops is directed to
march ards the. Turkish frontier. Those persons, how-

,

172

ever, are much deceived, who interpret this into an indica-
tion of the development of a concerted design between
Austria, Russia, and France, for the immediate partition
of the Ottoman empire. It may, with sufficient cer-
tainty, be interpreted into an indication of a jealousy on
the part of Austria respecting the designs of Russia and
France on the Turkish dominions, and a determination to
make strong efforts for obtaining her share of the spoil,
when the day of distribution arrives. It ought always to
be held in remembrance by the Government of this Coun-
try, that few arrangements on the Continent can be of
greater moment to us than that the share of Austria in the
partition of Turkey should be large. This, with a radical
improvement of her Government, might give her weight
and infinence to trim the balance between Russia and
France, and Milk-a the rest of Europe some degree of tran-
quillity from the designs of both.
Two Decrees of JTJ%*OT have been received. In the one,
it is denounced, in the usual style, that the House of Bra-
ganza has ceased to reign. In the other is declared, the
plan Of Government according to which Portugal is, for
the present, to be administered. No King is spoken of.
JeigoT, with the title of Governor in Chief, is to rule in
the name of Ii:INAPARTE, aided by a Council of Govern-
ment, a Secretary of State, and other Officers. The pro-
vinces are each to have two local Magistrates, the one a
Civil Magistrate, the other Military ; the latter to have no
function not purely military, excepting the charge of pre-
serving tranquillity and order. We find, too, that pretty
many contributions have been imposed upon the Portu-
guese. In return BONAPAI:Tr. tells tliem that he will teach
them to improve their agriculture: and their industry.
The designs of France, in reg•ard to pain, continue still
involved in considerable mystery. The garrison towns on
the Spanish coast are, it seems, to be take!' possession of
by French troops. We have received intelligence, that
10,000 had marched into Ilarcelona, and that an equal
number were on their march to Cadiz. A Brest force of
French soldiers is now in Spain and Portugal ; and whether
the overthrow of the Spanish Government, the siege of
Gibraltar, or both, is the object, is now the subject of con-
jecture. What particular turu the caprice or projects of
BovarAsTp.: may give to those allairs, it is plainly impos-
sible to determine.

A curious document has found its way into the English
papers, which purports to he a Protest of the Pope against
certain demands of Bonaparte. It is entirely unaccompa-
nied, however, by any information respecting those de-
mands; which lays some foundation for suspecting its au-
thenticity. A report had, indeed reached us, that the
Holy Father had resigned his authority, both spiritual and
temporal, in favour of Cardinal Frsrtf. But this is not
altogether concordant with the tenor of the Protest, which
indicates not only the retention of the spiritual authorily,
but a strenuous opposition to any infringement of the tem-
poral.
_

A copy of the Treaty which has been concluded be-
tween this country and Sweden, has been laid upon the
table of both 'louses of Parliament. It contains, properly
speaking, hut one deputation, which is, that great Britain
shall pay to Sweden a subsidy of 1,200,000/. by monthly
instalments. This, it is stated, is to enable Sweden to put
her army in motion, and to keep it np. There is a se-
parate article annexed; but this merely expresses the

1,,.

agreement of the two contracting parties to concert further
measures of co-operation in the event of Sweden being
attacked by her enemies.
We have inserted a staterrent of the officers and
troops which, it is said, arc to be employed in the Swedi.ti
expedition. The embarkation of the troops is not set
begun ; but the hustle of preparation is great, and part of
the expedition, it is expected, will soon be ready.

Sir John Stuart, the hero of Ma ida, will sail inunediatelr,
to take the command of all the British troops u► the Medi-
terranean.

Among the Officers to he employed on the Swedish Ex-
pedition, are mentioned the names of Lords Bossy In, Moira,
Ilutchinson, and Paget ; General
:0..0n, Major -General
John Dope, Brigadiers Dyott, Houston, and Dorrien. ,'.;e-
nerals Lord Banbury, Finch, and Thornton, go with the
Guards.

The force on this expedition will exceed that of the Da.
nish, among, which will be the following :

the Life Guards.

We are sorry to hear that the Egyptian opthalmia pre.
pails much at the. Cape of Good Hope. It ;;s brought to
that settlement by the Ist Battalion of General w hitelocke's
re;ziment, who had 300 men down with iL when our accouels
came away ; however, by the excellent regulations of Eri•
gadiel-(;enei•al Lord lila,,ne), and by the police eita !dished
by Lord Caledon, the contagion was kept down in the set-
tlement.
The story of the 1000 boats, which were said to have
proceeded from the ports of llolland with troops on board,
took its rise from the decree lately issued Irv' King Louis,
that no fishing-boat should put to sea without a soldier on
board, to take care that no communication should be car-
ried on with the British cruizers. One of these boats, with
ono soldier on board, was brought into Yarmouth a day or

The private letters received from Holland, emit inuc to
speak of the deplorable situation to which that country has
been reduced by the tyrannous policy of Bonaparte, and of
thr enormous price of every dr'‘criplion ul (*ohm" Pr"'

a hravv sale in the rniglish markets at 90s. per rwt. is now
sold in Holland, and almost every other part of the domi-

It is said to be in the contemplation of Government, with
a view to render the Volunteer Force of the Empire as
efficient as possible, to call out the entire of it in four divi-
sions, during four months of the ensuing summer, each
division of corps to be encamped in their respective coun-
ties for a month. For instance, a fourth part of the Vo-
lunteers of Middlesex to be placed on permanent duty, and
lye encamped during the month of May, another fourth in
time, the third in July, and the remainder in August.—

A vessel arrived at. Dover, on Sunday, from the Conti-
nent, the Master of which reports, that the various crews
of the English smuggling boats, which were iu the neigh-
bourhood of Antwerp, have been sent to that city, in or-

that their boats have been seized, and sent to Middleburg.
