We understand that the PRINCE REGENT has determined
to dispose of the Tellership of the Exchequer, vacant by
the death of the Marquis of BUCKINGHAM, in a manner
mo=t honourable to his Royal Highness's feelings, and most
creditable to his Government. He has betowed it upon
the eldest son of his ever to be lamented Minister, Mr.'PEtt-
CEVAI., upon the understanding that he relinquishes the
pension of 10001. a year granted him by Parliament in the
last Sesion, and the- ;eversion of another toool. a-year which
settlA u von him at the death of hi, mother.—Courier.

A very interesting Report hes lately been published in
Sweden, dated Stockholm, January 7, 1213, and addressed
to the King of SWEDEN, by M. D'ENGE'T Reim, his Minister
for Foreign Aflans, on the political relations between Swe-
den and France, during the last two years. It appears froni
this document, that the demands made by BuoN A PARTE on
Sweden, about the close of 181 i, and posterior to the occu-
pation of Pomerania by the French troops, were—" That t
yew declaration of *vat should he made against England; that
al communication en!) English cruisers should he severely
put hibited ; that the shores of tlic Sound should be provided
with ham...lies, the English vessels fired upon with cannon,
and the fleet equipped. That, besides an army of from 30
to .10,000 men should be raised for the purpose of attacking.
Russia, at the moment when hostilities should commence
between that power and the French hipline. That to to-
&inlay Sweden, Finland should be restored. I3uON A-
P RI L also would engage to purchase colonial produce, to
the amount of twenty millions of francs, provided the pay-
ment should only be effected when the goods are landed at
Darozic or Lubeck : Finally, he would permit Sweden to
participate in all the rights and advantages enjoyed by tho
States in the Confederation of the Rhine."—lt is well known
these otkrs were rejected. The Report concludes with the
tbllowing intimation :—" Should your Majesty, for the pre-
sent safety and future sec' rity of Sweden, he compelled to
put your armies in motion, it will not lie with a view to con-
quer provinces, useless to the prosperity of the Scandina‘ian
Peninsula. Pioud of their rights, united to their Sovereign,
the Swedes will march to meet their enemies. The recollec-
tion of their illustrious ancestors, and the justice of their
cause, will ensure their success."
General CAST AN()S, Wll3 has had several conferences with
the Marquis W EL t.ts c t r t‘:, has arrived at Seville, to prepare
the Spanish army for active operations.—The Tribunal of
the Inquisition has been declared inconsistent with the Con.
stitution, In the turte, by a majority of 90 to 60.
A letter from Cadiz, dated the 28th ult. states, that the
Army of Andalusia, f 4,000 strong, had marched to join the
Marquis of W r.I. L INGTom, in consequence of orders to that
etkct having been issued by his Lordship as Commander-
, in-Chief of the Spanish forces.--Five hundred carriages and
aOOO Spaniards, chiefly tv;ents and partizans of JOSEPH,
are stated to have arrived at Saragossa. A large convoy left
I the ::arse place for France on the rila ultimo, and JosEPH,
it is raid, was to set out frem Mad, id on the 23d. Whether
these movements are connected with general plan of retreat,
it is not possible at present to deferral% ; but in a very short
time the S stem on %,hich enemy means to act in the
ensuing campaign well become apparent.
The report of the Poictiers haling taken an American
frigate is mentioned in the Lisbon papers; but nothing is
known at the Admiralty of any such Ovent.
