From this Speech it may be inferred, that Sweden will
take part against France. Some, however, suppose, that
she will remain neutral—a supposition which is not very
reconcileable with the fact of the indiscriminate capture
of all French privateers by, the Swedish cruisers ; six of
the former having been sent into Cailsham lately, one car-
rying 18, and the others 14 guns.

A secret correspondence has been discovered to be going on be-
tween some of our Ministers and the French Ambassador, awl through
him, with the French Govemment. It was the Emperor Alexander
himself who detected it; and immediately on the Conspiiators finding
themselves defeated, by some of their letters being intercipteci, they
hid a diabolical plot to murder their MaSter, which fortunately was dis-
covered before the time appointe4 for its execution. Spiransky and
Magnetzky have been arrested; and sent off to Siberia. More arrests
are every moment expected to take place, for it is inn.9;ined that other
versons of the first note aro implicated in the diabolical 'design." .

" A treasonable correspondence has been detected, and one of the
