POLITIC:4E EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

Government have not yet received an official confirma-
tion of the naval vktory said to have been gained in the
Mediterranean. Very few doubts are, however, entertained
of an engagement having taken place between the Toulon
fleet and that commanded by Lord COLLINGWOOD. Tlni
account continues to circulate throngt: so many channels,
and is repeated by al:nost every traveller coming from the
French and Dutch coasts, that we still hope, that the honour
9f our flag has received this additional lustre. From the
place, where the victory is reported to have been achlevea,
it amounts almost to as impossibility, to receive, in so
snort a time, dispatches from Lord COLLINGWOOD ; and it
must not be forgotten, that the intelligence of the ..-iemor.
able Battle of the Nile, was transmitted by the way of
Germany., long before the official communication was re
c.tivetl. We confidently expect to be able, in our next, to
gratify our Readers, with the confirmation of tidings, which
will furnish a new and splendid proof of our naval superi-
ority. The ocean is our domain; and the ceremony of
throwing the ring, as was usual with the Doge of Venice,
would more properly suite our KING, as sole and undisput-
ed Sovereign of the sea.

The Peace concluded between Sweden and Russia, the
articles of which are inserted in another part of our paper,
affords a deplorable proof of the blind subserviency of the
Cabinet of St. Petersburg, to the hostrie views of 131ON.1•
PARTE against this country. O:ie of the first conditions of
the Treaty is an acquiescence, on the part of Sweden, to
recognise the validity of the maritime regulations, which
the tyrant of the continent labours to introduce. The
shntting of her ports to our shipping is not inssted upon
with that degree of rigour we at first apprehended. An
exception is made in favour of vessels freighted with salt
and colonial produce. This permission is justified upon
the curious plea of established habit. If that pretext.be
valid, a stipulation in favour of English cloth would appear
to us as urgent.; because war clothing, in the bleak
climate of the North, appears as essential as cone and
sugar. Bet such are the effects or blind animosity on one
side, and of reluctance, at the same time, to submit to the
privations which its ,gratification implies. The Court of
Russia flatters at present the passions of BUONAPARTE• ift
order to obtaiu his acqmiest!ence in the projected seisure of
:he Northern Provin&s, and Capital of the Ottoman Em-
pire. But this harmony will be of short duration; and
before the expiration of twelve months, the object of
their mutual rapacity, and of their present union,: will
create between those friends, au inextinguishablejea
an interminable war.
