THE KING.

The following is a copy of the Bulletin issued at
St. James's on Sunday last :

" 'Windsor CAlttle, May 5,1811.
6' His MAJErry continues to gu on well"

We are happy to lay before our Readers tlfc
fol-
lowing letters, announcing the arrival of our fleet in
the Baltic ; an event that will, we bel.eve, be fol-
lowed by very importmut occurrences. Denmark
and Sweden must shrink into themselves at the view
of our naval force ; and we find that the very no-
tice of its approach. was sufficient to alarm the in.
habitants of both countries. They immediately
thought we had a great military force on board.
They pouted troops down to the coast, and the ac-
counts from Stockholm talk of its being BERN A.
norm's intention to take the command of the
troops in person.—The opening of the Russian
ports to our commerce will, according to some
letters, be the immediate consequence of our ap-
pearance in the. Baltic.

46 Coth.nburgh, May 1, 18! I.
gg A convoy of 3S sail arrived at Kjeuso. Several ships cif the
line, it is said 11, and amonz them the Victory, are in Flemish
roads, with some fri&atei. The convoy fur the Baltic, it is
Said, will sail the first fair wind. Most of the vessels of the
convoy are in quarantine at Kjeuau, and will retnain for eight
days."
Extract of another Letter, dated
46 GetteT.iburgh, May 3, 1811.

" The fleet is arrived in this baihJur under the command of
Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ, and the natives arc not a little alarmed
fur the safety of this place, and their ships of %vat- at Carlscrona.
Troops :.ve marching from all quarters to the sea coast.
" The Government has ordered the .cargoes of the vessels
detained at Carlserona in the fall of la't year, to be landed and
carried to a place of safety in the interit'r.
" BERNADOTTE intends leaving Stockholm for Carlscronsts
and will visit this place before he returns."

"G Itenburgh, MAY 3.

We this moment received inf.irmation from Stockholm, that
the famous General Baron ARM a rL r has been arrested at Fins-
pang, a country seat belonging to Baron licurcit. There were
found amongst his papers several letters from,the Russian
ntstry, as well as a written oath of allul.;ia•:ce to the Es,' PERM
ALEXANDER, signed by ARMELI'. BERNADOTTE left him
the choice either to take his trial as a traitor, or else be ent out
of the country. He preferred the latter, and accordingly was
sent under a guard to Finland.—The Swedish Government has
issued orders to the Lords Governors of the Provinces, to cause
all the Prussian vessels to be unloaded, and the cargoes con-
veyed into the interior; a commencement is already made at
Carlshamn, and with such 1 romptitude of execution, that even
the military have been ordered to assist in the unloading.
There are many opinions on this subject. Some say, and pro-
bably with truth, that it is in order to prevent the cargoes falling

The former reports of tau, apyroaching war., be-,.
twcen this country, ar..d. Ante,iica. have lately been
revived, chiefly. in consequence of the intelligence
received by the Lady Arabella packet from . Ja-
maica, purporting that the AmeriCan*Government
had, encouraged the building of-French privateers to
a great extent in their docks, for the purpose of
cruising 4 against the. British shipping in the West
Indies. Similar information reached this country .
some time ago directly from America, but was then
little credited : the account, however, is now ren-
dered more deserving of attention, by the report of
- the Mariner, of Liverpool, which arrived at Ja-
tnaica on the 3d of March. On her passage, ten
leagues to the eastward of Deseada, she was board-
, ed by the Charybdis -brig of war, and was informed
that five heavy privateers, manned with Frenchmen,
and most of them carrying 20 guns, equipped in
' American ports, were cruising in that latitude, and
that several vessels of war were on the look-out for
them.
The following article, extracted from the latest
American Papers, tends• to corroborate the ru-
moured hostile disposition of the two countries :
" Baltimore, March 23.
44 rinpOrtant.—From a scurce the most respectable, we are
Informed that Mr. MORIER. British Charge des Affaires, has
mad- known to our Government, that the official information
(made public) from Mr. Russ,•ll, that the French Deems arc
not revoked, will be fully credited by the British Gown:merit ;
and that they will be compelled to consider a continuance of
Non-Inte7course against them exclusively, as a measure of
11ustility, demanding inune diaw,steps to meet it."—Ealtimorc
It:d. Gazette..

A letter limn Augsburg speaks of great war-
like preparations on the part of 'the Russians.—
Some rumours are afloat however, of a different na-
ture, but we arc still in expectation of shortly hearing
of something important in the north.
The following communication from Constanti-

nople, will be read with some interest.
Constantinople, March 12.

On the Bth instant, a dispute arose among the Janissaries
concerning some women, which gave rise to some bloody pro- '
reedings, in which several persons lost their lives. The GRAND
fsEIGNIOK yesterday caused fifty of the ringleaders to be arrested„
and strangled on the spot. Their bodies were iliro %Am into the
sea. The Commandant of Lowatz, HAsNADA le BEY, whci
was summoned by the Russians to surrender the fortress,
caused his la3t remaining horse to be brought out, and killed in
the presence of the Russian Messenger, with this expression
Thou seest that I am myself lame, but I will rather perish
than fly, or give up the place which is entrusted to my care."
And this valuable 'man:actually lost his life in an attack made
by storm upon the place.

The fabricated account which appeared in the
"early Oft of The Wtelsc,- of a conflict haying taken
place, between the Prussian &Allison of Colberg and
a French corps, ordered to pass through, or take
' possession of - that town, is now cornpletly ex-
ploded. Several Mails from Anholt have since
been received, which neither contain any statement
of such a fact, nor the most distant allusion to it.
An article in the Lisbon Gazette, received on
Monday, estimates the loss of the French, during,
their retreat from Santarem, at 12,000 men, ex-
clusive of the action in which Major-General En-
sxlNE, routed the 9th corps. When MASSENA last
reviewed his army, it did not amount to more than
44,000 men, and these have since been reduced by
distress, disease, and sickness.
A mail from Cadiz arrived on Tuesday, with
Papers to the 22d, and 'letters to. the 25th ult. In
the beginning of April, So uLT was actively employ-
ed in throwing up batteries in the environs of Se-
ville. SEBASTIANI'S force had marched towards
Jaen, to watch the motions of the army of Murcia.
From the pieparations going on at Teruel, the
enemy were supposed to be meditating another in.
cursion into Valencia from Arragon. Entrench-
ments continued to be forme,d at Lerida, where it
is probable a corps would be posted to act on the
defensive against the Catalonians, during the ope-
rations in Valencia ; but this plan will, no doubt,
have been disconcerted by the reverses in Portugal.
The letters from Cadiz state, that the expedition
under BLAKE consisted of 12,000 infantry and 600
cavalry ; but that several of the vessels had been
obliged to return, in consequence of being dismast-
ed in a storm, which came on immediately after they
sailed. They had relanded Gen. LADRI.ZABEL and
1300 troops. A body of 30'.30 French had marched
from Xeres for Seville ; and it was supposed that
VICTOR would shortly follow, with the whole.of the
blockading force.
Accounts from Paris state, that the retreat of
MASSENA is at length made known ; but no disclo-
sure is given for the motives of his retirin.g. It is
said that 13UONAPAItTE is 011 the point of setting out
to the North of Germany, and that BERTIIIER, who
is the Commander in Chief of the French armies in
F,pain, is to set out to the -Pyninsula to supersede
MAssENA. •. The latter circumstance, however, is
considered as very improbable.
It is. reported that some disturbances in Madrid
have compelled JOSEPH and most of his Court to
leave it ; and this -account is confirmed from Gib-
raltar, from., whence, under date of the 19th ult.
letters state, that SEBAStIANI, who was extremely
ill from asthma, died in.the beginning of April, at
Lerida. The French army consequently is under
the orders •of MACDONALD, but it is greatly weak-
ened and disheartened.- The general opinion in the
east tirS•PAIW, ''particirta-rly in Valencia and Catalo-
nia; it;. that the French are withdrawing from the
Peninsula. Tarragona remains unmolested, and
• rib troopshave appeared near it ever since the 20th
of January: - • •
• - The enemy have four ,;ail of the line nearly ready
for seii.at- lkOrient. They are the Marengo, Vete-
,liii';'Eglau, aI,W-Guilem tr. They had been man-
neb,in various ways, particularly from, the seamen
landed at Morlaix from the Mauritius: •Drast is
suppoied to be titbit 'destination. .
