TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 1806.

TIIE liaMbUrgh Mai/ due on Sunday 'arrived
this morning, but it cOntains no intelllg,ence respe&-
ing the intentions 'of the Cabinet of Berlin, or the
operations of the Prussian Armies, that is of a
later date than that which we have already re-
ceived. 'There seems, hou'rever, no reason to
doubt that the Prussian Army under General KAI:-
ICREUTEI has advanced into Swedish Pomerania.—
,
It 'has b-2en reported, that a strong `Russian
Porce had been ordered to march to the sup-
'Port of the KING of SWEDEN 5 but it is alinost
imnossible that any intelligence can have reached
thi&Country with respeet to the- determination of
the EMPEROR of Russia ; but after what we 'hate
seen of the conduct of that Sovereign,' there is
no reason to I suppose that he will _ hesitate a
moment to giVe every assistance in his power to his'
'Ally, who has been 'attacked in so unjust and un,
provoked a trimmer. The occupation of the Bocca
di Cattaro by the Russians has, as we expeeled,
been made the subje6t of a remonstrance by the
French- Ambassador at Vienna, and the latter Court
has in consequence applied to the Cabinet of St. Pe-
tersburgh, to cause that Port to be ,evacuated by
the Russian Troops, an application which we trust
will. not be attended vtith success. It is stated that
the Russians have landed more 'Troops in Dalmatia,
and that they have taken possession of Castel Nuovo.

Switzerland,- it is generally believed, will soon
lose the nominal independence she at present enjoys,
and. will be placed under the dominion of one of Bo-
NAPA_RTE's family, in compliance, with the general
wish of the People Of that. Country.

LAST night *e received Dutch Papers to the loth
t., but they Contain no intelligence of importance.

'lt was not to be supposed that the military system
brought- forward
.by Mr. Wiximurd would have ex-
cited the-Unanimous approbation of the People, nor
could. such a result have indeed been expeaed if
-it had beeu the most p.,:sifea system ever devised -by
human wisdom. Ent if the Plan is altogether.mark-
.
ed by, sound policy,' good sense, and a due regard to
the permanent security of, the State, none but little
-minds will cavil against it.. As' the measure too is-
' still in embrio, whatever, substantial objeaions might.
be urged against it are likely to be wholly obviated
by the ddliberate wisdom of Parliament. If there-
fore people F..ifoulc-1 not be too hasty in forming de-
cisive opinions respeaing Mr. WINDHANI'S System,;
and in advancing objections, they.ought to.bestill
cautious in acting, upon any notions which it'
may have.excited in its present state.—We therefore
heard with surprise as w6ll-'as with regret, that-a„
Committee was held on Priday last of the St. Sa-;'.
viour's Corps of Volunteer Infantry, upon a summons,
from Major POTTS, in order to 'deliberate upon the
propriety of disbanding themselves 'in consequence-
of ,a part of- Mr. WINDHAM'S. Plan of Defence
which related to the Volunteer S.ervice.• We could ,
indeed hardly have given credit to the report' that •
such a, .Committee had taken place, as we naturally
Concluded :that ;men who had sph-it enough to-en:.
rol themselves voluntarily for the defence of their'.
Conntory, would have had good sense, enough to as
in such a manner as to render their services effeta.
We are sorry, however, to find that .in thinstancei;
onr'patriotic scepticism is without foundation,. as the
