LONDON,

SATURDAY, ;JANUARY 4, 1806,

, L'Efftrepronante. Cutter has arrivedat Plymotfth
:with Dispatches from Lord .71.,0,L1,1N0w00D, whom
she left Oh-the gth ult. crui-zing off Carthageha,

The Walsinaham Packet, with a Mail from Lis-
bon,
is arrived at Falmouth : she sailed on the 21st
ult. The Letters will be deli% ered on ,Monday.
The Lord Hotart and Prince, of Wales Packets,
with Mails from Falmouth, arrived at Lisbon on
the 19th ult.

IN' a subsequentColunan will be found the Decla-
ration' issued by the Kitco of SWEDEN, OD joining
the Coalition against France. It is highly honour-
Ode to that Monarch, 'who took the field with the,
most disinterested views, for The' purpose of ocon-'
tributinsr,
.by his exertions, to rescue the Continent
from the domination of France. The 'Declaration is
equally tqmperate and 4ignifie4.,. .

WE have been accused by one of our Cotempa,'
raries of endeavouring to deceiVe the Publie by' -ex-
,
citing hopes of the renewal of' Hostilities on ..The
Continent. In answer to this charge we beg leave
to state, that if our object was to mislead the
we nave purned the most extraordinary cc rse, for
we have ptiblishcd, without alteration or OiDiBSioll,
the whole of the intelligence brought by the last
'Hamburgh:Mails, for tha purpose of enabling our.
Readers to-form their "o judgment upon
,it. \Ve
did, it is true,, exercise.our nndoubted right,of offer,
in cur opinion Upon that confused, imperfeiSi, and
in many instances, contradiaorymass of-intelligence.
We did state, and we again repeat, that'. it doeS
not. appear, in any of the accounts which haVe
reached us, that the EMPEROR ofausslA was .a party
in the Convention entered: into between: the Elk!-
,
PEROR of GERMANY and BONAPARTE, Or that his
Troops haat began their retreat
_in the manner
or by the route prescribed by BONApAIITE. We
added, that no positive information had been receiv--
ed of the ultimate -determination of the KING of
PRUSSIA, but that,the PrUssian Armies had.coutinued
to:march after the Armistice was known to the.
Cabinet of Berlin. This is the substance of what:
we stated, ;This is, the only deeeption of. which We
llive been guilty.

We have drawn what we considered gs fair in-
ferences from the articles of intelligence which we
laid before our Readers, who were thercfene. equally
capable of forming a judg-ment respe&ing them. If
subsequent intelligence should unfortunately con-
firm the' French statements, it will by no means
vTove that the inferences-Wkw• drew were deceptive,

We do not envy those who eagerly gave
credit to the sate rents in the French Papers •
any satisfaction they may feel at finding those
accounts confirmed, if it should unfortunately so
turn out. W have reasoned upon the- accounts
brought by the Hamburgh Mail, in that manner
which we thought they
.would fairly bear, and form-
ing our judgment 'upon the intelligence thus re-
ceived, we are still of opinion that it does not
warrant that feeling of despondency, respeCting
the affairs of the 'Continent, which has
,been' at-
tempted to be excited. If subseque,nt accounts
should unhappily place •it :beyond the -pogsibility
of doubt that all is ligt on "the' Continent, it
may give- satisfaAion :to those Who kloonzi-
ly predided it ; to us it will be the subject t of'
deep lamentation. _lt, will not, . however, we are
convinced; excite any despondency here :
.on the
contrary, the energies of Britons Nvill be roused to a
pitch before unexampled', and the insulting Eflew
meet with that chastisement Which the Continent
has failed to inflict.

Meeting took place, near .Nottinghaiii, between En-
sign BUTLER, of the 36th Reginient, and Ensign

sign BUTLER has disappeared. - They, both belonged
formerly to the same Regiment, bat from a serious
disagreement which took place between them, the
Commander in Chief ordered-them-to be-placed in
