.We have received a Muniteur of the et d ult. but
it is nearly barren of Intelligence: It. mentsflns,
. .
however, the entrance of thertussians
and the arrest of the Russian Minister, M. ALOPEW,
at Stockholm; Which it denominates a gross and
Unexampled 'vielation of tbe Laws 'Of 'civilized na-,
tions,,and declaims upon this topic with so much ve
llppence, that` one wouldalmost suppose the writer.
befd forgotten the innumerable violations of the
rights of. Ambassadors which have been committed
by.all.the:Revolutionary Governments France,
and more especially' by the present Usurper.
rThe•' Illonikui attributes the arrest of M.
At.ornus It; the invasicy.l of Finland by the Rus-
sians, but it preserves a cautious siloncc with re..
spe6l.lo the real cause of that measure. Not one
word is said about the attempts made by M. ALQ-
patisio corrupt Baron AnNirELDT and to excite the
people of Sweden to betray .their Sovereign.
The British kuadron, it is said, still continued'
to litoehade::).7rie4e 5 but it has hitherto not
any attempt upon the Russian Squadron in that

Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Plan for augmenting the
Defensive Force of the Country seems to have given
great offence to the Opposition Writers, and their
anger, is the greater, because they batmoidisover any
platisible ground for attacking his Idatdship's
They are therefore reduced `to the necessity of're-
toning' to precliaion, and we are told that this Kin--
.ciple of Con's. criptiun will be extended and made
part of our Military System.- It is wonderful
what. an aversion these Gentlemen always mani-
fest to any augmentation' Gf our Military Force,
whether Itegulars, Militia, or Volunteers, They
eagerly- seize every opportunity of commenting up-
on the immense" numbers and discipline of the
French armies, ;and dwell with apparent delight
upon their vialorie..; and conquests; Lout. resist, with
the most• pertinacious zeal, every attempt to increase
'our Defensive Force, While at the same tune' they
are perpetually clamouring about the dangers of the
'Ctiontry, We have wailed impatiently for some
