cOVENHAORN, MARCH 9,-.The Russian 7 Airtv..
entered Finland on the 2gcl February. It has.forced
all the Swedish posts. On the sth of March news
arrived at Stockholm, that the Russians were march-.
ing upon Abo, and that they were only eight days,
march from it. On this intelligenee, the King'of
Sweden solar forgot himself as to cause M. UAL°.
nes, the Russian Minister, to be arrested.,
- The King of Sweden has caused seals to Ira put on
. all the papers of the Russian Legation. Such a vio-
lation of the laws of nations,_ only known among
the most barbarous people, has excited the indig-
nation of the whole world. Of what does the King
of Sweden complain ? That Russia has declared
war against him ? . But it is six months since Russia
notified to him, that_ all tke principles of • the
Neutrality of the North were violated, and
that she could not suffer his alliance with Eng•
land; that the state of War must therefore follow of 'I
course. On the other side, 'a French Army had
entered Zealand,. and all preparations are making
to send away this Ally of England to reign in
rico: The .King of. England, when he meets his
next Parliament, will no doubt rejoice, as lie
lately did, at the new degree of power which he ,
_.procures for his-Allies. Weans assured that England
intends to give the King. of Sweden the Island of
St. Thomas as an indemnity.. Thus the brave
Swedish Nation, after having seen its commerce
destroyed, is torn by an interior war. All that cati,
be said is, that it is a terrible scourge for a nation to
be governed by a King Vitiated by a spirit- of .abstir-
dity and tuadness.—(Moniteur, March 20.)

AUGSBURGH, MARCH 10.-... Letters ,from Trieste
,say., that there was not, at the end of February, any
change in the situation of that City. The'English
.Igeet, which had appeared before the harbour, had
not yet committed any hostilities, except , against
some Merchant-vessels, which they had sunk, Ml6.'
taking the cargoes out.
The Governor of Trieste has taken the most 'CM-,
Pelolls measures for. the defence of the port and the
coast. The cannoniers. are at their posts, and all the •
batteries are in good condition, and well tUrnished,
with ammunition. Large detachments of Infantry
are stationed on the coasts to prevent any landing.
The Officer who commands the Russian Squadron
here has likewise taken proper measures to give a'
good reception to the En&ish should they make Mil
attack. •. .100

TRIESTE, Manna 3.—Since the changes which
lava .oken place in the relations of our 'Court with'
England, and those.which circumstances have occa-
sioned in the Adriatic, .another rise has taken place '
in out prinCiple articles, particularly in cotton, al-
mond‘raisins, and ail. It is believed that the Eng-
lish Squadron which crnizes before our harbour will
votsleng remain there, but after procuring informFt-
tion• of what is passing in the Ports of the Adriatic'
they witl return to the Commander of the Briti-41
Forces off Corfu, to communicate to him what they,
-have learned.— (Illoniteto , March 21.)

By the Dublin. Mail we are, hiCormed of
rival at that flirt of the Ship Betsy and Polly, from
Cadiz, out of which harbour she was, towed on the
27th of Marsh, in consequence of information hay-
-14 been received there that an Enthargo was imme-
diately to be laid on all Vessels in the Ports of Spain.

thart)etween 40 and iso,occr French troops had ar-
rived at Madrid, but that none had reachba Cadiz at
his departure from thence: The Prince of Peace mad
disappeared, and no one knew whither he had taken

Capt. Goona Le bad a remarkably quick passage
bottle from St. Domingo he was only 26 days on
his voyage. The cargolof the Hopewell belongs en-
tirely to 'he proprietors Of the Ship.
it is reported that Government have received some
idiites from America, of a description very unfit-
'vourable to the hopes lately entertained, 'of being
able to come to at amicable arrangement of all dif-
ferences with that country. The IfaxecutiVe of the
United States, it is said, insist upon an acknowledg-
ment of the principle of a perfeElly free neutral coin-
Incrce. We have Uot been able to ascertain.through
what ebsuanel this intelligence was received.
