cnuntry. We shell not be` surprised to find them
now iminunting that.thi% fabricattd statement %vas
Sent from this,Country to be itherted in the Prague
Gazette!

We stated yesteiday that accounts bad been re-

cl:ived of a successful attack having been made on
the g3d Oh, by the Austrians on the French Tile de
Pont, on the left Bank of Danube ; some of Our
contemporaries have expressed doubts respe6ling the

truth of this intelligence, and their doubts are found-
&d
upon the circumstance of the 12th French Bul-
letin, which is dated the Vitt), not taking any no-
't ce of an action on the tad. We ga'e the account
J 3 it reached us yesterday, without stating that it
was athcial, or pledging ourselves for its authenti-
city, but we by no means think that the silence of
the Frerich Bulletin is a decisive proof that there was
120 BetiOrl on the fi3d. BFONAFARTE might pot
have thought it expedient to communicate to the
people of -Frace and of Germany that he had sus-
tained a second defeat.•

It waa yesterday reported, on the authority of a
letter from Portsmouth, that Lord CoLLlNowoon
bad. capture,l live Sail of the Line of the Toulon
Fleet, and fifteen Transports. We should be happy
to confirm this account, but we fear that it is with:
our foundation.

The conduct of the Swedish Diet, in excluding
the issue of the late King of Swtriatt from the
Throne, as well as the unfortunate Monarch him-
self, is strange and mysterious. It seems to imply a
Co33oothille!,s of power that induces them to despise
the opinions of the people of Sweden, and must
traite condemnation as well as surprise in every
Other nation. It , has been privately intimated in-
Sweden, that thudeposed Monarch was illegitimate,
and that this cuu4d be proved by the testimony of a
Swedish bishop, who was to be brought forward to
justify the aCt of displacing the KING and
bid race ; but no allusion to this story ap-
pears in the conclusion of the Diet, by which the
unfortunate Monarch has been deprived of his crown,
so that the exclusion of his children, whatever mo-
tives of policy might be conceived to justify the re-
aloval of the Is-jug hurt elf, must be considered as a
most Uppre'SSiVt: act, kit:nce, it Sweden were at
present able to patch up a Peace with ituSsia, the
foundation is laid for future Civil kVars; for the.
Sweues are a loyal people, anda strong party may be
expetted to support thence of GUSTAVUS, though
they.are not now able to maintain the interests of
their unhappy Monarch, and perhaps may think that
his. spirit is too adventurous and fornantic for tho
Preseent condition of the country. it is:certain that
in assigning no reason for the exclusion of the issue
,of the lath Monarch, the Diet has shewn a disregard
of . the sentiments, of mankind, whiCh hardly any'
Government, however tyrannical, has displayed in
a formal promulgation of its decrees.
