.The: cessions which Sweden made to .Russia,
though higlq disadvantageous, were not disgraceful
to Sweden, .because there was such an ithmense .dis-
_proportion het wen her, strength.and thdit of her
opponent. But if the-private letters lately received
from Sweden, with regard to the ternis-of the treaty
between France and Sweden, be cOrre6l, then is
Sweden disgraced indeed, for she has-consented to

place her late unfortunate Sovereign in the power of
his omit inveterate enemy, BUONAPARTE. His life
perhaps may be spared, but there can be no doubt
that he will be exposed to every species of indignity
and insult that the most rancorous malignity can
suggest. The following one of the letters to
which we allude

The Capital of. Prussia isrepresented to be now
in a-very. melancholy state, a gloomy skiertt.:e per-
vading the whole of it, and carriages are very rarely
seen rolling through ,its streets. The soldiers' it. is
said, are quartered on the houses -of -the citizens, be-
cadse the Government is unable.. to- refurnish the
garrisons with the accommodations -removed or-de-
stroyed by the French. The private virtues of the
Monatch, and:the general .Siin &
plici(y ot his charac-
ter, secury him the esteem an:ri respe of his-people,
and at a happier -period, when the pow-er, ,of France
is diminished, it is probable that a resolute struggle
may be made to restore the dignity of the country,
but no such event can be ex'peded till -Europe and
the woad shall _be. delivered from its greatest
scourge.

The Princessa;
,of 74 guns, was taken from the
'Spaniards, by Lord'Roth ey, in the' memorable en-
gaaement- otl Cape' St: Vincent, with:Don •Langard,
in Jan. 1780, when five ships or.tli line were taken,
one driven' on shoi-e, another blown up. She
was fitted for Admiral Drake's 'flag -ship during the
remainder of the Wur in theliVest Indies, and in 1784,
was 'paid offal Plymouth, and fitted for a ,beer hhlk,
anti red ained as such till the 27th of November last,
. when she u as b-roughtinto dock to be taken to pieces.
On looking at her- bottom, 'which was not .coppered,
an amazing quantity , Of oystets were. 'found, -the
largest ever, seen. in. this .eonntry... • She was built in
1757, chiefly of cedar and mahogany, most of which,
Considering- her age, is in high 'preservation.
A very extraordinary attempt was: made a few'
days ago to Carry -oil a.youug NObleman, who has
found it convenient for thelrresent to take up his re-
sidence in the Isle It Man. - The --plan. was at ranged,
,Wirb great skill; and a vessel was prepared to'bring
• off the prisoner. The-Tpersons employed On this
service, however, .made an egregious blunder, and
instead of seizing the young ZlN'iobienaan, they took a
Gentleman who bore , strong resemblances; to him
in. face and ' stature. The mi-stake -was discovered
• before the Gentlenian .was carried of the Island,
and of -course ,he 'was liberated. This. attempt
has created great- c4),sternation in the Island,. and
particbiarly arncing a. number of- persons who prefer
-t residence there 'to one within the .more circum-
scribed limits o( a prison:

It appears by an article in the German Papers, that
a difference has arisen between Austria and Russia,
respeaing the cession of a part of Austrian Gallicia,.,
containing a population of 400,000 souls, in virtue
of the late Treaty. The Rnssian interpretation does
not include women ; but requires them to pass as an
appendage to a population 6t 400,000 males. What
a savage 'country must that be in. which the fair
sex is not allowed to possess any soul. The dispute
will probably 'occasion . a reference to Buonaparte,-
it is to be hoped have gallantry enough to
decide in favour of the ladies, and of Austria.
A very melancholy accident-happened On Thurs-
day nightoshout five o'clock, in Gites's-street;Litlr,
The neighbours observing a more than usual light to
come from a Mrs. Ferguson's house, they burst open,
the door, when they found a woman lying on the
f10,,r, her clothes nearly all off, and her face and up-
per part of her body dreadfully scoarched.- Medical
assistance was imtnedic.ately procured ; but little hOpe
is entertained of her recovery. ' -
