WEDNICIDAV, MARCH 29, 1809.

This morning a Gottedurgh Mail arrived. If
we may credit the intelligence which it brings, the
Revolution in Sweden has been effifted with very
little disturbance. The Duke ;of .SUDERMANIA
has issued a, long Proclamation, in which he sets
forth the motives which,induced him to depose his
Nephew, and to assume the reins of Goveinment.
`The principal charge against his Swedish Majesty
Is, that he refused to become a party to the Treaty
of Tilsit, even though such a measbre was not ob-
jected to on the part of Great Britain. I

The last accounts from Spain are of such a nature
as to revive the liopes of every friend to that country.
By the letter of. Capt. WKINLEY, in the Gazette
of last night, it appears that Gallicia-is animated by.
the most ardent. spirit,of loyalty, The Seville ea-
, pets to the 4th contain an article, dated Chaves,
Feb. 13, which states,-that ROMANA'S army was•in
high spirits, would soon amount to f 26,000,, and
would immediately, march into, Gallieia. The Pa.
triots in that Province had captured the baggage and
' treasure of General MARCHAUD. The Enemy was
in great want. The armies of- the Duke DINIPAN•
TADO elld Count PALACIOS were advancing Very
fast towards nidrid. General:lll4)mo, it is an:d,

Mont Joy, its chief defence. The French in conse.
quence had retreated from ad the
Eastern Provinces. A sole,no theaksgiving whs
Observed 'on theoceasion by the Spanish armies. We
shall rejoice. to find that these accounts are well
founded, but We confess we fear they are verypuch
exaggerated.
The; letters dated from CeAlz and Seville are
equally gratifying. lt is said thm Jo rra Buox,v-
PAUIt left Madrid on the 22d, and bis worse Was
unknown. The people had previously sbewn a twat
.want of reseed, for ihe ,Usurper,' and zesurned the
national cockade on his departure, regardless-of the
French troops that 'remained. The Central-Junta
hadissued a decree, in consequence of the enormi.
ties predicted by the enemy, of which it gives a sua-
cinet statement, and appealing to all Europe for the
justice of their proceedings, declares, that no guar.
icr shall be
,given to French .troops taken prisoners in
.
any pl,ice where'aels have been-committed contrary
to the: laws of war. The Spanish peasantry.,had ran-
dered the road between Bnrgos and Madrid immi;
newly dangerous to every French Agent, rindhid
even impeded the 'communication between distineV
bodies of the French Artily:

By accounts from ,Lisbott, darted' the it Bth, it sp.
pews that the Portuguese are highly offentled:,at the
clespairing.tmoner in which their power and dis•
posainn towards the Enemy are mentioned in
this coluniy, and the reports of British Officers
in Portugal bear the most favourable testimony
as to the spirit and patriotism of the, people. We
have now about 18,000 troops .in that country,•
who are ordered to advance towards.Ciltavesi where
the enemy had arrived, but not till after they had
met with a strong reiiitance from the Portoguese.

The Gazote of last night contains very ample de-
taiLs of the proceedings of our laud and Sea Forces
eMployed in the attack upon Martinique, • and +Are
trust that many days will not elapse bcfore we
:have the satistadion of announcing-to our Headers
the complete conquest of that valuable Iststid.•
