• By the Treaty between France and Sweden, Po-
merania is said to have been-restored to the latter
Power. The permission to import colonial produce
was indispensable to. the Swedes, with Whom sugar
is as .universal and essential,an article of culipary use
as salt. It was necessary, moreover, that Russia
and Prussia should be. supplied with:that and other,
articles of colonial produce, which they can receive
only'through theyaaliuru of Sweden:. ,

Of BUONAp.ARTE'S intention of declaring iiintself
EMPERoR
,of the WEST, a public aviowar was .made .
in a Paper printed at Vienna, while that city Was in
the occupation of .the French.. The' revival of
CHARLEMAGNE'S Empire is openly announced, and
" the expeCtations of the age can only be fulfilled
by the appearance of NAPOLEON as Vranco-Roinan.
Emperor and Lord of the West.%-And this, -with
the atrocious impiety that forms a prominent feature
'of, his charaaer, he desires the world to hail as a
. blessed Epiphany for Europe! !—The following- is
the article to which we, allude :
" When CHARLEM-AGNE. transferred. the Roman.
Imperial dignity to the Franks,'. he thereby founded
a new Empire of the West, which, after. centuries of
oblivion, we see flourish again, like another Rome,
in renovated vigour.
' To fulfil the expeaations-of the, age, it was
necessary that the great NAPOLEON should make his
appearance as the fohnder of a second Western
Empire=NAroLßON, .as Fratico-Rotnan Emperor
,and Lord of the West, is a. blessed-manifestation for,
civilized Europe.- The Franks' Germans, and .110-
mans, so, long ago,- united inn. like condition, will
henceforth enjoy all the benefits of, their ancient
confederacy, without again experiqncing.any of its
disadvantages." . • •'
TiteaTaE.—There has very seldom, we
may venture to. say, been a more splendid and ap-
propriate representation till's') that.which marked toe.
revival of, the Tragedy •of. Lear last night at '
Coveut-Garden Theatre. The house was. crowded,
in all•parts, and the, audience appeared to.be highly
gratified with the manner in which the, drama is
brought forward, in point of, scenery; &c. as. well as
with the general merit. 'of the
,performance:—
,K.eseßLE was a very ,able and a verrimpressive,
,re-
prdsentative of the: atfectionate. but choleric 61(17
Monarch, it was.evident that he, had weighed every
word belonging to,the part, with a view to the gene-
ral etrea of .each .seiitnuent. It was also-evident
throughout • that lee. was .rather •.anxious to impress.
upon his auditors the energy(of -thee character;_ and
all its intellectual- workings, -than to infifafe the
imbecility. of age, which,,filterall; is but 'the me-
chanical part. of acting,
,and Which is within. the
reach of ordinary powers. Ht did not, however, lose
sight of the supposed age of the character, but proper:
.ly conceived that it was of more importance to shell,"
- his temper, and convey his,meaning; than to exhibit
,a shaking baud and a tottering frame.
,Kzsffmrs's
performance altogether wt.,„„ a masterly exeMpitfica-
tion of the text.. C. KEMELE ,was very succssful
in the personation of. Edgar. ;The transitions from
real feeling to affected insanity were faithfully ma-
naged, and his general support of, the eharacter was
just and chgnified. ,Miss BRISTOW was an interest-
; ing representative of Cordelia. Regan and
Goneril found good supporters in Mis. ST. LE-
GER and Mrs. liontPriftres, and CREsWOLL never
appeared to so much advantage as in Kent, which
be gave with charaaeristic bluntness, withobt
afteaing a saucy rudeness." EVen the " roti
Thunder" came in for its share of applause, and in-
deed the storm, in all its; varieties, was admirably

. . _
managed. The excellent manner in which this fine
Tragedy is revived, and the high merit of the
performers, will, prOhably, ronder it attrac-
tive through, the season ; attd the Proprietors
deserve no slight chtrimeowtttion for the magnificent
style in which they have thus revived one of .th'e very
best acil.we4lcttt4 of OraMatic, geni%
