LONDON,

11101,4 Y, ‘EPTEMBER 25 1804.

ADVICE. have been received this morning from
the ;Mediterranean, of so late a date as the begin.
ning of this month, which state, that a French
Convoy, which had put to sea, and hoped,. by
keeping close in.shore, to get safe to their place
of destination, were attempted to be cut off by
some Cruizers belonging to Lord NELSON'S Fleet ;
but the Convoy immediately ran under one of their
Batteries, and the Troops pouted down to the
Coast, to prevent our landing and.sturming the
Battery. '

Tests morning three Gottedurgh Mails at.
rived. It seems to be the general opinion there
0;4 a War between Sweden and France is un.
avoidable ; for in consequence of the insolent oh.
servations contained in the lifovifeur of the 14. th
u:t. upon the KING of SurauEles Notes delivered
at the Diet of Ratishon, the latter has prohibited all
French Papers from being circulated in Sweden ;
and Letters from Stockholm of the mai inst. state,
that ,a Courier from the King arrived there on
Saturday the Bth inst. when a Council was imme.
'distely summoned, at which it was determined to
prohibit all time French Papers, and to forbid, upon
pain of dismission, all the Civil 'and Military Urn.
cers from holding any communication with the
French Charge d'Affaires; who, in consequence,
left StOckholm on the loth inst.

The recent conduei of the Diet of Ratisbon shews,
in the most lamentable point of view, the miserable
state of timid imbecillity to which the Continental
Powers are reduced by the terrific ascendency of
France. The topics submit ted to the discussion of this
Body, were, the daring Violation of a Neutral Terri.
tory,and the atrocious murder of an illustrious and in.
nocent Prince, . The Emperor of Germany's new
• . .- rt;.. •
j- ea of the this-, it ventures to Corm an opinion ; but
the violation of the rights of an independent Sove.
reign, and the infamous murder of an august Prince,
are topics upon which it dares not pi esume to touch,
and which, therefore, it dismisses with a notice, that
si there is no round, fur deliberation." How
long the Continental Powers remain in this
state of. ignominious submission to the must insu.
lent and most flagitious of mankind ! ! !
We yesterday received New York Papers to the
Toth hf August, anti Pirgillia Pap#n 01 two days
later date. One of them mentions, that the report
of the defeat of the Native Array before Sr, Do.
mingo, by the Ftetich and Spaniards, is unfounded.
The Whites were so strong as to be under no ppre_
henkiou ; they were daily expetting reinforceinetiti
