FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, JANUARY ti.
The Russian fleet is fitting at Cronstadt with great
activity ; 806.r0w-gallies are to tollow it when it sails
for Copenhagen ; there are numerous corps of troops
to be embarked for that place.
Strong batteries are erecting in the front of the
harbours of Revel and Cronstadt.
The country of Hanover has been plunged into
mourning, by the recent loss of a British ship, with
nearly a thousand soldiers of the Hanoverian Legion
on board. That vessel was to have gone from Yar-
mouth to Portsmouth.--. The officers, seeing the dan-
ger of the navigation, requested of the Ministers to
suffer them to march by land ; but the English Go-
vernment, who treat men like vile merchandize, in
order to save a few guineas, insisted on the execution
of its first orders. The unfortunate Hanoverians,
who had a presentiment of their fate, were, a few
minutes after the arrival of that barbarous order,
swallowed up by the ocean.—Menitevr, Jan. 17.
Bills of Exchange, to the amount of three millions
of Franks, have been lately drawn by the Govern-
ment of tbs Isle of France on the Imperial Treasury
at Paris. .
The Emperor is making arrangements for improve-
ment of his dock-yards ' • there are to be 18 companies
of about 277 men each, and to be divided in sub-di-
visions of 18.
It is in contemplation, in France, to plant and cul-
tivate the cotton-tree in the Southern provinces of that
country.
The Prince Royal of Denmark has given three
thousand, and the Princess his wife, has given two
thousand rix dollars, in aid of the persons whose
houses were burned by the attack on Copenhagen.
Armand Victor Le Chevalier, formerly a Chief of
the Chouans, and pardoned, was tried by a Court
Martial at Paris, on the 9th instant, and sentenced
to suffer death, for having assembled an. armed force
last June, of which he constituted himself the Chief.
The Swedish Diet is convoked, and the greatest
discontent reigns in that kingdom. The is Poli.
tics are loudly abused. The public opinion in Sweat"
is strongly pronounced in favour of the ancient con-
nections with France ; they remember that in all
times, but particularly in the reign of Gustavus
Adolphus, it procured a great extension of territory,
and great influence amongst foreign Courts. There
is an appearance of a war between that cotottry and
Russia, the issue of which is not to be doubted. The
Russian corps assembled on the 'frontiers of Swedish
Finland continue to receive reinforcements.
In Swabia, 69,828 permu have been vaccinated
with the happiest effect.
