We noticed on Friday, that a considerable firing
had been heard at Dover, from the French coast.
This firing has frequently been repeated at intervals
since, but our Correspondents have not, as yet, been
able to ascertain the cause of it, from the haziness of
the atmosphere.

Saturday the TIGRE, MINUTAVR) TRIUMPH, and
EDGAR ship of the line, with the EARNEST gun-brig,
Nympit, and ACTIVE hired armed cutters, sailed from
the Downs on a eruize off Flushing, in hopes of in-
tercepting the ships which are expected out. there this
Spring belonging to the enemy.

By a vessel arrived at Plymouth, from the Coast
of Spain, we learn, that the PRINCE of PEA,:e is con-
fined in a dungeon, and is not allowed the use of
knife or fork. This vessel left the coast the 18th ult.
at which time all neutrals were ordered to leave the
Spanish ports by the 30th : a similar order to this
was issued about two years since. It is further. statod,
that arrests are occurring daily throughout Spain, at
the instigation of French intrigue.
The galliut "row Elizabeth arrived on Thursday
night at Falmouth, in eight days from Bilboa. By
her we learn that BONAPARTE was still at Bayonne,
where the new King of Spain was expected to meet
him. The Prince of the Peace was still alive ; but it
was believed that his execution was only delayed with
the view of getting possession of his immense treasure.
We are positively assured that orders have been issued
for the French troops to evacuate Spain; and that they
have quitted Bilboa in consequence of these orders.

SWEDES AND RUSSIANS.
Since our last, two Gottenburgh 17 ails, all that
were due, have arrived, by which we have received
Swedish papers to the 3d instant. Dutch papers to

the '2d, Dave also arrived.
The official report of the further operations of the
Swedish arihy in Norway is highly satisfactory :
After a rapid succLlsion of advantages, the Swedes
have penetrated to the Glommen Lake, and General
ARNIFELT/T is ready to attack Christiana, the posses-,

sion of which will open to them an easy communica-
tion with England. The Danes now retain but few
places of strength in Norway—a circumstance which
cannot but add to the discontent of the people of
Denmark, excited by the wanton attack made by their
Sovereign on their unoffending neighbours, the Swedes.,
The KING of DENMARK has 'wither conciliated the
French by his measures of hostility to England, nor
succeeded in rousing his own subjects to sympathise in
his vengeance. It is well known in Denmark that
France would have possessed herself of the Danish
Navy, ;f England had not ; and the people hesitate
not to say that this would not have been the only
li
calamity to which they would have been exposed, had,
so powerful a bait as the Danish fleet brought the
, French to visit them.
In other quarters the Swedes have been less suc-

cessful.
Letters from Carlscrona and Calmar, received at
Gottenburgh on the Ist instant, state, that the French
and Russians, to the number of 1000 men, have in-
vaded the islands of Gothland ; they passed over it
is said, in a line-of-battle ship and seven frigates (sup-
posed to be the Russians from Memel and Liebau).
Four thousand men were landed on the 22d ult. and
6000 on the 21th. Such are the contents of these
letters, but we arc happy to add the news was not
credited at Gottenburgh.—Gothland is a fertile island
in the Baltic, and capable of being made very strong ;
its population is about 25,0(X) people.
By an official report, it appears that the Swedes
have been obliged to retreat before a superior force
in Finland, with the loss of an Adjutant-General,
who was taken prisoner by the enemy. But our Rea-
ders will rejoice to hear that in another action, which
followed in a few days after, the Swedes defeated the
Russians, who retreated in confusion, with a loss of
1 Major, 4 Officers, and 260 prisone'rs, besides those
that were killed. The troops of our ally suffered
comparatively little loss.
The Swedes have acted with uncommons energy,
and hay e shewn a spirit of active patriotism which holds
out a strong ground of hope that with the aids which
they are to receive from this country, they will be able
to defend themselves against the wanton attack that
has been made upon them.
It gives us much pleasure to be able to announce
that a part of the promised aid has already reached
Sweden. On the Ist instant ten sail of transports
from this country, laden with ammunition and other
warlike stores for the use of the Swedish GovernMent,
arrived at Gottenburgh, under convoy of his Ma-
jesty's ship Knz—And part of the Expedition,' as
our Renders will see by accounts that are subjoined,
have now sailed from Yarmouth.
The accounts in the Dutch Papers are void of
interest.
