PARIS, JULY it.
The brigand Pereno, known by the name of the
Rover of Cavovetto, has at length been made prisoner
at Vinovo, by M. Rigade, Captain of the Gendar-
merie in that department. He had been pursued by
the police upwards of three years, but has hitherto
had the good fortune to escape. He has committed
several murders and robberies, and lately even set fire
to the Mayor's house at Cavovetto, because he under-
stood he was taking measures to apprehend him.

DENMARK.

COPENHAGEN, JULY 4.

From Elsineur intelligence his been received, tin-
der date of the SOth June, that it has been discovered
in that place, that the English Ministers have caused
false Sound passes to be fabricated, by which several
ships have stolen into different ports in the Baltic.

SWEDEN.

STOCKHOLM, JULY 11.

- _
Last Saturday the pleasing tidings arrived that
four merchantmen from Riga, carrying hemp, were
arrived in the mouth of our river (at Sandham). Ac-
cording to the reports of the Captains and some per-
sons on board the ships, the discontent of the Rus-
sians is extremely great. Troops are seat by large
corps down into Poland, and it was gene ally believed
at Riga that the war with France must break out be-
fore the winter. The prices of all kinds of corn are
extremely low at Riga. Such large quantities are
already arrived from the inner provinces, that no
more magazines are to be had, for the- rye especially,
which must continue on the vessels of the Strases.—
These vessels are nothing but large craft, without any
roofs or decks ; the corn on board being covered with
nothing but bass mats. No trade, no circulation of
money, and of course no life in any place. The' ri-
ver of Riga, formerly always crowded with ships,
contained now, after the departure of these four, only
three ships in lading !
It is said, that the Russians have made their retreat
from Wasa, which has been taken possession of by
the Swedes. There is nothing officially published
yet, as all the reports are sent to his Majesty before
any publication thereof is permitted.
His Majesty has declared the Governors of Abo,
M. Von Troil, and of Wasa, M. Wanberg, unworthy
of enjoying his confidence henceforth. It seems that
these Gentlemen had been rather afraid to do any
thing contrary to the desire of the Russians.
At the time when the above mentioned four ships
sailed from Riga, it was said that an Ukase had ar-
rived die rattle morning, ordering a general embargo
on ail ships, both foreign and Russian, and proclaim.
big a complete cessation of trade, and permitting no
isecurity to be taken for the exportation of Russian
produce to a friendly port.
JULY 14.—Letters from Kasko in Finland, of the
7th, Bth, and 10th inst. state, that, encouraged by
the arrival of Lieutenant-General Bergenstrale s
corps at Wasa, the peasantry rose en maw, and seiz-
ed all the Cossacks stationed in that neighbourhood,
and such Swedish citizens as had taken the oath of
allegiance to the Emperor of Russia. They then
proceeded to attack the enemy's posi ions, and seized
all their transports, destroyed the bridges, and erected
fortifications. These circumstances, and the arrival
of the Swedish troops, obliged the Russians to evacu-
ate Wasa, and the whole coast io Christinstad. Tip
Russians in their retreat, did not follow the cost
to
Bjorneborg, but fled into the country, taking their
rOnte to the eastward, which leaves little doubt that
the Fising of the peasantry has extended itself as far
as the district of 4bp. Several coasting yessels load
already for Stockholm, and many more will begin as
fast as'they can get their ships in order, the Russians
hiVini destroyed their masts, sails, rudders, &c.

Cur Readers must have observed, from the com-
plexion of the accounts received by the late Mails,
that there is something like an indication of approach-
ing war between France and some of the Powers with
which she is now at peace. The general impression
on the public mind has been, that the unprincipled
conduct of the French towards Spain has probably
' provoked Russia and Austria to seek a change of
system, with the view of restraining, if possible, the
insatiable and restless ambition of NAPOLEON.
Such has been the general impression, but a letter
from one of the most respectable commercial houses
in Hamburgh, ascribes the prospect of approaching
hostilities'to the wish of the French Emperor. Ac-
cording to this letter, he not only required of the
Court of Vienna, through his Ambassador, Am.
Daxose, that an end should be put to the raising st
new levies and improving its military system, but that
an answer to this requisition should be given within
24 hours, or that his Minister should withdraw—in
other words, that the omission to answer within the
prescribed time, should be considered as a declaration
of war.

The Austrian Council instantly sat upon this de-
mand, but no answer was returned within the pre-
scribed period ; and ANDREOSSI, it is said, in conse-
quence demanded his pass-ports, and quitted Vienna.
Such is the substance of the letter to which we
have alluded.—A few days will probably decide the
truth of this account.

ThNt have been no fresh arrivals from Spain or
Portugal since those we have already announced. It
is the more necessary to mention this circumstance as
our Readers will see by the subjoined letter, thoOt is
possible some unfounded rumours may have niched
town this morning:

" PLYMOUTH, MY 24.

" It is rumoured here that an express has arrived
from Falmouth with an account of farther victories
obtained by the Spanish Patsiots. I think it necessary
to apprise you of this report, that you may not be
im-
posed upon by any such statement. I have made every
enquiry, but cannot find that any express has been re-
' ceived.

<, Some say, that General MURAT has been killed
at Madrid, and JUNOT defeated at Lisbon. The first
is not true, for I have seen a person who saw MURAT
pass through Victoria, in ill health, on his way to
France. In is possible that Juno:a may have been
defeated, but no such accounts have been received."

Some private letters from Alicant state, that the
Proclamation, a copy of which we inserted on Satur,
day, had the most important effect among the inha-
bitants. Indeed it is stated, that three-fourths of the
male population, including priests, lawyers, and me-
chanics, comprehending, in fact, all that were effec-
tive, marched out on the day after this proclamation
was published, and proceeded to Almanza, which is
the grand rendezvous of the levies collecting in
Valencia. _ _

A letter from St. Andero draws a most affecting
picture of the atrocities committed by the French in
that town, before their General had thought proper
to order its evacuation. This letter gives a long detail
of churches plundered, of religious rites insulted, and
I private atrocities, which are calculated to excite both
astonishment and horror.

Private letters were yesterday received from Hol-
land, which state that the French troops have almost
all evacuated that country, and proceeded towards
Spain.

Last Sunday evening their Manirries and the
PRINCESSES 'walked on Windsor Terrace, but soon re-
