BARLIN, Mar 7.—The King of Sweden has order-
ed all the bridges upon his frontiers to be dettroyed,
and. neglstts nth ng that may compel Praia to
carry on the war againft him. His c:rndufi may be
compared with that of the Q.2een of Naisles, in the
year 7, when that kingdom Legan the war alone ;
but, though the knew that Naples would be expnied to
the moft imminent danger, the fill hoped, by that
means, to render the flame of war nniverfal, and,
of ctsurfe, to be of effential fervice to England.—

Torts, Aram 20.—The St. Antonio, a Neapoli
tan veifel, Antonio Jaconn mailer, was taken by tome
Tunitian corfairs. The French Conful demanded
tb4 rail, the kingdom of Naples being under the
fpecial protection of France. This gave,rife to tome
dircuffion. The Bey, however, underftood too well
the nature of tteaties to fetid the application of the
French Confugl ; he fufpcnded the f.le attic prize
The Emperor will my:a allow, that a nation, which
i, part of the Federative Syftem, and over which one
of his brothers reigns, fhould continuc expored to the
robberies and exadit.ns of pirates.
There are 6000 Neapolitan and Sicilian pi ironer'
at Tunis.
Nat es, MAY I.—The news from Calabtia be-
comes more fatistatory every day. The pretence of
the King diffsifer joy and fatisfaOion through every
part rat this great province. His Majefty has met
with the mat *droning reception at every phee. The
Clergy, the Magistrates, and the greaten land holders
in the kingdom, bead the Deputations that are fent
by the towns and villages in every quarter. Within
three miles of Reggio, his Majelty was met by a nu•
memos. cavalcade. The molt dillingnilhed of (Le
inhabitants of this place have acted as Chamberlains
to his Majefly, and twelve young men, of the fir( fa
milies itiCalabria, have offered their fervices as pages.
An aged man threw himfelf at his feet, before a large
concourfc of people, laying, Sire ! may Hsaysa
I (bower down its bleffings upon you; Alt us and we
will aCGtt you. If you want foldiers, we are readTto
follow you into Sicily." The King Teemed to be
tenably affeled, and laid ~e thould remember' this
reception as long as he lived. The city of Reggio
was illuminated in the evening ; and while fire works
were difplayed, the military mufic was heal 4, and
continued all night upon the few' [hare, and before the
palace r:ccupied by his Majetly. There brilliant tef
tituonies were heard upon the oppolite coati, and
there is no doubt that the Sicilians anfwered them in
their fecret wifhes. An Englilh veffel was in fight
all the time, and almoit within cannon that, while Isis
Majefly was on Isis way from Baguaree to Reprio.—
His Majelty reviewed the troops under General Reg-
j vier, and ening the hofpital, he recognized a French
Sub Lieutenant, who, upon dilfei ent rccalions, had
received thirteen sreuind—`. Winch is the warft of
your wounds ?" laid his MAjtlly. Sire (replied the
young officer) it is that which prevents me from fol-
lowing your Majeff y over the water," painting to
Sicily. The King immediately promoted him to the
rank of Lieutenant.

In the andienie given to the Clergy, the Bifhop of
Op;sidn nb!erved, that the churches in Calabria had
neither been rebuilt nor repaired fince the late earth-
quakes in 1783 and 1788, and Rood much in need of
the royal munificence : he Wel that a great number
of ecclefiattics were reduced to the neceflity a(king
alms. The King an(wered, s' I have already made
this painful and humiliating °Wet vation. I will caufe
all the funds afirgned for the reparation of churches
to be applied to this pines °Nat —chafe funds which
i have hitherto been unjuilly mifapplied. As to the
IClcs gy, the naifery in which they are involved appears
to me to be the confetinence of the suave facility
with which holy orders have been conferred. On this
account one fhould lather abide by the fpirit than the
letter of the Council of Trent. in fecuring to thnfe
perfons wh., enter into the Church, the means of a
decent provifion ; and this in propottinn to the in-
create of price in all the to:cella' lea of life fince the
epoch of this Council."
The Arehbilhop and the Bifhop coofeffed, that a
law diflated by fuch a fpirit as this, would be both
wiful and honourable to religion, and requefted that
his Majefly would folicit the fame from his Niitiilier
of I'ob is Worfhip.
A report is circulated here, that the King Ferdi
nand has lOW Sicily to the fnglilh. It is long (ince
he has delivered this ifland into their hands ;—it is
now their loulits:1"s to Lep it. But we would advife
King Ferdinand to obtain payment bet re band. •
