The VITEII cutter, of 14 guns, Lieut. CIIPENTIR,
which was fent out to, Cadiz with difpatches for Sir
JOHN Outs, but not finding hint there, returned to
Plymouth on Friday lafl, fell in, on the sth, with a
Guernfey privateer, which two days before law a fleet
of men of war, confining of nineteen fall of the line,
in lat. 44. and long. 15. The Captain of the priva-
teer fuppofed thefe chips to be the Britith fleet ; but
there is reafon to think, from their &nation, that
they were the combined fleets of Fravlce and Spain
which lately failed from Cadiz.

So great are the exertions ufed at Portfinouth,
Plymouth, and Chatham dock yards, in fitting out
the numerous line of battle fhips now lying in ordi-
nary at there ports, that in a fhort time we may ex•
pet a formidable addition to our effeEtitttnaral force.
The interests of commerce may, to Own-lighted pa
liticians, feem to fuffer by the rigour of the imprifs
fervice at the prefent moment ; but many arguments
would not be neceffary to prove that it is ultimately
for its real benefit and advantage. What would be-
come of our commerce, ihould the enemy once be
able to contend with this country for the nivereignty
of the Peas ?

On Saturday we announced that the Treaty which
bad been fo long depending with RutGa had been
ratified by the Emperor Ataxasnut. This fad is
generally credited; but there are various reports as
to the contents. The Emperor of Ruffia stipulates
to join this country with a certain number of Ships,
and with all his land Fotccs, againit France-4ut
Tome afTert that this is only conditional—thaitertain
terms of Peace, in which the general interelis of Eu-
rope than be provided for, will first be fubtnitted to
BOiIAPART2 ; and that the commencement of actual
hollilities between RufGa and France, will depend on
his anfwer. The million of M. de Novort mum., to'
the French Govetnment, which we announced on
Thurfday tail, is thought by tome to be connected
with this bufinefs, and he is believed to have carried
with him a plan of Pacification, of fuch a nature as
will not occupy much time in the difcufllon, bat to
which he will demand an immediate acquiefeence or
rejedion. •
One report fays that the fubfidy to RufGa is not

to be paid unlefs Auftria or PrufGa !ball join in
the war againft France. Another Oates that the
Porte will take an aftive part in favour of this coun-
try as far as its pottier and indent circumftances
will permit.
The amount of the fubfidy to puifia, is faid to be
five millions (letting annually. Befides this, there
will probably be a fubfidy paid to Sweden.
It is alfo reported that a large quantity of Dollars
has already been bought up on Government account
for the purpore of making the•necdLrg remittances.
We have Rated filch rumours as are in circulation

refpeeing this importan ttranfaeion, but the real fags
will not be publicly known till ihejreaty itfeW be
laid before Parliament. Politicians, however, will

be at no lofs to perceive from the fubjoined State pa-
. per, that though, from the complicated nature of the
arrangements that have been preparing, there has
neceffarily been much time occupied, th efyftem of fur-
ference and tame fubmillion to the encroachments
made by France on the rightsof Independent Govern-
ments, acquiefced in and fupported by the blind policy
of Pruflia, is now terminated ; and that of whatever
nature the propofitions that are to be fubmitted to
BONAPARTE may be, the craft of 'NEUMANN whore
policy it always has been to procrallinate, will not
now avail him. He mutt give a diree anfwer—he-
fit ation or filence will be held to be a rejeetion on
his part.

SOTS DILMILID !WISE IWIDUN CHARGE D'ATFAIRISI

BORON 1111NRISANS, TOTH! PRUSSIAN CABINRT.

4‘ The underfigned Charge d'Affaires from the
Xing of Sweden, has juf received inftrutlions from
his Court, relative to Baron HARDINIBRO'S note, of
the 24th December, 1804. By the exprefs com-
mand of his Majefty the underfigned, returns the fol-
lowing anfwer. His Excellency the•Minifter of the ca-
binet will be pleated to reeolle& that immediately

nn receipt of the Paid note, the King declared that,
the affair being of a nature of equal concern to Swe-
den and to Ruffia, both clofely united by treaties, by
mutual friendthip, and by the ties of confanguinity,
his %jelly has refGlved to confult with the Empe-
ror of Rullia on the overture made to him, and to
give his answer at the fame time with that which
his Imperial Majelly might think proper to tranfmit
to Bolin. The laft accounts from St. Peterlburgh
have fully juftified the conviaion which the King en-
tertained relative to the fentiments of the Emperor of
14E* on this fubjea ; and as his Imperial Majefly

f..nn after refolved to take force Ileps, the King
wr uld no longer delay an anfwer, fuch as the Km-
, Fetor t,f Ru liia has all() found adapted to the prefent
talc. True to the princikles of that dignity which

ought to ebeiraderixe every Sovereign elan indepen-
dent State, the King cannot perish his general poli-
tical !yam, the fyftens of his alliances, and the en•
gagements which perhaps May fpring from it, ever
to become the objed 9f a difcuffion. His Priffian
Majefty pas himfelf declared, that it is his principle
to regard this indifputable right of every Sovereign:
he cannot therefore but acknowledge it in its applica-
tion. If then be will confider, that no meafure of
the King ever 'furnlibed the ilighteft ground for fur-
pelting its being direded againft the particular in-
tereft of Pruifia, the right of demanding ftwther
explanations on thofe matures (the nature of which
fufficiently indicated their objea), is'confequendy not
afforded. The King cannot as yet perfuade himfelf
that his Pruffian Majefty will perfitt in his intention
to Modify the general polity of Sweden; by the influ-
ence of his fyilem of neutrality, which, influence
would be the more inadmiffible, fince the fetid ryr
tem (on which the King does not permit hirisfelf, io
judge, with refped to the States of his Prnffian Ma-
jay, and the neighbouring States which have for►
orally recognized it) cannot poffibly extend its elicits
fo far as to confine the general difpofitions of a So-
vereign,whglas fach) does not recognife any perfon's
fupremacy, and, as a Member of the Germanic Em-
pire, only that of the Emperor of the Romans. The
King, therefore, has no other explanations to give
than there, that he will invariably prove true to his
principles, the juftice and dignity of which ulna
conliantly be the belt guaranteesof his intentions. His
Majefty readily believes thit the King of Pruffia will
acknowledge the juftice of the preceding remarks;
and that be will not avail himfelf of fonte erroneous
and exaggerated affertions to attempt an unjuft con-
queft. Of this the King muff be doubly convinced,
on confidering that thofe affertions (even by the
avowal of the Cabinet of Berlin Well), are made by
a Government, the holtile fentiments of which, to-
wards his Majefty's perfon, are known to all Europe.
Should it, neverthelefs, be poflible, in (pite of the
King's convidion, in this refped, that an aaual at-
tack be made on Pomerania, his Majefty declares'
that he will not be wanting in allies, who will too
dearly fee the juftice of his caufe not to fupport it.
This declaration, neverthelefs, is not in any knit to
be confidered as a challenge, as it prefuppofes the cafe
Of an attack; and the King would the lefs omit mak-
ing this remark as be would with pleafure fee the in-
tereft of both States united for the general welfare,
and the connexions between himfelf aid his Pruffian
Majefty maintained for ever by reciprocal confidence

waited dpon Mr: Prir, to reprefent to him the dan-
ger which threatened the Well India Colonies, from
the expeditions fent out there by the enemy t and de•
firing to know what reliance they could place in the
