The advices from the North of Europe by the
Anholt Mails of yesterday were to the 22cl ultimo. In
addition to the particulars that we communicated yes-
terday, we learn that in Russia the prepatutionN of the
defence against Itinch invasion have been continued,
but at St. Peter burgh a war is not expected. A Mini-
ster from Stockholm was on his way to that Court in
the chanctcr of a negotiator, and it was presumed,
that should hostilities take place, Russia and Sweden
would be in alliance.
Letters both from Stockholm and Gottenburg men-
tion, that a large body of French troops had violated
the Prussian boundary, and taken possession of a con-
siderable portion of that kingdom. It is also added,
that Fanocluck; WILLI/of, who was at Berlin, had
with great difficulty effected his escape toward the
Russian frontiers. These accounts were received .at
Gottenburg by the way of Carlshams, and are given,
not in confident terms, but as reports requiring
confirmation.

The particulars from Sweden, as far as they are
connected with the relations between her and Great
Britain, are extremely favourable; and it is announced
in the Public Offices of this Government, that the dis-
patches obtained from thence by the packets now
arrived, are of the same character. We are also told
in a letter from a most respectable quarter, that the
Chevalier BRICIIMANN, who was before in London in
'the situation of-Minister from the Court of Stockholm,
is now on his road to resume in this city the like official
duties. One communication from Sweden observes,
that all restrictions proiisionally imposed at the in-
stance of the French Government, will be immediat4
withdrawn ; and another positively states, that they
are no longer in existence.

The Exchange at Petersburgh had fallen about 7;
per cent. in a week. The commercial distresses in
Sweden were great, and two of the most eminent mer-
cantile houses at Stockholm had failed.

Dr. GoOLD is arrived from France, and has brought

Sr. DAyts's Day.—The annual procession of the
Charity Children took place yesterday, and, as usual,
presented an interesting spectacle. After hearing
divine service at St. George's Cht:rch, they proceeded
to Free►nason's Tavern, by the circuitous route of
St. James's-square and Pall-mall, in order to pay
their respects to Sir W. W. WYNNE in the former,

- MELANCITOLY CATASTROPIit....--When the Bath
Coach, which left town on Tuesday night, arrived at
Chippenham on the succeeding morning, the people!
10 the inn were su,prised at seeing three outside pas-
angers lying in a state of. apparent insensibility, bin
their surprize was-converted into horror, when they
perceived, on a nearer approach, that vitality had
/been actually extinct in two of them for some time,
.the bodits being perfectly cold. The third, a soldier,.
had mane faint signs of animation left, and the perse-
iverig and active humanity rf the spectators, aidid
by medical skill, for a time flattered their anxious:
wishqs with a prospect of permanent success—as the
;latent spark of life was so far rekindled that he took
'some refreshment and was put to bed ; but Nature
was too far exhausted to render these hopes of .any
-king duration, and he.expired the following morn-
Ang. From some papers found in the pockets of one
of them, ba proved to be a journeyman pewterer,i
fr,an London; who being afflicted with a •contrac-
tion in his wrists had obtained an order for admission
into the Bath Hospital, for the benefit of the waters,
'and was going down for that pur?ose. Our readers
'will recollect that on that fatal night it rained both
• violently and incessantly, and to the cold added to
the drenched state of their garments, the fatal catas.i
trophe was daubtless cuing. We must add, to the
credit of the pl.tce. that the bodies were deiently
in-
terred, attended 4,0 the grave by nearly the whole of
the itlabitaras.; and that to the widow of the pew-
tercr, the only one whose relativetvare known, they
behaved with the kindest attention, and administer-
ed every consolation her unfortunate situation would
admit.
