ANHOLT MAIL

An Anholt Mail arrived this morning, lout it con'
veyt no intelligence from the North of a striking na
tore: Another Decree bas been published by the
CROWN PRINCE of Sweden for augmenting his army,
but still no declaration is made as to the object in
view. We are now heartily tired of the shuffling and
temporizing policy of BzawAnorrz, and care not how
soon he is visited with aU the calamities of a French
yoke, which he has certainly taken no steps to avoid.
The following are a few extracts from the journals
furnished by the above Mail :

"OOTTENBURG, MA' It.

" The Vigo, Admiral Morris, with a strong squa-
dron sailed yesterday for the Baltic, and immediately
afterwards the Orion and some smaller ships of war
proceeded with the convoy from England.. The
Briseis sailed a few days since, and the Zeal6us and
Rose this morning fcr the Sound.
" It is expected that English cruisers will soon have
the liberty of entering the Swedish ports, and that
orders will be given to render them whatever assis-
tance they may require.
" 711 he Russians are said to have given as their ul-
timatum, that they will not enter into any negocia-
tion with the French, till the latter have completely
efacuated Russia.

" When the news of the fall of Badajclz reached
Orebro, the Crown. Prince immediately dispatched a
special messenger to l'etersbtr,7,ll with the itirelligence.
" MAY 16.—An embargo has been laid at Liebau
on all vessels, by order of the French, even on those
which had cleared out."

. • " RATISBONNE, APRIL. o.
Count Gottorp yesterday" passed through this
.city on his way to Vienna."
EXTACT OF A I.r.TrErt FitOM VIENNA, DATED APRIL 29.
" The head .quarters of our army in Galicia will
'be at Manislaivow. It is reported that theArchdOke
Charles will command this army."

We were yesterday favoured with the following
satisfactory communication relative to the reported
earthquake at Caraccas :

" Don LUIS LOPEZ MENDEZ hastens to inform the Editor •f
the STAR, that the account is false which states* on the authority
of a letter from Martinique, the destruction of the buildings and
inliabitints of the City of Caraccas add the Port of Laguyra,br
a terrible earthquake. The said Editor is also empowered to con-
tradict the assertion, that the Congress of Venezuela was assem-
bled in Valencia, a place distant nearly 140 miles from the city
of Caraccas. The narrative alluded to is evidently a fabrication,
prepared in Martinique or else from the worst motives and for
the worst purposes. The calamity is represented to have taken
place on the 26th of March. Don Luis has received intelligence
from his Government of Ihe 28th March, which informs him of
the prosperous state of that capital (Caraccas), and that the whole
territory of the Confederation of Venezuela was in the same
happy situation, and in the enjoyment of perfect tranquillity and
harmony."

WINDSOR, MAY 20.—The l)uchess of YORK ar-
rived yesterday at four o'clock, .to dine with the
QUEEN and the rest of the Royal Family, and re-
mained here all night. The Dukes. of YORK, CLA
RENCE, KENT, and St:ssim., left last night. Tne Duke
of CAdmurior set off this morning. Thii morning,:
Princesses AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and CHARLOTTE or
WALES, took an airing on horseback to Cranborn.—
The QUEEN and Princess Euzaairrif took an airing
to the Cottage' at Old Windsor.
It-gives us great pleasure to state that a rumour)
circulated last week of the Duke of DrioNsmaa's
Munson: at Chatsworth having been burnt by some
Derbyshire rioters, is altogetherunfounded. indeed
there are no people to whom the epithet Derbyshire
rioters can be applied with any kind of propriety, for
in that county the demeanour of the populacebAS been
highly' exemplary.

Office for Taxes, April 31, 1312.
The Freneh Officers, prisontrs, now on their parole
at Cheltenham, are about to be removed to Aber-
gavenny.
(Sunday se'nnight, a number of persons assembled
at Carrig Bridge,WexfOrd, to witness a boxing match,
but the combatAtits had scarcely set to, when one of
them fell through a hole in the bridge, and was
drowned.

It is a singular fact, that after the body of Bat- 1
LINOHAM was opened, it was noticed that his heart
continued to perform its functions, or in other words,
to be alive for tour hours after he was laid open. The
expanding and contracting powers continued percept'
tiote till one o'clock in the day—a proof of the steady, •
undismayed character, rhich he preserved to the last
grasp. It is said of some men, that the heart dies
within them, but here the. taergicti remained when
Ida was eating.
