" Reichenbaek. (in Silthis) ♦ugust IL

After remaining at Stockholm some time, vie
left Sweden about the beginning of July, and crossed
the Baltic to Stralsund. The Swedish army was
then under the Crown Prince, amounting to 30,000
.men, One hears but little of military Swedes since
the days of Charles XII. but I assure you that they
are some of the finest troops on the Continent. The
artillery is beautiful, and perhaps equal to any in
Europe. .In Sweden, and throughout the army, the
name of the Crown Prince is idolized. No enthupiastic
admiration of a Sovereign could. be carried higher,
than that expressed for his Royal Highness. His
look is keen and. piercing, and his air extremely sol-
dierlike. I saw him several times at the Opera at
Berlin, surrounded by the Prussian Princes, and re!
ceiving from every part of the House the loudest and
repeated tributes of applause. You have heard, per.
liapsonuch of the spirit of the Continent, but I as-
sure you no idea can be formed in England of the
enthusiasm that animates every individual in Prussia
against Frenchmen, French-principles; and manners.'
The levy en mouse has been completely organized, and
every one is a soldier in reality. The women of all
ranks have given up to Government great part 'of
their watches, jewels, and ornaments, and for a month
the .public sale of them has been going on. The
higher orders are universally employed in furnishing,
clothing, linen, 3cc. for the army.
;46 In repairing the fortifications at Spandau, mate'
hundreds of women are at work, who take it by tans
to give their labour voluntary and without pay, to
the King. I went to see in what state the siege had
lift the place. All that was the beatitiful part of the
town is in ashes. There is not a house besides, that
has not marks of shells and balls innumerable ; but
the celebrated fortress, which covers a great extent
of ground, is in the interior one scene of devastation.
One part of it, where the powder magazine blew up,
is completely destroyed, bastion and all. The suburbs,
consisting of 4.50 country houses, were completely
destroyed before the siege by the French, and the
trees in the vicinity were cut down, that they ;night
not intercept the view.
During our stay, the Crown Prince arrived to !
take the command of the Allied Army in that place.
He was received with the greatest demonstrati .ns of
joy, and appeared to the people in the character of I
their guardian angel. He has under him 110,0(X) I
men.—The Russian army is the finest sight imagin-
able ; tl e tioops incomparably well disciplined and
accoutred. The Austrians, with 100,u(X) men,
undoubtedly join us—they are now at Prague, and
detachments from hence have already marched to
join them. Bennigsen, with 100,000 new levies, is
corning through Warsaw. We have lived `mengst
Russians of the first order, and received uncommon
civilities among them. Messrs. D. Kinnaird, per-
ceval, and Hobhouse, had just left it eichenb4ch ae

44 According to accounts brought by persons who
have fled froth Naples to avoid the conscription, the
greatest discontent prevailed there among all ranks of
people, on account of the oppressions of the French
rlovernment. Tke general poverty is extreme.—
About the beginning of lAst May, 500 individuals
were arrested for a conspiracy which had been discoco-
iered, the object of which was to effect a revolution.
41 Orders have been published for a new conscrip.
tion, which is carried into effect with the greatest
rigour. The conscripts include those from twenty.
one to twenty-tot* years of age. It is calculated that
these will aniount to t*elve thousand for the King-
dom of Naples. This extraordinary and unexpected
conscription has still more increased the general dis?'
content and enmity to the French."
