SWEDEN.

We are sorry to state that Government yesterday
received dispatches from Admiral /CHAVES com-
manding in the Baltic, - which bring intelligence of a
very serious insurrection having broken out in Swe-
den, which threatens to have the most serious con-
sequences not only upon the internal tranquillity
of the kingdom, but upon the stability of the Go.
vernment. 'We understand that several thousand
peasants have risen in the province of Weirrniland,
and were proceeding from Carlstadt to the capi-
tal. We have also heard that a General Officer has
put himself at the head of a body of the military,
And taken possession of Stockholm, from whence the
King has retired under the protecticn of about 3000
' troops, who have remained faithful to his person. A
declaration has been published by the insurgents cnn.
taining a statement et their grievances, arraign n;;
war as tl e cause of them, and insisting upon the r.
blishment of peace, as the only means by which the•-
can obtain either alleviation or redress. Some perr rs
imagine that this insurrection originates in the
of the enemy, but we rather conceive it to b.: the
effect of the misery to which the country is all ea,:y
reduced, and the calamities with which it is still frt.
ther menaced by perseverance in so unequal and ruin-
ous a conflict.

report was in general circulation ycs'e ti,at
the King of SWEDEN, opf..essed by dittcuities,
serpent on the long ddratiQn of the disastrous
by which his treasury
,had been exhausted, and hi.,
I.rest provinces dismembered, had at last consentesi
to pacific arrangements with the Emperor ALEXANDER.
It was admitted that large sacrifices were to be made
to the Court of retersburgh ; but that on account of
murmurs at borne and disappointments abroad, impe-
rious 'necessity demanded such concessions fez the
repose of the kingdom.

A report is circulated of the loss of his Majesty's fri-
gate the LIVELY, Capt. Micitnawv, off the Burlings,
with the distressing circumstance that every
perished. Captain MackiNLEv was an e) plaicliced
seaman, and no man was better acquainted with tht.
Portuguese coast, he having been all the winter cruiL.
ing on that station.—Our port letters being silent re.
specting this affecting rumour, we hope it will prove
w have originated in some mistake.

The trial of Mary Bateman, the sorceress, fcr the
wilful.-Murder of Rebecca Perigo, wife of William
Periga, of Bramley, near Leeds, commenced on Fri-
day morning, aid continued until near gine o'clock
at night. The Jury, without retiring, found the pri-
soner guilty.
The public curiosity, which has been so strongly
excited respecting Mrs. CLARKE and her connection
with a Royal Personage, will, in a few days,
be amply gratified by the publication of two volumes
on the subject, from the pen of that celebrated Lady
herself. The Anecdotes, Royal Love Letters, &c.
contained in the work, will furnish a fund of enter-
tainment, and throw much_ light on some hitherto
unexplained parts of a recent investigation.
