FOREIGN INT.ELLIGENCE.

BANKS OF THE ELBE, APRIL 20.

The Vienna Court Gazette, once so fertile in Tur-
kish intelligence, is now totally silent on this subject;
the Presburgh Gazette only, because the Hungarians
are a bolder and yet unsubdued nation, has told us in
one of its last numbers, that the Porte will bring into
the field an army of .500,000 men. If it be considered
that Bonaparte has completely succeeded in shackling
in, every country, whether under his direct or indirect
eontroul, the invaluable liberty of the Press ; and when
we further consider that the utmost rigour is exerted
to prevent any communication between England and
the Continent, the general want of information re-
Scdng every thing relative to Spain, Portugal, or
outh America here, may be easily accounted for.
'All along the northern sea coast from Hamburgh
to Holland, large detachments of soldiers and custom-
house officers are stationed, who search every person
passing by in the most rigorous and brutal manner ;
in short, if they see a boat moving on the water, in
the evening, or hear any footsteps on shore, they im-
mediately fire on the object which attracts their atten-
tion, and frequently commit the most atrocious mur-
ders. The French Minister and the military autho-
rities have directed the Senate to order the inhabitants
to have a general illumination on the 26th instant, in
honour of -Napoleon's marriage, which has been com-
plied with, though not from choice but dire necessity.

BAYONNE, APRIL is.

Twelve or 15,000 men, composing the division of
General Seras, have just arrived here. It is said that
the direction of their march is to the Asturias. War-
like ammunition of every kind, and particularly
bombs and balls, are continually passing through
this city.
GENOA, APRIL 4.
A ship which yesterday arrived here from Cyprus,
has brought intelligence that she was detained off
Candia, and learned that Cania, the capital of that
island, had been totally destroyed by an earthquake

VE' ICE, MARCH so.

The arrangements in our city for the construction
of a number of ships of the line and frigates are now
completed, and large quantities of ship-timber have
already arrived here from Dalmatia.

STOCKHOLM, APRIL 11.
Te Diet was going to be closed as next week, but
a conspiracy has been detected, and it is believed that
this 'AI prolong the Diet for some time. A private
I)eputation was sent to the Crown Prince (formerly
Prince of Augustenberg), requesting him to declare
whether he intended to marry, and thereby procure
an heir to Sweden. His answer is said to have been
in the negative. This perplexed a great many of the
ringleaders of the late revolution, whose whole care is
to prevent the son of Gustavus Adolphus ever to come
on the Throne, since their personal security, yea,
even their heads, would probably, in that case, be At
stake. Several, I venture to say the greatest number
of true honest Swedes, still feel for Gustavus's son.
The day before yesterday one of the present King's
confidential friends received an ancnyrn9us letter,
stating, that a revolution was near at hand, that seve-
ral Noblemen and the Russian Ambassador were at
the head of this. A secret inquiry was made by the
Lord Governor of Stockholm ; and, it was ascer-
tained, that the plan was to declare the son of Gusta-
vus, King of Sweden, at the decease of the present
King. Jacob, Count de la Gardie, the third Noble-
man in rank in Sweden, has escaped; and, notwith-,
standing every search has been made, he is not yet
found. -He :s said to be the planner of this revolution.
