ci2l distress; many warehouses and shops
are entirely shut up; and general outcry
prevails against the. war He further states
that TIE report cfour intending to rake Spa.
nish America Independent, had c2used the
greatest apprehension in the French govern
rent; that its tars for the success of such
measure, though ssudiously concealed. were
yet obvious !; and thai Bonaparte was deter
mined to use every effort for hurrying North
America into .sljwar with Eisland, that he
may be able to enbody the numerous French
now in the Uni,Gl States, into an army for in
vatiing Mexico, III conjunction with the A

Just as tl,e last Courier came away from

set ont, communication was received by
the telegraph across the Gulph, that the
fortress CT Sve;borg had been attacked by
the Russ aus. byt that they were driven back
with great Slaughter. This was known at
,sotteEbnrg at he sailing cf the last packet.
Il private ietie' mentions the fact, though
not more circurlstantially.
As long as tbs fortress remains in the
hands OF the Sweles, Finland is not lost. 1t
IS mere the King means to land his army as
soon es the ice;s gone. The garrison of
Sveabors consist Of 1000 men, under the
command or the Did and experienced gene

Tor toar months. owing to the foresight Of
aaron Stedingh, lie Swedish Ambassador

danger. 1 his brave general has assured the

20 shcw the zeal of the Swedes in tie
honorable conflict i'll which they are enga-

sailors having been ordered to attend at the

a'e registered, the wish OF the King was
communicated to item by old naval officers,

DC, they volunteered a.! 70 q man. The na-
w was thus completed in fortnight.
The ley OF all young men from IS to Is
years. constituted no less thSn 10000 men,
Sincc many who were above 2J rnder-rated
their age, and others insisted on their right

iAV more than is wanted, or the country could

publish proclamation, stating how many,
END no more, each district shall furnish !;

The account of the hostile feelings of the
Americans, experienced by Admiral Duck
Worth's squadron, during its stay in the Ches-
apeake, as stated in the GLOBE, yesterday,
made serious impression in the city, and
me funds fell per cent. The attack of
the Leopard upon the Chesapeake frigate
was the cause OF the Presidents Proclama-

ships OF war into the waters Of the United

Teceiredby cur squadron, il appears, that the
respiration offered by cur government has
not been received, and that the hostile pro-
clamation continues il force. Ii does not
fellow however, that the apology was refused
on the ground OF insliifcieucy. 1t most pro-
badly has arisen from the determination Of
the American government to abide by the
demand which they nave made, Of bringing
the whole of their complaints forward toge-
tier, and not to make the affair of the Chess
