Two Gottenburgh mails have arriv-
ed since our last. 1t is evident that the
Emperor Of Russia is taking measures
to sever from us our only remaining
Continental Ally. The King of Swe-
den has no force in his dominions to
withstand that of Russia, and must in
course yield to necessity.
A messesger arrived from Sweden
last night which, no doubt, brought the
Intelligence to ministers of the march
OF the Russian troops towards Swedish
Finland; and probably announced the
reluctant resolution of the Swedish Mo-
march to yield to circumstances. Co
verned by Junto more formidable in
attacking friends than enemies, Britain
has no longer the power to succour the
distressed; their hands are now stretch
ed towards her in vain, and one by one,
they become the sacrifice of their at
tachment to us.
Hamburger papers state, that all the
troops that constituted the grand army
upon the banks of the Neimen, a great
part of which have not vet reached the
Rhine, are to be divided into two ar
mics, one of which is forming at Bou-
logne. We may, therefore, soon ex-
pect to see the hills of Boulogne once
more covered with camps, and hear the
cry of invasion from the French shore.
Among the troops destined for Bou-
logne, is the corps of Marshal Soult.
All the other troops on their march
from Germany, or already arrived in
France, are proceeding to Bayonne,
where second army of reserve is now
collecting under Gen. Dupont. This
army, when complete, will march into
Spain, and third army of reserve will
be assembled upon the same ground, no
| doubt for the same destination.
