Since our last. Information OF later date
has been received from Sweden. Ourhrave
ally is proceeding in the invasion ct Nor
way, not without meeting resistance, but
with prospect of ultimate success. For
tie details, we refer to our foreign intelli-
gence. We Cannot witt! truth attach great
Importance to the conquest of Norway as a
military operation, though we are aware of
the resources it would furnish us with a
supply oftimber, &c. II is only in one res
:.ect that it is of moment. The ACQUISITION
or that country cannot fail to have the moss
beneficial effect upon the public mind in
sweden. he Swedss are people sensible
OF national honor; they are the invetcrate
foes OF Denmark and the exercise of domi-
mon over ore Of the provinces OF their ad-
versary viii certainly counterfeit the impress
sion arising from tile probable conquest oe
Finland. The date of cur last intelligence
from the Grand Dutchy of the 9TH of April.
There is no further account of the asserted
retreat of the Russians. 1t is probable thew
NAV be Content 60 retain a military POSITION
within the frontier of the province Master
ly and admirable has been the retreat of
general kiingspor, it is not to be expected
that he can with all his collected forces act
on the offensive.
Dispatches were received OF Saturday
morning at the Admiralty from Sir Samuel
Hood, dated from the Baltic, the 25th of
April, but they bring no news Of i.npor-
lance. 1t was not tc be expected that any en-
terprize would be formed by the forerun-
ners of oar expedition. When orr whole
force shall have arrived we may look for
ward to some decisive operations which NAV
relieve US from all apprehensions, and the
necessity Of providing against the possibili-
ty of an attack from the North.

Yesterday we received foreign papers to
the 4th inst. The information they bring
us such, as in the course of events was to be-
expected. The most important articles re-
spect Spain. On the 1Ith ult the new K;ne:
OF Spain set out from Madrid to meet Be-
naparte who was 10 pass through that king
dom The King issued Two maQdstes or de-
crees previous to his departure, The pe-
rusal of them has served to impress UPON
our minds this fact; that The ne " sovereign
| is by no means securely fixed in his throne. e.
ven in his own estimation and the anxious
| repetition OF his assurances, that Bonaparte
Icomes as mis- friend, strongly coroborates
this opinion. 1t is, besides remarkable thar
the French papers still continue to can the
king by his former title of Prince of the
AusturIas. We observed long since, and
we must repeat the remark now, that We
deem the recognition Of TIE new king by Boz
naparte, or the re-estab,ishment OF the old
monarch, equally uncertain. By withhold
| ing his determination for the present Bona
| partc will be able to secure his own terms
with either; and as the friends and counsel
| iors Of the French and Son meet his wishes
and demands most readily, we shall her
him either announce the deposition of the
! late king as an act of national Justice or the
enemy of his people and the ally Of England.
or proclaim the usurpation of tile Prince as

Grafton of mankind.
| 1t is curious 20 remark in what vague and
| mysterious terms the proclamation speaks of
the reasons of Bonaparte's visit a great
object is spoken Of but is not further explain
ed, which will be equally beneficial to both
nations. 1t is further worthy Of notice that
| the provinces Of Spain have sent deputies to
Bonaparte at Bayonne This is an Indecent
| act, if Ferdinand the S;eventh be indeed their
! sovereign. What if bonaparte recognise
them as the representatives Of Spain, and
proclaim that the late king has abdicated his
| throne, and that it is necessary h. should
settle the constitution of the country,
| Besides the information derived through

satisfactory.
1t was said by some that the late King and
Queen of Spain had been ordered to Bor-
deaux. This is so far probable. that it will
certainly suit the purposes OF Bonaparte to
be in possession Of ali the Royal Family.
