A Letter from London, received at Glas-
Cow on Thursday, says, 't We lose no time
in furnishing the information, that the Por-
tuguese Ambassador has at length relaxed in
his prohibition of cotton piece goods to the
BrazilS."
NETWORK, JuneS.
BY the arrival of the Liverpool packetyes-
serday. we learn that Mr.. Eourse has arr
we'd IN England.-ltis very pfobaoIe that DIS
patches have been transmitted by him to the
executive. Fefsort Also says, that Mr. Arm
strong had left Paris. When Mr.. Rose re-
sided in Washington, .he also fetf that city,
but twas for the purpose of visiting Alexan-
dria and, perhaps, Mr. Armstrong may
khave letI Paris to visit Versailles. In the
fpresent political era, we are left to conjec-
Enre upon every subject. .Unti. the blow is
kstruck, nothing official published, bywhioh
an ink'ibg may be formed Of the intentions
OF the diplomatic rulcrs. Empires are es-'
tablished and governments overturned be-
fore wchave an opportunity of even forming
opinions on the subject. Such proceedings
may be proper, NAV be absolutely necessary,
but still excite dissatisfaction. The account
of Mr.. Armstrong having left Paris is, how
ever, not improbable as from late acco1ets,
he has not been treated with the respect due
to the representative of an independent ma
ton. The feelings of a republican must, IL
such case, be severely tried and from the
known tenor OF Mr.. Armstrong; mind. it is
not to be supposed, that he would brock any
indignity offered either to himself or his
country. On MIR. Nourse's mission rreat
deal depends.-The unfavorable issue of Mr..
Roses embassy to this country may have ex-
cited some exacerbation in England both in
the minds ofthe ministry and the people
With anxiety we therefore, look forward to
the issue of the negotiation. Be it well, or
be it ill, )" we hope that there is fortitude &
energy among the citizens of the United
States to encounter every difficulty. When
opposition is made az Passamaquoddy, and
an almost all the seaports of the Union to the
measures of government, we need not be sur
prised to find that foreign nations will adopt
the same means and endeavor to profit by
our dissentions, and appreciate our dissen-
tiers. On national energy, every thing now
depends, and we hope that that energy viii
never be relaxed by the machiEatons of
ambitious individuals, or the intrigues offo-
reign agents....L' Oracle
INTERCEPTED Di$hatches.-The dispatches
found upon the Russian Courier, who was
arrested ON the 7th March, Oh the Swedish
territories, as he was Coming from St Pc,
fersburg, and which were intended for M.
Aiopeus, the Russian minister at Stockholm, !
are or very interesting nature. The King
Of Sweden has submitted them to his people
IN the fc-!:. cf G pamphlet, published at
Stockholm, ard notes and comments expla-
natory of each dispatch have been annexed
The following IS a preface to this cuEi-
Gus work -
i. &C The irruption Of the Russinntroops in
to Finland, and the incendiary proctamati-
Ons circulated in the province, were area-
dy known to the King, whist the minister
OF Russia M. Alopeus) had not vet made "a J
ny communication that could pave the way
for such intelligence, and conriers nor
dispatches from the Swedish ambassador at
Petersburgh, had arrived since those events
Considering, therefore, that that minister
has been deprived of his public quality, /!
by the insidious aggression of his Court, as
dangerous enemy, by the revolutionary
principles with which that aggression was |
accompanied, and as hostage for the am: !
bassador, whose liberty had in all probabi!- '
ity been violated, his Majesty ordered, on
the I'd of March, that military guard should
be stationed with NJ. Alopeus.
This measure, which in every other cir !
eumstance would have been extremely repug- |
Dant tohe King, has been fully justified by the !
event. A courier from Petersburg arrived at
Scylendskar, on the 22d, and set out on the |
2Sth February, by 1'ornea, for Stockholm, |
having been arrested Gil the 7th March,
nnie from Haruosand, with the following
dispatches - - 60.
20. i, Is IL letter from Count komanzoT
30 M. Alopeus, dated the 18th February, in-
closin. the Swedish ambassadors note to the
Russian Government, and the answ er of the
latter. which NJ. Alopeus is ordered to COM
JHunicate to the Swedish ministry Upoa
the expression in Count RomanzofT's note,
that it still depended upon the king to pre-
serve harmony between the two states the
Swedish government observes, in a note
q The Russian army was to enter Finland
before the Russian declaration could be de
hvered, and otcourse, therefore before any
answer could be received. Yet they have
the impucence to speak Of harmony-anl
they praise so much the Prince ROYAL. OF
Denmark, for having refused to treat with
England after hostilites--and yet they pro-
pose it to the king of Sweden. Contradict
0ns, bad reasoning, and faiSehood, are the
usual concomitants Of injustice.
No. 2, is a note from Baron Stediuck, to
Count RomansoA, in which Russia is remind
ed that she who was the principal support
OF the Convention of armed neutrality, in |
1880, was the first to abolish it in 1901
