Captain Coggshall, who arrived here
yesterday from Tonningen (Which
place he left the 9th ult.) informs,
that the day before he sailed, it was
reported, and by many believed, that
Russia, Turkey, and Sweden had de.
termined to join England against
France. The British had very large
fleet of ships of war in the Baltic, and
1t was supposed from this circumstance
that the above coalition was probable.
Captain Smith Of the ship Protector,
who left the Baltic on the fst Of June,
informs, that there were, in the two
Belts, 40 British ships Of the line, and
40 frigates and sloops OF war--and,
that, in the course of the last spring,
three conveys from England had gone
up the Baltic, one of which consisted
OF 500 sail, and the other two of about
$50 each, making in the whole the i'm
mense number OF one thousand sail of
merchantmen which had gone up in
less than two months.
Captain S. further informs, that a
war between Russia and France was
expected. He also states, that on the
2sth or 29th of May, the prince oil
hugustenburg, prince royd of Swe-
den, died suddenly. The prevalent o.
Pinion was, that he was poisoned. In
consequence Of which, all commonica-
ton between Sweden aud Denmark
was suspended for two days.
