STOCKHOLM, June S


Major Forseies arrived here on the LIST
of June, with the unpleasant tidiDys of the
death of the Crown Prince. A report was
immediately spread that his Royal Highness
had been poisoned: however, it was soon
proved by an affidavit made by Lieut. Col.
Count de Spare, that his K val Highness
died of an apoplectic fl. Count de Spare
attic ded his Royal Highness. and states that
his Royal II ghness having been some DAYS
at Ramlosa watering place in perfect health,
he left that place early on the morning of the
28th May. and arrived at Helsingsbure.
where he breakfasted, and from thence pro
ceeded TO QuindInge. At half past one o.
clock in the afternoon he arrived there. and
Immediately ordered his horse to be ready.
He then mounted the horse and rode to he
camp. in order to review the hussars His
Royal Highness rode as fast as the horse
could go towards the left wing of the troops
during which time he lost his hat, and aD-
peared to totter on the horse the Count
seeing this, and thinking that the horse was
FESTIVE, rode up as fast as he could, but the
Prince had hardly advanced sixty yards be.
fore he fell off the horse to the right side :;
he was then conveyed TO the parsonage house
at QuindiDge, where he expired. This event
has caused a good deal of sorrow TO some.
and Joy to others (; sorrow to those, who af-
ter having dethroned their lawful X ng, tho't

still preserve the heart of a Swede, aud wish
to see Gustavus's son on the Throne. The

Letters from Lord Wellington's camp at
Celerico. dated the Esd ult state that the
French officer bearing the cross of the Legi.
on ct Honor, arrived at the British camp on
the 2lst, having deserted, in consequence,
rs he said, of having been provoked to cut
down his superior officer while on duty
This cheer stated THAT Massena had join
ed the French army with reinforcements
which made the entire number under his
command along the frontier amount to 80 900,
or from tuat to- 81 600 men and had his
head quarters AT Salamanca but that this
force however formidable in collective nun
bers, was not held adequate to the invasion
of Portugal" The information given by
spies and deserters, must always be receiv-
ed with distrust; but as il was knswn fact
that the collection and conveyance of sup.
Plies was matter OF extreme difficulty and i'll

be said 10 be masters only of the surface they
occupy with a military force /; and where
their conveys and foraging parties were Con.

all straggers /; it was thought that not more
than half the total nu 'nber under Massena,
would attempt TO enter Portugal with a

Spaniards in awe and from this coni1iction
Lord Wellington kept his position, not think

on the ground that the British government
had exceeded their power in granting a Ii
cense to avessei under her peculiar cire uin-
stances. The plea was allowed, and tho
insurance voided. The insurance company
then brought their demand for whatever of
the premium was due on the vessels which
had reached their destination. Their own
plea was thrown back on them. Afbitra.
tors were appointed to ascertain what part
OF the cargo was bona fide Spanish proper
ty, and the claim of the insurers was nov
argued to be invalid on all that portion.
Lord Ellenborough was of opinion, thae
the resistance OF the merchants was perfect

sent instance, the insurance office could not,
from the Inherent defect ofthe license, have
sustained any loss by the misfortune of the

has changed her destination, as she has
been chartered by the French Vice Con-

carry him to MarSetUes he having been or
dered by the DeY to quit the Regency in

by French privateer and as there was
no other vessel in the port ready to take
him within SO short period. Colonel Lear
has Consented to her going TO France as a.
cartel. This affair happened the 3Oth os
March. The brig sailed with the Consul
on the first OF April. and is to retarn here.
Immediately in ballast, and is now expect
ed, and is to depart for the United States
Immediately on her return. The Dey saws
his dispute Is merely personal with this con-
