LONDON, June 99.-Au the letters from
understanding subsists between the Swedish
and British governments. Two English tes-
sells, direct from this Country, had entered
Gottenburgh harbour, and were discharg
ing their cargoes. On the other hand the
Sw edish CruiZers continue TO capture every
French pr.vateer they fall ia within the Bal
tic. SIX vessels of this description recently
fell into their hands in the course OF the pre-
sent week, some Of which had sailed from
Dantzic and others from Copenhagen. Not
withstanding these acts of hostility, the ge
neral opinion appears to lie, that barnadotte
will not issue formal declaration of war
against France, unlesS,a liberal, subsidy is
,ranted him By the British government.
