LONDON, September 80.
We have received Journaux de pElbe
from Hamburger 10 the 5,h inst. with
private intelligence. Nothing official
has ,ran.pired as to the interview at A.
bo. 1t is rumored, however, that there
wass total incongruity of sentiment be.
tween all the parties. Russia was Tor
having the cooperation Of Sweden at
any rate, and under any circumstances.
Sweden fearful # an attack from Den.
mark, wa. determined to prevent the
possibility of it, by striking decisive
blow against her neighbor, and not Nm
til this was accomplished, would she in.
cur the hazard Of more remote opera
tons. Great Britain, fearful that Swe-
den would incorporate Denmark with
her own territories, and that Alexander
wa. priyy to such q purpose to preserve
Fin!and,@ was resolved that Denmark
should remain unMolostcd.
The edi,orsof several German jour
nails have been reprimanded for insert.
inc extracts of letters from the grand
army, detailing the military operations,
losses. &c. They are, in future, to co.
~ all their intelligence on this subject
from the French papers. The letters
which appear in the Frrnch journals, OH
military subjects, are manufactured BY
persons in Office. 1t is not, perhaps,
generally known, that Officers with the
army are forbidden to write respecting
military events to their friends, but are
desired to refer them 10 tie bulletins.
a letter from Madrid says" The
marquis of Wellington is in the great
est favor with tho Spariards his sim.
plici,y of living and gravity delight
them. 1t was proposed that there should
be grand masquerade ; but as some of
thr old families said this was one ofthe
French innovations which had tended so
much to ruin their morals, the Duo de
Rodrigo set bis face against it, and there
was 30 masquerade. His lordship, how
ever, gave a tpcst splendid ball and sup.
per in the palace the state servants
waited upon the company, tbs stats a.
partments were all lighted up, and every
thing found in the same, splendor as
wren the royal family Of Spain, or more
lately Joseph aud his court, possessed
the palace, where the marquis Of Wei
Iingion now resides One change there
wss-,he English foot guards were seen
at the avenues to the palace, and at the
different landing places of the grand
stair case. In the rooms, all were pre-
scented to the Due dc Rodrigo, who WAS
very courteous to all. His lordship
way plainly dressed in his generals uni
form, with blue cloth pantslopns. 1t
is certainly novelty to ethe pa-zdcs
