HAMBURG, MARCH 80.
IS All eyes are fixed at this period upon the
s kingdom of Sweden, where we hear Of con-
!. spiracy having existed, the object of which
!, was to restore to the throne the descendant Of
Gustayus Adolphus. Letters from Stock
holm to the 2lst INST mention the detection
Z Of the conspiracy, and the measures taken to
Y ascertain its extent, which had been very sue
cesstuI. No person had been arrested on the
4 Goth though orders had been finally given
y to that effect In these critical circumstances,
= ii is noticed, that the prince royal, (Bernadot
" tel had by his -intrepidity and afability en-
deared himself TO the whole army who regard
& him as a father. The majority of the differ
" ent orders OF the nation manifest much devo-
N ton to the new dynasty. Some inquietude is
occasionally discovered but on the whole
d there is reason TO hope that the tranquility Of
Il the country will not be disturbed. Ifthese
rs runours may be depended on, the old king
u still retains hopes Of his restoration-but the
u number Of his adherents is very inconsidera-

! Bile how much better it was to support mo-
h mentary distress upon their natal soil, than
f. go to drag out miserable existence in for
T. eign lands where they were preparing for
\ themselves everlasting regrets.

sx yorable effect was anticipated on financial
operations.
G. 4 new disposition of the Prussian forces
was also on the eve of taking place. Besides
arsthelr proportion OF the army of occupation re-
sEturning from France in consequence of the
recent reduction, several other regiments
