The part that Russia and France will take in Swedish affairs we leave to events to shew. Russia goes on very slowly in its war with Turkey: but Austria seems to be gaining ground towards the Turkish frontier. The time is not yet come for the union of these two latter powers against the Turks, but it cannot be long delayed. Italy is quiet: but the southern part is making great preparations for the invasion of Sicily, which cannot be preserved under its present system. France is continuing its anti-commercial system. The feasts on the return of the emperor to Paris have met with a sad check, and it is probable that they will not for some time be resumed. The apartment, in which were the emperor and the empress, and all their court, was on a sudden in a blaze, from a curtain taking fire, which spread rapidly through the drapery. The confusion may easily be imagined; several persons lost their lives, and amongst them a princess. We sympathise with the afflicted families. The calamities of our enemies cannot, and ought not, to afford pleasure to a generous nation. The commands of states may set nations at variance with each other; but the great ties of our common humanity are not therefore broken. The active mind of Bonaparte will not be stopped by such an event, and the less time he gives to diversions, the more will he be occupied in the agitation of plans for the disturbance of kingdoms. He has not yet obtained the triumph over Spain. Cadiz is not taken, and the English are entertaining its inhabitants with races on the Isle of Leon. To that place a Cortez is summoned, but there, probably, it will never be assembled. The fatal delay of that measure has been the ruin of Spain. The Gallic king has the honour of introducing those improvements which ought to have been the work of its own representatives. The chief point of interest in the country was the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo, which is supposed, after a manly resistance, to have fallen, and the British army is exposed to the attack of the whole French force. Massena is at the head of a very numerous army, and he will hardly venture upon the attack without the

But

strongest grounds of success. Lord Wellington will most probably make good his retreat to Lisbon; and if so the French may leave him for a time in quiet possession of Portugal, and finish the war in Spain by the taking of Cadiz. Portugal must then fall an easy prey for if the Spaniards could do so little for their country, what can be expected from the Portuguese.

Spain will not be again a powerful kingdom. Should the French succeed, they must be content with the European territory, for the colonies will be detached from it. The Caraccas have set the example by a very spirited manifesto, declaratory of their independence. Peru and Mexico will soon follow. Indeed what are they to do? whom are they to obey? If the inhabitants of the mother country could form a junta for its government, that may equally be done by the inhabitants of South America, and they have long been prepared for the event. Into what masses they will be formed, and by what modes they will be governed, time must discover: but one consequence will be a vast trade opened between this country and the western world. It remains for us to take the advantage of this turn of affairs, and to leave the new kingdoms to their own arrangements.

The West Indies send melancholy rumours to this country of mutiny in the black regiments. This will naturally excite apprehensions of danger from their brethren in slavery. The northern possessions of this country are said to have had in them the seeds of dissatisfaction, but what are the real facts is not generally known on this side of the Atlantic. Every thing is however tranquil, and the prudence of government will prevent any mischief. In the United States the conduct of France is duly appreciated, and of the two contending nations it is now clearly seen, that they suffer most from the French. The consequence, we trust, will be a firmer union between us and the Americans. It is equally our interest, as of theirs, that friendship should subsist between us. They cannot resist our power on the seas, and it becomes us, therefore, to exercise it with the more prudence and magnanimity.

NEAR LONDON.

Prince Joseph Schwartzenberg was engaged all the night in search of bis wife. He was doubtful of his misfortune till the day broke, when a disfigured corpse was found near the saloon, which Dr. Gall thought to be that of the Princess Schwartzenberg. It continued no longer doubtful, when her diamond and medallion of her children, which she wore suspended from her neck, were examined.

Princess Fauline of Schwartzenberg was daughter of the Senator Aremberg; she was mother of eight children, and four months advanced in pregnancy. Apprehensions are entertained for the life of the Princess de la Layen, wife of the Russian Consul, also for that of the Baroness Tousard. Fifteen or sixteen persons, more or less wounded, are out of danger. Prince Kurakin has slept, and this evening great hopes were entertained

that his accident would not terminate fatally. The Austrian Ambassador, whose horrible situation it is easy to conceive, shewed during the whole night those attentions, that activity, acuteness, and presence of mind, which might have been expected of him. The officers of his legation and of his nation gave signal proofs of their courage and devoted ness. The emperor retired at three o'clock in the morning. He sent several times during the night to en quire the fate of the Princess Pauline Schwartzenberg, which remained uncertain. At five o'clock in the morning he received the account of her death. His Majesty, who had a particular esteem for this Princess, regrets her loss extremely, Her Majesty the empress exhibited the greatest calmness during the whole of the evening, but on hearing this morning of the death of the Princess, she shed abundance of tears.-Moniteur, July 3.

Married.] A few days since at Mary-le-bone Church, Thomas Robinson, aged 65, to Mary Ann Peasant, a lady of property, aged 77, both of Ogle-street, Mary-le-bone. On their return from the hymeneal altar, the venerable pair were honoured with a grand concert, which attracted many to their door, as it was a concert of marrow bones and cleavers.

At St. George's, Hanover-square, the Hon. Cecil Jenkinson, to Miss Julia Shuckburgh Evelyn, only daughter of the late Sir George After the ceremony, Shuckburgh.

the new married couple set out for Lord Liverpool's, at Coombewood.

Died.] At his house, Fitzroy-farm, Highgate, the Right Honourable Lord Southampton, (nephew to his Grace the Duke of Grafton) a LieutenantGeneral of the army, and Colonel of the 34th regiment of foot.-His lordship was but in the 49th year of his age, and within a month before his death appeared in the utmost vigour of life.-His lordship is succeeded in his title by his eldest son, an infant in the 6th year of his age; he has also left another son and three daugh

ters.

At his house, in Windsor Castle, aged 88, J. Beckett, Esq. He was one of the Poor Knights of Windsor, being appointed in the year 1774, and was formerly a private in the Life Guards. His Majesty was so pleased with his appearance and figure as a soldier, that he graciously ordered him to sit for his portrait in full length, which his Majesty had suspended in the palace, and afterwards recommended him to the then vacant situation as Poor Knight.

At her house, at Tottenham, Mrs. Lydia Miidred, relict of the late Daniel Mildred, Esq. merchant and banker. The private worth of this lady was respected and revered by all who knew her. Friendly without

ostentation to those in humble life, she endeavoured to minister relief in poverty, sickness, or affliction; and to promote the improvement, welfare, and happiness of all around her, con stituted the primary object of her life.
