We are inclined to regard the in
telligence which has reached us from
Sweden, as the most prominent arti
cle of foreign new-, that has transpired
since our last. Whether Bernadotte,
the Prince Royal, has been stimuia
ted by Bonaparte to endeavor to
bring this country to an accomtiio-
dation, we shall not pretend, to say.
But certain it is, that a communica
tion on the subject ot peace has been
received by ministers from the court
of Stockholm ; and, if we believe the
ministerial Journals, they have return
ed for answer, “that these wishes
will meet with no obstacles on our
part.” We cannot suppose that this
communication is merely confined to
the conclusion of a treaty between
this country and Sweden ; because
such a transaction would be the sig
nil to Napoleon to dismember that
kingdom, or elevate to its throne a
sovereign more subservient to his
views than his favorite General. It
is, indeed said, that the proposal re
ceived by our government relates to
truce between this country and
France, preparatory to negociations
for a general Peace,and that a simi
lar application ha3 been made to Bo
naparte. We have no doubt that
the latter will readily accede to the
proposition. As to the present Mi
nisters We entertain, a very different
opinion. Still, however, we shall be
happy to find ourselves mistaken ;
and probably it may turn out, that
Mr. Perceval and his associates have
pledged themselves to adopt ;vhat, at
the period, were the well known sen
timents of the Prince Regent upon
this subject ; or probably the indica-1
tion which ministers seem to have
shewn towards a pacific overture, may '
be a mere manoeuvre to roll his Royal
Highness into security, so as they
may more effectually accomplish their
ulteriorviews. Whatever may be
in this, we earnestly pray that the
blessings gf Peace iruty be restored
to this country. Peace will establish
our commerce ; revive our manu
factures, give to thousands.the means
of subsistence ; and put an end to
that murderous strife, and all those
other calamities, consequent on a
state cf warfare. But while we are
anticipating with a fondness of which
we cannot divest ourselves, the ap
proach of a termination of hostilities
with France, it is with regret we find,
by the arrival of every vessel from
America, that the government of
that country are adopting measures
of a most hostile nature towards us.
Not only has the Bill been passed by
both Houses of Congress to embody,
25,000 additional troops, but a pro
posal has been made to levy new tax
es for the express purpose of giving
effect to these warlike preparations ;
and the bill which we noticed in our
last as a measure calculated to give
some relief to our manufactures, has,
we find, made no progress whatever
in the. House of Representatives.—
Another letter has also been written
by Mr. Foster, respecting the Or
ders in Council, which the latter re
gards as unfavorable to an accommo
dation ; and lias even gone so for as
to submit to Congress the letter of
our minister as an additional proof ot
the “ warlike” disposition of this
country towards the United States.
Neither are these sentiments confined
to the American Administration a
lone. The people of the United
States seem to have imbibed the hos
tde spirit of the government ; and,
regardless of consequences, which
they cannot fail to appreciate, they
have resolved to devote their lives
and property to the defence of the
state.
Add to all this, Government have
received dispatches from America
which leave no room to expect a set
tlement, unless the Orders jn Coun
cil are immediately repealed. By
the arrival of a Lisbon Mail, it ap
pears, it was supposed, that Lord
Wellington had in contemplation to
lay s ege to Budajoz? and, with that
view, it was said, he had left his po
sitions near Ciudad Rodrigo, and was
expected to arrive before the former
place on the 8ih inst. We rather
think that this movement of his
Lordship, is the result of a convic
tion, that it would not "be safe for
him to maintain his former ground
while so large an army as iha* assem
bling under Marmont at Salaman
ca, which in one dispatch, his Lord
ship states that 60,000 men, were me
nacing his rear. Government have
received dispatches from head quar
ters, an extract from which will be
found in last night’s Gazette, but
they are off too late a date to throw
any light on the subject. The ac
counts from Lisbon are up to the 6th
inst. whereas Lord Wellington’s last
letter is onljr dated the 29th 'Janua
ry.
Letter from the Prince Regent to the
Duke of lork.
“ My De a rest Brother,
“ A i ihe restrictions on the exer
cise of my Royal Authority will short
ly expire, when I must make my ar
rangements for the future administra.
tion of the powers with, which I am
invested, I think it right 'to commu
nicate these sentiments which I was
withheld from expressing at any ear
lier period of the Session, by my
warmest desife, that the expected
motion on the affair of Ireland might
undergo the deliberate discussion of
Parliament, unmixed with any other
consideration.
“ I think it hardly necessary to
call your recollection to the recent
circumstances unrier which I assum.
ed the authority delegated to me by
Parliament. At a moment of unex
ampled difficulty and danger, I was
called upon to make a selection of
I persons td whom I should entrust
the functions of the Executive Go-
I veriiment. My sense of duty to our
Royal Father solely decided that
choice ; and overy private feeling
gave way to considerations which ad
mitted of no doubt or hesitation. I
trust I acted in that respect as the
genuine representative of the August
Person, whose functions I was ap
pointed to discharge ; and I have
the satisfaction of knowing* that such
is the opinion of persons, for whose
judgment and honourable feelings
entertain the highest respect in vari
ous instances, as you well know.
When the law of the last session left
me at full liberty, I waved any per
sonal gratification, in order that his
Majesty might resume, on his resto
ration to health, every power and
prerogative belonging to his Crown.
I certainly am the last person in the
kingdom to whom it can be permitted
to despair ofoiiV Royal Father’s re
covery. A new era is now arrived,
and I cannot but reflect with satisfac
tion, on the events which have dis
tinguished the sbort.period of mv res
tricted fiigency. Instead of suffer
ing in the loss of her possessions, by
1 he gigantic force which has been em
ployed against them. Great Britain
has added most important acqui
sitions to her Empire. The Nation
al faith has been preserved inviola*
bte towards our Allies ; and if cha
racter is strength, as applied to a
nation the increased and increaing
reputation of his Majesty’s arras
will shew to the nations of the Con
tinent how much they # may achieve
when animated by a glorious spirit
of resistance to a foreign yoke. In
the cretical situation of the war in
the P«ninsula. I shall be most anx
ious to avoid any 'measures which
can lead my Allies to suppose that
I mean to depart from the present
system. Perseverance alone can
achieve the great object in question ;
and I cannot withhold my approba
tion from those who have honoura
bly distinguished themselves in sup
port of it. I have no predilection
to indulge—no resentments to gra
tify—no objects to attain but such
as are common to the whole Em
pire.—If such is the leading princi
ple of my cenduct—and I can ap
peal to the past as evidence of what
the future will be—I flatter myself
I shall meet with the support of Par
liament, and of a candid and enligh
tened nation.—Having made the
