LATEST FROM SWEDEN.
| > By the arrival this morning, of the ship Mer-
..." cator, captain Churchhill, in 65 days from Got-
tenburgb, we learn, that the people of Sweden
'Were in a state of great inquietude, and that a
general insurrection was seriously apprehended.
The nobility yypre particularly, hostile to. the
Crown prince. Several attempts had been
made to take his life. One of the senators se
cretly deposited poison in a cup of tea which
■was intended for the prince, bat which, was ac
cidently drank by another person of the com-
i .pany, who was immediately taken sick, and
11 Soon expired. Another attempt was made by
pne of their military officers. This offieer em-
' ployed a soldier, fora liberal reward, to shoot
the prince while reviewing the troops. But
v. the soldier, in a moment of compunction, shot,
instead of the prince, the horse on which he
rode ; and on being detected, he exposed the
officer, who was instantly arrested; exhibited in
Aisgrace for several days, in the streets of Got-
xenbnrgh; theft confined in chains ; and it was
supposed, .he would be executed.
Martinique in possession of the British.—
Captain Franklin of the British schooner Bul
wark, who arrival this morning in 13 days
from Martinique, informs us, that, on the 4th
*f Jnne, admiral Durham in the Warrior 74,
iirith 3 frigates and a fleet of transports, arrived
at Martini one, and took possession of Fort
Royal in behalf of Louis the 18th. • The French
troops (acout 500 in number) who had garrison
ed the fort, and who had declared in favor of
Bonaparte, were embarking, from the 4th to
- the $th of Jane, in two transports, and were to
'sailimmediately for France. The Bourbon flag
was flying, and the militia of that island were

SPANISH. MANIFESTO
Of the iustice. importance and necessity that

aion of the usurper Bonapaite, procure the

BY THI KING. -
One of. the best kings that France has had.
'Louis the 16th, was the victim that the cabal
. X>( cruel regicides sacrificed to their ambition,-
Jt> thy astonishment snd terror'of the-world,.

..‘The* treke of s fatal execution cut the thread ot
' 3 the’life «t Louis the 16th; his royal virtues for-
taking France, sought an asylum 'in the heart
ot Louis the 18th?SJnd this unhappy kingdom,
,.’■', was trout that instant the bloody theatre of an-
. , - arrhy and factions. These, though varied in
TW». olflerent forms, all agreed in the system of sac-
riheiog the public prosperity to their, own'pre*
W
servatisn , and succeeding each other brought
• forth the tyranny cf Bonaparte; and concentrat.
fy *g| «d, in his hands, the arbitary power exercised
..- until then by many. . •- -
. Mgjjh By means of seduction, fraud’sad farce; this
' spring of parties was proclaimed emperor
of Europe,' which had neither the power to ai
ter the eternal principles cf justice, and less
the doty of maintaining them to the extreme of
hazarding the independence and , preservation
of their subjects,, the first objects of Their gov
ernments. Spain taught them all the art to put
at» end te the disturber nf the world i and, by
her example, alter stifling private rivalships,
the powers succeeded to re unite themselves
against tbe common enemy, and formed the
most jast alliance, to restore to France her le
gitimate and desired sovereign, and banish
frem her throne the sacrilegious intruder. He,
fertile in arts, in no ways scrupulous in the
choice of means, and accustomed to charac
terise as treaties agreements made with fraud
and violence, he pretended to dispel the storm
by negeciating with me at. Valeocay, and the
fituit ot his artifices was the humiliation of see
ing them frustrated. .Could the perfidious think
that it was in his power to deceive twice, cr that
I could harbor in my heart the idea of purchas
ing my. liberty at tbe cost of the safety of my
neopie, and at the cxpence of the tranquility of
Europe ?
Heaven could not but favor the enterprise of
her ancient sovereign, so much distinguished
for morality, religion, and humanity; and all
began to breathe with freedom when they taw
their rights recognized in the treaty of Paris.
What are the titles on which Bonaparte founds
his right to the crown of France, and his' pre
.tensions to recover it, supported by the demo
raliaed part of the nation, but mourned'with
the tears and sorrow of the most sound portion,
who sigh so live under the auspices ot. the just
and clement Louis the 18th?
As soon as by the efforts of the faithful and
brave ot Spain, in union wi'.h the other powers,
the chains that confined me in Valencay were
broken, I came out of that residence to place
myself in the midst of subjects at a father in
tbe bosom of his family. To the satisfaction,
Spaniards, of seeing myself among you, was
united the firm purpose and sweet hope of re
pairing, by a long peace, the havoc of the most
desolating and bloody war. Nothing affected
me but the difficulty of the undertaking. War
had depopulated the provinces, converted into
wastes the most fertile lands, obstructed our
commerce, enfeebled the arts, corrupted mo-
rals, impaired religion, and enervated the laws.
How mauy important and worthy objects to
occupy the attention of a sovereign who was
not born for himself, but to labor for the hap
piness of the people that Divine Providence
had committed to his care and vigilance! In
what a short time the work of many centuries
is destroyed, and how many difficulties docs its
repair eff-r! I expected to conquer them all
by perseverance, by perm tnent peace, and by
the exertions of a paternal government protect
ed by Providence—but this, io its high and in
scrutable designs, has permitted Bonaparte to
return and disturb Europe, and declare him
self her enemy, violating the conditions ot the
treaty of Paris. Thus the -war, prepared by
him, will justify the conduct of cabinet*'and
exempt all their alliances from all.responsibi
lity.
The good and advantage of France and of
the general tranquility were the object ot the
transactions of the allies—for this purpose they
restored the despoiled dynasty to its throne,
placed on it the just, tbe desired by his people,
the conciliating and pacific Louis the 13th, and
delivered the world from a conqueror,, who,
knowing no other glory than that ot war, ruined
France in order to carry deflation to the na
tions that he wished to subdue.
The war, which the aggression of Bonaparte
has provoked, is not only justified by the obli
gation that every sovereign i. under to support
his guarantees and confederation;, but also by
the sacred duties that the institution of sove
reignties imposes upon them.
War is a pernicious evil—no government
ought to undertake it but to redeem the people
from caatnities greater than those ot war itself.
This is the case, Spaniards, in which we are.
Bonaparte, after his aggression against France
and her legitimate sovereign, a id having viol
ated the treaty that he acceded to, maintains
that he has injured no person, that be has re
covered his legitimate rights, that the sover
eigns cannot call them in question, and that he
wishes to live at pearn with all. Jt is not
peace that tbe invader wishes, he only wishes
to see himself Ireed from foreign inquietudes,
in order to employ the armed part of the
French nation ag.tinst the greater aid more
sound but disarmed portion of it. To ward off
all kinds of attack, he wishes the powers to
believe tnat he is going to labor for the peace
and prosperity of Europe y as it she could have
forgotten that since he-took the reins of govern
ment terrible wars have been constantly re
newed and the springs of public prosperity
have been exhausted iu all the countries sub
mitted to his influence ; or as if Europe could
tall into the absurdity of-imagining that Bona
parte .is capable of divesting himseiref bit in
variably observed maxims. . •
Spain does not want to learn lessons of any
one, sho has them sufficiently instructive in her
fatal errors. She has been afflicted by Bona
parte with t wo_kinds of war ; he waged .it
until the.year JS08 against- her'dignity, her
treasures nqt fleets and her armies, rendering
them subsetvieot to his designs, this was cal
led by this exterminating ally r amity. And in,
order, that., no person should rely on his
pledges of gratitude, fie .parctised the same
year at BayonnejJhe machinations well known.,
at the. public after wards'to .-the; end. ot sup-;
porting the'most attrocious deed of perfidy and

the provinces of this nation and treated her

Front the London Observer of March 5.
In a sermort preached by Don Blaz de Osto-
loza, chaplain-major of his Cathlic majesty, and
his confessor, we are informed in what manner
his majesty spent his time during his confine-
ed at Valencay. He embroidered himself
beautiful robe of white silk, with gold pallets
and gold fringe, for the Virgin. He had
raised a superb altar, gilt, and he sometimes
served himself the mass at the feet of the queen
pf the angels.. The queen of the angels was
inOst sensible pf these royal attentions, and
manifested to him her conlent by many signs,
jo particular, i>ne night when the Confessor
was overcome with sleep in the church, the vir
gin appeared to him as coming, out of the altar,
shq^advanced towards him, made several
turns round liim, and said to him, sigh
ing, that' her son received the vows of
tlm kinj* infecompence of the fine robe that
he .had given her, and concluded by assuring
.him that the Spanish princes would not remain
Jong without being delivered, and that they
must form an order of the holy sacrament, in
which all chevaliers should arm for his defence.
We are also assured that the Holy Virgin had
already said as much to the king himself, who,
in, thanking her, promised that on his return
to Spain, he'would make worship flourishing
throughout his.dominions.
