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 - rforming military doty, qn thc8lb, when the jlwark sailed. . The follwing paragraph, which we copy from a Halifax paper of the 5th inst. [received this morning from our obliging correspondent at Halifax] shows the ground of the measure adopied by the English admiral: Halifax, June 5. By the brig Reward from Martinqne we learn, that intelligence of Bonaparte's return ' -to Paris bad reached Martinique—that the 'troOps there had declared in favor of Bona parte—and that )he governor had sent to Bar bad os for a British force to take possession of ; the Island.

MANIFESTO Of the iustice. importance and necessity that ,th- king our lord finds to oppose the aggres aion of the usurper Bonapaite, procure the repose of Europe, and protect the rights, ot humanity and religion, in alliance and onion . with the sovereigns who signed at Vienna the the declarations! the 13tb March of the pre- , *. jent year, - - 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,. ' Audio the greatest affliction of-France, who Saa tbe series of sovereigns of the Bourbon : <Jy ‘asty cut off; cf those sovereigns that history presents to os with the surnames of pioirs, just, auoh belcvtd, and fathers of .their people; of ihote sovereigns who knew the responsibility of w;.. their situations, and were conspicuous for at- fj..' r ,tention and invtsto tlieir people; of those sove- feigns, in shcrt. who. placing their glory in the . -felicity of their states, raised th--ir kingdoms .:... , from the grade ot a power of the second order . fu (he distnguwhed rank of dominant in Europe^ ..‘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 violence, he_spread- desolation and havoc over the provinces of this nation and treated her as a freehold, which an owner may dispose in favor of whom tie pleases, subject to tbe con ditions of his will..

[Whatever may be the crimes of Bonaparte, a move base, hypocritical, and false state paper, than the above was never issued.-] 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.
