FOREIGN. Stockholm, May 4.—Extract of a letter from a Baltimorean now inSwcden.—“ We are now on tip-toe for the coronation, which will take place in seven clays. The ceremony will be ve ry imposing ami very magnificent. Among oth er customs peculiar to this kingdom, l must men tion one: The precision from the Chateau to the Cathedral-is on horseback—the horse the king rides is never afterwards mounted on any occa sion whatever. We went to-day to see him; he lias been brought down from one of the royal studs, and is one of the'most beautiful animal that fancy can paint—perfectly white, with a tail touching the ground, an*a mane hanging 12 inches below bis neck, which looks like a rich bed of silver, so purely white and so perfectly neat and polished are they. This favored ani mal will pass the rest of Ids life pampered with every care, and only exercised for his health.— The horse which the late king rode at Ida corona lion is now living, and is SO years old. lie is at one of the royal Haras, from which this beunti fnl creature was brought. The third day after the coronation the king receives the homage ol the nation iu the open air. Immense scaffoldings ore erected in front of the palace, & it will be a vr- rv grand spectacle. How simple mv dear friend, nod how much more w ise are our plaiu usages at home ! How much more happy, free ar.d inde pendent are our people, any observing man must soon perceive by visiting, with a comparative eye, any, even the best of the states of Europe. FROM SOOTH-AMERICA.

From the circumstance of Judge I’rovosi having already visited Chili as a commissioner, it is probable that Judge Bland visits that interesting and delightful country merely as a traveller; we are at a loss to conjec ture what else can be the object of his remaining in South America. The accounts from the Spanish Maine are highly favorable to the Patriot cause. It was reported that Morillo had died in Conseque- > of a wound received at the battle of Calaboso. The desertions in this quarter -among the Pat riots have ceased. Margaritta is completely for tified and could repel any attempt that the Span iards could make on it.

The witness was station and knowing that the Congress must bring the I 8l | Bt the front with unthreshed straw to increase latest advices Irom the Mam, we made particular | p,. enquiries of several of die gentlemen from the Congress upon the subject, who informed that so far from the indepen lents having experienced any recent reverses, the affairs of the patriots were never in a more flourishing condition. They had lately been reinforced by a fine brigade of artillery, composed entirely of British troops, which rendezvoused at St. Thomas in New Guayna, in March last; and such was the con fidence of all classes both of the citizens ami mi litary in the emancipation of Venezuela, that they considered the event to be as certain as ifit had already been achieved. It will be recollect ed that the letter above referred to, slates that about a week prior to the 11th of June “ the in dependent general Bermudas attacked Cumann with all the force lie could get together and was totally defeated.” Now to show how little re liance ought to be placed in this and similar re ports tending to damp the interest which is felt in the enuse of the patriots, we are uneqilivocallv assured that so late as the 22d of June, Uumana had not been attacked by the patriots ; oil the contrary it was* hourly expected to surrender without resistance, as the patriots bad for some time been closely besieging it, anil bail drawn their lines to within pistol shot of the town.— Brown and Aury had united their fleets at Mar garitta, and were waiting the orders of the com mander in chief, general Bolivar, We al -o learn that the morning the Congress was getting under way from Margaritta, a de spatch vessel arrived there from the Main, bring ing posiliv" intelligence of the death of the Span ish general Murillo, occasioned by a lance wound he received in the body about 7 or 8 weeks before In addition to what appeared on Saturday July 11, as the result of our enquiries upon the arrival of the frigate Congress, we have beer, politely favored w ith several memoranda made on the spot, and have conversed with intelligent gentlemen who came in the Congress. Frain these sources we have derived the folio ' ing par ticulars of the state of the patriot cause, and such events of an interesting character, as took place during the visit of the commissioners. The Ontario, capt. Biddle, with Judge Provost on hoard, was still at Valparaiso from the Iasi accounts, but on the point of sailing, their stav having been longer than expected. The munlv and liberal deportment of these gentlemen, du ring the gloomy and distressful period preceding the splendid victory of Maipu. has elicited (he warm approbation of the merchants in Chili, as well natives as foreigners. The Portuguese still hold Monte-Video, but cannot venture out of it to forage, except in strong bodies. Their army lias e»en been kept pent up within its fortifications, by so small a three as two hundred men. Artigasai^ the pa triots of the Banda Oriental, wisely profiting by experience, have substituted for pitched battles, and regular military operations, that partisan so formidable) unavailing, places upon a footing of equality raw troops and regulars.

The defence of the others was as usual, an alibi.

The fly had blasted the wheat, the worm had ravaged the corn, and the seasons were un; i ouitious for sej time and for harvest. Nevertheless the seed sprung, the product was gathered, ami j, 3ve not heard that famine has distressed any portion of our country, as was seriously predicted, ani j not without reason. If last year promised toW the year of famine, the present no less promises to be a year of plenty. Such crops of whim and rye, as load the lands of Virginia and Mary, land, travellers assure us, have seldom been seen ; the corn, too, is generally thriving• ami both corn and wheat as far as our inlhrinj! lion extends, have been exempt from worm y fly. The rye crop is said to be inferior to tin wheat, but not inferior to an average crop. Tht cotton planters of die south, and the tobacc* planters of the adjoining states, it is feared,art not so fortunate as the farmers ; but it is hoped that in the end they will have no reason to com' plain. The reward of their labor was so abut, dant at the last season, that it would bi> ungtatt- fill to repine because at the present it is rather less. If the general product be less than usual, the price will be higher in proportion; so tint little will be lost.—National Intelligencer.

Fellow-citizens 1 These outrages were com mitted upon a Imnily of free people in Fhiladel- pliia and on tlie Sabbath day ! as can be testified by respectable persons who witnessed the scene, and saw the mother and two children dragged through tlie streets, to appear before a magistrate remote from their place of abode, where it was uucei tain that any person would know them or appear on their behalf. Fortunately for tiie suf ferers, some of their friends were informed of the eiicufnstunce,aml attended the examination ; but on the oath of Joseph Dawson, who swore to their being slaves, they were ail committed to prison. A habeas corpus was obtained, and a hearing had before the recorder, Joseph Reed, esq. at which time Dawson again appeared as an evi dence in favor of the claimant, and although it soun after became known that he was an interest ed person, yet his oath occasioned their re-com mitment to prison, from which tney were releas ed by a process of la w, entered into on their be half, in order to bi ing the case before the supreme court, where a verdict was obtained in favor of this persecuted woman and her children. A few days after the transaction just related Nelson obtained another warrant from the same magistrate, J.Thompson, esq. for a certain “Pain, a slave,” and together with his associates, Daw son and Alberti, went over Schuylkill, to the farm of Judge Huston, were they arrested a free m an of color, under the false pretence of search ing him for stolen watches ; but when Alberti had got fast hold of him, Dawson then came forward and affirmed that the black man was a slave, and said that he knew him as far as he could see him.
