Py the arrival of the Britilh brig Princess Royal, captain M‘Gaa, in 59 days from Liver pool, we were yefleiday favor, ed with London papers of the 28th of March, three rfavs iater than were before received. The most important at tides they contain is an account of a revolution having taken place in Sweden. The king had been arrclted and made a close pnfoner. His uncle, the duke of Suderinauu, had taken upon hirnfeff the chatge of the government of the kingdom. The American vtfTels detain ed in Holland had been per mitted to depart in baliaO. Hoitiliiies had not commen ced between France and Au„ Itria. It i< laid the emperor of Kuffia is laboring haid to reftoie amity beiweea the two powers. The dukes of Auerftadt and Rivoli, [Davoufl and Mal ienaj had taken the command of the Fienfh army on the Rhine. From there appears nothing of moment. The French army did not enter Sar agossa until a iplendid account is given of the entrarjee of the duke of Montebellp (Lanncs) into it,on that and of the joy exhibited by the inhabitant, on his appcrance. The United States’ bring Hornet, captain Dent, took po Bullion yeflerday of the Princess Royal under the non* inteicourle act. London, March 27. The king of Sweden has been depoltd by his lubjects ; and his uncle, the duke of Su detmauia, hasallumed the go. vernment of the country as re gent. This important imelli gence was brought by captain Lyford, of the Prolelyie ft 1- gate, who arrived at the admir alty yelterday vviih dipatchts horn admiral fir R. Keats, in the Baltic. The revolution took place on the 13th inltani. The king was arreited as he was aDout to depart for his country resi dence ; Sc when the lalt advices came away, he was a dole pri, loner at Stockholm. When his majelly was fir It lurroun ded by a guaid, he ciiew Im (word, but was focu over, powered, and prevented from making reliltance. Counts Uglas and Ferlen, and others of his adviiers, have been put under arielt at the lame time. Two proclama. nous announce the dehgns of the friends of the revolution ; the one, dated from the palace of Stockholm., and lublcribed, the duke, declares, that ‘* his uiajcfty is incapable of acting, or of conducting 44 the impor tant affairs of tne nation,” and propoles to reter the iituauon of the country to the Rales of the realm; the other hgned by the commander of the troops in Vcrmeiarld, concurs in this lalt particular, uaails the grie vances under the ioriuer ad. ministration, and indicates the difpoliuon 01 me writer to con ciliaie the courts of Peterfburgb and Copenhagen in the fol. lowing remarkable exprefli ons: rulers of Russia and Denmark, inctlfantly engaged in purfuiis tending to promote the prolperity of their people, will not dillurb the peace and tranquility of a nation which merely delires to live or die independent.”—These procla. , mations prove fufficiently that | the 1 evolution has been etfeffed ; by the enemies of Great Britain, j Overtures have already been I tnade to ihe cabinets of Paris St. Peterfburgh fora reconciiia. lion, and thus we are depri ved of the only ally leit to us in the North of F.urope.
