FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 3.- On Tuesday the Princess of BAADEN made her public entry from Drotningholm into this City, amidst the acclamations of the people, and with a continued discharge of artillery from the quays and avenues leading to the Palace. After the ceremony of presenting the Court and Foreign Ministers had been gone through, in the evening His SWEDISH MAJESTY conducted his young and beautiful Bride to the Palace Chapel, where the Nuptials were performed with great pomp and solemnity by the ARCHBISHOP of UPSAL. After this ceremony was over, THEIR MAJESTIES supped in public in the Great Hall of the States.

The following day a Court was held to receive the Congratulations of the Nobility, and THEIR SWEDISH MAJESTIES, after dining in public, went in the 'evening to the Opera-house, where the splendid Opera of Gustavus Vasa, a National Piece, was performed.

The young QUEEN being slightly indisposed, the public illuminations, the Bal Paré, and other festivities, are suspended for the present,

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 11.- Sixty sail of homewardbound merchantmen sailed from Elsineur on the 5th inst. under the protection of His Majesty's ship Naiad.

BERLIN, NOV. 11.-The state of the KING of PRUSSIA'S health is still very precarious; to-day's accounts are by no means satisfactory.

It does not appear that any invitation has yet been received by this Court to send a Minister to assist at the approaching Congress at Rastadt. But it is still confidently given out, that such an invitation is expected, and Baron JACOBI, His Prussian Majesty's Minister to the Court of London, is said to be the person intended to be employed on that occasion.

HAMBURGH, Nov. 14-It is reported here confidently, that the French Government have not abandoned their long projected plan of invading the North of Germany, notwithstanding the Peace concluded between France and Austria, and the Congress which is to be held at Rastadt.

TURIN, OCT. 18. BUONAPARTE has ordered the Genoese Government to send 3000 men to his Army, and in addition he has demanded a Loan of 2,400,000 livres onthe security of some jewels, at 12 per cent.

BERNE, OCT. 29.—The Helvetic Body still persists in their refusal to interfere in the troubles of the Valteline.The Grisons have refused to receive that Province into their Alliance, and to acknowledge it as an Independent State. It is most probable that it will be annexed to the Cisalpine Republic.

Every person who is desirous of ascertaining the real cause of the War in which Europe has for the last six years been engaged, and will examine the subject thoroughly, will find its source in the French Revolution itself. There is scarcely an example of a Revolution in any great Country, which has not led to Foreign Wars.

The

The internal convulsions which such an event must produce, will make it the interest of the Ruling Party to endeavour to divert the attention of the people from internal to external contests. The multitude of active and restless spirits which will be called forth, must make it their interest to find a vent for them in hostile enterprizes against. other States. But if this is true when applied to other Revolutions, in how much greater a degree must it be true when applied to the Revolution in France? In France the Government was not only overturned, but property was confiscated; the order of society subverted; religion abolished; all the prejudices and feelings on which Governments have hitherto been founded, were eradicated from the minds of men. Every turbulent and factious spirit in every Commune throughout the Country, was called into action. In this situation they thought it politic to diminish their internal struggles, by employing the attention, the talents, and the force of the Country, in vigorous external operations. This has been in a great degree acknowledged by themselves. BRISSOT, the avowed friend of Lord LAUDERDALE, gloried in being the great promoter of the War with Austria, as an event necessary for the consummation of the Revolution.

BREST. Our last intelligence from this Port, reaches down to the 15th instant. No re-inforcement whatever. was then arrived or expected, from Toulon or any other place. The ships of the Line, to the number of thirty, good and bad, were all laid up in ordinary, and the crews discharged. Six large Frigates are in the Road, said to be fitted out as Privateers. A Proclamation had been received, calling upon the Sailors to restore Freedom to the Seas by the destruction of the British Navy; and Peace

Peace to the World, by the destruction of the British Government. Money is promised, to prepare them for this glorious destiny; but hitherto none has been received, and there is no appearance of preparation whatever.

In consequence of a variety of Communications which have been made to us, on Subjects which we think of peculiar importance at this time, it is our intention to publish a THIRD NUMBER of this Paper on Thursday next.

Nisi forté assentatores publicos, plebicolas istos, qui vos nec in armis nec in otio esse sinunt, vestrâ vos causâ incitare et stimulare putatis. Concitati, aut bonori aut quæstui illis estis et quia in concordiâ ordinum nullos se usquam esse vident, malæ rei se, quám nullius, turbarum ac seditionum duces esse volunt.

TO THE EARL OF MOIRA.

MY LORD,

YOUR Lordship has been pleased to give to the Pub

YOUR

lic a melancholy picture of the state of affairs in Ireland; and your station in the Country must impart to it a degree of weight, to which otherwise it is little entitled. It is therefore for the double purpose of shewing to your Lordship that you have been the dupe of others, as well as of preventing you from innocently duping the People of England, that I fhall presume to offer a few observations upon the very erroneous account you have just delivered of the state of affairs in that quarter.

My Lord, it is not for me to arraign the motives which have influenced your Lordship to give to the Public so fallacious a description of the real situation of the North of Ireland. How far it is prudent or wise, at this eventful moment, to encourage the Enemy to a second attempt upon Ireland, by such exaggerated representations as are
