      t > f Fiance and the king of Denmark arc expected soon to join in the attack * The troops of Russia have entered Swedish Finland and It is said have obtained

      &ome advantages . They will probably confine their efforts for a great part of the campaign , to thfc conquest of Finland ; . at least they will hardly pass over the gulph of Bothnia , into Sweden much before the middle of summer .

      The French troops have arrived in Denmark and are preparing to attack Sweden in the south . The king of Sweden has received a subsidy from England , but he is reported to be endeavouring * , o make terms with France . He has already lost Pomerania ; if peace is made it can scarcely be without the loss of

      Swedish Finland to Russia ; and no doubt pome . compensation will be made to Denmark in some other parts of his dominions . If peace is not speedil y made on these terms , the contest will hardly be long * the population *> f Sweden must rise with great energy to assist their sovereign in repelling the

      • invaders , but if there is any dissatisfaction among them , he is lost for ever . What could possibly induce him to hazard so much , and to use the language he did in the last conflict , it is difficult to conceive . If be gives way his kingdom must unite with the rest of Europe in its confederacy against England , and the tremendous power of France will

      be established . How long it will be permitted to remain , who can tell ? Let us pray that the hearts of men may ; lie turned to . better things , and endea- * vour to promote the coming , of that kingdom which is the object of their daily petitions to heaven . At home many have been the debates in parliament on various topics . The

      calamitous affair at Copenhagen lias been completely determined upon in the House of Commons , which has not only resisted the efforts of . one party ta censure that , melancholy measure , but has with a very great majority passed a vote of thanks to the ministers for their

      activity , prudence , and energy , in the step they have taken . Thus as far as the sentiments of the English nation are publicly known , it approves of what has been done in Copenhagen . Whatever may be thought of such a step , the true Christian cannot but lament that in this age of the world , so little advances have been made towards that Christian

      love which would make this earth a paradise . The petition respecting the Cold-Bath-fields prison has produced a commission from the king to inquire into the

      abuses which are said to exist in that prison . It is to be hoped that the spirit of party will not enter into it , but that if any abuses do exist , they will be corrected agreeably to the spirit of the constitution . Petitions have been drawn

      up for peace in * various parts of England , but they are chiefly fromrnanufaciurers . It is not likely that any peace will be made , till all the views of the French on the Continent are completed , and as yet the sentiments of the nation have by no means been ascertained on this subject . The war against France has doubtless

      been , during the greater part of tjie contest , a popular war ; but it 13 easier to enter into a war , than to . lay down arms , and again consult the interests of all parties by acting as men and Chris- * tians . Well has Doctor Priestley observed , that'war is a luxury the , dearest of any that man can patronjsc . in -n
