STATE

STATE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS IN MARCH.
Containing official Papers and authentic Documents.

SWEDEN.

A REVOLUTION has taken place in Sweden. When the last dispatches left Gottenburgh, the king was a prisoner, and Count Uglas, Count Fersen, and others of his fiends, had been ar

rested. The tribunal lately instituted by the King, at Stockholm, for the trial of some of his nobles, has been dissol ved. Overtures had also been made to the cabinets of Paris and Petersburgh for the restoration of peace.

Proclamation,

"A considerable number of soldiers have taken up arms in order to march to the capital, and relieve our common, now unfortunate and dismembered, native country. As our fellow citizens must be sensible that our views are such as public spirit and honour dictate to virtuous minds, we cannot be mistaken in our implicit confidence, that our brethren in arms, and our unarmed fellow citizens, will not form any incorrect opinion of our sentiments and views: they are merely these, that the states of the realm, and our legislators, shall be at liberty to assemble, and deliberate uncontrouled, on the means of restoring the prosperity of our suffering country.

"We have solemnly contracted the engagement to lay at their feet the arms which we have taken up to procure them freedom. We will form a wall around the hall where Swedish legislators hold their deliberations, which no power upon earth shall be able to bear down.

"We have solemnly contracted the engagement, to destroy all such as shall still endeavour to prefer foreign connection to the internal welfare and tranquillity of Swe

den.

"Sweden's German dominions are deliver

ed up to the enemy, and Finland, the native soil of a noble and gallant people, is lost.

"We have solemnly contracted the engagement, that not a single inch more of the Sweedish territory shall be given up to the enemy.

"Sweden's trade and mines are ruined and deserted; Sweden's youth are taken from agricultural pursuits, in order to be destroyed by sickness and the sword. The burthens laid on agriculture are such, that they cannot be borne any longer; grinding taxes are exacted without mercy; desolation and misery are spreading wide and far, and threaten universal ruin.

"We have contracted the solemn engage ment, that the fathers of the country shall enjoy full liberty to restore the welfare and prosperity of the country.

"May the higher and lower States of the

core the freedom country, and thus, sert the freedom of the country, and thus, by harmony and well concerted efforts, ensure success to our enterprize and views.

"May the fathers of the country offer peace and amity to our neighbours, but accompany this offer with the assurance that every Swedish hero will rather be buried under the ruins of his country than suffer a single inch of Swedish ground to be taken by our enemies, or transferred to them.

"Our ally, Great Britain, shall learn to appreciate and value a nation, which knows how to break its fetters, and rescue liberty from its chains; France shall learn to respect a people, anxious to rival her military prowess; the rulers of Russia and Denmark, incessantly engaged in pursuits tending to promote the prosperity of their people, will not disturb the peace and tranquillity of a nation, which merely desires to live or die independent.

"We have seen with sorrow the most important concerns of Sweden, managed in a manner which was as destitute of any well conceived plan as of success.

Might not the remaining strength of Sweden have been wasted by folly? but if directed by wisdom, may it not be employed for the real benefit of the country?

"Such are our wishes for our country, and we shall readily sacrifice our lives to obtain their fulfilment.

"It is of the utmost importance for Sweden thar every Swede should at length be allowed to return to a peaceful home, as far as it can be done without any disparagement to the honour and independence of Sweden.

"The frontiers of the kingdom are for a short time left without defence, on account of our departure from thence; but should the enemy, contrary to his solemn promise, avail himself of our absence to attack them, we shall speedily return, take a severe revenge, and convince him of the difference of a warfare carried on by personal hatred of the rulers, and a war urged by a nation, anxious and de termined to assert its independence.

"We implicitly confide, that all military Commanders will readily co-operate with us, to secure, by speedy and vigorous exertion, the restoration of our lost prosperity, in the destruction of our foreign foes.

To conclude, we venture to express the wish, that our beloved countrymen and fellow-citizens of every rank and description, may suspend their judgment on all further proceedings, until the decision of the states of the realm shall be known.

"The Commander of the troops stationed in Weimland.”

The

The Duke of Sudermania, the King's uncle, having assumed the Government as Regent, issued the following

On

three flags of truce, furnished with autho
rity, arrived at the head-quarters, and
signed the surrender of the place.
the 27th, at seven o'clock in the morn-
ing, the town was occupied by the divi-
sion of Mermet, and by a brigade of dragoons.
On the same day the garrison was disarmed:
the disarming also produced 5000 musque's.
The people who do not belong to Ferrol,
have been remanded to their villages -The
men who had stained themselves with blood

Proclamation.

"We, Charles, by the grace of God, He. reditary Prince of Sweden, the Go:hs, Vandals, &c. Duke of Sudermania, Grand Admiral, &c. &c. do declare, that, under existing circumstances, his Majesty is incapa ble to act, or to conduct the important affairs of the nation. We have therefore, (being the nearest and only branch of the family of age) been induced for the time being, as Administrator of the Kingdom, to take the reins of Government into our hands, which, with the help of the Almighty, we will con duct, so that the nation may regain peace, both at home and abroad, and that trade and

commerce may revive from their languishing

state.

"Our inviolable intention is, to consult with the States on the means to be taken to render the future time happy to the people of Sweden. We invite and command, therefore, all the inhabitants of our nation, our forces by sea and land, and also the civil officers of all degrees, to obey us, as our real intention, and their own welfare, demand. We recommend you all to the protection of God Almighty.

"Done at Stockholm Palace,
the 13th March, 1809.
(Signed)

"CHARLES.

"C. LAGERERING."

SPAIN.

Thirty-Second Bulletin of the French Army. The Duke of Dalmatia being arrived be. fore Ferrol, caused the place to be invested. Negotiations were begun. The civil authorities, and the military and naval officers manifested a disposition to surrender, but the people, fomented by the spies whom the English left, resisted. On the 24th the Duke of Dalmatia received two messsengers, one sent by Admiral Melgarejo, commander of the Spanish squadron, and the other, who came across the mountains, sent by the military commanders.

These couriers were both sent without the knowledge of the people. They stated that the authorities were under the yoke of a furious populace, excited and paid by the agents of England, and that 8000 men belonging to the city and its environs were in arms. The Duke of Dalmatia had to resolve upon opening the trenches; but from the 24th to the 25th, various movements were manifest in the town. The 17th regiment of light infantry had repaired to Mugardos; the 31st regiment of light infantry were at the forte of La Palma and Saint Martin, and at Lagrana; and as they blockaded the fort of Saint Philip, the people began to fear the consequences of an assault, and to listen to men of sense. On the 26th,

during the insurrection, have been arrested. Admiral Obregon, whom the people had arrested during the insurrection, has been put at the head of the arsenal. There have been found in the port three vessels of 112 guns, two of 88, one of 74, two of 64, three irigares, and a considerable number of corvettes, brigs, and unarmed vessels, more than 1500 pices of cannon of every size, and ammunition of all kinds It is probable that but for the precipitate retreat of the English, and the affair of the 16th, they would have occupied Ferrol, and seized this beautiful squadron. The military and naval officers have taken the oath to King Joseph with the greatest enthusiasm. What they relate of their sufferings from the lowest classes of the people and the English, is inconceivable.

Order reigns in Gallicia, and the authority of the King is re established in this province, one of the most considerable of the Spanish Monarchy.

General Laborde has found at Corunna, on the sea-shore, seven pieces of cannon, which the English had buried on the 16th, not being able to take them away.

La Romana, abandoned by the English and his own troops, has fled with 500 men, in order to throw himself into Andalusia.

There remained at Lisbon only about 4 or 5000 Englishmen. All the hospitals and all the magazines were embarked, and the gar rison were preparing to abandon this nation, as indignant at the perfidy of the English, as they are disgusted by the difference of manners and religion, by the brutal intemperance of the English troops, and that arrogance and ill-founded pride which render this nation

odious to the Continent.

Thirty Third Bulletin.

The Duke of Dalmatia arrived at Tuy on the 10th of February. The whole province is subdued.

He collected all his forces in order to cross the Mislio on the following day. He was to reach Oporto between the 15th and 20th, and Lisbon between the 20th and the 28th.

The English have embarked at Lisbon in order to abandon Portugal. The rage of the Portuguese was at its utmost height, and every day considerable and bloody conflicts between the English and Portuguese took place.

In Gallicia, the Duke of Elchingen has completed the organization of the province.

Admiral

Admiral Massaredo has arrived at Ferrol, and has begun to revive the labours of that impor

tant arsenal.

Peace is restored in all the provinces under the command of the Duke of Istria, which lie between the Pyrenees, the sea, Portugal, and the chain of mountains which cover Madrid. Security follows days of disorder and desolation

The Duke of Belluno has marched to Badajoz; he has restored to peace and disarmed the whole of Lower Estramadura.

Saragossa has surrendered; the calamities which have befallen this unhappy town, are a terrible example to the people. The peace which has been restored in Saragossa extends to the whole of Arragon; and the two armies which were around the town have been set at fiberty. Saragossa was the centre of the insurrection of Spain; it was in this town that the party was formed which wished to call in a Prince of the House of Austria to reign on the Tagus. The individuals of this party had partly inherited these actions which are irrevocably destroyed, from their ancestors, during the War of the Succession.

The circumvention of Saragossa was considered as inexpedient; and a free communication was left open, in order that the insurgents might be informed of the defeat of the English and their infamous fight out of Spain. It was on the 16th of January that the English were driven into the sea at Corunna, and it was on the 26th that the operations before Saragossa were seriously begun. The Duke of Monte. bel o arrived there on the 20th, in order to assume the command of the seige. As soon as he was assured that the intelligence which was brought into the town had no effect, and that a few Monks governed the minds of the people, he resolved to put an end to these indulgences; fifty thousand peasants were collected on the left bank of the Ebro: at urdiguera the Duke of Treviso attacked them with three regiments; and notwithstanding the fine position they possessed, the 64th regiment routed them, and threw them into disorder. The 10th regiment of lussars was on the plain to receive them, and a great number remained upon the field of battle. Nine pieces of cannon, and several standards, were the trophies of this victory.

At the same time, the Duke of Montebello had sent the Adjutant Commander Gusquet to Zuera, in order to disperse an assemblage of insurgents; this Officer attacked four thousand of them with three battalions, overthrew them, and took four pieces of cannon, with their carriages and hoses. General Vattier was at the same time sent with 300 infantry, and 200 cavalry, towards Valencia. He met 5000 insur. gents at Alcanitz compelled them, even in the town, to throw down their arms in their flight: he killed 600 of them, and seized magazines, provisions, and arms: among the last were 100 English muskets These operations took place between the 20th and 26th of January.

On the 26th the town was seriously attack ed, and the batteries were unmasked, and at noon on the 27th the breach was practicable in several places; the troops were lodged in the monastry of Sau-in-Gracia. The division of Grandjean entered some thirty houses. Colonel Caloiscki, and the soldiers of the Weixel distinguished themselves. At the same moment, the General of Division Morlat, in an attack upon the left wing, made himself mas ter of the whole fore-ground of the enemy's de fence. Captain Guetteniar, at the head of the pioneers, and 36 grenadiers of the 44th regiment, hid, with a rare intrepidity, ascended the breach. M. Babieski, an officer of the Voltigeurs of the Weixel, a young man, se venteen years of age, and covered with seven wounds, was the first who appeared upon the breach. The Chief of Battalion. Lejune, Aide-de-Camp to the Prince of Neufchatel, distinguished himself, and received two slight wounds. The Chief of Battalion, Haxo, is also slightly wounded, and likewise distinguished himself.
