THE NATIONAL REGISTER. Lotman, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1809. POLITIC:4E EVENTS OF THE WEEK. Government have not yet received an official confirma tion of the naval vktory said to have been gained in the Mediterranean. Very few doubts are, however, entertained of an engagement having taken place between the Toulon fleet and that commanded by Lord COLLINGWOOD. Tl n i account continues to circulate throngt: so many channels, and is repeated by al:nost every traveller coming from the French and Dutch coasts, that we still hope, that the honour 9f our flag has received this additional lustre. From the place, where the victory is reported to have been achlevea, it amounts almost to as impossibility, to receive, in so snort a time, dispatches from Lord COLLINGWOOD ; and it must not be forgotten, that the intelligence of the . . - iemor. able Battle of the Nile, was transmitted by the way of Germany., long before the official communication was re c.tivetl. We confidently expect to be able, in our next, to gratify our Readers, with the confirmation of tidings, which will furnish a new and splendid proof of our naval superi ority. The ocean is our domain; and the ceremony of throwing the ring, as was usual with the Doge of Venice, would more properly suite our KING, as sole and undisput ed Sovereign of the sea. The Peace concluded between Sweden and Russia, the articles of which are inserted in another part of our paper, affords a deplorable proof of the blind subserviency of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, to the hostrie views of 131ON.1• PARTE against this country. O:ie of the first conditions of the Treaty is an acquiescence, on the part of Sweden, to recognise the validity of the maritime regulations, which the tyrant of the continent labours to introduce. The shntting of her ports to our shipping is not inssted upon with that degree of rigour we at first apprehended. An exception is made in favour of vessels freighted with salt and colonial produce. This permission is justified upon the curious plea of established habit. If that pretext . be valid, a stipulation in favour of English cloth would appear to us as urgent . ; because war clothing, in the bleak climate of the North, appears as essential as cone and sugar. Bet such are the effects or blind animosity on one side, and of reluctance, at the same time, to submit to the privations which its ,gratification implies. The Court of Russia flatters at present the passions of BUONAPARTE• ift order to obtaiu his acqmiest!ence in the projected seisure of :he Northern Provin&s, and Capital of the Ottoman Em pire. But this harmony will be of short duration; and before the expiration of twelve months, the object of their mutual rapacity, and of their present union,: will create between those friends, au inextinguishablejea an interminable war. .
