The only means of working on a man of that description is by an appeal to his feeljngs and genceosity. And why should he not be treated, as every ,eel man would conduct himself towards an eccentric character in private life, he Hatters his reigning foible in order to resider him an useful -member to himself and We has‘•. )thing, at present, to apprehend from the mistaken notions of the King of Denmark ; hut we reiv render his exaltation and eccentricity extremely use fitl-to the common cause of Europe. As he has a strong tincture of the romantic in his composition, to which his domestic misfortunes might has e contributed, in restoring him generously and unconditionally his Fleet and Colo nies, we will gain more on his affections than if we were to otter him a convenient Swedish Province, or an additional island, but clogged with clauses and conditions. He has been a good son, and is a most excellent husbard, and a very indulgent father. He is loved and esteemed by his sehAerts on account of his moderation, accessibility, and stria attentinn to his duties. Therefore the more gene r-aus and enronditional the restitution is, the more useful nc reseler him in the present crisis. And should he even r•gr a traiior to himself, to his country and to Europe, what have we to apprehend from his miserable ships ? Where is the French army they might now transport to our coasts? And after the example the Spaniards have given us, and the accession of their Fleet to oar own, shall ee hesitate to do a magnanimous and, at the same time, a i‘rellent action, from the very improbable apprehension of their abusing our generosity ? Such examples of treachery are sere rare. But supposing the Danish Government stiould act in that monstrous manner, and that instead of eighteen ships we restored them a hundred, after the ex ample given us in the of Europe, we appeal to the native courav of our countrymen, if we should be afraid aw present of a visit on our shores from a Danish Fleet and a French Anny ? We know our countrymen better; and they have to decide between a great dee sive mea sure, by the liberty of Europe is secured, and au in vasion from eighteen Danish ships, they swill not long hoiwe. Another consideration, though certainly not the least im portant, is the certainty we have of gaining Russia likewise by this measure. The Russian Government in all its public declarations. and in its private communications to our Mi nister, affected to consider the !ieil'.are of the Danish Fleet the cause of 10.'r rupture. The majoriy of the people 01 that country are interested in our favour; and as soon we have give n th em an op p or t un it y of raising their s'leesa*iinst the pernicious influence of a corrupt cabal, they witi soon efface from the mind of Alexander the un fortunate bias he has received. However, in case of a renewal of our former friendly intercom(' with that coun try, no adulation should he employed, as it we gave back the ; le-t in compliment to her Monarch. This is always atfendcd w ith future incou.eniences ; and the more simply we go to work, the more judiciously we act : we give back the Fleet, loceaus , we have no more to n d from the Danes nor their Fleet ; and because we are convinced that every Government, in possession of its senses, is now persuaded how dangerous and atrocious a ruffian Bona parteis. We h ave no d ou bt o f t h e i ntent i ons o f A ustr i a to resist Bonaparte ; aid this act of .justice on our part will facilitate the renewal of her ancient frienAship with us. By this single act (the resiitetion of eighteen Danish ships) we may probably forma coalition of Europe against France, but better concerted than any preceding one—At least the experiment is well worth trying. The disadcan tnes that may result frogs it are trifling in comparison to the advantages we may enreet. We. ther►-fore vrish that this measure may be speedily carried into eifecL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

STOCKIIOI.III, JvL' 4.—111 s Royal Swedish Majesty has been pleased to appoint a Board of Regency during his vo‘agg to the coast of Fitilmid and Poland, composed of Count Azel Trot Waehmeister, Lieutenant-General Count Fersen, (ieveral Baron Siedingk, Count Samuel Ugglas, Lieutenant-General Ittron Cederstrom, and Baron Ehronbelitt. • His Royal Majesty has received the following report from Field :Marshal Count Klingspor, dated Head-quartette, Old Car• lebv and Jurobotad, the 18th and :?Nth of J tme. Itly last report was of the 14th lust. which I dispatched from Hemmango, ha'. he_ since male several motenn nts to turn the enemy's strong position in Old Carleh%,ard therehy to com pel him to abandon the saute, when I received the unexpected intelligence that the enemy, 5000 strong, had evacuated Old Craleby. Having occupied that position, I thought it necessary to reinforce the corps under the orders of Col. Sandell, since I had rest iveti a report of his having been two days engaged with the enemy, the particulars of which action 1 am, however, not vet acquainted w ith. The Russians have, however, fallen back farther to New Carleby, rind their advanced posts are near Sandhy, a quarter of a mile from Jacohstad. " In cotreottence of your Royal Majesty having ordered another expeditian to proceed from Sweden to "%Vasa, in order to make a diversion in favour of the Finnish army, I thought it right to pursue the enemy after the evacuation of Old Carleby, with the utmost vigour, I made accordingly the necessary dis positions to attack New Carieby, which was occupied by the enemy. and by earrving the position, to become masters of the road of Lapp() and Wasa, which separate in opposite diroctions on the other side of New Carleb%, the former in order to keep up the communication with Sawolaa, and the latter w ith regard to the division on the side of %Vasa. " The attack was made on the '2nd with so much gsillantrt and -ucces, that the ktissitins %%ere driven from New Carlehy, the loss of 70 men token prisoners, and a much greater 'lumber killed and wounded- Mermen KLisosPon, Field-Marshall and General in Chief of the Finnish Army. - - GotTENnu no, Lv B.—According to private letters front Stockholm, received by the post of to-day, the K ing is gone to Finland for the purpose of having a meeting with the Emperor Alexander. It is Anted in these letter: , , that the reason of th• urcesses of the Swedes against the Russians in Finland has been, that considerable numbers of the latter have been ordered to march into Russia►► Polantl, which country, it is rumoured, Bo naparte demanded ; and those letters go so far as to say, that the meeting of Alexander ani Gustavus has for its object the forming a new Coalition against France, to which Austria► will ;oin all her force. he reports, we fear, are at least prema ture, if not entirely unfounded.
