-C-- Late Foreign News; , , . , -Boston, July ii..,.. Ey the (hip Belvidere, Capt, Schenk, arrived hefe . ycfterday, in 43 days from Liverpool, wc have. rcceivf defiles of the London Courier, Meflenger and Tra velleller, up to the 30:11 May, fire days later than btforc received. They do not afford any addition of confequence to our Former flock of intelligence; except .the Dutch decree on commerce, this article with others of fomc intereft, we have extracted, London, May 25. An officer of onevot our lhips la captured by the Bold gun-brig gives a molt formidable account of the number ofth enemy's flotilla in the ports of Boulogne, Vimereaux, EUaplcs, Calais, Oiteod, and . Dunkirk. He fwejls the total a mount to 5000 ; is confident that the at tempt at invasion, will be made this fum mer,; that the French fleet wilPcOme out and fight ours, and that whiHt they are fighting us. with their lhips of the line, their large frigates will relcaie the flotil la, from tha different " ports', and convoy them to our Ihorc. The number of men encamped on the Boulogne coaft is fifty thoufarid. May 27. which Sweden ha"s latfclv held to Prullia tua .j- i ' - it r- .... 1: . tppcarcu ui moil periuns cmi wmnui j . Thole who admired ihe fpirit of hi s Swe. dilh M.jeify were compelled to doubt. his prudence and every perfon was prepared to, expect that the wily councils ul the court of Berlin would find in his1 Mj-f- iy s avowal or his tentimenn, a prccxi . for commencing hpllilt'c., t?J f;r icndng . an army into Pomer'ania, which Prulfu has fo long looked upon wen ai aye or defire. But ihere is a repb't in circula tion i which would explain why Pruifia has yctabdained from making any hollile (lemonQiations agiind Pomerania. It is faid that his Swedifh Maje'.ly, hopc lels of being able to prcferve much longer that province from the hand of Pruifia, backed and fupportsd by France, has" fur rendered it tor a valuable pecuniary con fhleratiofi,. which we hardly think, or whether his Swe.lifh Majefly has exchan ged it for Ruffian territories contiguous to the north ealfern part of his5wed(hDomirt- j ions, we know not. The placing of Po merania in the hands of Ruflla would of courfc be highly dfagrecablc to Pruffia. But any fprculations upon ihe probable confeqiences of fuch ameafure would be premature before wc have afcertair.ed whe:her the rumor be well founded or not. It it 'certainly not confirmed by 'th'c fol lowing articles brought by the Hamburg mail winch arrived teller lay : Slight!, (Sweden,) May 13 ' It is rcpored, that the Puiiiiari Min iflrr has left this Court, and that a note has been published by the ca i.ict of Ber lin, declaring a'l communication between it and that of Stockholm at an en 1 for the prefenf. It is tbou.ht (hat the King of Sweden, having returned t he Order ot the Prufllan Eagle, has p,ien life to this cool re ft between Ihe two Courts. The Leipfic Gazette ot ihe 4th-Miy, contains the following article. ' " 1111 jviajcny me ring oi rruuia per ' fids, for-an cflet.tial, in 'he declaration which-he has made relative to Swedifh Pomerania without at all dilpuling the lights of the King of Sweden to the love-mgniy.-'The argumenta'which he.ha.su.. fit tUu . rmstitc wtikli fie declared, are laid down in to friendly a manner that they cannot fail to make an mpicfliun upon the Cabinet of St. Pete tfbugh.
