The rumors respecting a misunderstanding between Sweden, Denmark and Russia, are corroborated by the movements of troops on both sides. The King of Sweden has a camp at Scania, where he himself resides; and the Emperor has ordered the formation of three camps in Finland, towards which he troops are marching, and the Emperor is expected to review them there. – The fort of Scania was supposed to be chosen for the purpose of overawing the Danes, who were disputing a short time back about the Norwegian debt; but as the payment of that debt was (according to official announcements in the Swedish. Journals) arranged by negociations in London, the keeping up the force and the presence of its royal general look very like some apprehension of attack from Russia, though it might not be thought politic to show any fear or suspicion by moving nearer to the Russian frontier.

It is stated in letters from Italy, that the recent visit of the Austrian Emperor to Italy, was for the purpose of sounding the dispositions of the holy college, respecting the views his Majesty has on the legislations, which he is desirous of obtaining, as also some other good things in Italy; nay, it is asserted, that he extends his projects on Rome itself, after the death of the Pope, when perhaps Prince Metternich will, for his many virtue’s be appointed the head of the holy college. The Austrian Emperor has conceived these projects on account of the Emperor Alexander’s intention to restore the kingdom of Poland to its former greatness; and in that case Austria will be called upon to cede Gallicia. According to the latest accounts from Russia, three camps are formed in Finland, under the command of the Grand duke Nicho1as. The Emperor Alexander is arrived in Warsaw. The assembling of a formidable Russian army in Finland and in Poland looks ominous.
