RUSSIAN FLEET OUT.
The Russian fleet is supposed to be destined against Stockholm. The emperor's army has broken up from its cantonments in Finland, and he threatens to pour it into the heart of Sweden, unless she consents to accept a King of his nomination. Sir James Saumarez has sailed for the Baltic, and we hope will come up with the enemy. The Swedish Diet is said to be much divided—the deputies from the farmers insist upon framing a new Constitution before they choose a King. The army, it is also reported, is far from being unanimous. Finding that the disposition of the King has not produced the effect of restoring peace with Russia, several regiments, it is said, have expressed sentiments of compassion for this unfortunate Monarch, and repentance at the conduct that has been adopted towards him.
