Foreign Intelligence.

LONDON, June 7.

REVOLUTION IN SWEDEN.

An important piece of intelligence has been received from Sweden.--The Crown Prince, the intended successor to the usurper of the throne of Gustavus, is dead. --He was reviewing some troops in the neighbourhood of Helsingburg, when he suddenly fell from his horse and expired. The Gottenburg papers attribute it to an apoplexy; the reports of private persons assign poison as the cause, and that this was ascertained on an examination of the body after his decease. Men are apt to suppose that when Princes die suddenly, their deaths are occasioned by violent means. We find, however, that the Crown Prince had been previously unwell, though the Stockholm Gazette of the 25th, 4 days before his decease, states that he had recovered from his indisposition, and was able to continue his journey. Had poison been the cause, his death would have been more lingering. We should not have found him able to review troops, and sit on horseback only the moment before he died. His death has given great confidence to the party that espouses the cause of the son of Gustavus, and a letter from a correspondent mentions an insurrection to have taken place in his favour at Stockholm.
