STOCKHOLM, Dec. p.
Our Capital, amidlt an externa! calm,
exhibit s U1 the symptoms of the mcft inter
na! fermentation and public distrust ; double
patroies traverse the (beets, the former or
ders again it going out in the night with
out lanthorns are renewed with great rig
our, and the inhabitants have been direct
ed, uni'.-r the most fev. re penalties, to (hut
themselves up in tbtir houses, the moment
government (hall tl.ink fit to give the fig
n<rt, by firing five guns from the Citadel,
and ringing the great alarm bell. Fortu
nately this has not been found neceflary,
the number of the conspirators being pro
bably much less than was at firft appre
hended.
It cannot, however, be diflembled, that
the spirit of civil discord has arisen to an
alarming height, and that even the citi
zens of divided into fac
tions, inspired with the most bitter animo
sity one against. another. This division
was lately manifeibd on the dismission of
Nordfn, from the office of Intendant of
the Police, and the appointment of Ull
holm by the Regent, to succeed him.
The of Nordin, gave him a
public dinner, as a marlt of their esteem,
upon which their opponents conferred the
fame honor on Uliholm—happily they
• confined themselves to good eating and
drinking, without attempting to disturb
one another, or the public peace.
Uilholm and one Bratt are said to have
difcoverea the firll traces of the conspira
cy, which was afterwards confirmed by
the opening of the Countess of Ruden
flciold's letter to General Baron d'Arm
felt in Italy. This lady, on the exami
nation, denied all knowledge of a conspi
racy; but afterwards, when informed
that government was in pofleflion of par
ticulars, in consequence of which Lieut.
Co!. Sandols was apprehended, (lie made
some confeflions respecting her own part
in it.
. She, however, and all the other persons
in custody, resolutely perliil in refuting to
give up their accomplices. D'Ehren
ftrom, formerly Secretary to the late
King, Is coniidered as one 6f the princi
pals of the conspiracy. Among his pa
pers, have been found proofs of the ut
most importance. The Commis, Seigu
eul, who is also apprehended, was to as
sassinate the "gent in one of those walks
which he often takes, either alone, or
with very few attendants. Mineur, va
let-de-chambre of Baron d' Armfeldt,
whose apprehension was highly intereftintr
is also taken.
On the firft rumour of the conspiracy be
ing discovered, he fled, as is supposed, to re,
pair to his master; but, although he had for
ty eight hours start of his purfuers,they came
up with him. A courier and an oflicer were
diipatched to Italy, with proper inftrucUons
for apprehending d'Armfeldt wherever they
should find him. It was known that he was
at Naples in November, but as his million
was only nominal, it is supposed that he has
since come nearer Sweden, to watch thepro
grefs of a plot which if it had succeeded,
would have put him at the head of the kine
dom. jjg 6
Such are the public rumours, which are to
be'received with caution; because, in all
civil diflentions, it is the practice of each
party to paint the other in the most odious
colours.

which cowardice and lafcality dug under

* Conjiilerations on the Loaii.
It is well known that the French are
preparing to attack the extensive line of
posts ®i Coboung en majfe, as they lately
did those of Brunfwick and Wurmfer ; if
they wait until the greatest part of the
troops from La Vendee, joiajourdain by
regular marches ; the attack may begin
about the loth of February ; but if these
troops are conveyed by port, (as has fre
quently been done,) or if they do not
wait for them, the attack may begin ear
lier. It is £(id that this attack will be
made by the combined armies of Hoche
and jourdain, assisted by all the troops of
the firft requisition, within one hundred
miles of the frontier ; the attack will ex
tend from the Rhine along the Mozelle to
1 reves, and from thence along the Austri
an frontier to Nieuport, a distance of at
least 300 miles. Cobourg has not at this
time more effefiive men to defend this ve
ry extensive line, than Brunfwick and
Wurmfrr had in the beginning of Novem
ber, to defend a line of only thirty miles
111 length, whilst Cobourg will be attacked
by .orces three times as numerous as those
that defeated Buinfwick and Wurmfer
