It, is reported by persons who left Gottenburgh sub. frequent to the 14th instant, that the merchants of that taws', since the .declaration of war by Sweden against England, convey their goods and English merchan. din • into the neighbouring dung-pits, the country' houses, and the environs of the city. It is chiefly English manufactured goods that are taken out of the warehouses of the India Company, and the Custom.' house deptits ; to be transported either to private houses or other places in the town. For these several days they have been employed at the Custom-house, is opeaing a great number of' cases rand bales containing manufactured art:cles, for the purpose of making cut a list of them and entering ' them at the Customhouse.

A Gentleman who has just arrived from the Con tinent, and who has spent the last year on the shores of the Baltic in a variety of ports of that sea, states, that it does not appear that the adoption of the" Con ti.wntal System," in the sense in which it is understood in Russia, comprehends the Burning Decrees as in opct ction in France and her dependencies, although it involves a restriction with respect to the future im port of British manufactures, and the high duties on colonial produce elsewhere extorted. The subsequent extract came to our hands yesterday : • " DORTRECHT, DEC. !7; " Paris letters of the 231 instant state, that advices have been received from Russia, of the condemnation of a number of British ships, and likewise that the Teneriffe ships and cargoes are to be immediately sold, The latter consist principally of sugar, the price of which in Russia is rising daily, Ms Coatinastal Systaa it every where to & atloptia!" One letter from Germany Mentions that the Duchies of Holstein and Mecklenburgh have, by a public de cree', been annexed to the dominions of BONAPARTE, and now form an integral part of the French empire. Thetnorntainsand beggaryofJutland are not yet com prehended within the territories of NAPOLEON, but it is probable that the maritime facilities that province affords, and the natural boundary h supplies, will soon occasion its transference to the same authority. THE ARMY. Within these few days 100 brave fellows have vo lunteered from the 4th battalion of that fine regiment, the Scotch Royals, (at present lying at Dunbar) for service in the 2d battalion of that regiment, now in the East-Indies. The Ist battalion 42d regiment, now 700 strong, still occupy Mitsselburgh barracks, and as yet there is no appearance of their moving, although it was strongly reported lately that this regiment was to em. bark for Portugal. A detachment of the 70th regiment is at present in Ayr barracks. The Forfarshire Militia are now doing duty at New castle-upon-Tyne,and have a detachment at Carlisle. The Aberdeenshire Militia are lying at Berwick upon-Tweed, and have detachments at Eymonth and Holy Island. The Lanarkshire Militia are quartered at Port Sea tau, Preston-pans, and villages adjacent. It is reported that the Renfrewshire Militia, at pre , sent in Musselburgh, are to be quartered at Penny cuick and its environs, to do duty over the French prisoners cf war. • The Berwick and Dumfriesshire regiments of Mi litia ant still stationed at Viroodbridge barracks. The Inverness-shire Militia remain at Gosport new barracks. The S:irlingshirc Militia still continue to do duty at 'Dovei-. The 2d battali:ns 71st, and A•gyleshire Militia, still remain stationed in Glasgow ; the former in the bar racks, and the latter among the inhabitants. That gallant officer, General Sir DAVID BAIRD, if at present in Edinburgh, and appears in excellent health and spirits. There is nearly no French Officers on parole at Kelso, in private lodgings, who meet with every at tention becoming their situation from the hospitable inhabitants of the town and the neighbouring families. Preparations are making in Edinburgh Castle for the reception of 600 French prisoners, and estimates have already been given in for their maintenance. A Cener4l Court-Martial has lately been held in Edinburgh Castle, Lard Kistiout., President, on two Officers of the Ist Inverness Local Militia. The result has nct yet transpired. Caroms; Officers of the 2d or Queen's Royal P.egiment, gave an elegant dejeunee en Mon day the Ll:4 of List month, to the principal inhabi tants of this place. The mess,room was decorated with the Colours of the Regiment, and other appro. priate devices: the side-boards exhibited a mabnifi cent display of the regimental plate. The tables were laid out with that taste for which the Officers of this regiment are so conspicuous. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the party was very numerous. The.excellent band of the Reriment at tended in an anti-room and played severarpieces of music in their bust style, and the whole passed off with the highest eclat. Yesterday, at the corner of Bucklesbnry, opposite to the Mansion-House, n gentleman, in consequence of treading upon at slam ing stone, leading off the paves went, fell and broke his arm.

The Goodwin Light disappeared from her moorings, and great fears are entertained filcher safety, though as the wind blew from the North-east, it is hoped she may have drifted down Channel. or be beard of on the coast of France. Our - Margate-boats,•on Thurs day, were busied in assisting a vessel from Ostend, in ballast, and convey either to Whitstable Bay in safety.
