Novsmaza 14.—The ship Snwarrow, belonging to the American Company, has safely arrived at Croastadt with a rich cargo of furs from the North west Coast of America. The imports of gold and silver from all quarters (even by two ships lately arrived from Calais) are so considerable, that the Bank is provided with the first up to the Ist of March, and with the second till the Ist of June, till which time therefore, what is impor ted must be otherwise employed. Accounts received from the harbour of St. Peter and St. Paul, say, that the Kamtschatka frigate, com manded by Captain Golownin, arrived there on the 3d of May (0. S.) having happily completed the half of her voyage round the world in eight months and eight days. She brings also the news that Captain Lieutenant Hagemeister, with two ships belonging to the American Company, sailed a short time before. him from Lima. STOCRBOLM, NOVEMBER so. The Aulic Tribunal has condemned two of the, late Directors of the Discount Bank at Malmoe, to loss of honour, two hours' public exposure in the pil lory, and hard labour in a fortress for ten yearse— The decision of the King is expected. CHRISTIANA, NOVEMBER IS. In one of the last Sittings of the Storthing, the President was authorised to petition the King, in a particular address—lst, That in the Royal title, as well on the Norwegian coin as also in all Acts and Ordinances relative to Norway, to name this King. dom first, and not always to put Sweden first as has hitherto been done.-4dly, To obtain the restoration of the Documents, Charts, and Plans, which concern Norway, and have been removed from Denmark to Stockholm. The Committee appointed to examine the ques tion, whether Christiansand should be made a free port, has decided in favour of the measure.• COPENHAGEN, NOV. 25. A vessel lately sailed from this port, having on board presents for the King of Ashantee, on the Af rican coast. Among these presents is a gilt sword, set with diamonds, with his Majesty's cypher, and the Danish arms upon the blade. LOWER ELBE, NOV. 30. Letters from Aurich of the 20th instant state, that the Board of Justice there has appointed Commis sioners to examine iatctthe affair ache ship Britannia, which run airouni in the niet cf the 2d instant, near Langeroge ; and the Director of the Chancery, Mr. Von Vangei oue, is gone himself to Esen, to direct the proceedings. Two Blankenese boatmen were shot by the Curassiers, and 22 taken and brought prisoners to Aurich. But for the aid of the military perhaps not a piece of the cargo would have been Was near 106 peasants, eager to plunder; and armed with clubs, had collected, and endeavoured to get possession of it. Hamburgh Exchange on London, 27th November, Si 7, 31 10 ; on the Ist December, 32 3, 32 6. A Mail from Flanders has arrived since out' last. We subjoin the only extracts of any importance : AIR-LA-CHAPELLE, DECEMBER i. M. De . Berstett, the Minister of Baden, has insisted 3s obtaining, during the Congress, a definitive deci sion on the fate of the countries belonging to Baden, in order to put an end to the state of uncertainty 'which has so long subsisted. This affair has led to many private conferences of the Ministers, the result of which, as we learn from good authority, is the following arrangement : " Article 1. The integrity of the Grand Duchy of Baden, as it is at present composed, is guaranteed, preserving to the Counts of Hochberg the succession to the Government. 4 , 2. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Ba den pays to his Majesty the King of Bavaria the sum of two millions, for the liquidation of the debt of the -Palatinate of the Rhine. 3. It is engaged to dispose his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Baden to cede the bailiwick of Steinfeld to the Crown of Bavaria ; in return, the House of Austria engages to cede Gerodsiga with 6,000 souls. " 4. Baden consents that a Military Road shall be established, to form a communication between the ancient and new possessions of the Crown of Bavaria: NOVEMBER 6. The day before yesterday, the 4th of November, the anniversary of the day on which the union of Sweden and Norway was resolved on by the Storthing of the latter kingdom, his Excellency the Norwegian Minister of State Von Aucker gave a grand dinner, which was honoured with the presence of his Majesty the King and his Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In the evening was performed at the great Theatre The Union, a piece composed four years ago on oc casion of the event which has already had so favour able an influence on the welfare of the Scandinavian Peninsula. The King, who was not quite recovered' from a slight indisposition, had not the intention to go to the play; but his Majesty was pleased to yield to the wishes of the high Officers of State, who were assembled at the entertainment of M. Von Aucker, and went to the Theatre, accompanied by the Crowa Prince, and attended by the Ministers, the Members of the Council of State, :1-,e Chiefs of Nobility, and the Generals. At the unexpected appearance of the King, the Theatre resounded with the expressions of joy, affection, and of the sentiments which animated the whole public. Amidst the shouts of applause, the company voluntarily called for the national song, which was sung by the greater part of the audience, accompanied by the orchestra. The enthusiasm of the company is not to be described. FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 27. The Journal of this city contains, under the head of Liege, the following article This is the sum of the several private zccounts hitherto received re latively to the plot discovered (but not yerunveiled) at Brussels. While the Bonapartisu and the Ultras reciprocally do each other the honour of the inven tion, and others, desirous of guarding the national character from every appearance of a stain, think that the whole is founded in the erpressions of some per sons in liquor, the judicial proceedings go on without interruption, and the Government continues to follow a perfectly composed and dignified course. Certainly the object which is announced nevercould have been attained; but there would not have even needed all the means employed to effect much mischief, had it been only by implicating the most respectable names. As to the project of seizing on the Emperor, nothing hitherto concurs to authorise a beliefthat it was really entertained, either to make use of him as an hostage for Bonaparte, or to make him recognize his ,)on ; and lastly, as some would have us believe, merely to rob him." The Pails Papers of Thursday and Friday have arrived since our last. On Wednesday the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir CHARLES STUART had an audience of the KING, when the Ambassador made an official communica- tion of the death of our late lamented QUEEN. In the evening hic GRACE dined with the KING and Royal Family. His MaJury is said to have made a pre sent to the Duic of a diamond Cross of the Order of St. Esprit, valued at 500,000 francs (C 20,833 Eng. sterling.) Lord CASTLEIREAOII arrived on Thursday night, as also the Russian Prince TROUBETZKOT, and Count PAMELA, the Portuguese Ambassador be Britain—all from Brussels. The Empress Dowager of itusstA left Frankfort lon the 27th ult. on her way home by Weimar, icc. The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE set out the Same day direct for Warsaw, and the Grand Duke MI CHAEL to rejoin the Emperor Atzwinastat Carlsru he. The noted CAl'lB=2Ell3 was expected in Parison Thursday night. Five per Cents. Wednesday, 67 fr. 25 c.--Thurs day, 68 fr. SI c. 'The fluctuation which has taken place at the close of last week in the French Funds, will be found ex plained in the following extract of a private letter. from Paris, dated the 3d of December:—" important period of the liquidations is at last terminated, without producing any of those alarm ing consequences which have been so much appre hended. Great anxiety certainly prevailed on the „Exchange during the whole of yesterday, while it remained doubtful what degree of assistance would be afforded to speculators and defaulters of the mi nor class, and the rentes underwent a depression to 67t. This morning, however, the leading capitalists, who have given such essential support to two mer cantile houses of the first class, signified their inten tion of taking all the stock still unliquidated at the price of 69, on condition that the different Exchange Brokers should mutually become responsible for each cther for the payment of the differences to that ex tent. This arrangement has been acceded to, and the market is now rapidly recovering. The general result seems to be this, that the Stock has changed hands, from weak to strong ones, and that the latter, the rich bankers and merchants, will effectually sup port the ; market." Letters from Constantinople state that it is diffixult to count the number of vessels a hich pass daily by the Canal into the Black Sea. The greater part carry the French flag. There are constantly about - 200 in the port of Odessa alone. The cargoes of corn which they take, are nearly all destined for Italy, France, and Portugal. The produce of the last vintage has been so abun dant in some parts of Italy, that the quintal of raisins costs no more than 12 sous. The value of the vin tage throughout the Kingdom of Wirtemberg is esti mated at five millions of florins ; and that of the Grand Duchy of Baden at twenty millions. The Austrian Emperor, it is rumoured, intends in future to pass three winter months every year in his Italian States. It is again asserted, we presume falsely, that Lord CAITLERZAGII, at one of the conferences at Aix-la- Chapelle, spoke of the freedom of the press as an evil, tolerated of necessity in England, on account of its Fong existence, but that every precaution should be taken against the establishment of such an institu. tion on the Continent. In the new Commercial Treaty between Prussia and Denmark, it is stipulated that, in case of a war, between either of the Powers and another State, the flag of the party remaining neutral shall protect the merchandize on board, with the exception of arti cles contraband of war. It is also agreed, that the. vessels of the neutral party may freely trade from port to port ou the enemy's coast. FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, DECEMBER 3. The troops which have marched from the interior, to take possession of the fortresses on their evacuation by the Army of Occupation, consists of 36 battalions of Infantry, and 10 regiments of Cavalry. The amount of these troops is at present very small. The regiments of the Guard alone are complete, with the exception, however, of the first battalion of the legion of the Department of the North. The several departmental battalions consist of very weak skele tons (Cadres). The first battalions have already S or4oo men ; the second battalions consist of hardly any more than their Officers and Subalterns. The regiments of Cavalry have hardly from 200 to 2.50 men. Among these troops 40,000 men of the new levy are to be distributed. The regiments of Artil lery and Engineers arc, in the same manner, by no means complete, though these corps have in propor tion more men than the others. Much precaution is still observed in receiving soldiers who have served in the former army, if they cannot bring satisfactory proofs of their good conduct. WEYMOUTH, DECEMBER 4. Wednesday being the day appointed for the fune ral of our late Most Excellent MAJEsrY, it was ob served here with every devotional mark of respect. AU the shops were closed, and the Mayor and Cor poration, in their magisterial robes, attended 'Divine bervice, where a most impressive Sermon was preach ed to a crowded congregation by the Rev. Mr. DEA. !sox, from the following rext of Scripture, 23d chap ter of Numbers, 10th verse —" Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his. Nor was its solemn observance confined to our Church, as the most becoming testimony of loyalty and affection for our beloved QUEEN was also mani fested by Colonel Quevrim and the Officers of the 10th Regiment of Hussars, at Radipole Barracks, before whom and a very respectable assemblage the sacred rites were also administered by the Rev. Mr. Gonrox, who also delivered a most excellent dis course from the following words—" Blessed are the dead who die in the LORD." The continued tolling of the bell till eight o'clock, minute guns firing from his Majesty's ship Rosario, and the Town Battery and Portland Castle, together with colours hoisted half-mast in the Countess of Li verpool and Francis Freeling Post Office packets, and the shipping in the harbour, concluded the last tribute of regard that appeared manifest among all ranks and persuasions. Yesterday the following Bulletin was eahibited at St. James's Palace : " Windsor Castle, Dec. 8.
