GOTTENBURGH. Extract of a Lctter from a Gentleman at Gottenburgh, to his frond in Fdinburgh, dated Dec. 18, 1807. " The deplorable state to which poor Prussia is now reduced cannot be expressed. I was dissuaded from going to Memel, on account of the extravagant preteniions of the French, of which they did not then knovrthe particulars. We know them now officially, and they are indeed such as jsstify every apprehension .that ?russia must soon be annihilated. Bonaparte ilesnands the five fortresses of Stettin, Custrin, Glogau, 'Colberg, and Graudentz—the maintenance of their garrisons, which are to consist of 40,000 French .troops—annual payments of five millions of dollars, till the whole contribution of the country is made up —and land, to the amount of fifty millions of dollars, to be divided among his officers, so that the utmost of the revenue that will be left the poor King, will be about 94 millions of dollars, and in that situation it is totally impossible for the country long to exist.- - The Emperor of Russia has, little to his credit, aban doned his former friend, though it was in consequence of his promises that the King (of Prussia) did not ac cept of the favourable terms offered him after the fa mous battle of Eylau ; and, while the French force is daily increasing on the frontiers of Russia, the Rus sians are marching towards Finland, and amuse them selves with plans of going to the East Indies, 44 In Denmark we had every appearance of en joying tranquillity, till the late measures turned the scale. That unhappy country is now totally ruined ; and the Prince Royal, whose character at one time stood so high, now proves himself a fit instrument in the hands of Bonaparte, listening solely to his own passions, and regardless of the fate of his miserable subjects,. What will happen to this country /Swe den), GOD alone knows. The King has been three days here, and has conducted himself ire such man ner as to gain the heart; ot'all that ipiimached I Batter myself that the - country will be justified in plating the Mutest senfidence in his prudeno,lowl. paeity. It is generally understood that he sral, as long as poisible, observe the strictest neutrali7, and that he will use every precaution to avoid giving of fence to either party. I most ardently'wish ht stay be successful, for surely no monarch of the present' day deseryes.succeu so much ; and, in addition to the firmness he shews as a king, he proves himself the best husband and the best father in the country." By the last intelligence from Holland, it is now be. Llieved that facilities are to be afforded to American ;shipping. According to a new code American ships :are permitted to enter the Dutch ports, and dispose of their cargoes, even though they may have touched at an English port, or been searched by an English crui zer, provided they pay a certain amount of contribu tion. This new code is understood to have been fra med by Talleyrand, and it is calculated to answer the several purposes of conciliating the Americans, rais ing an additional revenue for France, supplying the Continent with certain necessary articles, particularly colonial produce, and so far defeating the object of our orders of Council. But notwithstanding this new code, the American vessels which are now in our har bours, in consequence of our orders of Council, shrink from proceeding to Holland, in consequence of a dis trust excited by a letter received yesterday from an. eminent house at Amsterdam. The writer of this letter, after alluding to the indulgences we have men tioned, observed, that still he would not recommend American ships to venture into Dutch ports, lest Go vernment should prove inconsistent, and swerve from ' those indulgences." Some vessels, however, are about to sail, which were originally destined for that coun t try ; but such as were not so destined are not likely to avail themselves of any indulgence afforded in Hol land ; for the Ministers, refusing to grant any licence to neutrals to change their original destination unless bond be given for the payment of any duties which Parliament may impose upon their cargoes, determines them not to apply tor such licences. Letters from Memel, of the 16th ult. present a most afflicting detail of. the calamities produced in that city by a scarcity of provisions. The scarcity is in deed such as almost to amount to a famine, abated , in its severity only by the.desertion of a vast number of the inhabitants. The town is therefore :wally de populated. His Pi-ussian Majesty is still at-Meinel; benevolently acting in. using the small means svhich he has heen -permitted. to retain, to alleviate the dis tress of Isis people. Yesterday, at two o'clock, his MAJESTv held a pri vate levee at the Queen's Palace, which was attended by— The Archbishop of Canterbury, Orr Archbishop of York, the Lord Chancellor, the Speaker of the House of Common:, the.

The Archbishop of YonK was introduced and sworn in a member, and took his seat at the Board accordingly. Yesterday her MAJESTY and Princess Er.tzanyrn honoured Lady CHARLOTTE FINCH with a morning visit.

In regard to unanimity and cordial co-operation it is sufficient to say, it was Sir Samuel Hood I had to act with ; and the object, the service of his country.— His ardent zeal communicated to all the same senti ments, and, the utmost unanimity prevailed. .had the fullest reason to be satisfied with the zeal and ardour of all the officers and troops under my orders. I have the honour to inclose the articles of capitu lation which have been agreed upon.
