LONDON : • TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1810. Tars morning arrived 3 Gottenburah Mail, bringing German papers down to the 7th instant. They contain some interesting intelligence. One article, if correct, is of the deepest importance ; aril must afflict every humane and honourable mind. It is *stated, in a letter from Copenhagen, that the English Government have,demanded from that of Sweden, the " cession of Gothland, and the SURRENDT:RINO of the SWEDISH FLEET INTO THE STANDS OF ENGLAND." We trust this intel ligence Is utterly unfounded. No deed committed during our contest with France hag so much wounded the Nation's' honour, and afflicted her with consequent evils, as the seizure of the Copen. hagen fleet. Europe beheld that with an indignation that instantaneously stampt the name of 81.101.1511- MAN with characters ,which it must long wear, and which, from pity to 1 deluded many, we are unwilling to repeat. But is this scene of horror to be repeated against Sweden ? And is the little po. lice that committed such horrors fur no use—that incurred the excess of guilt for no benefit to did Criminal--is this again to prevail ? Surely, there• is sense and virtue enough in the nation to prevent this, by petitions to. the Soverttrosr t to save the countzy f rom such disgrace and injury. His MA •.J.PTY would not turf a.deaf car to the voice of ssi frivolo People, pleading,• not, for themselves . volt, but fur his own honour, for the safety of 'Mg, own House, and for mercy also, on a *pall "and defenceless nation ? His MaJcsvir, is deceived and betrayed by those around: his. laet the Nation, by one unanimous voice of- Ps . inrr9.v„ save him from his weak and .nnfortonate ounsellors. Thu Parliament, fortunately, has 'pile opportunity, before it is prorogued, .to wake 'rote inquiry of Ministers respecting the Inals or 4atsehood of the report from Coparthageo, ant% no doubt, Mr. WHITBREAD, or or he is absent) some other friend to humanity, justice, and small policy, will endeavour to extort some contagion or denial from Ministers on - this most important subject. It would seem from a projected marriage between the daughter of. LUCIEN BONAIPARTE and the late CROWN PRINCE of SWEDEN, 'VIC. tioned by the French FAinnes, that LUcIEN may yet again appear upon the political scene of his Brothei's future projects. This has , indeed been suggested befure.—A change is rumoured in the Risssiau Cabinet, prejudicial to the French interest. • A Rostov* is, in town, said to be derived from I,irerpool, of a general engagement having taken place between Lard Watztscrrox and the French under Marshal Nlasszna. Thu battle is said to have lasted two days, and not to. have brew con. eluded. There can be scarcely any doubt of the approach of •rary importint transactions in that quarter; but this accuunt is as yet unauthenticated. We understand that a Swedish Decree has been issued, throwing still greater obstructions in the . way of commerce than before existed. It is now required that the log-hook of every vessel enter. leg a Swedish port shall be verified by the solemn oath of the master, the mate, and three mariners uf the crew, • Wi the teen' favoured with some information by • fl , Cotlensen who left Buenos Ayres on the .17th .of March.

THE STAIWMAN. - A conference had been held on the subject of cences at Paris, at which the Ministers of the Ma rine, of Finance, and of the Interior, assisted. The result of the consultation ,was, that the export of corn should be prohibited throughout the range of ports from Bourdeaus to the northern isztremity of Holland, and orders hire been giwco' accordingly. This arrangement is grounded not ott the•assigned maximum in the price, which most have been Jocul and temporary in its operation, but on the general principle of policy, that grain should not he exported, unless the major part of the cargo of the ship consist of wines and brandy of the country. YESsannsor a Mail arrived from the Leeward Islands by the Duke of Kent packet, after a voyage of thitty days. A letter front an °Seer on board the Sceptre, in that neighbourhood, men tions thu pre►alence of a bilious fever, which has in several situations proved fatal to those who ' were afflicted by it, so as to oeeasiott serious libtrt. WE have seen a statement in some of the Morn ing Papers, of a Resolution respecting Major DODD, panted, as it is said, by his brother officers of the Artillery. .We should suppose there is some mistake in this. Wu have always looked upon the Gentlemen of the Artillery with pecu. liar respect, for the good sense, the propriety, and the honour of their conduct and feelings ; and we 'can scarcely believe the• could now have acted in the manlier stated in the paragraph.. olluded to. Is it possible that Coneyean hart acted upon the unsupported assertions . of Mrs. ; tLARILZ ? We have met with no person of intelligence who has done so; and cannot therefore platmeeyconfidence in the paragraph. Major DODD has been al►eady enough sacrificed, and ought the less to hive been se t a. he has been backward in defending himself, obit of delicacy to others. We understand, Lord POLKSITO Ns sent a letter to Major DODD, similar to that written by his Lordship to Colonel WAR. DLZ, which the Major forebore to publish, taking that to Colonel WARDLE to be sufficient to the.• vindication of his honour, and being unwilling further to wound Lord FOLILIWEUNE'S feelings. On this subject, however, we need not, at pre sent, go any further. But there is ono fart %Web, in another point of- view, is very import. ant, as it is a circumstance strongly preiing the correctness and integrity of Major Dono's answers to the queries stated in the' Duke of KENT'S Declaration—it is, thSt Major Donn was suddenly andpnexpectedly called 'twits tb answer the queriji; and therefore could speak from no premeditation, had he been capable of that. This subject is peculiarly important and interesting, and therefore we shall. not MI to throw every light we CAP upon it at all times. . , . - We call the attention of pus Readers, particu. July. to 'Speech of Lord A istiooos, Its the lions.. of,Pbgri, tit the year TM, on e,Miition *add by him to•discharge Mr. Plaices, Printer of the Advertiser, out of the custody of the Gentleman 'Asher of the Black Rod. It contains the w hole caw and REASON of Privilege ; and it is an , answer, a complete answer, to all the sophistry of venal men, or arrogance of honest, but de_ ceiveJ men. If, however, it cannot convince the House of Commons, it will strengthen the People in the pursuit of their rights and privi !ego. -- . - Notice has been 'given. to such persons u may be inclined to bid for the next lottery, that they are to attend on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to-morrow, to receive his proposals.
