We hive nothing fresh. here to communicate ; - you know elm* of the ,step the Government bas bees forced to take againit English ships, namely, to shut the Swedish ports. Several ..of the first merchants have applied to the King, its order to know whether the packets are to proceed to Got • teuburgh. as heretofore. The answer they received was; that, as the English packets were not ships of war. or merchantrueu, and are prohibited from tak ing on board any thing but passengers, their lug gage. and the mail, they alone have a right to put into a Swedish port, provided such port be situated abo►e Landscrona. However, some think that Russia will reuionstrate against this proceeding. —You can hardly imagine bow dull every person is here : few frequent the public places of amuse ment.. and livery one seems to be absorbed in ..thoughts about the new King. The Prince of Augustenburg, arready elected, mid who accepted of the Crown on the event of a pence, is expected here.—A d..put'atien of tight Members of the Diet, and a long suite of the principal Officers of the Court, are setting out to receive him at Gotten burgh, and troops are ordered to be at that place to pay him military bonen:v.—General Baron Adlersparre is to proceed to Norway, to the Prince, ■nd to iuforni him of the preparations. On the other hand, hie Excellency Count Ruth, Senator of the Kingdom, Count Delogardie, Colonel of the King's Body Gnard, and the tint(' Nobleman in rank ; Admiral Baron Stedinck, brother to the Ambassador at St. Petersburg'', have deduct] ' them.elves in favour of the accession of the son of Gustavus. It is cenfidently reported that the Eno peror Alexantle! (though in s ane of the t or. ticks of the Treaty of Peace he stipulates not to in terfere in the internal government of Sweden), covertly favours the election of the son of Gusta vus. and, with the circa of making the Queen of Gustavus, who is Alexander's sister.iu.law. more sl sae sire ;—if this party should succeed, it is thought that the answer given by Prince Angusteaburg, with respect to the words, " when " ever a peace shall take place."- will be con strued to menu a General Peace in Europe, and that he will receive an indemnification for the artifice practised upon him. The demands of Denmark having been received, and amongst others, two millions of rig-dollars, for the fleet the English took, • verbal explanation became indispensable ; after much preliminary discus sion. the Danes agreed to send their Ambas sador.

Chevalier Adlerbergl a was ordered to repair thither, and Woolly set out on his joura asy ; but informatiat being received that the De sists A•sh•aeador had just left Copenhagen, the etiquette of the Court obliged Chevalier Arlin-berg to stop half way, so that the two Ambassadors should .arrive at Jonkopieg at nearly the same time. An inventory is making of all the property belonging to the late King Gustavus Adolphus. in order to ascertain this sum which should be allowed him for msintena•ce.

The Congress, for negociating a peace be tween Denmark and Sweden, commenced its sit tings at Jonkoping on the 10th. The Prince of AVOUSTENOCIGH was expected at Gottenburgh, to make some flintier arrangements respecting his succession to the throne of Swedes. The follnivii.g Circula► Lette► has been sent to the Members of the House of Commons, supposed to be in the interest of Mintstcrs : " Downing-streetittov. to.

" hare the honour to be, " Sir, " Your most faithful sad obedient Sexist, "SPLSCER pEacevAL.- A notice of this kind is not new, but it is rather uunsual to send it so long before the day of trial. —When the great distance of time, until the meeting of Parliament, an interval of nearly two months, is considered, we cannot conceive how positive end satisfactory answers can be expected. Many, who are' disposed to obey the call, may net be able to auswer fur the possession of the means, at so remote a time. Others, who are not actually heuod to the Minister, and are influenced by measures, not men, may complain that they are in darkness, and must have some light before they can make up their minds. Marquis Watt.tster, it is true, is arrived; but those who think he can work miracles may wish to see him completely is office, before they declare themselves. We cannot be persuaded these is a man of common sense, in society, who, left to the free exercise of his judgment, would support ths Cabinet from which Mr. CANNING and Lord Cori EREAGH have been removed. Mr. Peace- Wit admitted its total debility and incapacity, by his application to Lords Gatuvitt.x and GILET. Surely, turn, before he issued his circular letter, he ought to hare shewn to the world, the substitutes whom he had prodded in the place of these noble men.-4le should leave completed his new Cabinet, and exhibited his plan in full activity, both with regard to men and measures, and. then he might have fairly sail, " here is my system, if you Mile to support it, ypu must 'be in your plaice in the House of Commons. on the 234 of January next." But - to call upon men now to declare themselves, is to invite them t 6 walk in the dark, to pledge themselves to Ministers and measures not within their contemplation. Under these cir cumstaaces we consider the circular letter of Mr. PERCSVAL as premature, and a proof of the anx iety of his mind, and of his fears for his perma nence in office. We trust we maybe allowed to hope that in the event of the answers proving unfavour able, he %sill hose sufficient. feeling for his country, to induce him to throw up his brief. and descend from an emineuce to winch he never should have aspired. . _ Though the Marquis WELI.XSr.£Ir has not set been furinelly invested with the seals of the Fo reign Departmont, in consequence of His MA* n9ll' not having held a Levee on Wednesday, we uniltr.tand the I\ oLle Marquis attends every day at the i• areign ()dice, and transits business. a Court of Directors was held at th., Fast-India Douse, when the undermentioned Cap tains were sworn Into the confound of their re spective ship*. via.--Capfaaa WILLIAM FASZYAR, Hugh Inglis, and CHARLES GRAHAM, Willi•ins Pitt., for Madras and Beugal.-..The Court adjourned, at six o'clock, till Tuesday next.
