THE SUN. souoi guts !Herne FAI,SUM AUDEAT LONDON, MAY 2, 1817. A Ilamhtirgh Mail arrived this morning The accounts from Sweden contain no further details respecting the conspiracy. The following are Extracts from the Papers : " STOCKHOLM, APRIL 15.---The energetic par. pose of the Government to proceed further it► improving the Course of Exchange, and for that purpose, besides the strictest. measures against itnuggling, to diminish, as far as possible, the im portation of unnec e ssary foreign articles, gives reason,to expect soon a prohibition of the impor• tation of Colee, an article which alone is equal to (devours) neatly the half of the txportation• of Swedish iron, since, according to the Custom house b6oks, there are imported annually, on an average, 3,317,815 lb., without reckoning what is muggled in on our long line of coast ; whereas the value of wines imported is noted at about 150,000 dollars Hatuburgh Banco annually. " The day before yesterday the" whole Wine Merchants' Company had an .audience of the Crown Prince, when Mr. Simian made an Address to his Royal . Highness, in which he stated, that the Wine Merchants were ready to cooperate in any measure which his Majesty might choose to adopt ; and that, as long as the prohibition lasted, they would continue to sell without raising the prices. (To this Speech his Royal. Highness re united the answer, which has been already coin municated.) " Fnori TItE MAMEs Aram 20.—When her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales erns at Vienna, she wore, according to theTorkish custom, a dagger at her side ; the attendants were dressed in the oriental fashion. " BRUIN, APRIL 22.--The King has appointed the Master of the Household Von &hidden, the ,Chamberlain Count Lottunt,and the Countess 'il'suchsess, to accompany her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte to St. Petersburgh. Two other Lathes, who are to attend her on the jonrney, are tztit yet appointed: - The 'Grand Duke leaves us next Monday. " COARNHAGEN, APRIL 21.—Letters from St. Thomas say, that the sugar crop has turned Out very unfavourably, and that there are no hopes of Obtaining more than 7or 8000 tons. Last year the crop produced between 30 and 40,000 tons of sugar. . . The low prices of tea here lay great diffieul ties in the Way of our East India Company, and prevent it from undertaking profitable enterprises to China. Congo Tea costs here, at this mo ment, something less than two-thirds of a specie dollar per pound, a price under which the Com pany never can procure it iu times of peace. " CADIZ,MARCU 10.--The number of insurgent privateers increases continually, and interrupts the trade of the Mother Country in various guar- Ke s. The Spanish ship Emanuel, from Guati. mala to Cadiz, lately tlfien , bad on board 800 , eroons of Indigo and 267,000 piastres." Dutch and Flanders Mails came to hand at a late hour to-day. The following are extracts Tom the Papers :—. " 13ausset,s, APRIL 30.—The last accounts luau the North announce the arrival of several Regiments in the neighbourhood of Stockholm, ind the arrest of two Officers implicated in the plot against the person of the PRINCE ROYAL' For the rest, great tranquillity prevails in Swe den ; but yet people's milids are much agitated. " Several French Officers who have just left their own country have passed through thi, city 10 proceed to America, with the intention of going to join the Independents of Mexico. " According to the last news from Spain, the number of persons arrested in consequence of the Conspiracy of Barcelona is more considerable than is stated by the Gazette of Madrid. Some persons have been arrested also at Valencia. It is pretended that the Liberates exiled to Fermen tara, a little desert island in the Mediterranean, had found means to correspond with their par. tizans on the coasts of the kingdoms of Valencia and Catalonia, and that in coosequence of this they have been removed from it, to be conveyed to another place, the name of which is not yet mentioned. " We learn that IV. de Broglie, Bishop of Ghent, is at this moment on his Way for Rome. It is affirmed that this Prel•►te has the best founded hopes of obtaining the Cardinal's hat, which would terminate all the discussions that have arisen in his diocese. " It appears that the French Government in tends to increase the strength of its Army from year to year, so that at the expiration of 5 years it may be on the complete peace establishment, as fixed by the Ordinance." American Papers of one day later arrived this morninv : the following is (ram the Charleston City Gazette of the 14th of Match ;-_ " NORFOLK, MAacti 12.--{From St. Thomas.) — We learn from a respectable source at St. Tho mas, that just before the departure of the Media nic, which arrived here from that Island on Friday last, a Proclamation had been received there from the High Admiral Bator', of the Venezue lean squadron, declaring La Ouayra, Guano, Comma, Porto Cavell°, and, one other port of the Main, under strict blockade. The Proclamation even went so far as to declare all vessels hound within three leagues of the Coast good prizes, in consequence of which, all trade between St. Thom a s and the Main was completely cut off." The Commissioners of the Sinking Fluid COM* menced this day purchasing 125,000/. Stock' for the first time, having hitherto only purchased 100,000/. ; they mean to continue purchasing the former sum every Transfer Day. It is said that the ATTORNEY GENERAL i$ to be ,c new Baron of the Exchequer. , TnE Ductless of GusucEsTP.n.:—lresterd a y be ing the return of Sir HENRY HALFoRn to wait on the KING, he left London for Windsor. Dr. BArwtr. was in consequence called in , and yes terday he' issued the following Bulletin : " Tier 'Royal Highness the Duchess of Gtmucarren has passed a disturbed night, but is better this morning. " Gloucester House, May 1." The Doctor then proceeded to the QUEEN and PRINCE REGENT, to report the state of his Royal Patient. About four o'clock he attended the Du chess again, when, we are happy to lento, her Royal Highness was in less pain than in the morning, and the fever abated. The refusal of Lord 13AT►tuasT to stiffer an im portation of the Memoirs of fIooNAPARTR, written by himself, does credit to his Lordship, for if the mar► wrote a true account of his actions and mo. fives, it must be a mass of enormities shocking to humanit y, and if otherwise, why should Great Britain be the depository of falsehoods to deceive the world ? Yesterday, about one o'clock, her MAJESTY and the Princess ELIZA,SETK took an airing over. ‘Stest minster Bridge by Clapham, and returned over Battersea Bridge. The Princess ELIZABETH after. wards went to visit the Duchess of GLoocesTea. Yesterday the Duke of SUSSEX visited the QUEEN and the Princess ELIZABETH. Wednesday, after Prince LEOPOLD left the Pansicz REGENT at Carhou-bouse, he proceeded to the Queen's Palace to pay his respects to her MAJESTY, and from thence to Gloucester-house, His Serene Highness left town in the evening for Clermont. Yesterday tarlTnuasr had an audience of the PIIINCH REGENT, at Carlton House. The chief article in yesterday's American Papers is a paragraph extracted from the Havannah Diary, which states that the new Viceroy, AponAon, had commenced his functions under very favourable auspices, the Royalists having obtained no less than six victories over the Independents in a very short period. The United States sloop of war Hornet, it is said, is to bring Mr. ADAMS to this Country a s Ambassador, in the -room of Mr. JOHN QUINeY ADAMS, the new Secretary of State. 51.1 I i' The Princess Charlotte packet, Capt.

The following, among other subscriptions, were also announced :—the.PRINCE REGENT, Patron of the Society, 2101. the Duke of SussEx, 20 guineas. MAY PAIn.---From the riotous proceedings which Invariably take place at this Fair, herd on Lisson Green, on the Ist of May, the Magistrates, at the request of the principal ink4hitants of that neigh bourhood, issued an order yesterday, forbidding its continuance.; which produced the desired effect. Sir ROBER T Kett ['oarEa, whose talents as an artist were of the first-rate order, is so highly in favour with the Emperor of Russ's, that it is said he Js soon to be sent on a Mission from the Russian Government to the Court of Persia. If a set of Napoleon medals was sold in this country at the rate of 2501., we trust that a set of national medals, recording the triumphs of British heroism, and the overthrow of the Tyrant of Europe, will not be lower in general estimation. - The Lady who is called " the richest Heiress in the Kingdom," is the Honourable Miss Et- PIIINSTONE MERCER, the daughter of Lord Karr --her fortune is six thousand a year in her own right, in addition to which she may inherit 30 ,0001., a year from her Noble rather. The extraordinary splendour of the plan'et Venus during the month of April, Which she will like wise exhibit in the month of June, has fixed the attention of those who study the appearances of the heavenly bodies. This planet 'displays the same brightness every nineteen months : but she will this year present a phenomenon much more rare and curious ; for, from the 18th to the 22d ,of this instant (May), both days inclusive, she will appear both as the mornin g and the star, risin g a few minutes before the sun evening , and setting about the saute time after him.
