GOTTENBURGH MAIL.

RIGA. OCT. 23.
According to authentic intelligence received
from Petersburgh, the treaty of commerce, con-
cluded in 1801, between Russia and Sweden, has
regained its full force; yet, with regard to ships'
papers, the Swedish ships are to be subjected to the
cline proceedings which are observed with respect
to other neutral vessels, namely, that they must
lie transmitted to Petersburgh, and examined
there, before they are unloaded, which takes
from 12 to 14 days. The papers which the ships
are bound to have on board, are the muster-roll,
measurement-bill and biel-brief ; and the bills of
lading, and certificate, of origin, mast be signed by
the Russian or French Consul ; or in places where
no such Consul resides, by the Magistrate of the
place. It is reported that the exportation of rye is
to be permitted exclusively from this port, but we
hare not yet received any official information on this
subject. According to the last accounts from re-
tershurgh, all sorts of cdlonial produce maintain
very high prices, while the course of exchange is
extremely low. Several ships have lately arrived
here under Swedish colours.-1 Stock/odes Commer-
cial Gazette, Nue. 14.)

STOCKHOLM, NOV. 13.
It is now publicly made known, that our inter-
course with England is to cease, according to the

in several other of the ins:Anne towns of Sweden,
th it our ports steroid be shut against all English
ships, on N'ednesd•ty the Itith instant ; and it is

came into the Channel; it may be therefore several
days before we 'heer from 'Lord Coi.r.tnnwoup.

infurituttion received by 'Government from Cadiz,
on which great reliuuee is placed, u evidence that
an Retina has taken place

" The Took,a fleet, consisting of 16 sr 17 sail of the line,
left the bsrbour of Toulon on the 91st and tjd of October,
haring under its protection a Meet of transports, amounting

parts were conveyed to a certain latitude by the whole fleet,
after which they were left to panne the remaining part of
their voyage, under the protection of three sail of the line
mid two frigates. The 'unitising part of the fleet having
shifted their rouse, had proceeded either toward% fly, or
no their retorts S. Toulon. Of the three sail of the line and
frigates, trio were burst, end the third escaped with the Pao-

PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 13.

OnWe:lnesdny arrived in this city. hie Excel-
lency Don Louts 1)i Osts, Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary from FECDINAND
VII. to the Ci:ited States, accompanied by his
suite. Also Don BARTIIoLoMEW RENtilit4ET.
Consul from Ilia CAIIIOLIC MAJESTY, for Phila-
delphia:

The detention of the Afriraine frigate, and oleo
that of the British packet at New-York, have ex-
cited mach speculation, and conjecture: We
,do
not doubt that it is the wish of the British Minister
to convey to Isis Government, the aentlitents and
daspasition of the American Government at this
particular juncture, and, we believe, thet, before
this day, Mr. SIIITII and Mr. JACKSON have had
some serious and impsirtant discussions. The time
has arrived when the two Governments should
come to explanations, that, in one way or the other,
may put an end to the doubts and uncertainties,
which have so long attended their relations. If
we look to the angry fulminations of The National
Irtelligre(rr, unsl the scurrilous invectives of
the Demote aim Papers, and particularly those
of theta which sire supposed to possess the con-
fi•lenee, Al they certainly do the patronage of
the Adinini,tration, we cannot in candour say,
that our hopes of any amicable adjustment are
sengwilie. It, unfortunately. the present attempt
at adjostreeiit should fail, we believe no other
will be made, and the consequence will b., what
has been so lout; desired by the democratic party
in this country, and a considerable putty in
tile ether. ‘Ve need othr no argument. or Miser-
relicts, to prose what are and have long been the
tiros of a vast majority of the democratic party in
this country. In Great Brit'.u, there has been •
powerful party, who have been at all times desirous
fur a war eith this country, composed chiefly of the
nary, the shipping iaterest generally. and more tvi r-
ticu holy the East and West-India interiests.—Op-
p.rsesl t• this party, hare been the army, the *hole
manufacturing interest, and theme interested ill the
American trade. These latter, exclusive of the int-
policy of war with this country, addressor:lllle Mier-
estsmid fears of the nation, and reasoning from what
they apprehended to themselves particularly, per-
haps over-rated the importance of oar commerce. In
these apprehensions. the West take Coloniespar-
took large ly. We are assuvrtd. by very imelligent
persons. who have recently visited &Hain, and by
others who have visited her West India Colonies,
that a great change has taken place, the number
of our friends have diminished, and the opprehen-
uns once existed, have ceased. .Those ar-
goinents which were OuCe with so much appearance
of reason 'Addressed to the apprehensions of the na-
tion, are now abandoned, or treated with contempt.
The manufacturers have diacoveren that our ember-
goes m.(l non-intereourses,did not ruin them,and the
tl'est-India Colonists have found that they slid not
starve. The latter hate been compelled to the Lite. of
means a hie), they did not know were in their pos-
scission. Commercial warfare, for that was the
kind of war waged, has always. the effect of draw-
ing forth resources. which nothing but necessity
could &scoter. Every person who had any know-
ledge, derived from personal observation, foresaw
and predict'd the consequences that would result
from the impolitic system of commercial restric-
tions adopted by the'ate administration. The ef-
fects upon ourselves were certain, upon the other
party, they were at least doubtful. There is,
however, a ?cry large proportion of the people of
England, who are averse to war with this coun-
try. and so we believe is the povernineut.—lii
making this assertion, we would not mean to
ascribe any great share of mnderation to the British
Coternmesit, but her interests are so manifestly
promoted by peace with the United States, that she
cannot. we should think, be brought to enter into
a war, if it can be avoids d. But if the irritations
which have exisdell so long, are um checked by ad
amicable adjustment, and that speedily, we believe
it will not be in the power of either government to
ret.train a temper which will not be liatitbed bet by
war. tau these considerations erefeel DO stscostates
