TORSION INTELLIGENCE, '1 er"-."'"'"--
GOTTENEURGH
oomitsuaos, NOV. 18.
Yesterday, the Tartants bomb put in here, hav-
ing on board the English Minister, Mr. Merry,
on his return to England. A cutter also put in,
with an English Cosrier, charged with dispatches
from St. Petersburgh for London. They were
forced in by a gale from the Westward. The
cutter arrived in thirteen days from Cronstadt, and
when she left it (November 4th) nothing new had
occurred. The Emperor had returned to St. Pe-
tersburgh, from a review of his troops. The French
General, Savory, was making a great figure there,
Attending the Emperor at all the parades, with a
numerous retinue, in splendid uniforms.
It is reported, from Copenhagen, that General
Peyman, and several others, have been put upon
their trials.

COPENHAGEN, NOV. 10.
Accordinr; to intelligence received from Sweden,
from a very rcspeaable quarter, His Royal Swedish
Majesty has concluded an armistice wit France,
until the Ist of April, and Marshal Brune is daily
expeasd in Helsingborg, to open negotiations for
peace. The English Envoy, Mr. l'i!o-repoint, is
said to be on the point of taking his departure for
England.—(Copeadogen Gazette, of Novemb,r 10.)
ELSINECR, NOY. 12.
Since the Bth instant, the Robbers have shut up
the Sound in such a manner that they da not allow
any Master of a merchant ship to go on shore and
pay toll. They compel all ships which enter or
sail out of the Sound, to stretch over to Helsing-
borg, and bring up under the guns of their ships.
The 10th, one of their frigates, which are lying of
Helsingborg, set sail from that station. She had
English soldiers on board, probably the High-
landers who were on board the Neptune, and put on
shore in the Isle of Hveen.--.(Copettheyen Gazette of
November 13.)

OOPENItA•EN, NOV. 11.
His Serene Highness Prince Frederick of Hesse,
has been appointed Governor of this Capital ; and
the Count Iltudissen Commandant of the troops

stationed here.
According to public notice, issued by the War
Department, no deserter, who is a native of Great
Britain, shall be suffered to enlist in the Danish
army, but be treated as a prisoner of war. H/110-
verians, however, may either enlist, or receive pass-
ports to return to their native country.
We learn from Aulborg, that the English have
stationed a ship near the light-house of Schagen,
which hoists every night a number of lanthorns, to
serve for a beacon to such of their ships as navigate
in that quarter.—(Cetenhagen Gautte of Noo.
srocauotat, NOV. 12.
His Royal Majesty has bees► graciously pleased
to allow Robert Dundas, a native of England, his
wife and lawful issue, to assume the title and armo-
rial bearings of the noble Swedish family of Setton,
and ordered them to be entered at the Herald's Of-
ice, in the list of the Swedish Nobility.—(Stvck-
holm Gasette, Nov. 12.)
iteitosavaou, Nov. G.
By a Royal Ordinance of the 23d of Oftober, the
exportation of timber from any part of the Danish
dominions has been prohibited ander pain of con-
fiscation of the timber, and a 6ne equal to the value
of the goods confiscated to be paid by all such per-
sons as shall be coovidted of having offended against
the above ordinance.— (Addle du Nord, Nov. 10.)
BANKS OF TOT MAINS, OCT. 24.

The fortress of Brannan 'was, in the middle of
Oftober, re-villualled by the French for three
months.

A letter from Vienna contains the following in-
telligence :--0" There are still some differences be.
tween the French Court and our's. Franco requires
the shutting of the Austrian ports against the Eng-
lish trade.

,s We understand that Braunau has again been re-
vianalled ; and that the French, according to every
appearance, will net evacuate Austrian Friuli so
soon as was expeetecl. The contributions levied for
the last war are not yet, it is said, entirely dis-
charged; and probably this has a conneftion with
the continuance of the occupation of Braunau."
ItiT, OCT. 17.
Since the English have begun to respell the
Austrian neutral ft tg more than they have hitherto
done, many vessels, with the produfts of the Le-
vant, such as oil, currants, and cotton, Arrive here,
and trade begins to revive. Several ships that had
been detained at Malta have likewise been released,
and have already arrived at 'Priest, name, and
Porto Re.
