There is a -report in circilation, that letters have
been received from Paris of the 13th inst. mention._
ink that Buonaprte had issued a Decree for.:
,
sequestrating all the property belonging to-Berna.
dotte, within the French territory, on the ground
of his not having fulfilled his engagements, to pro-
cure the unreserved accession of Sweden to the
Continental System.
The Letters by the Anholt Mail, which reached.
town on Monday, mention a circumstance which
is certainly of considerable importance. The
French Consul, it Gottenburgh, is said to have
directed that all Letters from 'England, ad-
dressed to any of his Swedish Majesty's subjects,.
should, previous to delivery, be submitted to his
inspectiOti. This order was rejected, and imme,
diately after a deputation of merchants waited on the
French Consul, and informed him, that so jealous.
was every Swedish subject of any infringement
on their established liberties, that his (the Consul's).
life was not worth 24- hours purchase, .should he
persist in a right to search into their correspond-
ence, by breaking the seals of their letters. On
this representation, . the intended plan was abat.4.,:
dotted.
We received Friday some letters . from Swit.
zerland 'of the 19th of last month ; they state that
the Burning Decrees had not been yet carried into
execution in that country ; the supposed English
goods
.were still under sequestration ; but . the
people having manifested a disposition to resist, an.
express had been sent to Paris to receive fresh in-
structions frcm the French Government. But al-
though a considerable time had elapsed, no answer
had yet been recei \ ed. BUOIAPARTE probably
thinks that in the subjugation of Spainshis troops
will find sufficient employment, and is unwilling to
excite to insurrection, just now, a people who ma
not have forgotten the exaniple of their farefathen.
The following extract of a letter, from Rio Ja.
neiro, contains information which may prove high
useful to the Captains of our merchant vessels.
trading to the Brazils :

Rio de Janeiro, Dec. 14..
The Portuguese government has lately establisl4ed a Qua.
rantine-Office in this port, and has appointed that part of the
harbour between Fort Santa Cruz and the DU de Valegalhao
fur altships entering to come too, and wait for the visit boat.
In consequence of this regulation not being generally known*
the fort on Vallegalhao has often tired on vessels with ban, fur
not bringing too, when the first signal gun has been fired for
that purpose. The charge brought by the Commandant of the
fort on these occasions is most extravagant, to say nothing t
the danger which the vessels run of being struck by the shot.
Masters of vessels should bring too, about half-way betVreex..
Fort Santa Cruz and the Ilba de Vallegalhao, and there
fur the Health boat, before proceeding further up the harbour.
Our readers will perceive with pleasure, on refea
rence to our Parliament Report of.ThUrsdayinithti
. fe •
that the Prince Regent has magnanimousls,, anl.
patriotica'ly, declined the proposed provision of -11
or 16,0001. conceived by Ministers to'be tecestary.
to enable his Royal Highness to mantain'the
nity of his high situation. r • •
