The two Cottenburgh -Mails that were ene arrived last
eight. So late as the 20th inst. our Expedition still re-
mained at Gottenburgh, waiting the return ot. General Sir
J. ;gooier,. from steckholin, whither he had repaired to
arrange a, plan of co-operation with his Svvcdish Majesty.
in the mean time, a formidable Swedish army, supposed to
be not less than 20,000 men, was assembling in Scuola, and
it was reported that a joint attack was intended lobe made
on the Island of Zealand. Nothing important has recently
occurred either Finland or in Norway ;it is merely re-
ported, that a detachment of 600 Swedes was lately sur-
rounded by the Norwegians, and made prisoners. The
Swedish fleet sailed from Carlscrona on the 3d inst. and
eontinues to cruize in the Baltic. The Danish gun-boats
are at present very numerous, and will require an increased
activity on the part of our cruizers. They have captured
twenty-two vessels belonging to a convoy bound from
Malmo to the Baltic, of which fourteen were Swedes, be-
sides an English gun-brig, which, after an obstinate mist-
alive, was compelled to yield to superior force. Five of
the captured merchantmen have been destroyed.

A letter from Vienna, dated June 8, says, 44 that the ex-
change of Couriers with the first Courts of Europe is very
frequent. Ou the 14111 a great conference NVZIS to he held,
at which the Archdukes are to preside, and all the Gover-
nors of the Hereditary dominions are to be present. On
the 7th the Archduke-
Joe departed from Vienna unex-
pectedly ; it is supposed he is gone to the Emperor. The
late events in Spain apd the Papa! Dominions have caused
a strong censation, and rite : occasion to many/ secret con-
ferences among the Ministers of the different Courts resid-
ing at Vienna." 1::•oin the events that have occurred we
may expect shortly; to hear that Bonaparte's secret em;it:es
am in motiou to effect some revolution in the Austrian
dominions.

Two Foreign Journals, tliT3 r.-Ate de Tranre and the
Joarnal de l'Em pi re of the 1 fllt inst. havp been received ;
they contain the important information of MU RAT having
ordered that the ships belonging to the United States of
America, which were detained ns the Ports of Spain, on
the ground of their having been visited by the English,
should he set free. This information is extremely interest-
ing to commerce, for the recent arrival of American ships
from France and Holland, render it probable that the mea-
sure is not confined to Spain, but applies generally to all
the enemy's Ports.

Ikiai's from New York and Halifax arrived on Friday by
the Princess Mary Packet. She left the latter place oe
the Ist instant, at which time his 'Majesty's sh p observa-
teur had arrived with the intelligence of six sail of Irem.::-
men of war having reached St. Augustin (Florida), and
landed 4500 men. The ships of war are not stated to he
of the line, and cannot therefore lie the Rochefort Squad-
ron. The whole may prove a misinformation, a ship hav-
ing arrived at Londonderry, which sailed from New York
on the 28th of May, bringing letters, none of which Men•

continued to be rigidly enforced. St. Augustin, of which
