Sweden and Norway,

The official Posts2idning of the 6th inst. contains
the subjoined explanatory letter from Count von
Manderstrom, the Swedish Minister for Foreign

Affairs ;

A correspondence from Copenhagen, dated the
2nd inst., and published in yesterday's Aftonblad,
contains the following passages :
Amongst the documents which the President of
the Ministers read yesterday at a private sitting of
the members of the Council of State was a despatch
from Count Scheel Plessen, at Stockholm, dated
July 10, wherein it was announced that Count.
Manderstrom had instructed him that the kingdom
of Sweden and Norway could no longer consider
itself bound by its promise to afford assistance to
Denmark in case England or France should decline
to come to her support. We hope this despatch, which
among other matters is calculated to justify the
Ministry, and further to depress the National
Liberals, rests on a misunderstanding on the
part of Count Plessen similar to those laid to
his charge in the previous month, when he reported
to the Danish Government that Sweden and Nora
way opposed the Apenrade and Hoye line at the
Conference, and would in consequence take the peel-
tion of an enemy to Denmark, which, as it is well
known, is not the case !
The correspondent is very ill-informed. I have
never said a thing which can bear this signification.
Nor does the despatch of Count von Scheel•Plessen
of July 10.—which the Minister named has kindly
communicated to rue this day—either contain these
words or a corresponding signification, and nothing
occurred in the conversation which daily passed be-
tween us that could give him reason to entertain
such an idea, which, also, he declares he never did
entertain. The protocols published respecting the
London Conference indicate the views of the repre.
sentative of his Majesty; but with regard to the
report said to have emanated from Count von Scheel-
Plessen, that Sweden and Norway would oppose a
boundary line drawn from Apenrade to Hoye, the
Danish Minister assures me that no such view was
contained in any despatches sent by him to his
Government. I have deemed it a duty to make this
statement in respect of public opinion, and also in
respect of a distinguished foreign Minister who could
not personally represent himself here.

Stockholm, Aug. 6, 1864.

The American Blockade,

The steamer Falcon, from the Clyde, atWilming-
ton. Nassau, New Providence, July 5. Arrived,
the steamer Coquette, Carter, Wilmington, North
Carolina (cleared, 6th, for St. John's, New Bruns-
wick ?) July 25. By a sloop from Harbour Island
we learn that the Florida has taken and burnt two
more vessels—a whaler and a trader. The names are
not given: The crews were put on board of a
schooner and carried to the island. The steamer
Stag, in ballast, arrived on the 22d. On the 21st the
8CU"'""- Pahercl. with An ..eeeted cargo, cleared
for Havannah. On the 22a the Will-o'-the wisp,
with an assorted cargo, cleared for St. John, New
Brunswick. On the 23d the steamer G. T. Watson,
with an assorted cargo, cleared for the same port.
There has been no arrival from the South during the
past week. There is not much cotton hero, owing
to the fow arrivals. Philadelphia, July 27.—The
steamer Bermuda, from the West Gulf squadron,
reports the destruction of the blockade runner M..
tagorda, off Galveston, by the United States steamer
Kanawha. The Matagorda had a cargo of 700
bales of cotton.. Greenock, August 11.—The
blockade runners are now as " thick as leaves in
Vallambrosa'' in the river. sad eearcely a day
passes but one or t;;,o are seen cruising about
at the tail of the bank, prior to a trial of speed
betw,:eu the light, or crossing to Gareloch for
the adjustment of their compassed. They
are invariably very handsome vessels, superior
in size and model to our finest river steamers,
which they out-rival in swiftness. Yesterday the
three' funnelled steamer Condor, built and engined
by Messrs. Randolph, Elder, and Co., left East
Harbour with a large and valuable assorted cargo
for a pleasure sail, and was to leave last night for
her destination. The steamers Charlotte, built by
Messrs. Denny Brothers, and engined by Messrs.
Napier, and Stormy Petrel, built and
engined by
Messrs. Henderson, Renfrew, were hovering about
the river during the day, trying their engines. The
Co.,isman, built by Messrs. Scott and ... and en-
gined by the Greenock Foundry Company, is about
to undergo another test of her steaming powers.
The amount of capital represented by blockade
runners, built and building at present on the Clyde,
must be very large.

The Earl and Countess of Yarborough left
Brocklesby, Lincolnshire, a few days since, on a visit to the
Earl and Countess of Eglinton, at Eglinton Castle, Ar-
drossan, Ayrshire, Scotland.
