" We, GUSTAVUS ADOLPHITS, by tbe,Grace of
God King of Sweden, of the Goths qnd

Vandals; Ste. unto All our true anti loyal
Stibjeas, greeting :
We herewith graciously make known to you tbat,•?
his Majesty the King of Prussia has declared to,us,
that all kin,i of intercourse hetW9en his dominions
And Sweden is suspended, -and that in consequence
thereof all trade and navigation to Swedish ports is
prohibited under severe penalties,; 4nd that, further,.
411 Prussian harbours are shut up against all Swedish
Ships. .

This proceeding has not by any means been oc-
'taloned on'our part; the said Government, reduced
by French tyranny, affords a 'fresh proof of the op.
pression to which all States must submit that pre
Serve any connedion with the French Government.:
An untbrtunate lassitude, which prevented Prussia
'frprn,resisting ip due time, has prought her to the
distressed situation in -which she is now placed.--
groaning under the domination of France, which
still occupies a considerable part of the remains of
that Monarchy with 'a numerous army, notwith-
latanclintt the conclusion of Peace.
commend you all and severally to the merci-
ful protection of Almighty God. •

The Cartel, whose unsnccessful voyage, to Mor-

By Letters from the Coast we are informed, that
16 persons, who lately attempted to leave aDutch
port in a small Sloop, under the pretext of sailing
taking the shore for their pleasure, but who really in-
-tended to come to this country,
.Were arrested on
board the vessel. The Master of the sloop has also
been thrown into prison, and it is believed will be
severely punished., From the same source we learn,
that,several merchants in Paris; who have negoeiated
Bills onErtgland, or otberw ise communicated with this
country, hnve,-by au express order from BuoNA-

the influence he has obtained in Russia.
A letter from
.Edinburgh, dated Saturday last,
ITYII--" Since Saturday last we have had a succes-
sion of snow storms ; and the weather has been ex-
ceedingly boisterous and cold for such an advanced
season of the year. In this neighbourhood' the snow
disappears in a few hours, except on the hills : in
some parts of the country, we understand, it. lies
so deep as to interrupt the communication. The .
Aberdeen Mail Coach was stopped on Tuesday
morning, about four miles to the, northward of
Montrose ; the Mail was forwarded by a Post-chaise.

bintm PAPERS*:

LEGEORN, MARCH 2.--Hitherto no intelligence

has been received of the Rochefort Squadron, corn-
,,,manded. by Rear-Admiral ALLMAD. We, only,
'knoVi that it consists,of six Ships of the Line,. seve-
ral Frigates, and light Ships. The Madrid Pape is
say, that the Spanish Squadron in the port of Cadiz,
.under the command of Admiral ArODACA, has re-
hred orders to unite itself with the French Squa-
Cdrotilmder Admiral RosILLY. • The Spanish Squa-
dron is In full readiness to Rut tosea on the first op-
portunity, and is victualled for dime months. The;
Danish merchant Ships which were here have been
partly sold, and the remainder will continue iu our
j, port till the return of peace with England,

FRONTIERS of TURKEY, MARCA B.—According

tci accounts from Constantinople, received by way of
large quantities of cotton and coffee
'fiiVeYrrived in that capital from Arabia, that the
. .

pticeicnidst soon fall greatly in those European
countries that. border Upon Turkey. A letter from
Smyrna,. dated the efith of January, contains the
folloWing information : " For some time past arti-
elea. of merChandize from Germany have' been re-
ceived here by the caravans from European Turkey.
These caravans have passed with little or no trouble
through the ditlerent bodies of light troops dispersed
in the several provinces of the Ottoman Enipire.—
Our port is blockaded by the'English ; put, not-
withstanding, vessels .loaded with provisions, from
tl 4: neighbouring countries, arrive here from time to ,
time. The castle which defends the entrance of the•
port , is in such a state 'of strength, that it is ',very
improbable the, enemy will make any attempt
upon it.".
BANKS OF THE MAINE, MARCH 14.--4tl the Ger-
man Papers we read an article, dated the sth of
March; containing. the following inforrnatlon
The negociations between the CoUrts of France
and Austria have been very brisk for some time past,
from whence it is concluded, that affairs of the last
importance are at present under discussion. The
Ambassadors of France and Russia, at Vienna' have
frequent conferences with one another. In the
southern ports of Russia great preparations are mak-
ing ; they are fitting. out there a great number of
Shipsia the Line and Frigates, and the Fleet of
Sebastopol, in the Crimea, v.,i1l sail as soon as the
season permits.. It is supposed, that, in consequence
of the interpositiou of tt great Power, they will pass
the Dardanelles, in order to attack the English Fleet
there, and probably to unite With the French and
Spanish Fleets, for the purpose ,of executing on im-
porthnt enterpize." •

Ire,:itel-day we received some Spanish' Gazettes,
from. which we have translated the folloWing very
important
