TO THE CIVIL GOVERNOR OF LIVONIA AND ACTING

COUNSELLOR OF STATE REPIEL.

On the 5111 of this month, a Treaty of eternal
Peace between Russia and Sweden was concluded,
signed at Fredericksham, by our Minister Plenipo-
tentiary Count Romanzow, and Baron Stedink on
the part of Sweden.
All the propositions by us made, with regard to
the said Peace, have been accepted, and the incor-
poration of the Grand Duchy of Finland with the
Russian Empire has been confirmed. The town of
Tot neo and the river of . the same name form the
frontiers of the two States. • •
Thus has a war been ended, the various events of
which have covered the Russian armies with immortal
glory, and the termination whereof has added to the
Russian Empire a country, inhabited by an industri-
ous people, celebrated on account of its progress in
agriculture, its markets, important fortifications,
and the fortress of Sweaburgit, which has been en-
larged, and has secured for ever on that side the
frontiers of our native land.

While we are offering up our thanks to that
Divine Being which has vouchsafed to favour Russia,
and crown her arms with success, we hasten to
acquaint you with this fortunate event, feeling per-
fectly satisfied, that all our faithful subjects will join
us in Offering up thanks to the Most High, for the
happy conclusion of a much wished-for Peace.
For the rest, after the ratifications shall have
been exchanged, the Treaty of Peace will be pub-
licly made known by a distinCt Manifesto. I re-
main your affettionate, &c.
(Signed)
St. Pefersburgh, Sept. 7, 1809.

ALEXANDER.

We are authorized to contradict an article in THE
SVN of Monday last, copied from a Morning Print
of Saturday, which stated, that Mr. SOANE (+he
Architc(i), of Lincoln's Inn-fields, had been com-
mitted, at the Bow-street Office, for being a party
in the riots at Covent-Goden Theatre cn Friday

night. Mr. SoANE,has never been in Covent-Gar-
den Theatre, before or since its opening. It may,
however, be proper to add, that he left town on the
Friday morning at seven o'clock, for Mr. THORN-
TON'S, near Biggleswade; from thence he went to
Whitby A)bey, the seat of Lord HOOD, and did not
return to London till late on Tuesday. We have
been thus particular, that the puniic may be und(gr
no mistake respecting Mr. SUANE j but all who

know that Gentleman could not for a moment sup-
pose that he had any concern in such proceedings.
Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India
House, for the eleCtion of a Director, in the room of

JOHN ikiAVER3, Esq. deceased. At six o'clock the
glasses were finally closed, and delivered to the Scru-
tineers, who reported the numbers to be in favour of

Tile Bath and West of England Agricultural So-
ciety have published a Report on the important sub-
ject of Wool, in which they say, " It is with the

greatest satisfaction that they are able to state,
what has clearly appeared to a large majority of
their Members, who have investigated the subje&,
that Wool grown in Great Britain is equally fit for
all the purposes of the manufaCture with the best
which can be imported from Spain or other coun-
tries. More especially they have, for two or more
successive years, found that Wool from a cross be-
tween the original Merino Ram, and Ryeland Ewes,
and from their posterity, variously intermixed, for
several generatiens, without any further recurrence
to the pure breed, has in every instance in which
the trial has been made, produced cloth and cassi-
mir, finer than those manufaCtured from the mo,it
noted Spanish .piles for the exnress purpose of
competition. As, however, doubts still remain
widely extended amongst persons most immediately
interestedin the decision, the Bath and West of
England Society, in order to put this question to a
trial from which there can be no appeal, have offered
a premium of eight guineas to the grower, ,and ten
guineas to the manufeeturer of the finest piece of
navy Blue Broad Cloth, dyed in the wool, not less
than twenty-fire yards in length, which shall be
exhibited on Monday, the t Bth of, December,
180 g, made from any clothing Nvo.DI from the
sheep tribe, grown in any country, ;•ind also pre-
miums of six and tout guit:eas to the grower and
manufatturer of a piece of Uniforin White Casi-
mir, not less than 25 yards in length.
A most distressing ace.ideett happened in the poor-
house, at Liverpool, on Wednesday last. A fine
boy, about nine years of age, was playing near a
man who was doing some work with a pitch-fork in
his hind, and having given him some offence, the
man most inhumanly ran after the boy and ran the
fork into his back with such force, that it passed
through his heart and came out at his breast.
The poor child lingered about twelve hours, and
then died in great agony. The man was imme-
diately taken into custody, and will be committed
for trial.

The Public have for some time past shown an
eagerness to have four Tickets of a Number, _which
the Office-Keepers could not deliver, °wing to a
regulation in the Bank, not to let. the Tickets in
Class.D be issued, until those in A, B, and C, were
disposed of. The Bank, within these few days,
h-uun issuing the Tickets to theOffice-Keepers
in Class D; thererore Ladies or Gentler-13,n as
choose to have two, three, or . four Tickets of -a
Number, may be supplied in great variety, at ' the
Old Established Offices of T. Bisa, 4, Cornhill,
and g, Charing-Cross, till this night.
