HAMBURGH MAIL,

COPENHAGEN, OCT. 1. It is confirmed that
Prince. Christian Frederick will 'soon arrive, here
on board the brig ,Bornhf)lnt, Capt. Kaas.
orway becomes every day more tranquil. T
N he
inhabitants are, particularly pleased with the tassur-
:wee of the King, of Sweden, that their laws and
other internal institutions, to which the ?..:Opve...
gians are much attached,- shall remain unaltered.
By, this means Sweden will have in future, in.
Nprway, a faithful province. .
HAmDtrEcn, Our. 3.-7-it is confirmed that Mar-
slut.l Nee, and other persons of rank, applied on
the. sth September to the-King in favour ofMar-
shal Davoust. The King seemed to yield, and
to
be dispoied to grant the Marshal an audience.--,
linow not what difficulties have arisen, hut
he has not yet been admitted to see his Majesty.
He therefore wrote lately again to the King,, but
no answer has yet
,been, returne.d to his letter,
which is no good sign for him.

HAMEL' IA Gil , OCT. 3.—The Gazette Universe!,
under •the,head of Faris, September 2Q, contains
the f0110.,v1'04. article :—" The people here 'have

is universaPy reproached with having bee.ni in the.
first instance, the cause of the violent proceedings
of-King Ferdinand in Sp;ain. By order of the
English 'Government, he advised. hint .not to ac:-

step led to others., the consequences of which are
daily -accelerated; by the influence of• the Monks.,
Already Ferdinand has wished to retract. s The
imprisoned Members have been offered their, li-
berty ; but, they demanded a formal trial. The
Court is in the greatest embarrassment. The
Pope, whose firmness, was admired, even by his
perecutors, while hc was at Fontainblean; has

ceeded to re-etablish the:Jesuits and to persecute

SEIMJIIP. AND STOPPAGE Or DISP:TCAIES.

311 e foljowityg singular circumstance took ph.ce•
on Satiirday :—On the hi rival of.the Dover
at PtocheSter on its Way to town., the guard
was unexpectedly aad peremptorily called upon
by SHARP, -the Custom-house,. Otlici:r, to de-
liver up an otliciaiparcel in his Tare, addressed to
the Right Hon. Lord CASTLEREAGH,
to be from his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON.
'this the Guard ‘vitil much fear and icluetance
complied with ; it was instantl::7...opened,, and
found, instead of important dispatches, to' cwitain
small valuable packages Of contraband ,articles,
addressed to ilistinguishedtpersous in this country-.
The reader cannot for a moment suppose our il-
lustrious
.Duke, or the /Secretary of State,' to
whom the false dispatches were addressed, could
in any %ray whatever have any knowledge of this
curious contrivance. We' recollect
,during' the
Short peace of Amiens, a seizure nelog made iht-,
inediately on the Mail's arrival at the General
Post 01-ice of a box of lace, in vliich' case the
%coach and, horses were seized; and- conveyed to
the Excise Office.
