FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1809.

'We are highly gratified in finding, by a letter
brought from Carlscrona, by the Gottenburgh Mail,
that the Salsette Frigate, about which great appre-
hensions prevailed, arrived safe in that port on the
7th inst. Accounts were received•at the Admiralty
this day, confirming this agreeable intelligence,
Which was conveyed with the utmost celerity to
those who were chiefly interested in the fate of this
Vessel.

This morning a Gottenburgh Mail arrived, which
brings the following intelligence:—

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CARLSCRONA, DATED
MARCH 8, umg. -

" It is with great pleasure I acquaint you with
the safe arrival of his Majesty's Stiiplsette, for
which the utmost anxiety has been entertained. She
came into this Port yesterday, after having suffered
much by being so long in the ice : it is however
gratifying to hear, that although she has been in a
perilous situation for more than nine weeks, she has
only lost one .main, and there are only three others
On the sick list.-

STocxuot.m, MARCH 6.—lt was announce at
'Change publicly, on iatur►lay heat, that the Treaty
of Commerce betwee'n England au t. this coutstry
bad been signed, and that this place was to become
a free port.

Tile King's intended tour has been postponed for
the present.

GOTTENBURGII, MMICH icy.--Yesterday a large
link() Vessel, laden with corn, was driven into
Marstrand by contrary wind, and is said to be a very
valuable prize.

The canal which is now cutting through the ice,
to admit the Vesels which are frozen up to take
',their departure, will be completed within the limited
time; several Ships will in a ti:w days be in clear
water.

• His Majesty's Ships Tartar and Rose arrived yes-
terday in Fkernish
STacKnoLta, I\lA B.—No intelligence what-
ever has been rec►ved flora the army.

Srook.ttout, MAitcu 3.—Thc tbliovving Russian
Proclamation has been lately received here
‘, We, AmtlatinEft I. by the grace of God, Em-
peror and Self-Ruler of all the Russias, and Grand
Duke of Finland, &c. unto all our faithful vassals
and subjeas of the Grand Duchy of Finland, greeting.

As through the dispens.itions- of. Providence,
and the success of our arms, the Gland Duchy of
Finland has been for ever incorporated and united
with our Empire, the prosperity and Welfare of its
inhabitants becomes one of the principal objeas of
our imperial solicitude and care. 'Being convinced
that all the inhabitants of Finland will joyfully assist
us to attain that desirable end, we have accordingly
ordained, andy
do.hereby ordain, that agreeably the
peculiar constitution of that country, aGeneralAasem-
bly of tho States be held in the town of Borga,
on the t oth of March of this year, all the Deputies of
the States are therefore to meet thereiat that time, in
order to deliberate, in conformity with the Statutes
of the Empire,
,on such points as we shall point out
for their deliberation:

" Given in l'etersburgh, the 20th Jan. 18'09.

ALEXANDHA."

The chief Opposition Paper of this day states, that
two Austrian Gentlemen arrived yesterday in a Boat
from Middlebtirgh. We can aqiurq our Readers
that they are time two English Gentlemen'- who
er►reped flout Verdun, as we mentioned yesterday.
They do not, as reported, bring the Declaration of
War between Anktri'il and Fiance, nor has such De-
claration been received by Government.

THE contents of the French Papers which were
received in town last night, strongly manife.st the
hostile' feelings of BUQNAPARTE towards Austria,
and his determination to commencewar immediately,
unless the Emperor of Austria should submit to such
terms as will almost annihilate his political import-
ance in the scale of Nations, and render him con-
temptible in the.eyes of all mankind. The article
dated Vienna, the 15th ult. which states that AN-
DREOSSI, the French Ambassador to the Austrian
Court, hai obtained leave of absence, and that
he will employ .that interval in a visit to Paris,
is a strong mark of French subtlety, and the
probable truth is, that ANDREOSSI has been
wholly recalled, preparatory to the commence-
ment of hostilities on the part of France, and
'that it is stated as a mere temporary visit, for the
purpose of deceiving the Austrian Cabinet The
ridicule which the French Papers throw on the
Austrian Militia, -is another proof of the sentiments
,of • the• French Usurper ; but while he affeas to
despise the. Austrian Militia, as the interacted oppo-
nents .of the conquerors of Uhn and Marengo,
thus artfully reminding the Emperor, FeAtscts
of former triumphs of the French over the Aus-
trian armies, he cautiously refrains from tak-
ing any notice of the Regular Forces of Austria,
which, as we have before stated, are at present in
the most excellent condition. Indeed, it is slightly
mentioned, that several battalions of Croats are gone
to Buda, in Hungary, and Petau, a town of Lower
Styria, and that some, Regiments have been sent into
Moravia; but the general military strength and dis-
position of the Austrian Armies is prudently passed
over. Even the account wbich is given of the depre-
dations made by the wolves at the verygates of Vienna,
is most probably introduced for the purpose of throw-
ing contempt upon the state of Austria, in shewing
how little resistance can be expected against the
French, when the Austrian Cabinet has not vigour
enough to drive away a few wolves from the very
scat of Government. We arc then told of the de-
pression of the Public Funds at Vienna, in conse-
quence of the apprehension of war with France.
The assertion in the French Papers, that no negotia-
tion will take place between Russia and France, is
doubtless introduced with the view of inducing the
Germanic States to believe that Russia will maintain
her relations with France, and take no part
Austria, if a rupture should ensue. Tlus.Articla,.
dated Trieste, Feb. 18, confirms our statement on
Wednesday last, that the Austrian Army. was to be
put, on the war, establishment on the first of this
month. The orders, for that purpose, it appears,
were issued on the t etli of the preceding .montly
By the article dated Wisbadcn, Feb. 24, we are still
more strongly apprised of the determined spirit of
vengeance towards Austria, that prevails in the mind
of BUONAPARTE—for his submissive tool, the Prince
Primate, has • issued orders to the different States
which constitute the Confederations of the Rhine,
direaing all the vassal Princes to be. ready with their
contingents. They are told, by way of encouragement,
that the Spanish Armies are annihilated,and the Eq_
lish driven, with the loss of half their troops, &c. from
Spain, and that this triumph of theFrenchiarms.in that
country, and the movements of Austria, had occasioned
the-French Ruler to return to his capital, and, of
course, to have nothing to obstrua his designs against
the Emperor FRANCIS. , But the article dated Ham-
burgh, Feb. 22, is, if possible, more expressive of
the intentions of BUONAPARTE, whose deepest de-
signs are often veiled under the slightest cover-
ing. The sale of the publication at Vienna, con-
taining all the documents respeaing the infamous
manner in which the Royal Faccily of Spain were
entrapped by. the French Usurper, is mentioned, with
an observatiOn winch indeed cannot be mistaken,
viz. that such writings are never permitted to be
sold till a decisive part is taken respeaing those of
whom they treat, This remark shews that BUONA-
PARTE is determined to take a decisive part ; and it
is not likely-that he will ever forgive the Emperor
Faitatctsfor daring to tolerate such an exposure of
his artifice and villainy. Another article, dated
Paris,. March 4th, has the same tendency, depreci-
ating the resources of Austria, and ridiculing her
Cabinet.

The accounts which the French Papers contain
Of what is going forward at Madrid, shew. that Buo-
NAPARTa has resolved to secure Spain, by every
means' calculated to terrify the people into submis-
sion. A Criminal Junta has been formed and all
who presume to have any feelings of patriotism are,
upon any manifestation of those feelings, to undergo
the mockerylof a trial, and be consigned to the gibbet
within. 24 hours. Such are the means by which the
tyrant is to meliorate the condition of Spain,' while
the nations of the Continent quietly look on, and
suffer their troops to co-operate in the designs of
the Usurper, and thereby rivet their own chains ! !
