FRIDAY, SEPTV.MBF.R 14, 184.

Two Gottenburgh Mails arrived this morning,
but the intelligence they bring has been almost all
anticipated by the liamburgh Mails and the French
Papers. The last accounts which had been received at
Gottenburgh from St. Petersburg!' stated) that great
preparations were making for a grand Review before
the EMPEROR, of Goioon choice Troops.

The intelligence which we yesterday exclusively
communicated to the Public, of an Embargo baying
been laid upon.. the Swedili Ships in the. French
Ports (though no Official account has been received),
came to us from a quarter which induces us to place
the greatest reliance upon it. Of the fart of the
Russian Minister having quitted Paris there
does not now appear to be any doubt ; and though
no positive information has reached us of the
Swedish Minister having followed his example, we
think it very probable that such an event has taken
place. We shall wait with impatience fur the ar.
rival of the next Mails from the Continent, as
they most probably will bring some important in.
telligence respeaing the movement of the French
Armies.—lf Hostilities should aCtually commence
between Rtissii,'''gweden, and France, we have
little doubt but that Denmark will'be forced into the
Contest, however disposed she might be to remain
neutral. The threat which BONAPARTE has thrown
out,
,of his determination to seize the Dutchy of
Holstein, we have no duubt he will carry into ext.
cution the moment he finds War unavoidable; for
• the possession of it would afford the French so many
advantages, that the mere circumstance .of its be.
longing to a Neutral Power would be but a poor
security from French Aggression.

that this Plan has been sent to be examined before a

Sir HOME PortiAM, according toour Letters from
Dover, has been trying his telegraphic signals with
Admiral Lou Is's Fleet, off Dungeness, and mes.
sages were delivered from Boulogne to Dungeness, '
in eleven 'ninnies ; they can be conveyed from 800.,
logne to the Downs in the same time; and as this:
is only the first trial, all the Officers were of opi,
nion that they might be conveyed in five minutes,
and e.very movement of the Enemy made known ;
therefore, taking up the information at Deal by•the
fixed telegraph, it can be known in London in a
quarter of an hour, when the fine green and gold
barges come out of 'Boulogne Harbour, which are
intended to convey the Etalsertok. These signals
have been long ago established by the East India
Company. Sir Home VOriIASA has night signals
equally communicative; which are nearly complete,
and it is thought that he will try them soon in the
same place. • .

Several Gun.boats were out from Boulogne and
Calais yesterday, and some firing was heard towards
evening ; but the weather was too hazy to tlistin.
guish objeas clearly. Nothing particular has oc.
curred today, and the haziness on the French
Coast continues.

Half past Five, ,P. M.—l have just learned that
a person is arrived here from Deal, who brings
intelligence that several French Gun-boats were
found behind the Godwin Sands, early this
morning, full of Soldiers, who had escaped
in the night from the Boulogne Flotilla, ow-
ing, it is said, to the shortness of Provisions,
they being entirely in a state of starvation, being
allowed but 41d. pet day, and so much harassed
about, embarking and debarking alt day long to
make them used to it, that they are as thin as a
lanthern.

P. S. From the great number which is said to
have stolen from Boulogne in the night (between
40 and so), I think little credit can be given to the
