Ontnno, AUG. 4.—The idea of a French General
being appointed heir to the, Crown, appeAred t,o ex-
travagant, that I not even mention the natne,of
General BERNADOTTE, whom rumour had pointed
out as a competitor for that exalted dignity ;
but it-would really appear that serious intentions
have been 'entertained on this subject ; and as
a proof, I refer you to the Stockholm Papers,
which contain a Very flattering account of that oth-•
cer. The panegyric ha 3 been copied 'MO one of our
Papers of ttiis day, Which I inclose : but whether
the point Will be carried -in his favour remains to
be seen.. The Danish Minister who follawed upon
the heels of the dispatChes'which announced his So-
vereign's intention of offering Wins& as a toinpeti-
tor, was obtained by order Of the Diet at Arboga
he wa:t; however, subsequently allowed to- proceed
wherehe. was permitted to jemain‘ but a few
bouts.

GOTTENEURG, AUG,* 6.—The appointment .Of
M. DE RANCHOUP as French Consul, and' that of
_Mr; W. littoVVN as Danksh Consul at this place, as
been publicly announced by order, of Covernment.
The former is expected -here in the course of a leyv
days. :
STOCKHOLM, AUG. 3.—Lettets from Paris state,
that the following nntiCe lately appeared in several
French neVispaperi:—
" American ships frequently make thoir appear-
ance in the NOrtb Seas and the Baltic, furnished
with pretended certitiCatesul origin, of French Con-
suls we have official authority to state Chit the
said Certificates are forged, and that. the holder's or
bearers thereof are guilty of forgery. The said pi-
pers 'are evidently fabricated in England, for his.
Majesty's Consuls ceasetTlong ago to grant similar.
certificates." ,

The Newspaper published in Orebro, where the
Diet is assembled, has of late been filled with cur.
sory remarks on the Jife of Marshal BERNADOTTE,
Prince of Ponte Cory°, tending to show, that he is
not only one of the nl.ost eminent warriors, but also
one of the wisest politicians of our age. At the
siege of Gradison,where BERNADOTTE exposed him-
self with unco.timon firmness to the utmost danger,
the writer observes, the present King of Naples
served under his orders.--(Stocaohn Post.)

Extra& of a Letter from Canton, dated Novem-
ber 23, 1809 :—t wrote you bj • the Sylph, giving
a short account of our situation here as far as rest efts
the pirates, %chose increasing number and power
has made the Province tremble for the existence of.
Canton and its dependencies ; they returned up 'the
river after I wrote you, and committed more horrid
depredations than ever, and remained- until the inha-
bitants bought their peace. with tht-in, at ;be ex-
pence of a very heavy contribution, both in money
and provisions :—during all this time. the Govern-
ment have confessed themselves unable . to raise
troops to expel, or even attempt to face them ; they
(the Government) made some °vent:fres to the Eng-
lish for an equipment to be made by Capt. AUSTIN,
and even invited him and ,the Navy Captains into
the citY, to .plan the armament but the Viceroy
took the alarm while. they were waiting for him at
the Flaopoo's house, and' sent an excuse, apologis.
in for his non-appearance, on account of a dispatch
he had just received from Court., This was a false-
hood, but has been accounted for by an express he
had received from HEONY 511/q7,• advising him that
the GoVernment of "Macon petitioned to be employ.-
ed on this service, and offering six ships armed, and
at the moderate freight of 3000 tales per month
-each ; this was 'so contrary to what he would have
been okliged to comply with in order to induce the
English to assist them,• that the petition of the Por-
tuguese was graciously acceded to, and they are,now
gone out to attack the foe; but 1 tear will make a
bad business of it, a report having reached, town
that the Pirates have made four of the ships retire to
Macna.

" The peopie—or-thetuultincl of Ely are to be
ransomed for 7,500 dour,_ and flags of twee are
agreed on to prpteot the boat that goes for them.
The Mercury, was bought by the Canton Go-
vernment, but they can make no good use of her tor
want ol men; the same is the case with a brig that
is fitting out under the orders and to be commanded
by Captain MAGF.E; the equipment•of the Portu-
guese is -so far good, that it would give us a tempo-
rary respite—and if dry, do not succeed in over-
coming the Pirates; this. GovernMent will then be
convinced they have no other alternative left but
applying in a proper manner to the English ; had
no equipment of ships taken place, I know not
what 'would have become of, us and all our pro-
perty."

captain NORTHERN, Of the 82d Foot,' we are
sorry to state, was killed, about a month ago, whilst
on guard in the garriston of Gibraltar, by 'falling over
the ramparts there. •
