j Extract of a Letter from St. Petersburg the 18th
44Uary, 1810:
i; In a former letter I mentioned that the Swe-
ils,n peace was likely to add 500 sail of neutral ves-
-444 to the Baltic trade I now find not only that
dtttQrl nuy be made, but that fl'ool 4 to 500 more
now on the stocks, upon the Sver about Peters-
Natva, arsd in the ports of the Gulf of Fin-
-47,11 There are two large vessels Wilding at Oehta,
it is understood that it is mostly wood for the
4itltish Government that is going into them ; from
v., these circumstances, I look upon it freigkts will be
'IT low in comparison to last year."
In addition to the above information, we tinder-
thalld there are from forty to fifty ;hips of large bur-
now building•at Archangel, with a view, it is
qt . to be employed in the trade of Great Britain-,
confidence
licenses. We have, .however, too strong a
!Ifidence ip the attachment of Government to
ttiltish interests to suppose. they will allow the sys-
Ct 4., of licenses to be carried to such an extant ; for
'ependent of the political advantages which Will
3. derived by France and its dependent states, from
Cell an encoeragement of.their mercantile shipping,
itY the increase of their seamen, &c. the depression
create on some of the leading interests of the
„-;untry will be such as to create alarm in the minds
f the most indifferent and inattentive to subjeas of
'45 importance.

yesterday a Court of Direaors was held at the
' t4st India House, when Captain R. JouNsoi was
t urdtotethe coruttutnd of the ship &be, con-
