The advices from Embden, referring to intelli-

Merchants had been thrown into the utmost embar-
ras•tnenr and confusion, in consequence of a requi-
sition by the Fiend' agenis thyre, that the crgoes,
or the value, of the cargoes, of ail American vessels
which have reached the ports of Holland since 1809,
should be delivered up to Government, whether re-
mittances had been made to the proprietors for the
amount or otherwise.

It is again stated, that the late King of SWEDEN
is under 131 itish proteMion, and the i'ollowing account
' of his escape is given in letters from Heligoland, re-
received yesterday
" At•Polanger the Prussian guard was dismissed;
it not being permitted to them to encroach on the
Imperial territory. From thence his Majesty pro-
ceeded to Riga, a distance of about forty miles, and
having arrived, sent a courier to the Emperor At.sx-;
ANDER,- who returned with a respectful message,
intimating, hoWever, at the same lime, that the
Ex-King must quit the Russian dominions. Soon
afterwards GUSTA.VLIS contrived to died his escape
by a vessel from the harbour, and entered on board
a British ship of war. Au unsuccessful attempt to
assassinate him was made, of which a very obscare
account is given.
" Previous to his' Majesty's departure,' he had
been under great embarrassment from pecuniary.
difficulties:
" From-Stockholm, under date of .the gth ult. it
is stated, that the last of the Swedes who had corn;
posed the suite of Count GorToaP, viz. his Physi-
cian, his Chaplain, and his .Equerry, had quitted
him, and returned to the capital." •
