Mr. GRIFFITHS wished, the Corot of Aldermen

Alderman SMITH apprehended that l'anim.

make innovations upon the rights on Jit,e, city: ha
therefore recommtnitled a decisive principle of at

LONDON,
MAY 2, 1817.

A Ilamhtirgh Mail arrived this morning The
accounts from Sweden contain no further details
respecting the conspiracy. The following are
Extracts from the Papers :

" STOCKHOLM, APRIL 15.---The energetic par.
pose of the Government to proceed further it►
improving the Course of Exchange, and for that
purpose, besides the strictest. measures against
itnuggling, to diminish, as far as possible, the im-
portation of unnecessary foreign articles, gives
reason,to expect soon a prohibition of the impor•
tation of Colee, an article which alone is equal to
(devours) neatly the half of the txportation• of
Swedish iron, since, according to the Custom-
house b6oks, there are imported annually, on an
average, 3,317,815 lb., without reckoning what is
muggled in on our long line of coast ; whereas
the value of wines imported is noted at about
150,000 dollars Hatuburgh Banco annually.
" The day before yesterday the" whole Wine
Merchants' Company had an .audience of the
Crown Prince, when Mr. Simian made an Address
to his Royal . Highness, in which he stated, that
the Wine Merchants were ready to cooperate in
any measure which his Majesty might choose to
adopt ; and that, as long as the prohibition lasted,
they would continue to sell without raising the
prices. (To this Speech his Royal. Highness re-
united the answer, which has been already coin-
municated.)

" Fnori TItE MAMEs Aram 20.—When her
Royal Highness the Princess of Wales erns at
Vienna, she wore, according to theTorkish custom,
a dagger at her side ; the attendants were dressed
in the oriental fashion.

" BRUIN, APRIL 22.--The King has appointed
the Master of the Household Von &hidden, the
,Chamberlain Count Lottunt,and the Countess
'il'suchsess, to accompany her Royal Highness the
Princess Charlotte to St. Petersburgh. Two other
Lathes, who are to attend her on the jonrney, are
tztit yet appointed: - The 'Grand Duke leaves us
next Monday.

" COARNHAGEN, APRIL 21.—Letters from St.
Thomas say, that the sugar crop has turned Out
very unfavourably, and that there are no hopes of
Obtaining more than 7or 8000 tons. Last year
the crop produced between 30 and 40,000 tons of
sugar.

. .
The low prices of tea here lay great diffieul-
ties in the Way of our East India Company, and
prevent it from undertaking profitable enterprises
to China. Congo Tea costs here, at this mo-
ment, something less than two-thirds of a specie
dollar per pound, a price under which the Com-
pany never can procure it iu times of peace.

" CADIZ,MARCU 10.--The number of insurgent
privateers increases continually, and interrupts
the trade of the Mother Country in various guar-
Ke s. The Spanish ship Emanuel, from Guati.

mala to Cadiz, lately tlfien, bad on board 800
,eroons of Indigo and 267,000 piastres."

Dutch and Flanders Mails came to hand at a
late hour to-day. The following are extracts
Tom the Papers :—.

" 13ausset,s, APRIL 30.—The last accounts
luau the North announce the arrival of several
Regiments in the neighbourhood of Stockholm,
ind the arrest of two Officers implicated in the
plot against the person of the PRINCE ROYAL'
For the rest, great tranquillity prevails in Swe-
den ; but yet people's milids are much agitated.
" Several French Officers who have just left
their own country have passed through thi, city
10 proceed to America, with the intention of going
to join the Independents of Mexico.

" According to the last news from Spain, the
number of persons arrested in consequence of the
Conspiracy of Barcelona is more considerable
than is stated by the Gazette of Madrid. Some
persons have been arrested also at Valencia. It
is pretended that the Liberates exiled to Fermen-
tara, a little desert island in the Mediterranean,
had found means to correspond with their par.
tizans on the coasts of the kingdoms of Valencia
and Catalonia, and that in coosequence of this
they have been removed from it, to be conveyed
to another place, the name of which is not yet
mentioned.

" We learn that IV. de Broglie, Bishop of
Ghent, is at this moment on his Way for Rome.
It is affirmed that this Prel•►te has the best founded
hopes of obtaining the Cardinal's hat, which
would terminate all the discussions that have
arisen in his diocese.

" It appears that the French Government in-
tends to increase the strength of its Army from
year to year, so that at the expiration of 5 years
it may be on the complete peace establishment, as
fixed by the Ordinance."

American Papers of one day later arrived this
morninv : the following is (ram the Charleston
City Gazette of the 14th of Match ;-_

" NORFOLK, MAacti 12.--{From St. Thomas.)—
We learn from a respectable source at St. Tho
mas, that just before the departure of the Media

nic, which arrived here from that Island on Friday
last, a Proclamation had been received there
from the High Admiral Bator', of the Venezue-
lean squadron, declaring La Ouayra, Guano,
Comma, Porto Cavell°, and, one other port of the
Main, under strict blockade. The Proclamation
even went so far as to declare all vessels hound
within three leagues of the Coast good prizes, in
consequence of which, all trade between St.
Thomas and the Main was completely cut off."

The Commissioners of the Sinking Fluid COM*
menced this day purchasing 125,000/. Stock' for
the first time, having hitherto only purchased
100,000/. ; they mean to continue purchasing the
former sum every Transfer Day.

It is said that the ATTORNEY GENERAL i$ to be
,c new Baron of the Exchequer. ,

TnE Ductless of GusucEsTP.n.:—lresterday be-
ing the return of Sir HENRY HALFoRn to wait on
the KING, he left London for Windsor. Dr.
BArwtr. was in consequence called in, and yes-
terday he' issued the following Bulletin :
" Tier 'Royal Highness the Duchess of Gtmucarren has
passed a disturbed night, but is better this morning.
" Gloucester House, May 1."

The Doctor then proceeded to the QUEEN and
PRINCE REGENT, to report the state of his Royal
Patient. About four o'clock he attended the Du-
chess again, when, we are happy to lento, her
Royal Highness was in less pain than in the
morning, and the fever abated.

The refusal of Lord 13AT►tuasT to stiffer an im-
portation of the Memoirs of fIooNAPARTR, written
by himself, does credit to his Lordship, for if the
mar► wrote a true account of his actions and mo.
fives, it must be a mass of enormities shocking
to humanity, and if otherwise, why should Great
Britain be the depository of falsehoods to deceive
the world ?

Yesterday, about one o'clock, her MAJESTY and
the Princess ELIZA,SETK took an airing over. ‘Stest-
minster Bridge by Clapham, and returned over
Battersea Bridge. The Princess ELIZABETH after.
wards went to visit the Duchess of GLoocesTea.
Yesterday the Duke of SUSSEX visited the
QUEEN and the Princess ELIZABETH.
Wednesday, after Prince LEOPOLD left the
Pansicz REGENT at Carhou-bouse, he proceeded
to the Queen's Palace to pay his respects to her
MAJESTY, and from thence to Gloucester-house,
His Serene Highness left town in the evening for
Clermont.

Yesterday tarlTnuasr had an audience of
the PIIINCH REGENT, at Carlton House.
The chief article in yesterday's American Papers
is a paragraph extracted from the Havannah Diary,
which states that the new Viceroy, AponAon, had
commenced his functions under very favourable
auspices, the Royalists having obtained no less
than six victories over the Independents in a very
short period.
The United States sloop of war Hornet, it is
said, is to bring Mr. ADAMS to this Country as
Ambassador, in the -room of Mr. JOHN QUINeY
ADAMS, the new Secretary of State.
