Cor2NOPGP.24,DEC. 18.—It is repotted by
_per-
sons who lett OottentruOt subsequent to the
Ilth instant.'that . the merchants. of that town,
since the declaration of war by Sweden against
Englapd, convey their goo;is and EtigLsti
chandize into the neighbouring clung-pAs, the
country-Boasts, and the environs at the city.
chiefly English manufactured goods that are taken
out of the warehouses of the India Coupaey, and
the Custoin•house depots, to be transported either
to'prit ate hen-es or other pi..ces in the town.
For these several days they have been employed
at the Custom-house, in opening a great number of
cases and bales containing manufactured articles,
fair the puriose of aviing out a' list of them anti
entering them at me Custorn7house.- The proprie-
tors and cons'gnees hope by these means to save
tile articles from being a questrated, as havritg paid
the duty, and become S vedish properl.y. Sevetet
merchants' 1,1, itir the same view have entered large
q'liutities of sugar and coffee. The Custom-house
readily connives Eit these practices. The manufac-
tures and articles belong: to the English Jnerchants,
and lave net'isiti,erto been enteret.l at the Custom-
house, because it was intended to re-export them.
All the hemp, flak, s tit-cloths, and tallow which
are in the warehouses of the town, and have been
exported troth the Baltic, are also the property 01
Ettgliilt merchants.
To thisday the Swedish; Government hat adopted
no other tneasure than tnaltmg a reques: to the mer-
chants of Gcttenburgh to meet the in igi,trates -on
the 3a inst. to make a decialatiutt of the property
belotigng to the English.
The merchants ,accordingly assetnblrd ,at, the
Town 'house on the day, apprErred, and unanimous-
ly dalaced they had tio. English property. Thus,
to this very moment. no measures have teen ordered
relative to the English 'commerce with which the
town, and environs are. leaded ; ;slid even several
vessels, which were in appearance prohibited from
entering the harVour, have unloaded iheireargues
into the establishments situa.:e in the Bay,
Gottenburgir and the environs are -yet, the
.only
phices in which there is British produce and inatiu-

tact ores.
