His Majesty, wi!lung 'to -gift more weight and ef-
fect to the provlslOtis respecting the blockade of
England, issued on the Bth Instant die following Ca-
binet Order, addressed to his Minister Of 'Finance, and
rendering hint responsible for the strict execution of it
" All'vessels, without distinction, which shall hate been visited
by an English ship, or brought into an English harbour, &c. or
paid to the English Government any impost in any way Whatever,
shalt be considered as English property, and declared good prizes,
in case they should have been taken by our ships of war or pri-
vateers."
Today the King has issued the following decree,
respecting the relation in which this country stands to
Sweden :
Louis NAPOLLON' &C. &C.
" Information having been given us, that the orders concerning
the blockade of the British Islands have not been executed in the
same manner in respect to some Swedish vessels, and taking into
consideration that the kingdism is as much at war with Sweden as
with England, have decreed and do 'decree-
1. Every Swedish ship which enters into this kingdom, shall
be instantly seized, and, as well as Swedish goods, sequestared,
it. All Swedish subjects who shall have hitherto etercised with-
in this kingdom any diplomatic function, or served as Consul or
COmmercial Agent, and who still fill the same functions, shall
leave the kingdom instantly on the publication of the present
decree.
S. AB Swedish subjects who may be in our harbours, or in any
other part of our kingdom, shell'be instantly arrested, and treated
as prisoners of war.
4. All measures which are now taken respecting the blockade of
the British Islands, shall in like manner, without distinction, be
applied to. Sweden.
5. Out Ministers-of Finance, and of Justice and Police, are
charged with the execution of the present decree," &c.
LEGHORN, DEC. 26.
All the towns and provinces of the former kingdom
of Etruria have now taken the oath of allegiance to
the Emperor and King Napoleon. The Etrurian
troops are gone into Upper Italy, and in their stead
a numerous garrison is arrived here. The numerous
towers along our sea coast, which served the inhabi-
tants as a protection against the Barbary rovers, have
been in like manner occupied by the French, and put
into a better state of defence. In our fort, which pro-
t .ts the town and the harbour, preparations have
¶ten made to receive the English with red hot balls,
whenever they may venture to attack us. Within a
short time, sonic frigates will be set upon the stocks.

BERLIN, ]AN. 6.

By a Royal Mandate, dated the Bth of December,
his Majesty has commanded, that the payment of the
debts incurred in the provinces of East Prussia and
Lithuania, during the war, shall be made in bonds
to the city of Kimingsberg ; bdt they are na to
amount to more than 3,700,000 crowns. These bonds
are tO be secured by an income-tax. The proprietors
of these bonds are guaranteed for their capital and
interest by the King and his successors.

We stated lately, that the remains of Lord ALEX-
ANDER GORDON received every mark of respect in
passing through Aberdeen, from the Magistracy, mi-
litary, and inhabitants of that city ; and upon entering
the property of his noble father, on Monday the 18th
instant, were met by the friends and tenantry of his
Grace, who accompanied them to Gordon Castle,
where they lay in state during the night.—On the
following morning, an immense assemblage of mourn-
ful spectators appeared in front of the Castle • and as
soon as the Noblemen and Gentlemen of the adjoining
country had arrived, the whole moved in solemn pro-
cession to the burial place of the family, in the Old
Cathedral at Elgin. The funeral service was per-
formed in the most affecting manner by the Rev.
Mr. BUCHAN. It is unnecessary to attempt to describe
what were the feelings at this moment of the illustrious
Duke his father, and of his noble brother the Marquisl
of HUNTLY, as well as of all those who witnessed thel
awful scene. Major-General lel•Dorraen, command-
ing the Northern District, not only -paid the highest
respect to the memory of this young military Noble-
man at Aberdeen, but accompanied the funeral to
Elgin, where he had previously ordered a detach-1
ment of 200 men of the 42d, or Royal Highlanders,',
the Marquis of HUNTLY'S regiment, with the volun-
teers of the county. The former marched from. Fort
George, and paid the last military honours over the
body of the young and much-lamented Nobleman,
who had just entered the 23d year.
Wednesday we stated that advices had been received
in town by the last Mail from the Leeward Islands,
of a very desperate action having been fought to the
windward of Barbadoes, between his Majesty's brig
curieux, of 18 guns, commanded by Captain SHER-
Rivr, and a large French ship privateer, 0f•26 guns
and 250 men ; and that Captain Sn ERRIFF was =fortu-
nately killed, and 22 of his men, nearly a third of his
crew, either killed or wounded.
In Captain &plums the service has been deprived
of a most excellent and valuable officer, and his fa-
inily and friends have to mourn the loss of a truly
good young man. As an officer, he was highly scien-
tific, and. most thoroughly acquainted with every
duty of a Seaman and a Commander. As a Midship.
man us the Chatham tender, commanded by Lieute-
nant, now Captain Broughton, he accompanied Cap-
tain Vancouver in his voyage of discovery round the
globe, and was, upon his return home, promoted to
the rank of Lieutenant, in which capacity he served
for some years in the West Indies, and afterwards
*Commanded the Archer gun-brigs for two or three
years off Boulogne, in which service he, upon several
occasions, displayed equal spirit and intelligence.—
From the observatiuns which he had made in his fre-
quent visits to the. very mouth of that harbour, he had
formed a plan fete burning .the flotilla there, and it
was a part of that plan that he himself should lead
in the fire-ships and rafts to be employed cm that dais-
emits but feasible enterprize.
Upon Lord Melville's retiring from the .offioe of
First Lord of the Admiralty, he slid not forget to
*commend the merits of Captain Sn ER4tiFF to his truly
aespectahle successor, and Lord Barham was pleased,
soon after his entrance into office, to promote Lieute-
nant SHERRIVF do the command of the Curieux. That
ship sailed for the West Indies last spring, with. a con-
voy, and has ever since been an active cruizer in those
seas.
' Captain Suenerre's prospects were of the most flat-
tering kind, as his merits as an officer had not escaped
the observation of the Commander in Chief in that
quarter ; but these it has pleased DIVINE PROVIDENCE
to extinguish by a glorious death in the cause of his
country. He has W. tan amiable widow and an in-
fant son, to lament their deprivation of their best
friend and natural protector.

The Visitor of Sidney College having declared the
election of Professor WoLLASTON to the Mastership of
that Society to be void, notice was given, that on
Monday the 25th, the Fellows would proceed upon a
frcsh election ; but the Visitor sent an injunction to
stay proceedings.
A lay fellowship is now vacant inDowning College;
it is open to all graduates in arts, physic, or civil law,
under the age of twenty-four, either of this University
or Oxford. The election will be in Easter week,
after an examination in all subjects of academical
learning.
The annual prize of 3,000 livres, founded by Bo-
NAPARTE, for the best experiment made in the course
of the year on the Galvanic Fluid, has been decreed
to Mr. Davy, Member of the Royal Society of Lon-
don, in consequence of his Memoir on the Chemical
Action of Electricity.

The success of Spilsbury's Patent Antiscorbutic
Drops, in Scrophulous and Eruptive Diseases, may
perhaps be explained by its removing any injurious
matter that obstructs the action of the absorbent
glands ; for it is a fact, in all cases in which the me-
dicine has been most successful, the discharge at first
is much increased, (if eruptive more violent) till the
matter advances to health, in colour and consistency,
with an improved state of the appetite. Even this is
the case in elderly people, who from want of vigour,
have frequent ulcerations on the extremities. The
effects of the,medicine on Scurvy, Gout, and Rheu-
matism are well known. It is requested you will ask
for the Patent Antiscorbutic Drops, with a black ink
stamp, in bottles of .ss. 6d. double bottles 10s. and
larger Is. 2s. duty included. An allowance on .taking
• half a dozen.
