GOTTENBURGH MAIL.

Another mail arrived this morning. The principal
news brought by this conveyance relates to Turkey.
It is, to be sure, dark and ambiguous, but its import is
sufficiently obvious. The approaching Spring will
probably give form and consistency to the system in-
tended to be followed for annihilating the Turkish
power, and opening a communication through Persia
with India. At any period less eventful than the
present, underany leader less fortunate than NAPOLEON,
such a project would have deserved to be ranked with
the incongruous ravings of a lunatic : but plans not
less romantic, taking into the account his then com-
parative want of means, have already bee* realised by
this singularly fortunate soldier.

STOCKHOLM, DECEMBER 28.

Immediately after his Majesty arrived in this capi-
tal, there was issued the following

PROCLAMATI(r.

K We, Gusnivus ADOLPHUS; by the Grace of GOD
King of Sweden, &c. do hereby make known, that,
having under DIVINE PRovtowcz returned safe to this
Capital, we have thought proper to ordain, that the
functions of the Regency, which we had appointed
during our absence, shall cease.
,4 In further confirmation of this public Notice, we
have personally signed the same, and ordered our
Royal Seal to be affixed thereto.

COPENHAGEN, DEC. 26.

Letters from Cronstadt state, that 16 sail of the
line and 125 gun-boats are lying in the port of that
city. We learn from Cassel that the celebrated castle,
near that city, formerly called Williams-height, has
now received the name of Napoleons-height.
The diplomatic corps at the Court of Holland is
gone from the Hague to Utrecht.
The French army in Dalmatia seems destined for
very important operations. Some are of opinion that
it is to occupy the Turkish provinces, but according
to others it is to march through Constantinople and
Egypt to Bengal.
Letters from Hanover inform us, that the kingdom
of Westphalia is divided into the following depar►.
ments :-Ist. The department of the Fulda, includ-
ing Lower Hesse and Paderborn ; 2d, The depart-
ment of the Weser, containing Minden, Ravensberg,
&c. ; 34, The department of the Vezze, comprizing
Upper Hesse, &c. ; 4th, The department of the Seine,
including Gottingen, &c. ; sth, The Harz depart-
ment, composed of the principality of Grubenhagen,
and the Upper Harz ; 6th, The upper department,
containing Hillerhems, Elze, Schoningen, Goslas and
several other towns and districts, which formerly be-
longed to the Duchy of Brunswick ; 7th, The Saulde
department, including the principalities of Halberstadt
and Blankenburg, &c. ;, and Bth, The department of
Eichsfield, containing the principalities of Eichsfield,
&c. &c.

This account corroborates the report that Turreau
had demanded of our Government to shut its ports
against Great Britain.
The Act prohibiting the importation from Great
Britain, of certain Goods, Wares, and Merchandize,
goes into operation this day.

44 The House of Representatives were yesterday se-

dent, understood out of doors to relate to our affairs
with Great Britain. Nothing is suffered to transpire;
but it is believed that there is no ground for new I
alarm. I know at least one Members who had formed'
an opinion before the dispatches came to hand, that
as matters now stood, if we should have war, it would
be our own fault ; and I am happy to assure you, that
his opinion, instead of being weakened by the die-
• patches, has been completely confirmed."
