GOTTENBUROH MAIL.

A Mail arrived at a late hour last night, brought
to Harwich by the Prince of Wales packet, Captain
HARRISON.

By this packet several passengers arrived ; among
others, Mr. HALLIDAY, Mrs. POLLEN, and three ser-
vants, who were on board the ship in which Lord
Roysrow lost his life.

When the packet left Gottenburgh, Colonel MUR-
RAY, who was hourly expected with fresh orders from
London, had not arrived, and the troops were
still on board the transports. The Stockholm Ga-1
zette contains the articles of the Capitulation of
the Russians in the island of Gothland, which, in
certain instances, it appears, have not been faithfully
observed by the enemy. We are sorry to learn, that
some letters sent from Heligoland to Hamburgh have
been seized by the French, and the persons to whom
they were addressed arrested. It is also said, that
the men who were detected in landing them have
been executed, in pursuance of a recent decree of
BONAPARTE, by which any intercourse with England
and Sweden is made a capital offence.

The Captain of a vessel which arrived yesterday
from the Dutch coast, states, that it was generally
rumoured at the time of departure, which was on
the Ist instant, that the Prussians had revolted against
the French troops, and that the revolt had been parti-
cularly formidable at Berlin and Magdeburgh. From
the same source we learn, that vast numbers of French
troops had marched off towards the Rhine. The re-
duction of the French force in Prussia may have en•
couraged this insurrection, which is not likely, how.
ever, to have any very material result.
The American Ambassador has mat yet received
the dispatches which were reported to have reached
him a few mays ago. The only knowledge he has had
of their approach he received from the letter of the
Captain of the DRAGON to the Admiralty. This offi-
cer boarded the St. Michael when entering the port
of L'Orient, as we stated some days ago, and found
that she had two Messengers from the American
IGovernment, one for France, and the other for
England. The St. Michael is understood to have
sailed from America on the Ist or 2d of May,
with Mr. PURVIANCE and Mr. BAKER, two Govern-
ment Messengers, the former of whom was to bring
dispatches to the American Minister here, and the
latter to the American Minister at Paris. Both these
Messengers went into L'Orient with the St. Michael,
and no dispatches are expected by the American Mi-
nister for some weeks, at least until communication is
had with BONAPARTE, as it is understood to be neces-
sary, that his reply to the dispatches conveyed by Mr.
BAKER, should accompany those which are etApected
1 by Mr. PINCKNEY.

It is generally reported that the Bishop of HERE.
FORD will succeed to the See of Worcester, and that
the Bishop of Biuszot, will be translated to Hereford.
ETON MONTENI.—On Monday was the Triennial
Meeting, or Montem, of the young Gentlemen of Eton
School, previous to a number of them being elected
to College. Upon this occasion, as usual, they laid
the travellers and others in the neighbourood under
contribution, to make up a purse for those who are
going to College. Their performance at the School
was honoured with the presence of the Royal Family.
Her MAJESTY; the PRINCE of WALES, Princesses ELI-
Luaus and MARY, went in her Majesty's barouche
and four. In the first was the QUEEN, the PRINCE of
WALES, the Princess ELIZABETH ; in the second, Prin-
cess MARY and Ladies in Waiting, followed by the
Prince of Wales's barouche, with Earl MORTON, and
an Aide-du-Camp of the Prince's, to Eton College.
The Salt-Bearers were very elegantly attired in fancy
dresses. The young gentlemen were most of them
dressed in military uniforms. The Royal Family
alighted from their carriages, and went into the Col-
lege, where they remained upwards of an hour. At
one o'clock they returned to their carriages, and im-
mediately after the procession commenced through the
young gentlemen's play-fields to Salt-hilL Her MA-
JESTY'S carriage led the way. When the Scholars
arrived at the Mount on Salt-hill, an elegant flag was
waved by the Ensign, as a signal, and immediately
after an oration was delivered by the senior boy.—
They then retired to the Windmill Inn, at Salt-bill,
where a sumptuous dinner was provided for them by;
the Captain. At five o'clock they returned to the
College. The QUEEN, PRINCESSES, and PRINCE of
WALES, returned to the Palace to dinner. The
PRINCE returned to London in the evening.
