Several of the private letters received yesterday
from Gottenburgh, speak of the continued favourable
inclination of the Swedish Government towards this
country ; and with respect to the packets, one
these contains the following information :--44 Several
of the first merchants have applied to the KING, in.
order to know whether the packets are to proceed to
Gottenburgh, as heretofore ? The answer they re.
ceived was, that as the English packets were not
ships of war, or merchantmen, and are prohibited
from taking on board any thing but passengers, their
luggage, and the mail, they alone have a right to
put into a Swedish port, provided such port be situa-
ted above Landscrona. However, some think that
Russia will remonstrate against this proceeding.
It remains to be seen also whether NAPOLEON will
not enter his veto !

Letters from Cadiz of the 15th ult. speak in un-
disguised terms of the imbecility and mismanagement
of the Spanish Ministry, and to the difficulties with
which any contract is fulfilled by them, even for the
supply of arms, of the deficiency of which complaints
have been made to our Government, and Messenger
after Messenger has been dispatched to implore the
assistance and liberality of this country to relieve
them under such an urgent necessity. By the same
authority we learn, that notwithstanding the large
quantity of- treasure they have drawn from So❑th
America, they are still deficient in money, and appli-
cation has been made to the Merchants of Cadiz, to
obtain a million of dollars to answer the immediate
demands which has been raised by the Consulado of
that port.
Letters from Lisbon of the 18th speak of our
army at Badajos as being far from healthy, and as In
want of several necesaries. There is a scarcity of
waggons for the conveyance of provisions ; and sere
of the letters assert that .there is a serious misunder-
standing between the Central Junta and the Brititish
Commander.

Dutch papers to the 22d ult- have arrived. It has
been for some time pretty evident that NAPOLEON
*means to assume the title of " Emperor of the West."
The answer he made to a deputation from Rome,
given among our extracts, seems to point that way.
The King of HOLLAND issued on the 3d inst. two
additional decrees, directed to the object ofpreventing
all commercial intercourse with this country. One of
them draws a line of demarcation from Dykhusen, on
the coast of East Friesland, to Bunde, in the Rheider.
land, beyond which, on the Dutch territory, nb maga-
zines or depots of goods,wares,or manufactures ofany
description whatever, will henceforth be permitted. In-
ventories of such establishments are ordered to be de-
livered to the Officers of the Director of Ways and
Means, within three days from the time of the publica-
tion of the decree, which was on the 9th instant, and
the proprietors were forthwith to transport their effects
to places within the line of demarcation. From the
operation of this decree are excepted grain, vegeta-
bles, and such small assortments of mercantile articles
as shall appear to be indispensably necessary for the
convenience of the inhabitants.

The second decree draws a similar line along the
sea-coast, outside of which there are to be no depots
or magazines of colonial produce, English manufac-
tures, or any of the articles prohibited in the decree
of the 31st of May, 1805. This line extends inside
of the islands of Schowen, East, South, and North
.11eveland, 'rholen and Wolphaartsdyk, Overflakkee,
Goederee, Voorne, and Rozenburg, with the excep-
tion of particular places in each of them. The islands
of Wieringen, Texel, Vieland, Terschelling, Arne-
land, &c. are also without the line.
The boundary on the main land is described with
a degree of minuteness, which would occupy a column
of our Paper. It is sufficient to state in general, that
the district which .is subjected to this new commercial
bin, extends in breadth to 2000' Rhenish roods from
the sea coast.
