GOTTENBURGH MAIL.

Another mail arrived last night, brought to Har-
wich by the Prince of Wales packet. By this packet
two messengers came from Gottenburgh with dis-
patches—one of them English, the other Swedish.—
The dispatches probably relate to the new order of
things established in Sweden.
Mr. CHAPMAN and Family, from .Elsineur, came
passengers in the Prince of Wales.
When the packet left Gottenburgh on the 18th
;nst. Admiral KEATS, with a convoy of upwards of
100 sail for England, was waiting a fair wind to
proceed.
One of the Journals received by this mail contains an
article which states that the Emperor ALEXANDEn has
actually set out for Koningsberg to have a conference
with the King of PRussiA. This fact, if correct, is of
great importance. Coupled with another rumour
'Which we shall immediately state, it holds out a hope
that ALSZANDER has resolved to take the field against
subverter ci the European Monarchies.

The Messenger whose arrival from the Continent
was announced in our Yarmouth letter on Saturday,
117 a s the bearer of dispatches froth the Austrian Army
to Prince STAHREMBERG. He left Presburg on the
26th, and the Austrian head-quarters on the 28th
alt. His dispatches announce the important fact,
that the Hungarian Levy, to the amount of 60,000
mtn, was to join the archduke CHARLES on the 9th
.

General ABERCROMBIE, with his suite, is preparing
•o set out for Bombay, where he is appointed Com-
!Tillr.lelr in Chief.

FRESH ARRIVALS FROM HOLLAND.

Since our last several vessels have arrived at Har-

with and Yarmouth from Dutch ports. The letters
brought by them are to the 21st instant, and their
contents are important.
They mention as a current report the news we
communicated on Saturday, of a series of fresh en-
gagements having commenced on the Danube on the

12th, and continued with hardly any intermission
during the three following days.—They add an im-
portant fact, which we shall be happy to find con-
firmed, that a Prussian army of 30,000 men had
joined the Austrian army ; and that the issue of the
battle was the complete discomfiture of NAPOLEON'S
army !
We wish we could add, that suck accounts had
been received officially, but we have not been able to
ascertain this fact. We cannot, however, doubt en-
tirely the truth of the general statement, the same
accounts having been brought by different vessels,
and from different ports.
By one of these vessels, a most respectable House
in the City has received a copy of a New Decree of
NAPOLEON respecting Commerce, of which the fol-
lowing is a translation :
" EXTRACT FROM THE MINUTES OP THE SECRETARIES

OF STATE.
" IMPERIAL DECREE.

" From cur Imperial Camp at Ebersdorff,
4th June, 1809.
" /sTA PO L sox, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector
of the Confederation of the R 1 ine--

" We have decreed, and do hereby decree as follows :

" Art. I.—The relations between France and Holland shall be
re—zstablished upon the same footing as before our decree of the

16th September, 1808.
" Art. 2.—Our Minister of Finances is directed to see the pre-
sent decree put in execution. (Signed)

" NAPOLEON."

The private letters received from Holland state,
that the American Minister at Paris, General ARM-
STRONG, has not yet received any answer from the
French „Government ; and it was general ex 7
pected that if he did not soon receive one, he would
take his departure.

This Imperial prohibitory Decree, of 16th Sep-
tember last, now repealed by the above Decree, pre-
vented the importation of Colonial produce into
France from Holland. But new and severe Decrees
against American Commerce are daily expected by
the merchants in Holland.

embarked in the Downs, and to be commanded by

Lord CHATHAM or Lord CATHCART, collecting at
