GOTTENBURGH NAIL.

At a late hour laft night a antenburgh mail at.
rived at the Poft Office. By this conveyance we
have received private letters which, however, con•
taro but little intelligence. They mention that the
conduit of the Crown Prince, in refuting to ratify the
capitulation of Copenhagen, had excited great fur-
prife, and no little degree of mut muting among the
people, who feared that in confecpence, the Englith
would have contidered themfelves ju(lified in treat-
ing the place as one captured whhoat terms.—
They feared that not only the goods in the ware
toufes of the Eaft India Company, to the value of
fiveral minions Reding, would have been feized, but
that the captors would retain poffcMon of the place,
or, at any rate, deftroy all the works before their 'de.
patture. The removal of the Britifh had removed
their fears, and notwithftanding the national feeling
at the lots of their fleet and arfcnals, had left a fa-
yourable impteffiJn on the minds of the Danes. The
French they fay, would not have ad:ted in the fame
manner.
• The klurna)s talk of preparations for the invafion
of this country. On this topic we may exiled a good
deal to appear during the winter months.

TTENBUR9H, DECEMBER s.
yeiteoay an Englifti courier arrived berc front St.
reteliburgi), who )eft it at the fame tine with the
Enislifhistinicter,Loxd ItIVISON GOVilit. His Lord•

'hip and fuite are eapeeled here in ;. day or two.—
The embargo was laid in all the Ruill.4ll ports on the
loth ult. Only four (hips were in Cronfladt when

it took place, one of which failed• with Lord Gowsa's
baggage; the -reit were detained—very few Englith
(hips were in the other ports.
On the t ith ult, feals were put on all the ma-
gazines in St. Peterfburgh, fuppofed to contain
Englith property, but, it is Paid, very little was in
them : This was done under the direition of the
French General Savary, who reports that he will
shortly leave Peterfburgh to take the command of the
army destined to invade England. A great number
of Englifh merchants and their families were prepar-
ing toleave Peterfburgh when the courier came away,
and the people there ezpreffed their diflike to the
tneafures of the Government in very thong and une-
quivocal terms. The poll for England, which ar-
rived here from St. Peterfburgh the day before
yelerday, will, it is laid, be the laft we than receive
for the prefent from thence. Lord Ilutchinfon and
Colonel Etalace arrived here from Stockholm the
day before yeflerday.
Two Hamburg!) mails are due here.
In the year 11305 his Royal Highnefs the Crown
Prince received an Englifh built frigate, as a prefent
from his Majtffy the King of England. When the
Englifh carried away the Danith navy, and plundered
the arftnal, they left this frigate. His Royal High,
nefs, therefore, on his return to Copenhagen, ordered
that this frigate should be manned with t 6 English
Tailors, who had been made prifoners, furnifbed with
the neceffary provifions, and fent back to England.
The following is a copy of the pars with which the
Captain, William Pater fon, was turnithed, written in
the Danifh, French, and Englith languages :
" The Deputies of the Boar•] of Admiralty, and ConuriMoners
of the Navy of his Royal Majcfly the King of Denmark and Nor-
way, at Copenhagen, make Lmoevn, that William Paterfon, Mailer
of an Englifb veffel, fent from hence with an Engin built frigate
to England, for delivering her to the Royal Englifh Admiralty, has
been permitted to paf. the Boom. at the Toll-houre, and further
to fail, but without returning from the Road of Copenhagen in
Paid frigate, whole crew is compofed of one mate and Giteen
failors, all liberated Englifh prifoners of war, agreeably to the lift
delivered to the Paid Mailer, requefling all whom it may concern
to let the Mailer of this frigate, together with his laid crew, pals
free and unmolefled, as well out of the harbour u at ha, on his
prefent voyage.

The above fhip left Copenhagen, and failed for
the North Sea on the 23d November,
The privateers the Pearl, C. F. Kittle ; and the
Flying Fifh, Janfen, took, on the 19th November, a
richly laden Englith brig ; but being chaced by an
armed ship, cruizing there, were obliged to abandon
their prize.
Extra& of a letter from Peterfburgh, dated
it, 1807 r—t. The Elbe, C RLF.S ; Bctiey, DCYDEM ;
Apollo, Goo Rev ; and the Mary, Vv o`n ; are em-
bargoed here. Our warehoufer are leaLd."

The Auckland packet. Capt. BRIDGE, with a flag
of titre ard the Dana Chat ge d'xkffairet on board,
put into lieli,oland, and from thence proceeded to
Cuxhaven. Ni Me was permitted to land on the
HoMein or Slefwick coati. Up:A her arrival at
Cuxhaven on the 25th November, the French Ct m-
mandant would neither let the paffengers nor the
parlt.t proceed, with, ut orders from the Prince of
F. wry CORVO. Thefe arrived on the 29th, when the
packet was allowed to return, and the palrengers 'to
continue their journey. They were mated with the
grcatea civility at.Cuxhaven.

An American veffal, which failed from Amßerdam
on the 7th inflant put into ltamfgate on Wednefday,
where the landed fame pat angers. By this veffel
a few letters have been received from the Continent.
According to one of tkefe letters, which we have
feen, feveral of the vetch detained in Holland, in
confequence of the decree of September latl, have
been releafed, afer an invetligat ion of their cafe by the
tribunals appointed by KING Lcuis, under that de
tree. In this letter King Louis is mitch panegyrifed
for his averfion to rigour, and his difpofition to con.
ciliate the popular feeling. It alto mentions the great
flagnation -of trade, and the extreme fcarcity of col°.
vial produce.
A Captain of an American Chip, after &feting a
four years' captivity at Verdun, under fofpicion of
bang an Englith fubjeet, has at length obtained his
liberty. He arrived in town yefterday, on his way to
America. He came by the above vette], which is
Ibuund for the Savannah. She failed in company
with five American flips, viz. the Hardware, Pallas,
I Sally, Lucy, and Phcebe.
No embargo teems, therefore, to have been yet
laid on American veftels in Holland i and we may
infer, confequently, that nothing of the kind has yet
taken place in France. If fo, the late rneffage of
Mr. Jill ERSON will be fuflicient to prevent any mea•
Pure of the kind from being adopted•

The Captain reports, that an American •cut was
loft at the Helder rn Sunday
