GOTTENBURGH

A Cottenburgh Ma 1 arrived this morning, from
which we present our leaders with the following
extraetsl •

The regulations on the subject of the future inter-
course between Sweden and Russia are interesting
in a commercial point (1 view. The ports of Sweden
may now be considered as shut against British vessels.

RIGA, OCTOBER 23.

According to authentic intelligence received from
Petersburgh, the treaty of commerce concluded in
1801, between Russia and Sweden, has regained its
full force ; yet, with regard to ships papers, the Swe-
dish ships are to be subjected to the same proceedings
which are observed with regard to other neutral ves-
sels, viz, that they must be transmitted to Petersburgh
and examined there, before they are unloaded, which
takes from 12 to 14 days. The papers which the ships
are bound to have on board, are the muster roll, mea-
surement bill, and bill brief ; and the bills of lading
and certificates of origin must be signed by the Rus-
sian or French Consul, or, in places where no such
Consul resides, by the Magistrate of the place. It is
reported that the exportation of rye is to be per-
mitted exclusively from this port ; but we have not
yet received any official isdarmation on this subject.
Atcording to the last accounts from Petersburgh, all
sorts of Colonial produce maintain very high prices,
while the catrse of exchange is extremely low. Se-
veral ships have lately arrived here under. Swedish
colours.
STOCKEOLNT, NOVEMBER 13.

It is now made publicly known, that our intercourse
with Enghnd is to cease, according to the stipulations
of the late Treaty ; for yesterday, (Sunday), notice
was given from the pulpit here, and in several other
of the maritime towns of Sweden, that our ports would
be shut against all English ships on Wednesday the
15th inst. ; and it is therefore expected that an official
communication to that effect will then be made to
Rear Admiral Pickmore, the Commander in Chief of
the British ships on this stztion. He is to sail for
England on the Nth; but the last convoy cannot
sail before the Ist December, and two ships of war
will be suffered to remain at Carlscrona to escort it.
—..Two Swedish ships of the line, four frigates, and
several gun-boats, have, within these few days, sailed
from this city for that port, before which there is at
present one ship cruising, to prevent the entrance of
any English vessels.
The inhabitants here, and particnlarly those of
Carlscrona, are greatly alarmed from fear of a visit by
an English fleet to remonstrate against this exclusion
of their ships from our ports; alai all the assurances
which the English Resident here can give them, dia..
no harm is intended them, are insufficient to coiet
their apprehensions.

WALCHEREN.
" FLUSHING, NOV. 14.

" You have learnt that the greater part (two-thirds) •
of the 16,000 [(Gips who were left to garrison Wal-
chcren, have been s:7t home -•vith a malignant fever.
Hitherto, there has been little alteratkn for the better.
Officers and soldiers fall sick- nearly as fast as ever, in
• proportion to the number that are left : and when
some of the newspapers state that the amount of the
sick is diminished, they for-et that the decrease is
owing to two causes—to the number of deaths here,
and the number of men sent to England. •
" The original garrison of Flushing consisted of
6000 men ; but on Sunday last, notwithstanding all
the officers' servants, and those to whom the care of
the s'ck was intrusted, were collected, not more than
750 could be mustered. The sick and healthy bear
the same proportion throughout the whole island.—
The Artillery, you know, are upon a more liberal
establishment than the rest of the,army : yet of two
companies here, one had every man in the hospital
except the Captain ; and the other had only five fit
r for duty out of 120, though 5.5 of these were well
last ninth."

Thursday her MAJESTY and tjte Princess EI.IZA
BETH, attended by Miss liNtatyr, took an airing to

turned toahe Palace.
