DEAL, MARCH 16.

Arrived the TICKLER cutter from Admiral Yotwo
in the Roompot, with a foreign Officer from the
Allied Armies, who is said to be the bearer of dis.
patches of the total defeat of BONAPARTE. Sailed
the ROSARIO sloop of war, with a convoy to Ports-
mouth.

LEITH, MARCH 14.
A Cartel arrived yesterday, with an Envoy from
Norway ; left Ch6stiansand on Wednesday last.

On Tuesday the Lottery was contracted for by
RICHARDSON, GOODLUCK, and Co. and SwJF r and Co.
The Scheme, we understand, is entirely new : every

Purchaser is to have the Chance of the Prizes, not

only in that Lottery, but in the succeeding Lottery.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when the extra ships Lady Castle-
. _._

reagh, 602 tons ; Larkins, 637 tons ; and Coldstream,
694 tons, were taken up, and stationed fur Madeira
and Bengal.
Sir GEORGE COLLIER is to sail immediately from
Portsmouth for the American station, in the LEAN-

DER, 54. guns. This ship has been built and fitted
out exactly upon the plan of the large American fri-
gates ; and is, in every respect, the first vessel sent
out on an equality with the enemy whom she is in-
tended to meet.

The Affidavit of Lord COCHRANE, we are given to
understand, has saddled the Marshal of the King's
Bench with the debts of Mr. RANDOM DE BLRENO£II,

who, having been now found at random in Green-

street, instead of being within the Rules, has made
others liable to the creditors.

Sir WILLIAM GARROW iS re-elected M. P. for the
Borough of Eye.
The following extract of a Letter from Mr. F.
JOHN, dated Arendal, in Norway, February 25, af-
fords some interesting information, with regard to
that country.
41 t left Harwich nn the 30th of January, in the
Albion packet, for Gottenburgh. The Albion,aafter
the mail of the gtith of January and two passengers
were put on board the Diana, set sail back to Eng-
land, her leaky condition not ;Wowing her to beat the
lea, in these latitudes. Out Captain (M,DoNocou)
expected that a gale might free the Swedish coast
from the enormous quantity of ice that stretched horn
twelve to fifteen miles out to sea, which floating about
in huge masses, rendered it extremely dangerous to
approach ; in consequence, he determined to cruize
in the Sleeve, betwten Marstrand:end the Skaw, the
north point of Jutland.
:4. My own impotence, together with the import-
ance that naturally attached to ten mails, which our
packet and our companion the LARK had on hoard,
led me to hope, that the merchants of Gottenburgh,
who must have been informed of our arrival off the

coast, would contrive to send rff an ice-boat for land-

ing the bags and passengers. However, no prospect
of relief being held out to us from any quarter, atter
a cruize of nine or ten days, we prevailed upon the
Captain to make the coast of Norway, where, in conse-
quence of the late peace, the pilots might be expected
to come out. On the 16th, we got in sight of the
land, and towards four o'clock, four pilot-boats came
along-side of us, protesting that no danger could be
apprehended from our landing in Norway, as they
had positive orders to pilot vessels of all flags into
the neighbouring ports.
44 We were too impatient to get ashore, to harbour
any doubts respecting our personal security. Arrived
at Arendal we met with no detection on the part of
the Navy Department, the order to the pilots being
given them from an official quarter. The military
department, however, had not as yet any intimation
corresponding with it, and we w re declared priso-
ners. We underwent an examination before the Ma-
gistrates, aad rested our defence on the point of hav-
ing landed on the faith of an express order of the
Government of Norway. Our case was stated to the
Sheriff of the county, residing at Christiansand ; and
his understanding being as narrow as that of the
Burgomaster of this place, be did not consider himself
authorised to give the matter his own decision, but
referred it to the chief seat of Government at Chris-
tiana, although in the interval the military autho-
rities had received orders to allow all individuals of
friendly nations to travel unmolested throughout
Norway.
It may well be said that there are four different
Governments established here—the Naval, Military,
Civil, and the Royal ; each of them acting on diffe-
rent principles, or rather against than in concert with
each other. One reason may be given for our unwar-
rantable treatment, namely, that the whole country is
in a state of fermentation, in consequence of the peace
between Denmark and Sweden. The whole nation,
it would appear, is determined on opposing the ar.
nexation of Norway to Sweden, unless they are el-
lowed to make their own conditions. In this they
expect to be supported by England, which has alway'
shown a partiality for nations that contend for then
liberties and independence. In case the incorpora
tion should he eufurced unconditionally, Prince
CHRISTIAN, who re.ities at Christiana, is expected to
be proclaimed immediately King of Norway."
