"The German papers received yesterdai are filled
wills details*from the Russian and Turkish erinies,in
which each party claims victories. It is rather dif-
ficult to decide on these contradictory statementi—,
the Russians, however, seem to have had the advan-
tage, but none of the actions appear to have been
, decisive.

We learn by letters from Hamburgh to the Ist inst.
that the merchants had paid Ole first instalment of
the extra duties imposed on Colonial produce. It
amounted to nearly £150,000 sterling, the greatest
part of which was adv raced by the i3aak of that city
on pledges in gold and silver bullion. Solnefailures
of consequence. had recently taken place ; and the
distress among the Merchants and trading class was
daily increasing. .

THE LATE KING Or SWEDEI.-•AVe stated in part
of our impression of yesterday, the arrival of this dis.-
tinguishefi personae at Yarmouth, as announced by
the Admiralty Telegraph. He came in the TAR-
TARUS sloop of war, and may be hourly expected in
'Town. He made his escape from Riga, on board an
American vessel, ar.d shortly after was received on
board the RUBY British ship of war. On the 7th
instant-he was put on board Sir JAMES SAUMAREes
flagship the Vicroav, where he was received with
all due respect, and from -thence sent to England in
the TARTARUS. He quitted Riga .in such haste that
he was accompanied. only by one single servant, and
brought no luggage with him.
The following is our Correspondent's letter from
Yarmouth en this subject:
46 Varrocktb. November 13.
ig esterday afternoon the TARTARUS sloop landed
disp. ches, and by the boat which brought them, we 1
trcei e the information that GusrAvus, late King of
Sweden, had made his escape, and was on board the 1
TARTARUS. We have-been all this morning on the
tip-toe of expectaticus to see him land; the jetty and
the beach have been lined-with spectators to give him
a hearty welcome with three British Cheers ! but
Why he is prevented landing we have not been able
to learn': the principal cause I believe, is, that there
has not been any answer to the Telegraph dispatch
sent yesterday p. m."
Commissioners have been appointed to, inquire into
the various branches of the revenue in the West In.

occasion. The applications for tickets of admission
to' the Chapel were so numerous as to exceed ell cal-
ctile tion. Origin ell y .it was 'intended to issue 405 ad-
miesions, but sabsequently, in ennsequence of the ar-
raegetnents made for the funeral, it was found neces;"
care
_to limie,:the number to 300.—Disappointed in
their hope ofeteaining tickets, heater-It now endea-
voured to gain a view of the inreriot of the Chapel, but
here again they were disappointed. Angterta bodge
now became an object of public curiosity, in front of
which many persons Appeared hi the course of the
day, who appeared to feel a melancholy pleasure in'
contemplating the mansion in which her Royal Fligh-
tless breathed her last. The windows of the Lodge
.were closed, and the gloomy silence which reigned
eround, 'tended not a little to heighten the mournful
Solemnity of the scene. At an early hour the persons
who were to walk in procession assembled at Augusta
Lodge. The griet which marked the deportment of
each spoke more than volumes of what was the ge-
neral feeling.
[ Between two and three o'clock the Castle gates
wireclosed against the public, and guards stationed
at Ouch Avenue. This eitecautiott was adopted in con-
sequence hf an order issued in the lemming by Lard
Areeseonn, to prevent the admission or improper
persons, as also to guard against that excessive crowd-
ing from which so many incnnveniencies have arisen
on similar occasions. Notwithstandleg this arrange-
ment it is proper to observe, teat persons of decent
appearance found no difficulty in gaining access to
the court-yard. At about five o'clock the -Kine's own
Stafferdshire Militia were marched from their barracks
to flank the procession. These drawing up in front
of the private entrance to St. George's Chapel, lined
the way thence to Augusta Lodge. A burning
flambeau was carried by every seventh or eighth man
all the way along the bee. The effect of this was
very grand, as the light was not sufficiently strong to
detract from the gloom fitting such an occasion, while
it served to shew ties various groups of persons in
li6clc who mournfully paraded the Castle Yard.—
Sho' rtly after the soldiers thus drew up, the Moon
arose hsgreat spkedour, and her silver rays, glittering
oft The battlements of the Castle, had a beautifully se-
'rape appearance, which rendered the spectacle more
picturesque and interesting, as furnishing a tine con-
trest melte sable appearance of all around, though it
in some measure softened the awful aspect of the whole.
Between the hours of six and eight, .a great many
carriages drew up at the private entrance to Saint
George's Chapel. The principal mourners came in
these; and among them several of the Royal Dukes.
The Ladies generally wore Lug white veils, but many
appeared in black ones. Most of the Gentlemen wore
white ribbons on the right shoulder.
About seven o'clock the great bell at the Church
of St. Raul, toiled ; Bow temare the great bell at Sr.
Martin's, the Abbey, Sc. Margaret's, with many others
in London, and the villages contiguous to Wiudsor
did the same. The solemn knell continued about
direr- titters, daring esibi6i tee heterment took place.
The clock had no soeeer struck eight than the pro-
cession moved Irons Augusta Lodge, precisely in the
manner and farm described in our raper of Thursday
last. The servants riche Royal Family came tirst on
foot. After these, four trumpeters on white horses
appeared slowly advancing, playing at the same time
" The Dead Mardi in Saul." They were followed
'by a detachment of the Royal Blues, to which suc-
ceeded the body, in a plain hearse, drawn by eight
horses. The hearse was followed by a carriage, In
.which were the Prince of WALES and Duke of CAM.
*IGE. The second carriage contained the Countess
of CllesTraran.D (chief mourner) and her attendants.
The carriages of the Prince of WALES and the Duke
Of CAMBRIDGE, each drawn by six horses, followed,
and elosed the sad cavalcade.
The pro cesaioe moved slowly to the south entrance
of St. George's Chapel. A temporary porch had
been there erected, which was lined with black cloth.
Arriving there, eight Yeomen, who walked by the side
of 'the hearse,' milt ink the eoffin'and bore it on their
shoulders into the Chapel, and placed it on tressels
near the altar and retired. The Chapel wore sr very
gloomy appearance, the floor being covered with black
glade and the pulpit anti desks hung with the same.
The altar was covered with black, and two flambeaux
were placed on if. The grooms, trumpeters, and ser-
vants tiled off at the outer door, and the body was
received by the PageS of the Royal Family, the Dean
and Prebendary, and the Choir, and the procession
then moved on ire the order which had previously been
!Concerted; mice which we gave at length in our Paper
Thursday.list. The Choir, with burning tapers,
,;walked before-the coffin, singing as they advanced.,,
r, A page also preceded the body, bearing the coronet
:of the Princess AMELIA on a cushion of black velvet
trier, fled with gold. .
Tile procession passed up the middle aisle, and the
body being placed on the tressels, the Chief Mourner
seated herself at the head, and the dressers and at-
teneents ranged themselves on the sides. The gills
on each side of the Chapel were occupied by his MA...1
.IESTY'S Ministers, the Nobility, and Gentry. On thal
right side of the altar we observed
