A Gentleman who left Konigsberg as late as tFe
end of List month, states, that it was generally be-
lieved there that war «•otld in a short time be declared
by Russia against France. The motive of hostility
was stated to be, that since the election of BMW
DOTTE to the dignity of Crown Prince of Sweden, an
intimation had been given by BONAPARTE that the
surrender of Finland to its former Sovereign must be
the consequence of that appointment. The same
person adds that no idea was entertained that Fas.
DERICE WILLIANI would retire to a private station to
transfer his sceptre to the Prince of NEUFCHATEL.

Letters have been received from Ghent and Ostend,
the former to the 7th and the latter to the 12th instant.
On the supposed authority of these communications,
it was asserted that the Prince we have just named
( Benvutea) had been poisoned at Paris. The Ger-
man papers received this morning mention nothing
regarding such an event, and the statement does Dot
deserve the least credit whatever.

There is not the least appearance of a relaxation
of the late rigorous restraints imposed by NAPOLEON
on his own concessions respecting trade. The Mer-
chants here continue to hope for the best ; but such
is the present state of things on the other side of the
water, that nothing can be depended on.

The letters are silent on the subject of the new
Decree, dated August 28th, relative to passengers:
nevertheless, many believe the information on flat
head to be correct. There are several passengers in
England who so far credit the existence of the Decree,
that they will not venture over.. Amongst the rumours
of the day, one of a singular import was circulated
yesterday ; it was to this effect : that an invitation
had reached the British Government from the Km;
of DesataaK, through the medium of Sir James SAC'
lIAREZ, to send a sufficient force to take possession
of the island of Zealand, and protect it against the
•French. This was said to be in conformity to the
advice of the Emperor of RUSSIA. We place no re-
liance in the report ; which- is at complete variance
with the accounts received by the above mail.
An express reached town yesterday from flaw
burgh. Amongst other things it was stated that
General RAPP, Governor of Daatzic, had been 4.
pointed by BONAPARTE Consul-General of the Baltic.
From St. Petersburgb letters have been obtained .0
the recent date of the 21st of last month. The bank.
ing and mercantile concerns in that city were much
disorganized by the political. obstructions to trade
and the consequence had, bees thefailurc of the house
