This day three Mils arrived from Gottenburgh.
The following are the most interesting of tht commu-
nications received by this conveyance :

GOTTENBURGH, APRIL 23.

This morning appeared off this port the long ex-
pected convoy from England, under protection of the
British frigate Alexandria : several ships have already
come in. This arrival is very opportune, as to-mor-
row the Decree of the 24th of March, prohibiting the
entrance of British ships, begins to take effect. Our
Government had previously given directions for
any ships which may arrive subsequently to the 24th
instant, to bring up below the castle, and to wait for
further orders from Stockholm. Several ships of war
accompanied the convoy, but it is supposed they have
proceeded to the Belts.—The Cabinet Courier Lund-
guise, goes to England by this packet, with dispatches
for our Minister in London.
COPENHAGEN, APRIL 17.

A letter from flyvanig of the 11th instant, states,
that two large English ships have lately been cap-
tured off the coast of Norway, by our brigs of war,
one of them was loaded with masts, and the other
with wheat,

Four Danish gun-boats, commanded hy Lieute-
nant Skelstid, are also said to have taken an English
gun boat stationed off Anholt.

STOCKHOLM, APRIL 21.

The Prussian General Listoy is expected here in
the course of a few days. It is known that he left
Berlin on the 10th. After remaining here a short
time, he will proceed to England. His mission gives
rise to a variety of conjectures.
M. Pesaugers, the French Charge d'Affaires, has
had several conferences with the Minister ; and it is
now known that M. Brinckmann, our Minister in
London, is recalled.

Governme►tt has suddenly given orders for the re-
inforcement of the Garrison of Gothlancl.

A Hamburgh Paper of the 24th ult. has arrived,
but its contents are uninteresting.
Private letters have been received from Amster-
dam to the Ist instant. They express much alum
and anxiety for the future fate of Holland. Not Wit-
hstanding the regard professed by NAPOLEON for the
independence of that country, French troops are
pouring in in great numbers. The whole of the Coast
from the Northern banks of the Maese co the Sou-
thern shores of the Elbe, are occupied with French
Soldiers and French- Custom-house Officers. Their
whole number is about 20,000 meu, and their head-
glue:ten are at the Hague.

if the intended removal of the Hide and Leather
Markets, from Leadenhall, should take place, a lease
of the gracinuunedvmeda thatbe tghriasnpetetdititohnembe:.teTeltiteedwtoorththye
CoMmittee of City Lands. This was objected to by
Mr:Meintrere, as the bill for the removal of the
Market cotlld not be brought into Parliament till next
Session.; He.'therefore moved, as an amendmeut,
that the Petition• do lie on the table, which amend-
m'ent was agreed to.
Mr. We tumor presented a Petition from the Mar.
shelmen, praying an increase el salary. He also
gave notice, that he would, on an early day, Call the
attention of the Court to Theepower lately assureed
by the H. ise of Cternmons..of imprisoning. British
subjects, for offences cognizable by the established
law of the Find ; and also to the inadequacy of the
Parliamentary Representation. He, therefore, mot.
ed, that thee Lord Mayor should, at an early day.
call arvespeciai Court for those perposes.
A Petition, signed by several persons, vas react
and referred to the Committee of General Purposes,
praying the appointment tea a Fire Coroner in the
City, on the ground, that the great increase of tires
arose from a desire to defraud the Insurance Com-
panies, or other fraudulent purposes.
The Report of the Committee of City Lands, re-
lative to an exchange of ground in St. George's
Fields, for the scite of Bethlem Hospital, was aeierel
to, and a Petition ordered to be presented to Pariie-
meat for that purpose.
Mr. GRIFFITHS said, it was his intention to move,
that all those who have not qualified, by takag the
oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy, shall not be eli-
gible to vote upon any election, or be upon any Corn
mittee or Commission. He did this, because he etas
sorry to find, there were no less than 78 Members,
who had not qualified. He assured the Court his
intention was extremely liberal—(a laugh.) —He that
moved, that the Clerk of the Peace, do lay before the
Court, the names of the Members, who have nut
taken the above oaths.
Mr. WAITIIMAN hoped the Court would be unani-
mous (except the Gentleman himself) in rejecting
such a motion • and he wished that Gentleman, with
all his boasted liberality, would have some regard to
the scruples of others. He (Mr. Waithman) spoke
this with more boldness, having himself qualified,
but he liked to see a man with scruples, it chewed he
had some consciencel,
After a few words from Mr. MAwMAN and Mr.
GRIFFITHS, in reply,
• ' Mr. Box moved the previous question, which was
carried without a division.
Mr. WAITILSIAN then put the original question,
'.reiedering unqualified Members ineligible to vote, &c.
in order to have the opportunity of expressing his ne.
• gative. The question being put, was carried in the
negative without a division.
Mr. QUIN asked the Lord Mayor, if any steps had
been taken in consequence of the Coroner's Jury hay-
ing found a verdict of Wilful Murder against a Lite-
guardsman, to discover the assassin ?
The. LORD MAYOR answered, that an inquiry was
on foot, and he hoped in a day or two to be able to
lay the result of it before the Court.
