Wc leant from Sweden that pro
per commissions had been sent into
the north to settle the boundaries be
tween the Russian and Swedish nati
ons, and the whole diplomatic system
seems pacific between the two nati
ons. i'he Swedes are not perfectly
satisfied that the death of their late
Prince was a natuial one, alter all
the assurances of the physicians, and
to relieve the public mind, a very
rich reward is offered to any person
who can give anv,evidence by which
the history of this event can be more
fully explained. In many of the
provinces, the peasant# have offered
to convey the body of their Prince
to the place of his interment, so great
were their expectations from him,
and so full were their suspicions,
that they have been deprived of a
friend. In June, another division
ol gun-boats passed from Stockholm
to Gottenburgh. It is expected that
the Gathiand Canal will cost above
.1,000,000 crowns. A Swedish diet
was to assemble on 23d July. In
the proclamation, after notice of the
death of Prince Charles, the design
ol the diet is declared to be to ap
point an heir to the throne. The
diet is to meet at Stockholm.

These notes it appears have passed
with the British public for the last
thirteen years as a circulating. medi
um, the same as if their value had
been established by specie of solid
kind, representing them, in the vaults
of the Bank. The effect was that
the Bank Directors, finding them
selves exonerated from meeting their
notes with specie, extended their
discounts and augmented the emis
sion of their notes from 11 millions,
at the period of their defalcation, to
nearly if not quite 50 millions ster
ling in the year 1809; and in the
mean time, whatever specie the bank
possessed was at the disposal of the
British Minister.
A similar system was adopted by
the Bank of Ireland—and the circu
luting medium of both countries and
mercantile accommodation were e-
normously encreased. The country
banks followed the example of the
mother bank, and issued their paper
without regard to the amount—thus
furnishing the means of speculation
to persons of no real capital, who
have been shipping largely to the
Mediterranean, the Baltic, to Saxo

only ruinous markets ; and this is

oars, and listened to his meditations.
He saw, or thought he saw, we fej ■
an interest in his fate. He dare not
hail us, for fear of the eve of the

boatswain. But as we hung about
the ship, he threw a paper overboard
unperceived by the officers, which
drifted on the tide till within'our
