The Abbe Zeli was commissione d to re-establish the public instituti ons agreeably to the instructions of the new government under the Duke of Rugusa 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.

DOMESTIC. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19. Merino Sheep. The following facts relative to the recent importa tion of Merino Sheep at this place and New-York, have been commu nicated to us by a gentleman, whose sources of information are entitled to perfect confidence.—fRegister. J The number of Merino Sheep im ported from Lisbon within the last month, may be justly considered as matter of astonishment, by those who recollect the difficulties which were stated to exist in procuring those a- nimals ; it will therefore be gratify ing to be informed of the fortunate e- vent which has been the cause of a Louisville, ( Ken.)

Boston, Sept. 12 From Russia.—On Monday last arrived at this port, the ship Iior- ranee, Bickford, 85 days from St. Petersburg, with a full cargo of hemp, iron, duck and sheetings, to his honor William Gray. Capt. Bickford was charged with despatches to our go vernment from his excellency John Quincy Adams, our minister pleni potentiary at the court of Russia. v -j issuing 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 ny, to Spain, the Brazils, the West Indies, &c. where they have found only ruinous markets ; and this is FR05ITHTT TRENTONTRUE AMERICAN.

Still, among the natives are many men of intelligence and good infor mation and genius, and I have heard them complain, that the government here had prohibited instruction in those branches ot the law which teach the rights and duties of man and of the community. Most difficult will it he to overcome the bad habits to which they have been accustomed for so long a time, and those preju dices, imbibed from their earliest years. The inquisition, being ob noxious to the well informed among the natives, it is supposed, will bt iloiie away, and this iron rampart of darkness being lemoved, it is to In- hoped that truth and sound principles v ill gradually find admittance A- merica appears more favorable to such reforms than the old European coun tries ; the. dictates ol nature are more followed in this widely extended and t'.inly peopled region ; and it ap- * t cars, that, as in the physical world the light progresses from east to v est, it uas been so disposed bv Di vine Providence, that similar supply of the whole of the U.

This excess of credit be sides glutting the markets wherever goods find an illicit access, effects the fair paying dealer ; and thus round the circle of commerce all its principles are overstrained and its ob jects defeated. The depreciation of the paper mo ney of Great-Britain, and the conse quent destruction of both public and private credit (events which could not have occurred so long as British commerce encreased in ratio with the augmentation of a circulating medi um) are now in rapid progress to their accomplishment, in consequence of the novel system adopted by the John Moore with respect to the in ability of the British government to supply the army in Spain with specie and above all the circumstance the gold being at a high premium for the purpose of shipping to the continent of Europe, on account the exchange rising 20 or 30 per cent, to the disadvantage of England have awakened a portion of the peo ple of G.

At one of the lower parts of the- frigate, we perceived a seaman, re-;' dined in a pensive mood, casting- many a wistful “ longering, lingering" look,” towards the shore, and appa- . rently sighing his sorrows to the • passing breeze. We-rested on our 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 centinel, and the severe lash 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 reach, when we took it up and peru sed its contents. They were his Sunday evening reflections, & wer& doubtless felt when written. And if they claim no merit for literary e- legance,. I think they deserve the meed of sincerity and nature.
