NASSAU, July 8.
By the arrival of the brig

London dates to the 25th and
Liverpool to the 27th of May,
from which weextiatt the fol

IMPORTANT.
London, May 21.
A mail, or rather a bag of
letters has just arrived at the
poft'office from Heligoland.—
By the lame conveyance, gov
ernment aie put in poliellion of \
dilpaiches which have just now
been delivered, but their con- !
tents of coutfe ace unknown.
The Auflrians under the arch
duke Ferdinand have obtained
Lveral advantages ovet the
Poles and Saxony, and have
taken Ozenftochow.
On the 28th ult, 3000 Dutch
troops on waggons, palfed ihro’
Hanover lor Hefle— shortly
after leaving Elze. they were
surrounded by the people of
thr county and disarmed.
At Bielfield and many other
pans of Hanover, the people
have taken up aims: at Bid
field however, the government
prevailed, and counsellor Am
inas with leveral others were ar
rested.
It is stated in the Hamburg
Cortefpot.dent of the id inst.
that general Wolodkieviez, who
arrived at YVarfaw on the xS.h
from Grodno, read at that place
an older of the Rullian govern
ment to general Levis, direc
ting him to invade Galltcia, in
the event of the Au ft nans ad
vancing into Pol nd.

rived yesterday. The report
is t’*at thc Swedish councils,
thus early after the convoca
tion of the diet have deteimined
to Ihut their ports againit us,
and to join their neighbors in
the war- This refolulion is al
iened as the realon lor Mr.
Merrey's leaving Stockholm
on the 7th inlt. aud we under
hand he has alteady arrived
in London, On the fame au**
thority, it is stated, that the
court of Peterlburgh had de
clared war agatnlt the emperor
Francis on the 2d inii, Ihe
papers brought by the mails,
brings us lome accounts o( mi.
iuary movements and prepara
tions in the Ptuftian (late.
Two expeditions ate iu pre
paration : one of 3 or 4000
troops, wilh a Itrong naval force
is to be employed near home;
the other ol 10,000 men is de
(tined for the Mediterranean.
We learn with much taiisfac
tion, that it is the intention ot
j government to immediately dtl
patch rcinioiceinems to the a
mountof 10,000 men to bir
Atthur Wellelley. Upwards of
3000 men ate expected to em
bark in the courle ui next week.

By the btipeib (loop which
arrived at Yarmouth ftotu He
ligoland, on Saturday morning
lome accounts of a latisfactory

By thelc it appears that the iptr- !
k ol inlunettion agamlt French
domination and oppreliion is
inoie ionnidable in the North

hoped pollible.
Ihe force under Von Schill,

ed at from 40 to 50,000 men.
Lhe Qth Dutch regiment, chief.
Iv confiding of Pruftians which
had recently marched from
Hamburgh to Case!, had gone
over to Schill, with molt of
iheir officers. In New Haldef-
Icben, two leagues from Mag
deburgh, Schill, seized the A>y
al chelts on the 7th, and had
excited the grateft alarm in the
neighborhood. The king of j
Weltphalia, by a decree dated !
from Caflel, the 51b, declared |
| hmu an outlaw, and offered 10,„
000 francs for his apprehen
| lion.
Dispatches have been recei
ved by the Superb which ac
cording to repoit, contain Come ■
particulars still mote intereftiug.
l he rumour is that the tnlurgem 1
noops, of which the gieater J
number are 1 epic fen ted to bc ;
Pruiiian.s, have actually duven
the Fiench out of Hanover,
and ate carrying evety thing
before them in that quancr.
1 he dispatches were deemed
of so much importance, that
the Supet b came away the mo
ment the Mcffenger was tecer I
ved on board, without even
waning for balUft.
A Gottenburgh mail has al
so arrived. Ihe Swedifti pa
pers received on this occahon
contain a manifefto or statement
of lads publiftied by the duke
of Sudertnania, with the view
of justifying the late revolution*
It appeis that the king of
Sweden has been compelled to
abdicate bts throne. It is re.
ported that the /Regent has been
chosen king. Some letters from
Sweden lay that it was at fir ft
intended to attempt the depo
lition ot the king, not on ac
count of his incapacity to go.,
vero, but on account of his il
legitimacy ; it having been as
serted, that Gustavus was not
the lon of the late king, but of
gen. M. ; and it was farther ad
ded, the bilhop of G. could give
the moll indilputable testimo
ny to prove the important fad.
It appeals that the people of
Sweden are by no means unan
imous in their approbation of
the polition of their foveretgn.

Correspondence with America.
In the houfc of commons last
night, lord Henry Betty pul a
question 10 Mr. Canning upon
the fubjed of the corrdpon
dence between Mr. Erlkine and
the American government. —
Mr Canning replied, that the a- i
gteement, purpottmg to be en*
tered into by our miniiters and
the American government, was
not made in conformity with 1
the wilhes of his majelty, nor !
luch as his majelty could ap- 1
i prove of. It was neither found- i
ed on the inltructions lent to !
our tninifter, nor coniiftent with i
them. Yet as it was pollible j
that under the faith of that a
greetnent, various fpsculattons
in ttade might be entered into
by American merchants, it be
came necellary to prevent any
inconvenience or detriment to
them, to iliue some order, by
which they might be secured of
indemnity tn their fpeculattons,
i at lealt till the feminisms of his
I majelty could be convey ed to A
! mertca. *
An order in council would
Ipetdily be published to the a
j bove.mentioncd effefcl. It will
| appear in Saturday nights gaz
ette. Previously, however, to
the meeting of the house of com
! nions yesterday, Mr. Sanlom
the chairman of the committee
of merchants trading to the U.
Stales of America, received a
earl Baihurlt, prefi
-1 dent of the bond of trade, re
queuing his attendance, with
j luch other gentlemen of the
1 committee as might be inclined
to accompany him, at the board.
The chairman and several
members of the committee re
paired at one o’clock to the
treasury chamber, and on their
being introduced to the board
; of trade, were informed by earl
Bathurll, that the recent ar_
| raiigements made by our am.
! baffador, Mr. Ltfkine, with the
government of Atnetica, thro’
its lecrctary, Mr. Smith, were
linauthorijcd by his tnajefty’s
minilleis, and that he had lent
for the committee, for the ex
press purpose of communicating
the fad to them, wilh the view
that the fame might without loss
of time be made knovtn to the
merchants trading the United
States. His lordship at the
lame time informed the commit
tee, that no advantage would
be taken, or any impediment
thrown in the way of thole who
had already, Sc in conlequenct
of this unauthorifed arrange
ment, sent conhgnments to any
of his Britannic rcajetty’s sub
jects; but that American (flips
and cargoes, under luch ctr
cumftances, would be allowed
10 proceed to their delimed pons
in iecurity.
