From the London Courier, Sept. 10.

In some of the Gottenburg Letters, it is affirmed, that the Crown Prince has actually set off for Abo, accompanied by Baron Adlerkreutz, for the purpose of having an interview with the Emperor Alexander. We know not what credit is due to this report. The address delivered by the Crown Prince, at the close of the Diet of Orebro, preserves the most guarded silence with regard to his political views. It is silent on the subject of the treaty with England—and while it alludes to the extension of hostilities from the Banks of the Tagus to those of the Dwina, it professes a wish that Sweden may be enabled to adhere to a pacific policy.
