The following important intelligence, contradicting the article in yesterday's Edinburgh papers relating to Sweden, has been very politely handed to us by a gentleman in town, whose correspondent mentions, that he got it from the master of the lugger, and that it may be relied on as authentic :
"EDINBURGH. November 8.
This morning at nine o'clock. Mr. Pierpoint, British ambassador at the court of Sweden, landed from a lugger at Leith. under salute of 15 guns, after a passage of 11 days from Helsingburg, & immediately set off for London ; he was succeeded in his embassy by Mr. Bathurst ; every was tranquil when he sailed from Helsingburg. and the king was then there. Three convoys from the Baltic, bound to Britain. consisting of about 100 sail, were lying in that port; the lugger by contrary winds, had put into Marsirand, by which gale, eight of the homeward bound vessels were also put back, and one small brig, name unknown lost."
