The newspapers contain very little intelligence of an interesting nature. We have given the most important occurrences.
Captain Parsons has brought dispatches from our minister in London to the secretary of State.
From London papers to April 25th. received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser.
London, April 20.
By the Gottenburgh mail some letters have been received from Dantzir, which state, that an American vessel has arrived there, whose papers certified her to have come from New York. She was, in consequence, permitted to land her cargo, which sold at a very high price. From the examination of the crew, however, it was found that the vessel came last from Liverpool. On this discovery, the Consul who sanctioned the clearance was sent to the galleys, and the whole amount of the cargo was obliged to be delivered up to the French commander, general Rapp.
