Received at the Office of the Publick Ledger, by the ship Augustus, captain Hore, in twenty-eight days from Portsmouth, (Eng.)
LONDON, October 28.
A mail from Gottenburg arrived yesterday afternoon. Its contents are unimportant, with the exception of the following article, which states, that all apprehensions of a rupture between G. Britain and Russia have for the present subsided. Private advices add, we hope correctly, that the court of Petersburg has expressed much displeasure at some of the late proceedings of Buonaparte.
"GOTTONBURGH, Oct 19.
"A courier has arrived from St. Petersburg, in 14 days; the alarm of war with England seems to be quite over for the present, and all was peaceable when he left it. Some fears of an embargo had been entertained, and several ships had left the Russian ports, to the no small disadvantage of the merchants."
The private letters speak in the same encouraging terms ; on the whole the communications by the mail have afforded considerable satisfaction to the mercantile interest.
