Last night's Gazette contains notice of the raising of the
Danish blockade of the harbours of Pillau, Dantzic, Cammin, Swinemunde, Wolgast, Griefs- walde, Stralsund, and Rostock; also that of the rivers of Elbe, Weser, and Jahde, the Western coast of the Dutchy of Holstein, and all the harbours of the Dutchy of Schleswig. " The blockade continues along the East coast of the Dutch,- of Holstein, with the harbours of Neustadt, Fleiligenhafen with Fehmer Sound, and the Bay of Kiel, with the entrance of the Canal."
The cessation of the blockade has produced the most undisguised satis- faction in all the Baltic ports. The wharfs and quays, hitherto deserted, are now crowded with workmen. The waters of the interior are crowded with boats, bringing down corn, hemp, and other goods from the interior; and sufficient hands can scarcely be found to satisfy the wants of employ- ers. The accounts of the harvest from the North-east are also excellent; so that the blessing of cheap food may be added to that of abundant em- ployment.
