It is sup posed that the fire has been the effect of design, and a report prevailed at Hamburgh, when The Mulgrave left it 011 Saturday 13th, that two Ruffians had been taken into custody there, on suspicion of having been concerned in this diaboli cal crime." As the Hamburgh mail of the ijth, which arriv ed on Saturday last, made no mention of any fire having taken place at Stockholm, the probability is, that the writer of the above account has mistaken Copenhagen for Stockholm.
