AMERICA NORFOLK, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 6, iBcy. The agitation which our town was thrown into by the recent occurreace, had in force degree begun to fubfide, and cur citizens were waiting in calm expec tation for the meafures which our Government might adopt, when n Friday a movement of Britifh fhips again excited it. On the afternoon of that day, the Bellona, Triumph, Leopard, and blelampus came up from Lynhaven Bay, and anchored in Hampton Roads, in fuch a manner as evidently proved that they deigned fomething ferious. Ott Saturday a pilot boat came up to town, the Mailer of which reported that he had been brought to by the Bellcna (the Cornmod , re's fhip). and charged with the following letter from Commodore DOUGLAS, to the MAYOR of this place : " His Majefty's sip Beßona, Hampton Roods, Sot, July 3, 18 0 7.

Pruffia not only (huts her ports againft England, but declares war againft her." RerpeEling the King's Mefrage. announcing the fuh.l.liary treaty with Sweden, the Moniteur exclaims, " Brave, but unfortunate Swedes, how many troubles will this gold occafion you ? Oh ! if England was to remunerate you to the full worth of the lots your trade mull fuftain ; for the s clifgrace that your honour mull Coffer ; for the blood it has, and will rim colt you ! Still, however, you feel thefe evils ; and the lofs of all your privileges, your confiitution, is what you will yet lament ; fubjelted as you are to the fenfelefs wbimficalities of a weak Prince, with out defence, and without the means of canting your voice to be heard !" Lally, on the communication to the Houfe of Commons, that though the fubfidiary treaty with Pruffia could not be carried into execution, it was neceffary that a fum of 300,000 pounds fterling Ihould by granted to his Majetly, the Afeeiteur obferves : " The 300,0001. granted to Pruffia, was intended to excite an intimation in Silefia, and to bring Blucher's corps into the field again.

Our Government is engaged in forming a new fyflem of taxation ; this, it is Paid, will be extremely beneficial for the country, as it will confiderably fa cilitate the difcharge of the public debt ; and though the penfions, annuities, &c. will be regularly paid, there is no idea of bringing paper into circulation again. The public obferve with great fatisfailion that the King is very often prefent at the confer , ences held on this occafion. His MaOky, it is laid, urn the payment of the annuities, &c. in ar rear, as the moil certain mode of reaoring thecredit of the (late. Order being reftored in the Voralberg, a part of the troops have been withdrawn. The affeetion of the 'Fyrolefe for the Hcufe of Auftria has taken a new turn. Several fchools and other ufeful founda tions are to be efiablifhed in this part of the Bavarian territory; and the States of Tyrol are fhortly to fend deputies to Munich, to confult with Minifters upon the belt means of reforming the abufes which have crept into the Government of that country. TRIESTE, JULY ro. The town of Rovigno was yellerday bombarded by an Engin frigate ; the following are the caufes which led to that event :—The Englith frigate took poirelEcn of a bark coming from Abruzzo, laden with wine. The Englith Captain took three failers nut of the bark, and put three of his own men on board, and defired them to make for the port of Lulin. The Captain of the bark, however, inftead of obeying this order, made f-r Port Rovigno, hav• ing previouily made the three Englithmen drunk.— The Englith Captain, having form received informa• tion or this circumftance, fent a flag of truce to Ro• vigor) to demand the bark. The Magiftrate of the town, however, replied, that he could not give up the bark without orders from the Commandant at Cape ; and accordingly he fent a meilinger thither. The Commandant at Cape D'lftria imme diately fent fix gun boats to Rovigno ; but as' loon as the Captain of the Englith frigate law them ap proach, he opened a heavy fire upon Rovigno, and in a (hart time all the hc.tifes fituated near the water fide were converted into a heap of ruins.

" But his Male(ly truth, that the loyal and brave People over whom he reigns are not to be daunted or difheartened. " From the recolleftion of thole difficulties un- der which his People have fuccefsfully ftruggled, and of thole dangers which they have happily fur mounted, his Majefy derives the confolation of be lieving, that the fame fpirit and perfeverance which have hitherto remained unbroken will co ntinue to be _ _ exerted with unabated vigour and fuccefs. " And while his Majefly commands us to repeat the affurances of his eminent readinefs to entertain any propofa Is that may lead to a fecure and honour.. able Peace, he commands us at the (erne time to ez• prefs his confidence that his Parliament and his People will feel with him the nectifity of perfevering in !hoc!, vigorous efforts winch alone can gis4 the charafter of honour to any negotiation, or the ptofpee of feta rity or permanency to any peace.
