" Two Packets have also arrived from Holland, and by them we have the very agreeable informati )n of a Treaty of Peace having been concluded between Denmark and this country. Mr. HILLY ADDINGTON. junior, who has been for more than a year at the Head-quarters of the Allied Army, has come by this conveyance, and is generally supposed to be the bearer of the Treaty. He set off in a chaise and four for Loudon, soon after his arrival. 44 Thi Swedish army are on their way to Holland, and the advance is said to have already arrived in that country. The CROWN PRINCE, who was at Kiel when the accounts came away, was represented as being particularly anxious to join the rest of the Allies in carrying on the glorious work of reformation, in re-establishing the Bounsows on the Throne of France. 44 The packets which were employed to carry over Lady CIANCARTE and baggage, are frozen up in the Masse."
