Accounts have been this morning received from Ostend, that the John Adams has sailed from thence for America for fresh instructions, the American Ne gociators finding themselves deficient in their powers to meet the actual state of affairs in Europe. We are enabled to present our Readers to-day with some Official Documents respecting Norway, of con siderable interest. They tend to increase our Appre hensions that Norway will not become a fief of Swe den until much blood has been fruitlessly shed---we, say fruitlessly, because we cannot conceive it possible that the Norwegians can withstand the united forces of the Allies, even if every heart was unanimous in the cause which the Diet, or States of the Kingdom, have called that of liberty and independence. It is evident, however, from the complexion of all the re cent intelligence from Norway, that unanimity does not prevail ; and besides, a foolish not;on has been taken up by the leading political characters there, that England, either by the voice of her population, or by her Government, secretly favours the cause of the Norwegians : this is an unhappy delusion, which the precipitate return of the Deputies who were sent in vain to London to open negotiations, Must have by this time removed. However great the diversity of opinion respecting the points mooted between Norway and the Allies, there is one point in which all who peruse the present documents must be agreed, namely, in conceding to Frince CHRISTIAN FREDERICK a high character for firmness and unshaken resolution. The dangers around him are great—his enemies awfully formi dable, by sea and land; aad yet there is no departure from principle, no intemperate threats of deSance, and no idle gasconade of annihilating his invaders. to be gathered from any part of his diplomatic inter course. The first piece in this collection of State Papers, is a Note from the Allied Plenipotentiaries, in which they.propose a suspension of hostilities, on condition that Prince Cuiturrime shall resign the Crown to the Diet, thus submitting to something like a new elec. Lions to this Prince CHRISTIAN consents ; but he strongly remonstrates against putting certain Norwe gian fronti-ers,adinterim,into the hands of the Swedish army ; for he insinuates, and really with great ap pearance of reason, that the election of the Diet can no longer be that of freemen, if their country is occu pied by foreign troops. He seems gbite confident.of his re-election, if the Diet is allowed to deliberate un influenced by tile presence of an armed force, and he will consider himself inseparably linked with the de stinies of Norway, " in tbe event of a brave, though useless resistance, against the united forces of Europe." In short, the whole Correspondence exhibits pain ful evidence of the determination of Prince Citalsria:v ultimately to dare the Allies to subjugate the country by force of arms ; and most assuredly he appears to be one of those decided characters who is not to be trifled with. We regret, for the sake of the repose of Europe, that he did not make his debut at an earlier period, and on a more glorious and more extensive field :—a single sprig of laurel gained on the plains of Leipsic, would have been a better title to the throne of Norway, than the Decrees of a thousand Diets, composed of well-meaning, but, perhaps, unenlight ened Patriots. A Hamburgh 'Mail arrived this morning.. The intelligence which it conveys from the seat of war in Norway is by no means of a pleasing nature. All attempts nt further nerciations seem to have failed, and the Nov wegians have retired into their fastnesses. To admit that the Swedes have as yet defeated them, would be an anticipation. The King of PitusstA has reached hii own capital, and, with the-modesty inse parable from the character of true dignity, has de clined all the festivals which the citizens were pre. paring for his individual honour and gratification. His MAJEZTY will permit his warriors to participate in such honours as their fellow-citizens may confer on them, and will be present merely as the head of the army and the chief of the nation, to witness the festival.—We subjoin the following extracts from the German Papers : BERLIN, AUGUST 1. This morning, at hall-?ast nine, we had the happi ness to see our beloved Sovereign, after the happy termination of the war, return to his city. His. Majesty was not expected till the ith, for which day the love of his people had made several preparations for the solemn reception of their Mo narch. Unexpectedly his Majesty came to-day, and bad alighted at his Palace before the inhabitants of the capital had any information of it. His Majesty immediately sent far the Ministers and chief Civil Sod Military Authorities of the capital, and declared to them, th:it "he hid cortic softer than he was ex pected, because he had heard. of the preparations made to r,•ceive him ; that the Prussian nation and capital t‘ id is these latter years, by great exertions and sacrifices, by perseverance and cheerful perfor mance of arduous duties, given him proofs of love, and true attachment much more agreeable to his heart than any other marks of it, and for which he even at this moment cordially thanked his good people. - . " But that Lis Majesty must decline all ceremonies attended with external pomp, it being contrary to his character and his principles to accept homage of this nature, as his subjects had frequently had occasion to learn. " On the other hand, if the grateful country chose to give the Army and its glorious Chiefs a testimony of acknowledgement for its services by the intended ceremony, his Majesty would willingly be the first to join in this just sentiment, which did honour to the nation ; and on this supposition, would not only ap prove of the intended preparations, with some changes, but would assemble round him the Generals in Chief now at Berlin, particularly the worthy Field-Marshal Prince Blucher, and with them conduct into the capital the Royal Guards (who arrived on the 3d at 'Potsdam), who on this occasion may be considered as the worthy representatives of their brethren in arms, and as a deputation from the whole army." According to this arrangement of his Majesty, the ceremony will take place on the 7th, and be conclud ed with Divine Worship and a 7e Dean:. BERLIN, AUGUST 5. On the 3d the King's Birth-day was celebrated in various ways. The University conferred the title of Doctor of Philosophy on Princes Hardenburg and Blucher Generals Bulow, Tauenzien, York, Kleist, and Grielsmau. The entertaintre as given by the Es • change and by the Lodge Royal York, were among the most splendid. As the Prussian Guards entered Halle, the Sal . makers there, dressed out fc r the occasion, jumped, according to ancient custom, into the river Saale, to testify their jly. FRONTIERS OF NORWAY, SLYLY 47. Prince Christian was on the point of setting out for the army. The Norwegian cruizers have again made several Swedish prizes. but the Swedes have also taken many vessels bound to Norway. - COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 2. On the 26th ult. the four Commissioners of tl e Allied Powers set out from Uddewalla to return to Christiana, probably to make a last attempt towards an amicable arrangement. [Here follow the ac counts of the comniencement of hostilities, the re treat of the Norwegians, the occupistion of the Hvalo Islands, and the King of Sweden's Proclama tion, but no mention is made of the success of the attack on the Kragero and the reported capture of the Norwegian gun-boits.] ST. PE fERSBURCH, JULY 20. On the 22d of June (0. S.) died here, after a sickness of some days, the Princess of 'Parent, remark able for her virtues and for her attachment to the Royal Family of France. She found in Russia an asylum, and had the good fortune to acquire the favour and protection of the Russian Monarchs, yet she ceased not to lament the measures of her country, of which, however, PROVIDENCE permitted her to see the ter mination. To the 24th July 215 ships arrived here and at Cronstadt. HAMBURGH, AUGUST 5. The exchange on London is 32. 8. at two months. A letter from Buenos Ayres, dated June 9, brought by the Ceorge Canning, says--46 Montevideo is ex pected to fall every day, which will make a wonder ful change in business for the best; in case it does, of which there is scarcely any doubt, the troops now before Montevideo will be sent up to Peru, and clear the country of the Lima troops, and we shall have trade with both sides of the River." Accounts have been received from Caraccas, dated in June, inclosed in letters from the Island of St. Thomas, of the sth of July, by which it appears, that subsequent to the victory obtained by the Revolu tionary Party; on the 28. h of May, a very different course of events occurred, which re-established the supremacy of the Royalists, and entirely changed the face of affairs. The substance of these transactions is communicated to us in the following terms The act of imprudence committed by the army of the Royalists, which led to their defeat, was the attack they thought proper tomake prior to the arrival of reinforcements, which were within a few. days march of them. The victory obtained by the Revo lutionists, on the 28th of May, was succeeded by the separation of their forces into three distinct columns, which were met by the Royalist General Boves.— This Commander, who had under his orders the re inforcements above alluded to, completely routed, in detail, the divisions of the Revolutionists, and was approaching the gates of Caraccas. Under these cir cumstances, the Revolutionary Authorities in that Capital, imposed an Embargo on all the English mercantile vessels, in order, to accomplish their own escape, with their effects, should such a measure be come expedient. The British being dissatisfied with this proceeding, and considering their property in dan ger, sent a vessel to the Island of St. Thomas, im ploring the Governor to give them assistance; and he so far complied with their request, as to dispatch the Barossa, to contribute to their protection. The ship left the Island on the Ist of July, and no father particulars had been obtained subsequent to its de , parture.". ARIGHTW., AUGUST 11. W . edne•day Evening, I lalf past Seven o'Clo(k.. The PniNce ItzoeNT is this instant arrived. His Royal Highness caine in his travelling c frriag , , with post horses, attended by Colonel BthomrieLn, and was received, on his entering the Pavilion, by the Duke of CLARENCE, who preceded his Royal Brother about an hour. A troop of the lOth Hussars, under the command of Captain TURNER and Lieut-nanfs SEYMOUR and RTMIARDSON, and two cornpanies of the 3d Foot, under the Command of Captain LATHAM, Lieutenant WALLACE, and Ensign Bumf, took t"e'r stations on each side of the North Gate of the i' . :vi. lion, and as the carriages entered, severally saluted their Highnesses by presenting arms and lowering the colours, the band of the latter playing GOD Save the Masi. Dinner for the Royal Party is ordered for nine o'clock. In the Morning the PRINCE'S Band came down, and nine artillery waggons with baggage. The number of persons assembled on the Graud Pa rade, to see his Royal Highness, was considerabl.— Both the PRINCE itEGENT ai4d Duke of CL.tazticz ap peared in high health and spirits. The Birth-day of his Royal Highness the PRINCE RESENT, on Friday last, was celebrated at Plymouth with the usual demonstrations of joy ; the guns of the citadel and bat eries, together with the ships in har bour, were fired on the occasion, and a review of the several Regiments in Garrison, consisting of the ISd and 95th, w►th the South Cork and Royal PerthsLire M►litias, took place ors Mount Wise, by Major Gene ral BROWNE, which fired a feu de joie, and gave three hearty cheers. In the evening there Was a grand Ball at the Royal Hotel, which was numerously at tended by all the rank and fashion in the neighbour hood. The Marquis of SALISBURY, oa Friday last, the 12th instant, in honour of the Birth-day of the PRINCE REGENT, gave a supper, at the Salisbury Arms, to the principal inhabitants of Hatfield, and farmers in the neighbourhood. The Hertfordshire Band at tended ; many loyal toasts were drank with great en thusiasm, and the evening passed off to the entire sa tisfaction of all present. Fifty-two sat down to supper, a number corsesponding with the age of his Royal Highness. This is the true way to diffuse and keep up a spirit of loyalty 1 • A complimentary Address has been voted, at a Meeting of the County of Londonderry, to Lord STEWART, on his retiring from the representation, io consequence of his elevation to the peerage : to which his Lordship returned an appropriate answer, in which he mentions his rewards as far greater" than his " deserts," and received 44 at the hands of the hest of Princes." The Marchioness of SALISBURY and Lady GEOR• GINA Ciao, are expected to leave Hatfield in a few days for Paris. The Duke of Rirtnrown, it is said, intends to re main on the Continent with his family during three years ; for which term the Duke of ‘VELLINGTON has taken the mans:yin of Goodwood, near Chichester : hence it is interred by some that the Duke of WEL LINGTON is not to remain long at Paris. Private lettcrs from France state, that it is perfectly ascertained dint Dautzic is to be restored to Prussia, and that almost the whole of Prussian Poland is to be a•mexed to the Kingdom or Viceroyalty of Polamt, which is to be immediately connected with the Prus sim Empire. Not withstanding the late Decree, any person at Paris may, on paying '25 francs, obtain permission to work on Sunday. This indul#nce excites a particular sensation among the public. The Margravine of ANSPACII is returned to Brighton from France. Mr. and Lady CAROLINA LAMB, will leave Brocket Hall in a few days for Paris. Last week, Sir THOMAS CLAMING arrived at his seat at Atwell Park, from France, where he has been detained a prisoner since the peace in ISM.— Three of his children accompanied him. • The Hon. FREDERICK ROBINSON is shortly to lead to the hymeneal altar, the Honourable Miss HOBART, daughter to the Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. The Right Honourable GEORGE ROSE is arrived at the Hague, probably to consult with Lord CLAN. CARTY, the Biitish Ambassador there, as to a Corn. mercial arrangement between this country and Hol land. The Eall of ASHBURNNAM is expected in town to. morrow from his seat in Sussex. It is.now said that the PRINCE REGENT of Poirru- CAL has determined not to return to Europe until the nett spring. The bounty of PftovflANCE so far prevails over the barbarity of man, that the German provinces which suffered by the late war arc already beginning to recover their former state. The King of BAVARIA has made a present of the fine Lordship of Ellingen, in Franconia, to Marshal Prince WREDE, to enable him to support the dignity lately conferred on him. This estate produces a yearly revenue of about 100,000 florins. A grand entertainment was given to Lords litu. and COMBERMIRE, at Chester, on the 15th instant. The City made a Corporative Procession on the occa sion, and the Deputy Mayor addressed the two Noble Lords in an appropriate speech. A dinner was given to about 200 persons. The table for their Lordships was placed on a platform ; they sat under a crimson canopy : the Deputy Mayor in the centre, with Lord litt.t. on his left, and Lord CODIBERbIERE on his right. The canopy was elegantly f. rmed and fitted up. 'At the top were placed a couple of sheathed sabres, with ' a dove in the centre, holding an olive branch in . its mouth. At e.7.cli corner was the figure of a French eagle inverted, and over them the triumphant fl:gs of England. The armerial bearings of the Noble Lords were placed behind each of their chairs. 'The music gallery was decorated with laurel and flowers, and gift ornament's, excellently executed. . The front of the lictel was decorated with laurels, firmer% and the flags of England. The carriage in which the gil litnt Noblemen were cconve)ed was lined with crim son : at the back were the arms of each, and the the Prince's plume. The bridge-gate was covered with laurels and flowers; along the top were the words—" Brave Warriors, welcome Salamanca —Almartz."—"EuropeLiberated !" • 02, 0 612150_,Ae_ . • N477AL IYTBiLIGEICCIT.

Arrived, in twelve hours from Colchester, after a delightful passage, the MARIA YACtit,Capt. HOWARD, with forty passengers and three cirriager. On :fri day the MARIA will sail (or Colchester, and return from thence to this port on Tuesday ni.xt. On Wednesday, at five in the af!ernonn, a-rived. at North-fleet, his Majesty's ship Nci.soas, of 120 guns, under the command of Captain ThomAs Bus- To::. It was a mint gratifying sight to thousands of anxious Spectators, including the inhabitants (.f Woolwich and its environs, assembled At the Dock yard and Arsenal, to witness the departure, and to take leave of their favourite, NELSON. The moment she was cast off, they gave her duce cheers; AMt with all sail set, a fresh breeze carried !ler in majestic ,stylein safety to her, mum ings, where she w as greeted by many, %;110, with equal anxiety and curiosity, had collected in expectation of her About four o'clock on Wednesday morning, 'some villains found means to enter die vestry.roun of Pad dington Church, and took away two large deal chests, containing the parish records, accounts and plate.— As soon as the robbery was discovered, the parish officers attended at Bow-street, and gave information to Mr. Thrum, the Sitting Magistrate, stating that it was not the plate they were anxious about, that being only plated, and therefore of little value, but they were anxious to recover the papers, which consisted of the parish records and accounts for three hundred years past, and which, if I: , st, could not be replacAl. The Magistrate, from* the circumstances attending the rob bery, suspected the thieves were not persons of expe rience in their profession, and dispatched Taunton to endeavour to trace them, and recover the lost property. Taunton, in going to the spot, found that the villains had entered the vestry-room by means of a skeicton key. He also succeeded in tracing the thieves from place to place, till he at length discovered them in an outhouse at no great distance from the Church, The chests had been opened, and the thieves, deceited by the glittering appearance of the plated plate, had taken it away, but the records remained, and were restored to the parish officers. At the Cornwall County Meeting 1 ist week, at which an Address was voted to the RECANT on the Peace, the question whether the County Meetings should be composed of all taxed inhabitants, or only of Nobility, Clergy, Gentry, and Freeholderi, occa- . sioned some discussion. A requisition for a meeting at large had been signed by great numbers, 'but re fused by the High Sheriff. Lord De Dtniarrilott tee contended that such meetings were contrary td usage, and that it would be difficult to ascertain• tato wire persons not paying cases, since every' one paid t.ixes either directly or on articles of consumption. Hence a County Meeting would ct:nsist of the whore popu lation, it would be in: its worst sense untvehal suf frage; for as the populace would not ceniefroin dis tant parts, the genie of theCouaty nouldipiassunied by the mob of the tow,. where the auritingAas held. He insisted, that County ts leeti a rs should ConsisL cf the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Freeholders. A public meeting, he maititApetl, should possess apt only the power to decide, but the ability to deliberate on the subjects brought before it ; and woollany one belie that a meeting composed of all tf.at paid taus was competent to such deliberations' CORN mAstKan NIARIC-LANH.
