A Gottenburgh and a Coranna Mail arrived this morning ; the former of the date 9th March, the lat ter the 241, from which we have taken the most im portant articles. BY the intelligence from the North there is no event detailed of a decisive character. The whole taken together confirms what we have more than suspected, add which we hoped to have been able to prove, by authentic information, that every Power on that part of the Continent is sincerely disposed to Peace. We should be glad we could flatter ourselves that the affairs of England were governed by men of that character, as Statesmen, that should it not be tho:ight advisable to fall in with the terms pro posed by the mediating power. we might pre vent the odium of encouraging perpetual war from being thrown upon us. As we before ob- 6u res.

Far be it from us to depress that hope s: hich is now rising like the thermometer on return of summer; but as the keenness of dissp. pointment is proportioned to the extravagance of ex. i pectation, we would not fill the glass to intoxication. i Dantzic, that great desideratum to the complete suc cess of the Russian campaign, is now arknowledtd to be still in French hands : to wrest it. from them, would be the sum mum bonunt of all our sincere Allies is the whole circle of Germany. But the ac counts from the quarter concerned, assure us it can not hold out long, and we would fain believe them. The Corunna Papers speak of considerable bodies from the Peninsula towards valry might be transferred from, another, where the enemy so want of them, we can easily ima.. i doubts, however, of infantry in 4,000 and 17,000 being detached , and, to BONAPARTE, so valuable The same Papers speak also of a seitish army ; but the last dis. ord Wos.Ltscprom (of a tem days true) ; make no mention 444, Wad, PRINCESS OF IK4LES.

Many of the French doun niers have been killed at Hatnburgh ; and it is said, that in Hanover, at least 20 2 000 of the peasants are . so arms. No amounts have yet been received of the fall of Dantsic, but it appears from the last accciunts, that the. commanding works are taken, and its Surrender inevitable. COPENHAGEN, MARCII 13.—A Danish brig Is or. dered to be fitted ontimmediately • for a person of distinction, supposed for England. Riots' continue in Hamburgh, &c. Dantzic was not taken on the 27th al ; but its surrender was liour:y expected.
