If the accounts which they, contain be true, the;Danish Government is determined to reje& the proPOsitions which have been made on our part. A Letter from ..P..!torta, of the 14th, states, that Mr. JAcKsou, the British Minister, had an interview with the Crown Prince at Kiel, to demand whether. Den- mark intended to declare for or against England, as its neutrality,pwing to the violent. measures adopt ed France . , could no longer be acknowledged." The Prince is said to have declared in reply, that , lie should consider any Power as his,,Enemy that should attempt to violate,his neutrality." ifDembatkhad-the rowans of maintaining her neutrality, this answer would undoubtedly be proper.; but it is well known that . France has both the means and the in clination to force - her to" violate her neutrality : the British GovernMent have therefore • been compelled, upon every principle of self-defence, to adopt the only measure by which:the designs. of France can be' countera6ted. We A 3 .11311 lament if -hOstipties with Blenniark become necessary-i but the % , iolerice,and injustice. of France have left the British Government no alternative.

WE have received New York Papers to the 16th Wt. and it fibres us pleasure to findthat an amicable intercourse has taken place between Captain DopG- As : and a person deputed to wait upon }lint by the Maqistrates of Norfolk.
