GERMAN PAPERS. COPENHAGEN, JUNE s.—The Gazette of this daycontains the following article : On the 3lst ult. An English naval officer, who arrived in the road in a flag of truce, delivered a letter from Mr. Thornton, the English gnvoy at the Court of Sweden, and from (he English Ge- neral Hope, together with another from :the Swe dish Chancellor, Baron Wetterstedt, both dated on board the English man of war, De f iaace, ''utiral Hope, in Kioga Bay. It was at the saute time stated, that the Russian Genet at, Baron Von Suchtelen. was on board the same vessel i . in .or, tier to participate in the negotiations fpr peace,. proposed, on the part of England, in the alreve ‘ Mentioned letter, and for which purposti.the said Envoy and General declared themselves to be pro `, tided with full powers, as was also the Swedish . Chancellor, to treat with regard to the doubtful • relations now subsisting between Denmark and Sweden. Atter what has already been column , nicated to the public upon this subject, his Ma jesty's faithful subjects in both Kingdoms, and in the Dui:hies, will • not he surprised that the .Crown Prince of Sweden, in the name of his Swedish 'Majesty, should represent it as a proof of moderation and disinterestedness, that there is now demanded,. tin the part of Sweden, the cession only of the diocese of Drontheim, with the territory lying between it and the Russian frontier. • They will herein perceive only another proof of those scandalous and oppressive demands, which have lately exposed the inhabitants of Norway to the deprivation of that peaceful condition which prevails among them, and which accords with their common welfare. 'ley 'will feud it no less' in 'compatible with their sentiments, and the national feeling, that a demand was, at the same time, • murk, that 25,00 U Danish troops should be placed under the command of the Swedish Crown Prince, to be employed, in conjunction with those of Swe den and other Powers, 'in the North of Germany, against France. Upon this basis have the Eng , lisp Plenipotentiaries proposed a negociatien for the re-establishment of peace with Great Britain ; at the same time, pointedly observing, that there can be no cessation of hostilities, for the benefit of navigation, unless the Royal troops In Jutland and Holstein are previously placed at the disposal.' of the Swedish Crown Prince. Upon the conclu sion of peace, the colonies are to be restored, but not the island of Heligoland ; nor is Mere to be any indemnification for the loss of the fleet: Every inhabitant of these kingdoths and countries may" .he assured, that - these propositions were, by his Majesty's command, answered in a manner cor `responcling to the nignity of the Crown, and the known interests of his States. The flag of truce . returned from this place in the afternoon of the 2d instant.. It was ordered to wait only 48 hours for an answer. lies Majesty, deeply afflicted at the scarcity .which inevitably resulted from a prolonged de. fensive war, which interrupted the corn trade, .and obstructed the communication between Den mark and Norway, had, as is already known, made proposals of peace to the Government of Great Britain ; but the person who was authorised to deliver them coact, not• obtain tsS 'l'q the proposals which, with the saute view, were transmitted through the medium of the English Envoy in Stockholm fur the information of his Government, nu reasonable objection, can be made, as they claimed the restitution of all that had been taken. from' his Majesty, in consequence .of the unexpected rupture ; or an indemnification for the same, and to guarantee to his Majesty the possessiOn of his States. When two Govern- Meats, after the breaking out. of a • war, unite again, in order to conclude peace, nothing is more -usual than to demand indemnification ; but such demands are not to• be constituted indispeniable preliminaries, without which negociations are not even to take place. It will, on the other band, be remarked, .that the proposals for peace and reconciliation, just made by the agents of the English Government and the Swedish Chancellor, are •entirely • depen dent upon such preliminaries as have no justifica tion whatever in the events .of the war in which Denmark has been involved with England. Both the above-mentioned Governments endeavour to .give their denninds a colour of justice, whilst they, on the contrary, refer to engagements en tered into among themselves, by which the king doll4 of Norway is destined to become subject to tiweden ; as if any obligation upon his Majesty -could thence he derived to fulfil what had been stipulated between his Majesty's enemies and a neighbouring power, Whose Ruler endeavours to separate the two'. kingdoms from each other, whilst he in the mean time subjugates Norway. It is the King's unalter►able determination to maintain the union of his kingdoms-,' Fellow Countrymen ! we will support his Ma jesty's incessant exertions for the independence and welfare of the country ! We will with hint encounter everydangeri and our banner shall be " God and a just cause." Almost insuperable obstruction: have been thrown in the Way of the corn trade to Norway, With the view of weakening the courage of the brave Norwegians,•by the cries of their wives and children for breatl,—hy the want of food for their necessary subsistence. These are the weapons that have been employed against an innocent peo ple, to seduce them into disloyalty to their lawful King, who has been incessantly occ►►pied 'with the means .of relieving their necessities, and who has left nothing untried to restore peace upon 'ho nourable terms,—wht► will not, however, lend a batid to dissever the union of the two" kingdoms, inherited from his ancestors, and which are to him equally dear. The Me'inoirs of Sir Jostz VA I • tri , NoLDS are just re lily for pablieattou.

LON.DON, • 7'11E51)41 7 , JUNI!: 2q, 1141.1: So long ago as Saturday, we were put in pos session of the following intelligence, resting on the authority of a-letter from Gottenburgh, but considered it then, as we do now, to be too ab surd for public credulity. Since, however, it has found its way into all contemporary Paperi, we must consent to copy it for the amusement, not for the' information, of our Readers. It is true that IN'tult we w:sh we readily believe ► but this story appears to be so palpable an attack upon the judgment, that we cannot suffer our desires (strong as they are) to lead us so far astray as to induce us to give it. credit. Indeed, it, seems to have been thrown out from mere whim and fro lick, as a tub for the whale—if so, We must express our disapprobation of the jest, Which goes to throw discredit ,on the Press, and render British Journals, which ought to be distinguished for probity, no More worthy of confidenee . than the fabulous and lying publications of our enemy. Here is the tale of the tub : " Advices are said to have been received from the head_ quarters of the Allied Army of the grealeit importance. Our Readers know that the Armistice was to• continue from the 4th June to the 20th July, and that it has been ratified by lIVONAPARTE.—But it is stated, • that the Emperor of RussiA refused to ratify it, except for f►ftecn , days, and. - that on the condition of Hambnrgh. being evacuated by the French—that, in concert with the Emperor of Ausrnra, he signified to BuorlArmern, that during that period of fifteen dap, the latter ►rust declare whether be would consent to hold a Congress at Prague or at Breslau, to be founded on a certain scheme or basis laid down by Austria, which has for its object the dissolution of the Confederation of the Rhine, and the restoration of the Tyrol,Trieste, Fiume, and the litiorale to Austria—that in the event of an answer being returned in the aflirmati re, a Congrefs shall be held for a Gene ral Peace; butthat in case the answer is in the negative, Austria will immediately join the Allies with 105,000 men, under the Prince of SCHWARTZZNBURG, who is to ~ iebouch upon the , Elbe in two points: 150,000 men, under the Archduke Cliattt.r.s, are also to act in Italy. It is reported that ih/o- NAVARTE having replied to the joint proposals of 'Russia and Austria in the negative, Austria was to put her force in mo tion beforethe 12th a Juice. " Suet; is the impui taut inf9rrnation v..higb has been t r ans. ullttedt " And in addition, it is reported, that reitifateementtiave nearly doubled tho amount of the Russian army,; and that the Allies have actually sent eO,OOO men under Bu Low to join the CILOWN PRINCE, and act under his orders." A most important, • and, in our view of it, a most destructive measure, made some progress in the House of Cornmoos last ►tight. We al lude to the introductiOn of an entirely new sys ,tem into onr Corn Laws. We will confess that there are many parts in the existing state of these laws susceptible of correction and amend-, merit, but the proposition now press'ed by ,Sir ilextyr PARNELL will, if acceded to, have the monstrous effect - ,of f►xing corn at an immovably high price. Pass it into law, and the poor of this country may shut the hope from their hearts that they will ever again see the days of cheap bread for ' their families. By establishing the maximum at which importation . is to be allowed .at 955. per quarter, it would in effect settle that dear and burthensome rate as the minimum of price, and we could 'never expect. to have wheat at a lower sum than 955. per quarter. In dome- - quence of the farmer' recciving.so large an cm° , liniment, the landlord would speedily think him self entitled to raise his rents; and a regular a& vance of price may be anticipated that would bear hard upon . the manufacturing, commercial, and middling classes of the community. While we have a voice to denounce this proposed alteration we. will raise it, in oilier to avert., if in our power, the calamity with which it threatens to visit these who are already enough exposed to, the pressure of these heavy times. The persons whose interest, this new system is intended to promote, are already on the ground of reaping a fair equivalent for their labonrsu— bread and corn, are already dear enough—and no measure which would enhance their ptiee will, we teust, receive the approbation of Parliament. Ministers completely silenced their opponents in the-debate upon the Swedish Treaty, on Friday night. The grounds of objection were so perfectly removed by Lord CASTLBRUAGH'S speech, in the Commons, that the Party were dumb-founded, and could afterwards only muster censure with an if, and condemnation with a. suppose—which ifs and which supposes were very ingenious, but possesseil of this unfortunate trifling imperfection, that they were not founded on fact. But that which re strained even the clamorous voice of a WinT4iaLu), and loweed his brow, has been.found insufficient to stop the rude roar violendelrom the parti- Zat/3 of the dpposition, who conduct their cause through the medium of the press., The invent tivepolicy of securing Sweden - when Denmark turned a dedf ear tp• persuasion, and refused,. as ,she does now, to be conciliated, has met with the sanction and approbation of Parliament, as it bad before done of every man of sound mind, unbiassed by the jaundice of party, in the country. But the _vexation of these persons is not to be concealed, beCause there were many circumstances which concurred to render the Ministerial shield_ of de fence against their attack perfect, which their saga city had not enabled them to penetrate be fore they were triumphantly combinet4 and held up in the Senate to the utter discomfiture of the assailants. The paltry points upon which they- continue to hang their tissue of abuse are almost too insig nificant for notice. They still pretend to doubt the sincerity of the CROWN PRINCE, because, say they, can it be expected Aloft .the EARLY FRIEND of 13UONAPARTE• should become his enemy ? -Let t'wm look into their own hearts, and study with What. rancour and malignity the Early Friends of Princes may be possessed towards those whom they once pretended to love—with what bloodhound thirstiness they may pursue their victim, in the hope 'of ultimately being enabled to run him down. Agttin they say, are you not to look for affection from Denmark, where the- King's nephew reigns ? Weak is the- tie of kindred among the great, and senseless would that states man be who reposed confidence in foreign po tentates, merely because they might be allied to his Sovereign. And why talk of the regard to be expected. from a sister's child of George the Third,' 'when the children of his own wife set . -themselves in array •against when the . BENTS aitti Sugsax's of England unite with the eneniies of his House, in forcing Catho licism upon the Constitution—wkb, the opponents of the principles which seated, and confirm him on the throne—the batterers against his oath and his conscience—the agitators of his Empire, and the insulters of his Representative ? • But if we . could.have entertained a doubt re specting the devotion of Denmark to BUONAPAILTE, that doubt must have been removed by the State Paper from Copenhagen, contained in a preceding column. With an industry worthy of a better cause, a IN - forming Paper has laboured incessantly to mislead the public jedgment on this subject. This appears to us to be very nicked ; for, from the excellent observation of thenriat laded to, their offence must be considered as the offspring of deliberate design, and nor, like their contemporary in the same career, the sheer effect of ignorance. What, for example, can he a more gross perversion of truth than the following ana lysis of the late overture to Denmark ?' • " The offer was simply this,--that Denmark should break her faith to France; should place at the disposal of the CanwN Pat na of SWEDEN an J 3 rm y of 25,000 omen; and in return for this should be indulged with the liberty of ceding 1 to Sweden only the bishoprick of Drontheisn." A single glance at the document will convince the most superficial observer, that a more sys tematic attempt at misrepresentation than is con tained in the above paragraph could not have bed!) made. Every sacrifice in lieu of Drontbeim would be made —compensation and equiValent to satisfy the most rapacious, in exchange for a pos session which the events of every day prove to be vitally necessary to Sweden', as she can make no exertion upon the Continent while her own fron-. tier is exposed, belpless,and without means of resist ance to the invasion of an Agent or Ally. of France. But the secret is out—" it is incompatible with the sentiments and national feeling of Denmark to em ploy troops against France in the North of Germany." Away then to Heaven ! respective lenity ! In God's name, let us have no longer this trifiing.witb our vital interests, like babies playing upon a preci pice, while the gulph yawns, or the torrent rages below. Let us not be infected with these pu»y wranglings and miserable quibbles—these vile attempts to distract and divide us at a moment when. every nerve and energy of, the land ought to be exerted to save us from the machina7 Lions of our enemy, and exhibit Great Britain to the world as its stay in the hour of peril, being strong in the irresistible force of an united, va lorous, and unconquerable people. The allusions made to the state of the Corn Trade in Norway, in the Danish Gazette, teaches us to look for a speedy revolution in that country, in favour of Sweden, which can supply the tarnish ing population with those necessaries of life for which they can no longer depend on their Conti nental mother. The reason assigned for the sudden retreat of TETTENBORN, from if be did not l eave the General informed the Rnlsian Commander, that 1 - laniburgh is, that the Danish place within two bout s, he would be comp e ll e d to do so by the whole Danish force. .
