HA.2,IIyRCH, FEB. 7.—Representations of a very insolent nature have, it is said, been Made by the French Government to the Daiiish Court. Their principal objed is to exclude the English from the .ports of the Baltic by shtitting tip the Sound. Den mark has given a decided negative to this demand, and applied f or t h e mediation of Ruisia, which has been granted. In the mean time it is in contem. plation to train the whole population of the Dutchies of Holstein and Schleswic to the use of arms, that they may he ready to re , ,ist any hostile attempt on the part of the FIRST CONSUL. The Pete - riburgh letter s of the "zoth tilt, confirm the ;tectints of great movements taking place among the Russian troops, which are chiefly direded to the We• tern Frontiers.

The EMPEitOR, however, insists upon the status Quo. Upon the whole, the Gernian-Em pire is as much divided as ever ; and very little prospect appears of a speedy and entire pacification of its jarring parties.
