The iloseitear of the 7th inst. ant supplement
annauml, sustain a reply, in the form of a series of
Notes, to His Marzeres Declaration in answer to
that of Russia. A similar answer sas given to His
BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S Declaration against Den-
mark, in the Mori/err, in which it was ascribed to a
Dane ; but, on the present occasion, Rom %parry,
throwing off all delicacy and disguise, stand. forward
es answer for Russ;a, Denmark, awl all the rest
of his vassals, and the article sets nut with de-
claring, that it is up** authority. It dis-
plays a good deal of ingenuity and strength
of argument, particularly on that part of the
Declaration in which His MAJESTY is made to pro-
fess a knowledge of the nature of secret engage-
ments affecting this country, imposed upon Rue-
Ia in the conferences at Tilsit. But the last note,
the 17th, is by Bathe most important, as, not cos-
tuming itself to a refutation of assertions, it ex-
tends to a disclosure of the future views of BOMA-
N/MT& in relation to peace. It says, " that as
we have declared the last negociation broke off
upon pints affecting the interest of Russia, and that
obstacle to peace no longer exists, why then do we
continue the war? " This questinu is put with an
•oir of triumph, as if it carried with it its own answer ;
but nothiag can be more fallacious. had the re-
