" A certain German Newspaper, which has, for
a long time, been in the habit of representing the
conduct of .the Prussian Government in an unfa-
vourable light, has recently been pleased, upon two
occasions, is offer iG speculations to the pnbl:r.
upon the supposed disturbances to be apprehended
in the North of Germany. It is high time that
they should be contradicted, in tha moat positive
manner, as being totally unfounded. There sub-
sists the best, the most intimate understanding be-
tween Russia and France; and it is in the highest
degree probable, that the Emperor Alexander, and
the Miui.ter of State, Count Romansuw, are too
strongly attached to the general Coutineutal system
for comfit:Ml.4 England to make peace, to suffer
any relaxation in the ties which unite the two coun-
tries. The marriage of a Princess of Ansttia with
the Emperor Napoleon, was previously made known
at St. l'eter.burgh, and was there considered a po-
sitive pledge of the permanency of the peace of the
Continent. The war of Russia against the Turk..
which has cost her so much blood and treasure, may
now. if Russia is only so disposed, be speedily
brought to a conclusion. How, then, in this state of
good understrucling between the three Imperial
Courts, is it possible, that Prussia, lying between
these three great powers, should do any thing to
disturb the public troriquillity, or which might give
cause of dissatisfaction to one of them

" The contraband trade alleged to have been car-
ried on through our states, may be very easily ex-
plained.—Towards the close of the summer of 1909,
the Danish privateers 'eased to interrupt the Ame-
rican flag; after which, several under that flag, and
belonging to that nation, arrived at Colberg, with
cargoes of colonial produce, as they did in Tonnin.

distant.

" These American vessels passed the Sound,
and regularly paid the toll there, after being
'searched. and their papers examined. Now, every
man, who know■ the strict execution of orders in
the Danish ports, and the scrupulous attention
there exercised, to in-ire the total exclusion of
English commerce, a ill readi!y conclude. that the
vessels in question Mire been most unjustly deno-
minated ' supposed, or pretended North Americans.'
They came to Colbere, in preference to sailing to

warehouses, on account of its greater proximity to
Saxony, at present the centre of commerce in
Germany.

" liut the instant oar Sovereign, who was turn
resident at Koningsberg, received information of
this trade, the most appropriate and rigorous mea-
sures were taken to prevent its continuance ; and
the French Government,which has been completely
informed tit this sitliect, has fully approved of
the measures adopted; so that this *flair, so long
put to rest, has been very improperly, amid not
with the be., faith, revived in the German Papers
above alluded to."

BERLIN, MARCH 8.
Several Newspapers in the South of Germany,
and the French and oilier Journals copying from
them, have incorrectly stated, that the warehoures
of Colberg are completely filled with colonial pro-
duce imported by a number of pretendedAtnerican
vessels. The impure origin and aim of such state-
ments are obviously maidest.

The truth is, that American colonial goods, and,
Utterly, • few cargoes from Riga, have arrived at
Colberg; that two ves+els, laden with the same
description of eommodities have been under deten-
tion fur some months, and as ill, most probably, af-
ter the pending inquiry, be condemned ; that here,
as in the interior of Germany, and in France, we
are not in absolute want of sugar and coffee ; that
these articles, however, are here, as well as there,
at a high price ; sod that the vessels importing
them, are carefully examined by the French and
Prussian Officer. thereto authorised. What is fur-
ther stated on this subject in the neasrpers is en-
tirely the invention of heedle.s or evil-disposed per-
sons, as is evinced by the orders given some weeks
ago by His Majesty, for the re-establishment of the
Commercial Commissariat.
