WEDNESDAY. MAY 14

Yesterday two overland Packets were received at
the East-India House in the co-11e of the dry,
which hi ing a confirmation of the intelligence of a
Treaty of Peace having been acttsally conciu.ied
with Sornnra. They farther state, that li,t.xAa
had sent Vakeels cer the 23,1 December, v, General
Lord Lane, to negaciate, or rather supplicate a
Peace, upon the terms which his Loirdsiip
rl,:nk proper to p-opose. It is,expecied therefore, that
all differences would be speedily adjusted, and that
a permment Peace would enctre. The letters an.
pouncing this desirable event are dated the 29th -:f
.January. It is said, all lioticaa's followers had
deserted him.

The liamburgb Mail, due on Sunday, arrived
Testerday.—Tt contains intelligence of consijerable

importance from Berlin, to the 4th instant. On
the 30th of April, an extraordinary Council of
State was held at Potzdam, which was atte::ded by
Count Harrow:Tx. The difference with Sweden
wa. the iutijett of discuision, and the advice of the
perfidious Hacovriva appears to have prevailed.
As soon as the Council broke up, several
regiments received orders to hold themselves in
readiness to march at an hour's notice. Of these,
the Regiment of Arnin, and several battalions of
infantry, set out from Berlin, on the 3d of May,
for the frontiers of Pomerania. The veteran Field
Marshal MOLLZISDAIFF, who is to crrnmand the
expedition, had previously taken his departure from
that pit'. The corps of Lieutenant-General K•LIL-
II [UT H. if to be joined by regiments from the
garrisons of Reinsberg, Stettin, &c. andall the
other Pi ussiau Regiments upon the War establish-
ment hourly espeaed nrders to marzh. Mr. JACK-
son appears to Live delayed his departure from
Berlin, until the Councils of Prussia had taken this
decided turn. He left Berlin on the sth, and ar-
rived on Monday in the Ariahe frigate, at Yar-
mouth, from which place he came to town yester-
day.

We lately stand that the answer from St. Peters•
burgh, which is to decide tl.e fate of Caws°, was
a4t t peacd at Vienna until about the 17th instant.
111 the mean time the RISISiSiII are extending them-
selves in Dalmatia ; are arming and crganising the
iehabiunts ; and have lately taken possession of the
island of Curvsla, nearly opposite Ragusa,
The Fecm;la Government bate, as proprietors of

Woke, claimed of the Porte all the possessions in
Turkish lialmatia and Albania, which !relented to
the Republic of Venice.
The corps of Marshals &WV'', Nty, BARNA-
PAVOUST, and VAN Daw 515, remained on
the 24th in their respective quarters in Germany,
and the works for fortifying Braunau were still
continued. It is now said, that the eracuatiert of
that place by the French, is not connected with the
business of the Mouths of the Catarro, and that it is,
with the District cf the Inn, to form a Duchy or
Margraviate for some favourite of BON APASTE.
Private letters from Italy state, that the French
bad attempted to carry Gaeta by assault, but bad
been repulsed with loss. Marshal SOULT'S corps
bad received orders to march Int Italy ; a circum-
stance which, if we had not abundant other proof,
would show that the Freed) have met with an un-
expefled opposition in that quarter.
A letter from the Hague-, dated April 29, says—
" Several French Generals have arrived hire. The
camp of Z•:yst will again be octopied by French and
Batavian troops. Report sparks also of proilts for
-an expedition ageinst England, in ca.e the .negoci•
airons between France and r. nglatid 111,11151,-not
•
lead to any result."

We have received P.iris Papers to the 7th. They

tains Lugs and ',rimier, wl.o were taken pri-
soners at the Battle of Trafalgar, and had lately re-
turned from liagland.

pressure to obtain admission into the Court exceeded
that of any preceding day So early as eight o'clock
every avenue was blocked up. Nut fewer than Soo
females. elegantly dressed. were assembled about
the doors. even at that early hour. In consequence
of a !meta order 'of the LOllO CH ANISIEALAIN.
the doors were not allowed to be opened until
after nine o'cl,ck, to the great annoyance of the
Ladies, many of shorn had deserted their car-
riers, and were obliged to stand in the mud, under
Leary rain, fur nearly halt an hour. On I.V open-
ing of the doors tire pressure we. very alarming ;
bat we have not heard ct any serious injury having
been suffereh by any person in the crowd.• Before
ten o'clock every part of the Court was completely
filled; and wh.ie hundreds took their station upon the
stairs, att./ along the difFerent passage., in the for-
lorn hope of gaining adaussion at some period of
the day, nearly as many as would fill the Halls re-
tired in de-pair.
The attendance of Peers and Commoners was
very numerous ; soon after eleven o'clock the for-
mer entered the Court, in the usual form. His
Royal Highness the Prince of Mates, and all the
Royal Dukes, were present.
The Court mow/ling bad cast a reorder hue in the
course of Last week, over the Peeress*? gallery, but
a change having taken place hi the mourning.
that part of the Court shone yesterday with con-
siderable lustre. The number of Peeresses was also
very great. Mr. PLOMtli commenced the rfeferce
