LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 13,

The correspondence betwcen this country and
France, carried on •for some time, indirectly, '
through the medium of the Austrian Ambassadors,
at Paris and Loudon, is, ,rte uridena.and, entirely
broken off, and nothing now remains to be done,
but to prosecute the war with all our energies.—
The Count de MIER, who returned with dispatches
on Tnesilay se'nuight, in a flag of truce from
Calais, yesterday left the house of Prince F./F.
TERIIAZY, in ThAyor-street, Manchester-square.
for Dover, where he will embvk on board •
s tide' waiting there to convey him to Fratite.—
le brings with him a.: mistier, which, it is suppswedp•
will put an end to all communication between the
two countries.—Mr. Ct.tve, who lately came from
Vienna on parole, will Like his passage, with his
wife and two children, in the untie vessel with the
Count de Mica.

We have received New York papers to the
15th List, containing the proceedings in t'oo-
gress, Ito far us they have been sttgered to be
published, to the loth. The Act prohibiting
the importation of certain goods, ware*, and

merchandixes, of England and her Colonies.
into the United States, became operative 'and wits
enforced on the 14th. This Act, which has excited
so Much interest in the commercial world, received
the sanction of the Executive upon the l eth April,
1806, and was to take effect on the 15th of No-
vember, in the same year, but was susp..nded to the
present time, in expectation of an amicable adjust-
ment of the differences between the two countries.
Private letters from Igew York, dated the 14th,
state, that on the morning of that day, the Mails
from the South arrived,- bringing the important
intelligence, that a great majority of the House of
Representatives had determined to put the Act in
immediate force, with jeered sew classes; but
this, we apprehend, is a mistake. A Supplemental
Bill was brought into that House, and made the
order of the day fnr the 10th; but it professed to be
merely a Bill to prevent the numerous difficulties
that must necessarily arise out of the Act in its
present defective state. Besides, admitting
a Supplemental Bill, containing such clauses,
to have been prosecuted with the utmost

expedition, we do not believe it could have
been passed so as that it should be known at
New York on the morning of the 14th. Some
private accounts speak confidently of an amicable
adjiistment of the dispute between England and
America, a feeling which appears to have been
encouraged, if lint entirely produced, by the extra-
vagant tone which It is dudenitecAl Bow •PAILTE
has assumed towards that country. The Revenge
schooner, Captain READ, arrived at New York
on the 12th, in twenty-six days from Cl.erlourgh,
charged with important dispatches for Govern-
ment, and on the next day he set out foe Wash-
ington.—Captain RaAo reported, that 80%
PAIRTL had declared he would allow so sutitru!A,

. and that if At nerica should after al.;iven period send
a Minister to England, he would consider it equi-
valent to a Declaration of War.—lt is also ,aid,
that M. Ty flimsy, the French Minister to the
United States, had demanded that America sherd('
shut her ports against England. We hope there
is some truth in these reports, as such language
lutist tend to promote a reconciliatioo between this
country and, the United States.
The Mertl, BLAND, is arrived at Liverpool,
from Norfolk, in 2.5 days. Mr. Moues arrived
there the day before she sailed, viz. December 13.

We yesterday announced the arrival of Ave of
the eight Cottenbitrgh Mails due. Since which,
another, the first of the series, has also arrived. An
order has been issued at Copenhagen, requiring all
letters for a foreign place to be minutely inspected
before they are received at the Danish Post Offices.
This order is for the more effectual prevention of
all correspondence between England and the Con-
tinent. The Swedish Minister at Copenhagen
has been arrested ou suspicion of being impli-
cated in some correspondence of this kind.—
The French troop• have been ordered to e►acuate
MeeklenbuFg Schwerin, w►th the exception of a sin-
gle laittalion that remains at Rostock to prevent any
commerce with 'England. The two Danish ships of
the line that lately arrived at Copenhagen from Nor-
way, have proceeded to the Baltic. AU the younger
branches of the Royal. F•sti ix of DENBIAILK have
returned to Copenhagen. Private letters from Stock-
bolsi, of Ile 19th tilt. state, that the K r a 4; had arrived
at his capitalfrom Gottcuburg. lie was received
with entity expression of joy and loyalty, and there
wereilluminations two nights. Letters from Gut.
tenbaegh, of the 30th ult. assert, that Russia and
Denmark are both sedulous iu their endeavours to
persuade the KING to join them in the league
against Greiat Britain.

We gave yesterday the Resolutions of the Lord
Provost and Meeting of Merchants and Manufac-
turers of Glasgow.
These Resolutions, if not a direct declaration in fa-
vour of peace, are certainly a direct declaration in
favour of moderation, which we are happy to hail.
We were struck with the difference of the tone of
these Resolutions from that of the advertisement of
thetLortl I'rovnst calling this meeting. Upon in-
(miring, we final that this has arisen oat of a com-
promise. From the spirit of the advertisement it
appeared. that the object of the Gentlemen who,
called the meeting, war to get an eulogiutn upon llis
Meassev's Ministers voted, with an Address to the
Kt"! o. encouraging a continuation of war. These
Gentlemen wire given to understand. however, that
the public was not dispte.ed to take up a pa.iy
question, and still leis to vote any Address that
me ht operate as a bar to negoriation. They were
told, that if they persisted in their plan, an amend-
ment would be moved and carried against them.
But that if thee would withdraw the obnoxious
matter, anal introduce into their Itesolutions
