Decree. (if Berlin and Milan were in co Kl faith and unconditionally
repealed w ith regard to the United States. He then promised me
he wou!Il do it, and he has performed his promise.

The same Papers state, that the Russian Minister DASH•
lIOFF, having offered the mediation of his Court, to settle
the exiting differences between the United States and. Great
Britain, the PRESIDENT immediately accepted the offer. As
this may have been done nut of mere courtesy, it cannot
justify any sanguinary hopes of a speedy racification with
America. It appears, however, that Mr. MADISON begins
to feel the heavy pressure of the difficulties to which his
blind partiality for France has subjected his Government.
His proposod loan of 16 millions to support the expenses of
the war, has only produced 60,000 &Mars, and the minds of
the people, alarmed by the prospect of invasion and the
threatened desttuction of their sea-port towns, are now more
than ever averse to the prosecution of hostilities. These are
reasons which may at last compel him to think seriously of
megociating a peace.
It was confidently reported last night from the opposite
coast, that kgreat di,turbance had taken place at Amsterdam.
Some troops in the vicinity were called itt to quell it, which
they succeeded in doing., but with difficulty.
Buonaparte passed through Frankfort on the night of the
25th ult. accompanied by Berthier, Caulincourt, and Duroc,
on hi; way to join the French armie."

It appears that the differences between the Courts of
Stockholm and Copen!.a),en had been followed by the recal
of their respective Envoys. and the King of Denmark has
assined. as the ground o f the rupture, his refusal to give
Up the kingdom of Norway to Sweden, in exchange for cer-
tain places and ten itories bordering on Holstein ; namely,
the I lan,eatic Towns, His Majesty has published a procla-
mation, appealing to the loyalty and pat, iotism of the Danes
against hieing obliged to accept these terms.
Advices of the 27th nit from Alicar.t state, that great un-
easine,s had been felt there in conssquence of intelligence
Teceived from Sicily, which it was apprehended wound re-
guile 'tit retu' n of the troops to that quarter. SUCHET'S
forces were encamped along the line from Fuente Dehiquera
to St. Felipe, and the British were stationed from Castella
to Alcoy. The news by the Malta mail, which brought let 7.
tersfrom thence to the 18th ultimo, removes in a great
measure these apprehensions. The Queen of SICILY had
insti:,,ated her hu,band to issue a Proclamation, abrogating
the powers, which, with the concurrence a the English
(ommander, bad been conferred on the PRINCE ROYAL.
This step was intended, by some of the French agents about
the QUEEN, to lead to a revolution. It was, therefore, met
by a prompt degree of energy on the part of Lord W.
BENTINCK. The QUEEN and the disturbe:s of the public
peace weie compelled to leave the island, the KING to re-
place his son in all the power which he enjoyed under the
New Constitution, and general tranquillity was restored.
