I,F.Act n ITlr DENATATIIt.
Late on Wednesday evening two Danish Officers reached
town from Grimsby, in Lincolnshire, where they were
landecifrom a Danish sloop of war, bearing a Flag of Truce.
One of these GentlmeM is Captain LuTxtsts, son of the
Danish Admiral of that name. Copenhagen tench, which
announced his de;atture, stated that the object of his mission,
wag to procure the ratification of a Treaty of Peace, the
terms of which had been alteady settled with Lord CATH-
CART. It is stated, however, that by this treaty, Denmark
only binds herself to neutrality, not hostility towards the
enemy. in this situation Denmark would obtain the advan-
tages once possessed by the United States of America, and
become the only medium of commercial intercourse between
the Belligerents. In consequence of this change in his poli-
ties, the KING of DENMARK has already -recalled all Letters
of Marque against this Country, and prohibited French pri-
vateers from bringing their prizes into his ports.
Captain LuTKINs is said to have brought letters from the
RING of PRCssIA, written by his -MAJEsTv's own band,
which are understood to be of great importance, though no,
particulars of their contents have yet transpired.
SECRET INVES t P4ATIt)N.
With much sincere regret, we find ourselves compelled
to sully our pages with the long suppret•seti EvidOnce•pro-
duced in the Secret Investigation of 1806, on the conduct
of the Princess of W ALES. Some parts of it ate not only
disgustingly indelicate. but evidently•false ; and the impu-
twion of perjury. lately cast by Lord CAsTLEREAGII, on.
some of the accusers in this itif,mous affair, is made out by
their examination in the ele.;rest manlier. Whatever may ,
have been the motive that led to the publicaticn of this body
Of evidence, it can have but one effect—that of drawing
from the nation, mud the %scald at large. another aneuirnaus
verdict of Acqu vrief,' for n incess, who has 'oeen already
four times acquitted of. her alleged ofrelftes, and who
ought not to have been made the objett of fresh persecu-
tion. If these documents are brought fory.ard for the pur-
pose of counteracting her late ti umpli in the House of
C.orninons, the malignity of her enemies has been corn-
rletely defeated. NI, ho. for instance, can react the evidence
given by Lady DOUGLAS, without pet--eiving every sen-
tence marked with inconsisteocy so flagrant, and indeileaoi
so gross, a., to justify the severest epithets bestowe:: it
by a Minister in the House of Commons PERbEv
Administration recommended, that Lady DOllOl Ac
be prosecuted for perjury ; and it was stated, in the cont.“:
of the debate, that the prosecution was suspended ,ne,el- to
prevent the diffusion of such scandalou. 91,1•CMCIUS. 'Thu
reason no ionizer exists. All the venom shc'l
abioad Dcfainntion has now done its worst, !et it now meet
its ieward. Let Lot the charge of peijuty be now itll. re-
peated against the accusers of the PRl;:cFss, but let it be
proved in a Court o 1 Justice. This is equally due to ac-
quitted innocence, as to the alleged criminal.

An Address to the People of France. dated Hartwell,
Feb. I, has I.ocly been published, in the name of I.u'; is
101 11 r on the ground, that 4. the Usurper of the Throng
of Sr. Louis, the devastator of Europe. has experienced re-
verses in his turn."—This is not sufficient. The Address
erught to have been prAtpored until it could have shown
that the reverses width he has experienced were of a. nature
'alTeljr admitted of a remedy. Like a premature
red at too great a distance. it will prove harmless, and

tributes' to overthrow. We ;regret that our limits, this
week, do not allow us to give it insertion, as it is rather a-
curious document. Passing ever, in total silence, the emi-
grants who have accompanied or pieceded the Bourbon fa-
mily to England, it promises to maintain, in the plenitude
of their powers, the present Administrative and Judicial Bo•
dies in France ; to preserve in their places all who shall take
the oath of fidelity to the new King; to ptobihit all prose-
cutions for the past ; to leave iii force the Code NA POT. EON;
to preserve thes.;enate, and ail its prerogatives, as it "contains
men of the most distinguished ta'en's, and whore services
will make them illustrious in the eyes of France, and of
posterity ;" to interdict all proceedings by tribunals to set
aside all Fett!eincuts of property; to secute their present
rank to all Geneials and Officers, and to grant them, for
their services, higher rewards than those bestowed upon them
-by DI APO L EON. The last couditicn prorered in this
Address is, the Aholiticn of the Conscription, but no-
thing is said of the abandonment of the ten itory ad- .
dcd to France by the wars of the revolution. Neiihes Hot-
land nor Italy are to be restored to their rnrmer state. The
Count d: LILLE '(for he has not yet been recognised under
any other title in this country, and the answer of Los: CAS•
T L EREAG II to Mr. NV lIITEIREAD, in the House of Com-
mons, last Friday, disavowing any knew'sdge of, or oartici-
b patins in the Manifesto ':f the Ft end' Prince, shows that it
is not intended to saoction his claim's seems to teguee the
question to a more pet soeal exchange of Sovereigns, pledg-
ing, himself to leave France in that state of aggraudisement
and power, which she has by so many unjust wars attained,
provided her throtie be filed by a BOUR RON instead of a N A-
POLIiON. This would, no doubt, be advantageous to the
former, but would the call of the Continent for retributive
justice be satisfied ?
Sines writing the above, we have learnt that almost all the
French noblemen and emigrants in this country, having ex-
. pressed great dissatisfaction at the marled veglect of their in-
terests in the Address, and its gencsai tenor, a tilor?e. of de-
fence has been adopted by the supposed adviserS of Count
DE LILLE, which is neither consistent with truth nor with
justice. They arc said to have declared that it was not their
fault if the Address was not more satisfactory, as it had been
wEitten as: or‘ling te directions issued by his MasesTYlS Mi-
ni, ters, sr ho had interfered in its composition. This is fully
d,sproved by Lord Css r e Lee Aout Declaration in the
House of C:osmons on the subject.
