MEW CONSTITUTION IN DENMARK.

mark, the Vandals and the Goths Duke of Sleswick,

suburgh, snake known, that in order to place us and our
Ilescendants an the throne in a situation in which we may
be stale always to obtain the mest authentic information
respecting all that can contribute to the welfare of our
rue and beloved subjects, and by these means render the
A lion which attaches our Royal house to our subjeets more
secure and permanent, also in order to-awaken the public
spirit, we have determined to introduce councils of nrovin-
.cial states in our kingdom of Denmark, as well as in our
Duchies of Sleswick and Holstein. In order to carry these
intentions into effect in a manner corresponding with our
paternal views, we have previously taken the subject into
due consideration ; and though it has not arrived to such
degree of maturity as would be requisite to make it a ge-
nera and specified legislative measure, yet we deem it ex-
pedient now to proclaim the general outline of the Con-
stitution we purpose giving to our Danish states.
We therefore most graciously ordain,---

ktOtes are to he elected,—one for the counties of Zealand,

should be occasion to alter the regulation which will now

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From Le Temps of Saturday, July 9 )

PARIS, JULY B.—The Journal de Havre of the 6th
contains a very important piece of intelligence:—" We
learn, says that Journal, from good authority, that the
French Government has just conceded the claims of the
United States, made on account of prizes taken in 1812
and 1813, and has agreed upon the indemnity claimed on
that account. For a sum of 25,000,000 of francs, the
French Government settles with that of the United States
for all indemnities, even such as remain undecided with
respect to Louisana, and by virtue of this arrangement, to
which the American Ambassador Plenipotentiary has
,igned, all difficulties are removed, and the collision of
which President Jackson spoke in his message is avoided.
The commercial relations between France and the United
States will become closer. The Ambassador promises, in
the name of his Government, that the duty on wine im-
ported into the United States shall be diminished 6c. per
gallon. The import duty on silk is also to be reduced.
" On our side we promise to reduce the import duty on
long worked cottons in France.
" The other basis of our treaties with the United States
will be retained, and the system of reciprocity for the two
flags preserved.
"'The United States consent also to pay a million and
a half to indemnify several families for the sums advanced
during the war of independence by the heads of those fami-
lies, to promote the American cause."
(From the Quotidienne.)

The garrison of Metz and Charleroi are so numer.,us, that
it would have been difficult to find accommodations for the
regiment of infantry and the regiment of cavalry that were
to arrive there on the 3d. It has been resolved to put these
two regiments into cantontnents within two or three leagues,
and to place the cavalry at the chateau de Villiers.
A letter from Bayonne of the 2d of July, addressed to
us, says—" Every thing tends to confirm the r• ports of
war that have been in circulation for some days, and which
might seem to us to he mere jobbing manoeuvres, did they
not assume an appearance of gravity and truth, in conse-
quence of the measures just ordered by the Government.
A telegraphic despatch has just arrived from Paris, with
orders to ship immediately for Dunkirk the oats lately
brought hither."
We hive a letter from Vienna of the 28th of June, to
the following effect :
" The Austrian Government is making a new levy of
80,000 men, which will increase its effective force to
nearly 600,000 soldiers. Those who know the moderation
of the Emperor Francis will not attribute these formidable
preparations to motives of personal ambition. It is well
known that at the Congress of Vi, nna he offered to restore
Gallicia.without indemnity, on condition that the other
Powertiwould consent to the full and entire independence
of Poland."

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O' CLOCK

New York Papers to the 17th June and Boston to
the 16th June have been re,!eived at the North and South
American Coffee-house, by the ship Sovereign, Captain
Chaplin.
(From the Paper of the 16th of June.)

MAnAcAino, MAY 21.—Letters have been received in
town up to the 16th /Wit, from Bogota, which represent
that city as being on the eve of joining the Liberal party,
and re-establishing the Constitution of 1830. Ohando
and Lopez were within a few days' march of the city.
Urdeneta was to leave Bogota the same day, and put him-
self at the head of the battalion of Callan, the only troops
he could depend on. It was generally supposed he would
make the best terms for himself with Obando and Lopez
withtnt coming to blows. The elections for this place
have been declared null by the Venezulian Congress, and
new elections are to take place. On the Ist June, all was
perfectly quiet in this place, business has improved a little.
The York (Upper Canada) Papers contradict the re-
port of the loss of the American steamer, Henry Clay,
on Lake Erie, with 700 souls on board. It appears that
the vessel had arrived at Detroit.

(From Valparaiso, Chili, March 3.)

The political condition of Chili is very precarious, as
the present rulers were put in by the military during the
revolution last war.

Ovalle, Vice-President, is nominally at the head of the
Government. The English lsrig, Mary Ann, Collins, from
Liverpool for this place. with a valuable cargo, was
wrecked the 19th ult. r- the rocks, and went to pieces;
crew all saved.
