MEMEL, JUL! RS.—The following Proclamation,
addressed by the King to the Subjefts of the ceded
Provinces, has been publiShed here :
" You are acquainted, beloved Inhabitant's of
faithful ProVinces, Territories, and Towns; with' my
Sentiments, .and with the events of last year. My
. arms benumbed under the pressure of misfortunes,
the exertions of the last remains of my army proved
fruitless. Forced back to the outermost borders
a the Empire, and even, my powerful Ally having
judged it necessary to conclude an Armistice and
Peace, nothing remained for me but the wish
to . restore tranquillity to any' Country, after the
ealaniitieS of War. Peace was to be concluded,
its' circumstance di i tee ; the most painful sa-
crifices were required of myself and my houie.—
What ages and worthy ancestors, conventions, love
and coufldetki had united, was to be severed. , My
, effortS, the exertions; of all who belonged to me,
were , used in. vain. • Fate ordains-4 Father parts

" I. release you. frnm -all allegiance to my peron

and my house. My most' ardent wishes for your
prosperity intend you to your new SOvereign ; be to
him what you wore to me. No fate, no pgwer, can
efface in m$ besoni, and in the mind of my family,
the remembrance of you.

rumours of an. approachipg Peace with this ,ountry,

of the .Papers states, that on the 7th inSt..a nag of
Truce arrived at Boul'ogne from ,Rover, with a pe'r:.
son of .distinZtion on board, who was the bearer of
a Letter frbm the KING of, Great Brltaito, but it
adds, that four days afterwards do stick person had -
arrived at Paris. _Whether a Flag of Truce has been
sent to Boulogne or not, we cannot pretend to !tab,
but we think we may venture to state that no such
Letter has been transmitted..

An micle from Hamburgh, dated the th inst..
mentions the arrillal of the English Expedition in
the Baltic; but it adds, that the most perfect ttan-
qUillity-Oreirails in Denmark, and that such ma-.
sures have been taken for the defence of the Metro-
polis and the Port, that nething was to be dreaded from
any attack. The Ports of Prussia are, it states,
" already shut against the English ; Russia will do
the same, provided England refuses to assent to the
Articles of Peace agreed Upon ; and there is no
doubt that Denmark,' in" that case, will follow the
example of the two. other Powers" The ptompt
and decisive measures adopted by His Majesty's
Ministers have removed all apprehensions on that
