GERMAN PAPERS.

COPENHAGEN, JUNE s.—The Gazette of this
daycontains the following article :
On the 3lst ult. An English naval officer, who
arrived in the road in a flag of truce, delivered a

letter from Mr. Thornton, the English gnvoy at
the Court of Sweden, and from (he English Ge-

neral Hope, together with another from :the Swe-
dish Chancellor, Baron Wetterstedt, both dated
on board the English man of war, Defiaace,
''utiral Hope, in Kioga Bay. It was at the saute
time stated, that the Russian Genet at, Baron Von
Suchtelen. was on board the same vesseli. in .or,
tier to participate in the negotiations fpr peace,.
proposed, on the part of England, in the alreve-
‘ Mentioned letter, and for which purposti.the said
Envoy and General declared themselves to be pro-
`, tided with full powers, as was also the Swedish
. Chancellor, to treat with regard to the doubtful
• relations now subsisting between Denmark and
Sweden. Atter what has already been column-
, nicated to the public upon this subject, his Ma-
jesty's faithful subjects in both Kingdoms, and
in the Dui:hies, will • not he surprised that the
.Crown Prince of Sweden, in the name of his
Swedish 'Majesty, should represent it as a proof
of moderation and disinterestedness, that there
is now demanded,. tin the part of Sweden, the
cession only of the diocese of Drontheim, with the
territory lying between it and the Russian frontier.
• They will herein perceive only another proof of
those scandalous and oppressive demands, which
have lately exposed the inhabitants of Norway to
the deprivation of that peaceful condition which
prevails among them, and which accords with their
common welfare. 'ley 'will feud it no less' in-
'compatible with their sentiments, and the national
feeling, that a demand was, at the same time,
• murk, that 25,00 U Danish troops should be placed
under the command of the Swedish Crown Prince,
to be employed, in conjunction with those of Swe-
den and other Powers, 'in the North of Germany,
against France. Upon this basis have the Eng-
, lisp Plenipotentiaries proposed a negociatien for
the re-establishment of peace with Great Britain ;
at the same time, pointedly observing, that there
can be no cessation of hostilities, for the benefit
of navigation, unless the Royal troops In Jutland
and Holstein are previously placed at the disposal.'
of the Swedish Crown Prince. Upon the conclu-
sion of peace, the colonies are to be restored, but
not the island of Heligoland ; nor is Mere to be
any indemnification for the loss of the fleet: Every
inhabitant of these kingdoths and countries may"
.he assured, that - these propositions were, by his
Majesty's command, answered in a manner cor-
`responcling to the nignity of the Crown, and the
known interests of his States. The flag of truce
. returned from this place in the afternoon of the
2d instant.. It was ordered to wait only 48 hours
for an answer.

lies Majesty, deeply afflicted at the scarcity
.which inevitably resulted from a prolonged de.
fensive war, which interrupted the corn trade,
.and obstructed the communication between Den-
mark and Norway, had, as is already known,
made proposals of peace to the Government of
Great Britain ; but the person who was authorised
to deliver them coact, not• obtain tsS 'l'q
the proposals which, with the saute view, were
transmitted through the medium of the English
Envoy in Stockholm fur the information of his
Government, nu reasonable objection, can be made,
as they claimed the restitution of all that had
been taken. from' his Majesty, in consequence .of
the unexpected rupture; or an indemnification for
the same, and to guarantee to his Majesty the
possessiOn of his States. When two Govern-
Meats, after the breaking out. of a • war, unite
again, in order to conclude peace, nothing is more
-usual than to demand indemnification ; but such
demands are not to• be constituted indispeniable
preliminaries, without which negociations are not
even to take place.
It will, on the other band, be remarked, .that
the proposals for peace and reconciliation, just
made by the agents of the English Government
and the Swedish Chancellor, are •entirely • depen-
dent upon such preliminaries as have no justifica-
tion whatever in the events .of the war in which
Denmark has been involved with England. Both
the above-mentioned Governments endeavour to
.give their denninds a colour of justice, whilst
they, on the contrary, refer to engagements en-
tered into among themselves, by which the king-
doll4 of Norway is destined to become subject to
tiweden ; as if any obligation upon his Majesty
-could thence he derived to fulfil what had been

stipulated between his Majesty's enemies and a
neighbouring power, Whose Ruler endeavours to
separate the two'. kingdoms from each other,
whilst he in the mean time subjugates Norway.
It is the King's unalter►able determination to
maintain the union of his kingdoms-,'
Fellow Countrymen ! we will support his Ma-
jesty's incessant exertions for the independence
and welfare of the country ! We will with hint
encounter everydangeri and our banner shall be
" God and a just cause."
Almost insuperable obstruction: have been
thrown in the Way of the corn trade to Norway,
With the view of weakening the courage of the
brave Norwegians,•by the cries of their wives and
children for breatl,—hy the want of food for their
necessary subsistence. These are the weapons
that have been employed against an innocent peo-
ple, to seduce them into disloyalty to their lawful
King, who has been incessantly occ►►pied 'with
the means .of relieving their necessities, and who
has left nothing untried to restore peace upon 'ho-
nourable terms,—wht► will not, however, lend a
batid to dissever the union of the two" kingdoms,
inherited from his ancestors, and which are to
him equally dear.

LON.DON, •
7'11E51)417, JUNI!: 2q, 1141.1:

So long ago as Saturday, we were put in pos-
session of the following intelligence, resting on
the authority of a-letter from Gottenburgh, but
considered it then, as we do now, to be too ab-
surd for public credulity. Since, however, it has
found its way into all contemporary Paperi, we
must consent to copy it for the amusement, not
for the' information, of our Readers. It is true
that

IN'tult we w:sh we readily believe ►
but this story appears to be so palpable an attack
upon the judgment, that we cannot suffer our
desires (strong as they are) to lead us so far astray
as to induce us to give it. credit. Indeed, it, seems
to have been thrown out from mere whim and fro-
lick, as a tub for the whale—if so, We must express
our disapprobation of the jest, Which goes to
throw discredit ,on the Press, and render British
Journals, which ought to be distinguished for
probity, no More worthy of confidenee.than the
fabulous and lying publications of our enemy.
Here is the tale of the tub :

" Advices are said to have been received from the head_
quarters of the Allied Army of the grealeit importance. Our
Readers know that the Armistice was to• continue from the
4th June to the 20th July, and that it has been ratified by
lIVONAPARTE.—But it is stated, • that the Emperor of
RussiA refused to ratify it, except for f►ftecn , days, and.
-that on the condition of Hambnrgh. being evacuated
by the French—that, in concert with the Emperor of
Ausrnra, he signified to BuorlArmern, that during that
period of fifteen dap, the latter ►rust declare whether be
would consent to hold a Congress at Prague or at Breslau, to
be founded on a certain scheme or basis laid down by Austria,
which has for its object the dissolution of the Confederation of
the Rhine, and the restoration of the Tyrol,Trieste, Fiume, and
the litiorale to Austria—that in the event of an answer being
returned in the aflirmati re, a Congrefs shall be held for a Gene-
ral Peace; butthat in case the answer is in the negative, Austria
will immediately join the Allies with 105,000 men, under the
Prince of SCHWARTZZNBURG, who is to ~iebouch upon the,
Elbe in two points: 150,000 men, under the Archduke
Cliattt.r.s, are also to act in Italy. It is reported that ih/o-
NAVARTE having replied to the joint proposals of 'Russia and
Austria in the negative, Austria was to put her force in mo-
tion beforethe 12th a Juice.

" Suet; is the impui taut inf9rrnation v..higb has been trans.
ullttedt

" And in addition, it is reported, that reitifateementtiave
nearly doubled tho amount of the Russian army,; and that
the Allies have actually sent eO,OOO men under Bu Low to join
the CILOWN PRINCE, and act under his orders."

A most important, • and, in our view of it, a
most destructive measure, made some progress
in the House of Cornmoos last ►tight. We al-
lude to the introductiOn of an entirely new sys-
,tem into onr Corn Laws. We will confess that
there are many parts in the existing state of
these laws susceptible of correction and amend-,
merit, but the proposition now press'ed by ,Sir
ilextyr PARNELL will, if acceded to, have the
monstrous effect -,of f►xing corn at an immovably
high price. Pass it into law, and the poor of this
country may shut the hope from their hearts that
they will ever again see the days of cheap bread for
' their families. By establishing the maximum
at which importation.is to be allowed .at 955. per
quarter, it would in effect settle that dear and
burthensome rate as the minimum of price, and
we could 'never expect. to have wheat at a
lower sum than 955. per quarter. In dome--
quence of the farmer' recciving.so large an cm°,
liniment, the landlord would speedily think him-
self entitled to raise his rents; and a regular a&
vance of price may be anticipated that would
bear hard upon. the manufacturing, commercial,
and middling classes of the community. While
we have a voice to denounce this proposed
alteration we. will raise it, in oilier to avert., if in
our power, the calamity with which it threatens
to visit these who are already enough exposed to,
the pressure of these heavy times.

The persons whose interest, this new system
is intended to promote, are already on the ground
of reaping a fair equivalent for their labonrsu—
bread and corn, are already dear enough—and no
measure which would enhance their ptiee will, we
teust, receive the approbation of Parliament.

Ministers completely silenced their opponents
in the-debate upon the Swedish Treaty, on Friday
night. The grounds of objection were so perfectly
removed by Lord CASTLBRUAGH'S speech, in the
Commons, that the Party were dumb-founded, and
could afterwards only muster censure with an if,
and condemnation with a. suppose—which ifs and
which supposes were very ingenious, but possesseil
of this unfortunate trifling imperfection, that they
were not founded on fact. But that which re-
strained even the clamorous voice of a WinT4iaLu),

and loweed his brow, has been.found insufficient
to stop the rude roar violendelrom the parti-
Zat/3 of the dpposition, who conduct their cause
through the medium of the press., The invent-
tivepolicy of securing Sweden -when Denmark
turned a dedf ear tp• persuasion, and refused,. as
,she does now, to be conciliated, has met with the
sanction and approbation of Parliament, as it bad
before done of every man of sound mind, unbiassed
by the jaundice of party, in the country. But the
_vexation of these persons is not to be concealed,
beCause there were many circumstances which
concurred to render the Ministerial shield_ of de-
fence against their attack perfect, which their saga-
city had not enabled them to penetrate be fore they
were triumphantly combinet4 and held up in the
Senate to the utter discomfiture of the assailants.
The paltry points upon which they- continue to
hang their tissue of abuse are almost too insig-
nificant for notice. They still pretend to doubt
the sincerity of the CROWN PRINCE, because, say
they, can it be expected Aloft .the EARLY FRIEND
of 13UONAPARTE• should become his enemy ? -Let
t'wm look into their own hearts, and study with
What. rancour and malignity the Early Friends
of Princes may be possessed towards those
whom they once pretended to love—with what
bloodhound thirstiness they may pursue their
victim, in the hope 'of ultimately being enabled to
run him down. Agttin they say, are you not to look
for affection from Denmark, where the- King's
nephew reigns ? Weak is the- tie of kindred-
among the great, and senseless would that states-
man be who reposed confidence in foreign po-
tentates, merely because they might be allied to-
his Sovereign. And why talk of the regard to
be expected. from a sister's child of George
the Third,' 'when the children of his own
wife set .-themselves in array •against
when the. BENTS aitti Sugsax's of England unite
with the eneniies of his House, in forcing Catho-
licism upon the Constitution—wkb, the opponents
of the principles which seated, and confirm him on
the throne—the batterers against his oath and his
conscience—the agitators of his Empire, and the
insulters of his Representative ?
•
But if we
.could.have entertained a doubt re-
specting the devotion of Denmark to BUONAPAILTE,
that doubt must have been removed by the
State Paper from Copenhagen, contained in a
preceding column. With an industry worthy
of a better cause, a IN-forming Paper has laboured
incessantly to mislead the public jedgment on this
subject. This appears to us to be very nicked ;
for, from the excellent observation of thenriat
laded to, their offence must be considered as the
offspring of deliberate design, and nor, like their
contemporary in the same career, the sheer effect
of ignorance. What, for example, can he a more
gross perversion of truth than the following ana-
lysis of the late overture to Denmark ?' •
" The offer was simply this,--that Denmark should break
her faith to France; should place at the disposal of the
CanwN Pat na of SWEDEN an J 3 rm y of 25,000 omen; and in
return for this should be indulged with the liberty of ceding 1
to Sweden only the bishoprick of Drontheisn."

A single glance at the document will convince
the most superficial observer, that a more sys-
tematic attempt at misrepresentation than is con-
tained in the above paragraph could not have
bed!) made. Every sacrifice in lieu of Drontbeim
would be made—compensation and equiValent to
satisfy the most rapacious, in exchange for a pos-
session which the events of every day prove to be
vitally necessary to Sweden', as she can make no
exertion upon the Continent while her own fron-.
tier is exposed, belpless,and without means of resist-
ance to the invasion of an Agent or Ally. of France.
But the secret is out—" it is incompatible with the
sentiments and national feeling of Denmark to em-
ploy troops against France in the North of Germany."
Away then to Heaven ! respective lenity ! In God's
name, let us have no longer this trifiing.witb our
vital interests, like babies playing upon a preci-
pice, while the gulph yawns, or the torrent rages
below. Let us not be infected with these pu»y
wranglings and miserable quibbles—these vile
attempts to distract and divide us at a moment
when. every nerve and energy of, the land
ought to be exerted to save us from the machina7
Lions of our enemy, and exhibit Great Britain to
the world as its stay in the hour of peril, being
strong in the irresistible force of an united, va-
lorous, and unconquerable people.

The allusions made to the state of the Corn
Trade in Norway, in the Danish Gazette, teaches
us to look for a speedy revolution in that country,
in favour of Sweden, which can supply the tarnish-
ing population with those necessaries of life for
which they can no longer depend on their Conti-
nental mother.
