"'The King "of Denmark having-applied for an
extension-of the armistice, it has been prolonged
to the .6th' of January: This interval is' doubtless
a long one ; but however injurious it may- be as
far, as respects the Allies; they will not regret it,
piovided the basis of peace with Denmark is !aid
before•its termination. :Advantageous conditions
have been' offered to that government by Sweden :
it is to be hoped, for the general good, and for.
the advantage. of that Government itself, that they
will be accepted. Impartial Europe will know how
to apprec`iate as it deserves, the magnanimity
of this offer, . Which conveys 4 ne* proof
of the moderation of Sweden, and her upright
wishes again to restore peace to the North. Nor-.
way
.was secured to her by the most sacred and
solemn treaties : never had any guarantee a mare
majestic signature,
,and never did any nation rely
'with.more confidence than Sweden, upon treaties
whiCh deliver the Scandinavian Peninsula fro:u
the influence and. policy of Napoleon. The hopes
of peace hav'e improve! the Danish paper money
100 per cent. This :is the thermometer of 'he
opinion of the nation. Tbe moment hostile ope-
rations are renewed, the paper will uo longer hay°
any value.

" In the mean time, amidst existing protesta-
tions,.an Anglo-Russian and PruSsian convoy has
been attacked in the Sound, by privateets under-
the Danish and French flags, and must have fallen
into the bands- of these pit ates, had tliey nOt been
protected by the Swedish ships of war. This
convoy was laden With valuable merchandise,
and, among other things, With muskets and mill-

Lary clothing. ,
"-Since the commencement of the armistice, a
Russian officer, with dispatches from Frankfort
for Count Walmoden, having lost his way, came
under the walls of Rendsburg. Being,bronght before

were taken from him, -broken open, and read.
