HA.2,IIyRCH, FEB. 7.—Representations of a very
insolent nature have, it is said, been Made by the
French Government to the Daiiish Court. Their
principal objed is to exclude the English from the
.ports of the Baltic by shtitting tip the Sound. Den-
mark has given a decided negative to this demand,
and applied for the mediation of Ruisia,
which has
been granted. In the mean time it is in contem.
plation to train the whole population of the Dutchies
of Holstein and Schleswic to the use of arms, that
they may he ready to re,,ist any hostile attempt on
the part of the FIRST CONSUL.
The Pete- riburgh letters of the "zoth tilt, confirm
the ;tectints of great movements taking place among
the Russian troops, which are chiefly direded to the
We• tern Frontiers.

Letters from Vienna, of the 28th tilt. mention,
that the settling of the differences between the Im-
perial Court ar,d that of Munich is again impeded,
by the Elednr of BAvAR I A's insisting upon re-
taining the possessionS of the Knights of the Em_
Aire.
ire He justifies his condud by an appeal to that
observed by other Princes, and Prussia seems to be
on his side. The EMPEitOR, however, insists upon
the status Quo. Upon the whole, the Gernian-Em-
pire is as much divided as ever ; and very little
prospect appears of a speedy and entire pacification
of its jarring parties.
Count MARcow suddenly received orders to set-
out from Vienna, and was expetled by his Court
towards the laiter end of the month • of January at
Petersburgh. By stithe accounts the• Count has le_
fused to take upon 'him the office of Minister for
Foreign Affairs.- Prince ESTERHAZY was to go to
Russia much about the same time, with dispatches
of the highest importance;
