The fall of Omninm is attributed, in the City, to
the great run upon the Country Banks, and consider-
able sales of Stock by the Foreigners, who have sent
powers of attorney to this country tram almost every
part of the Continent.

Accounts have been this morning received from
Ostend, that the John Adams has sailed from thence
for America for fresh instructions, the American Ne-
gociators finding themselves deficient in their powers
to meet the actual state of affairs in Europe.

We are enabled to present our Readers to-day with
some Official Documents respecting Norway, of con-
siderable interest. They tend to increase our Appre-
hensions that Norway will not become a fief of Swe-
den until much blood has been fruitlessly shed---we,
say fruitlessly, because we cannot conceive it possible
that the Norwegians can withstand the united forces

of the Allies, even if every heart was unanimous in

the cause which the Diet, or States of the Kingdom,
have called that of liberty and independence. It is
evident, however, from the complexion of all the re-
cent intelligence from Norway, that unanimity does
not prevail ; and besides, a foolish not;on has been
taken up by the leading political characters there,
that England, either by the voice of her population,
or by her Government, secretly favours the cause of
the Norwegians : this is an unhappy delusion, which
the precipitate return of the Deputies who were sent
in vain to London to open negotiations, Must have
by this time removed.
However great the diversity of opinion respecting
the points mooted between Norway and the Allies,
there is one point in which all who peruse the present
documents must be agreed, namely, in conceding to
Frince CHRISTIAN FREDERICK a high character for
firmness and unshaken resolution. The dangers
around him are great—his enemies awfully formi-
dable, by sea and land; aad yet there is no departure
from principle, no intemperate threats of deSance,
and no idle gasconade of annihilating his invaders.
to be gathered from any part of his diplomatic inter-
course.

The first piece in this collection of State Papers, is
a Note from the Allied Plenipotentiaries, in which
they.propose a suspension of hostilities, on condition
that Prince Cuiturrime shall resign the Crown to the
Diet, thus submitting to something like a new elec.
Lions to this Prince CHRISTIAN consents ; but he
strongly remonstrates against putting certain Norwe-
gian fronti-ers,adinterim,into the hands of the Swedish
army ; for he insinuates, and really with great ap-
pearance of reason, that the election of the Diet can
no longer be that of freemen, if their country is occu-
pied by foreign troops. He seems gbite confident.of
his re-election, if the Diet is allowed to deliberate
un-
influenced by tile presence of an armed force, and he
will consider himself inseparably linked with the de-
stinies of Norway, " in tbe event of a brave, though
useless resistance, against the united forces of Europe."
In short, the whole Correspondence exhibits pain-
ful evidence of the determination of Prince Citalsria:v
ultimately to dare the Allies to subjugate the country
by force of arms ; and most assuredly he appears to
be one of those decided characters who is not to be
trifled with. We regret, for the sake of the repose of
Europe, that he did not make his debut at an earlier
period, and on a more glorious and more extensive
field :—a single sprig of laurel gained on the plains
of Leipsic, would have been a better title to the throne
of Norway, than the Decrees of a thousand Diets,
composed of well-meaning, but, perhaps, unenlight-
ened Patriots.

A Hamburgh 'Mail arrived this morning.. The
intelligence which it conveys from the seat of war in
Norway is by no means of a pleasing nature. All
attempts nt further nerciations seem to have failed,
and the Nov wegians have retired into their fastnesses.
To admit that the Swedes have as yet defeated them,
would be an anticipation. The King of PitusstA has
reached hii own capital, and, with the-modesty inse-
parable from the character of true dignity, has de-
clined all the festivals which the citizens were pre.
paring for his individual honour and gratification.
His MAJEZTY will permit his warriors to participate
in such honours as their fellow-citizens may confer
on them, and will be present merely as the head of
the army and the chief of the nation, to witness the
festival.—We subjoin the following extracts from the
German Papers :
