It was very con ently reported yellerday, that an
brertore had been received from the French Govern-
ment, tending to a negociation between the two
countries. There is no truth in the report, which
has probably atifen from the circumllance of a com-
munication having been received by the Tranfport
Board, by way of Morlaix, on Saturday, which,
however, is fuppofed to have related foltly to the
Ibufinefs of an exchange of prifoners.

been received by Government.

Since our IA four Gottenburgb Mails have ar-
rived. By there we learn, that Come pmpofals have
been made to RufGa by the Court of Berlin, which
have for their objet the re.eflablifhment of a general
peace on the Continent, the balls of which mull be the
acknowledgment on the part of France of the inde-
pendance of the whole North of Germany. It Is,
however, underliood, that the Emperor A AAAAA 0111
will liflen to no terms, in any negotiation, in which
France is a party, until formally rcleafed from his
engagements with England.
