GOTTENBURGH, AUGUST 1 1 .

Yesterday morning the Danish Agent here, Mr.
Foya, received orders to repair immediately to Co.
penhagen to have an interview with the King. The
business seems so urgent, that- his instructions are to
make the greatest exertions on his journey, and that
on his arrival, he will not even wait to alter his dress
before he has an audience of his Majesty.

Letters and Papers from Paris, of so late a date as
the 17th, were received yesterday. They state that
Peace between Austria and France was signed on the
10th ; but this we know to be erroneous, from having
previously received accounts from Vienna of the 12th
(two days later), which positively state that no such
event had then taken place.
We mentioned yesterday the arrival of German
Papers to the 13th. A vessel, which left the Mouth
of the Elbe so late as last Monday, has also arrived.
No account had at that time' rrived from the seat of
war, either of the conclusion of peace, or the arrange-
meat of preliminaries for that purpose.

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, the Princess Au-
Gusra, 'and the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, accompanied
by Lady THYNNE, Generals CARTwitIGHT, FITZROY,
Colonels TAYLOR and DESBROW, rode in Windsor-
Park till twelve o'clock, and then returned to the
Palace.

The Princess SOPHIA still continues indisposed, and
unable to accompany his MAJESTY in his usual ride.
The Princesses A MELIA and MARY, with their at-
tendants, leave Windsor on Monday, and proceed on
their excursion to Weymouth.
A Mail for the Island of Walcheren will be made
up at the Post Office, this evening. Another will be
forwarded thither next week.

We have received American letters and papers to
the 27th ult. and we have the satisfaction to affirm,
from all we can collect of the disposition manifested
in the United States, both by the public authorities
and private individuals, that the pause in the nego-
tiation with that Government will not lead either to
hostility, or even to that temporary cessation of confi-
dence between the High Contracting Parties, which
will be attended with pernicious consequences to trade.
A letter from Boston, of the 23d ult. is written
under the full conviction that no war will result from
the impediment to the negotiation, and observes,
th.tt the ultimate arrangement must be suspended
until the arrival of Mr. JACKSON, as, under the present
circumstances, the Government could not renew the
disciusions with Mr. ERSKINE, both from motives of
delicacy to him, and from the proper respect to its
own character and dignity.
Another letter from the same place, dated three
days afterwards, acquaints us, that the alarm excited
by the refusal of Great Britain to ratify the engage.
ments of the English Envoy, has, in a great d:grce,
subsided. It says, that no apprehensions were then
entertained, that Mr. JACKSON'S mediation would not
be so far effectual as to prevent the possibility of a
rupture. It adds, that the people of America pro-
mise themselves the most agreeable result from this
mission ; and that they breathe nothing hut a spirit
of amity and conciliation towards this country. '
Some further particulars on the same subject will
be seen in the selections we have made from the Ame.
rican papers ; and we have extracted other passages
to shew the public sentiment in Amerka with respect
to France, considering, that the negotiation with this
country will be materially and beneficially influenced
by it.

A few days since a second skeleton was found at
Plymouth, the feet of which were not more than nine
or ten inches under the surface, on the slope of the
old glacis. As the old glacis was made about 30
years ago, and the earth all thrown out of the ditch,
these discoveries have excited various conjectures ; the
most probable of which is (as there was no fracture
visible in either of the Skeletons, and more than one
being found), that several thousand workmen have
been employed on the original work, and a great
mortality having happened at the time, the work- ;
men, several of whom diecl on the spot, buried their
companions on the glacis, which slopes pretty steeply,
the heads being several feet under the surface, and
the feet but a trifling depth in consequence.
