OREBRO, AUGUST 25.
It appears that the. rejection of the propositions of
his Danish Majesty, for his nomination as Crown
Prince, gave that Monarch so much umbrage, that
be positively forbade the Duke of Holstein Augustin-
burg from accepting the nomination of Crown Prince
fn the event of his being chosen; and it is even men-
tioned-in some letters, that the Duke was, for some
days placed en surveillance, to prevent his coming over.
Counts Morner and R. Rosen have been deputed to
felicitate the Prince of Ponte Corvo on his election.
ROSTOCK, AIIGUST so.
The Commander of the French troops, which ea-,
tered this place three days ago, made a demand of
800,000 ris-dollars, which was gradually lowered to
80,000 ; this not being complied with, the whole of
our magazines, containing colonial produce, have been
put under seal, till the arrival of M. Bourienne, from
Hamburgh, who, it is said, has full powers to adjust
the affair.

STOCKHOLM, AUGUST ss.

The last letters from Paris state, that Count Metter-
nich's negotiations chiefly relate to the present state
of affairs in Servia, which province, agreeably to the
wishes of the greater part of its inhabitants, will be
tranfcrred to Austria.

NAPLES, JULY 23.

We have received official accounts from Corfu of

tercept the communication between Corfu and the
Apulian ports. The rest of the islands they have left,
except St. Maura, which is perfectly free and unmo-
lested.

and the French seem determined to give us plenty of
