proposed in the official letter OF the French
Minister of Marine to Gen. Armstrong;
This suggestion was treated as it had been
considered in England. merely as an iiiu

the purpose of inducing the United States
to take measures hostile to G. Britain. This
gentleman also supports the ruInor of the
peremptory recall of Junot, Beliiard and

pleasure OF the Emperor, in consequence
OF some representations, or misveprese.ita

Some Of the private accounts received b,

iy interesting. 1t appears certain that Ma
poleon had actually applied to the Danist
government for permission to occupy Zea
land. not with IS, 900, but with 80, 600 men /;
q it appears equally certain that the king
OF Denmark has given peremptory refusal.

That Napoleon has planned the subtuga.
tion of all the Northern Powers, or what a
mounts to the same thing, TO set aside che
own creatures to their sovcreisnties, ha,

ed his character and actions. Will the re
fusai of the king of Denmark to permit the
passage OF his troops through Holstein alter
his views! We think not. Indeed, by the
accounts BROUGHT by this mail. this appear.
alre ady to be the case.
One of the letters observes that Frede
rick William, oppressed with the humilia
ting state OF dependence TO which he was re-
duced, had actually proposed to Napoleon to
resign his crown to which measure. il is
said. the French Ruler was nor prepared &c

culation has been realized. OF these com
munications, the following, which is dated
Oporto. the 9Th inst. sbews the extent of the
retreat, aud the positions of the several
armies:
