BALTIMORE, June 26. From the Boston Gazette, of June 25. A circumstance, by no means favourable to American affairs, has occurred in Denmark; the resignation of count Bernstorff, prime minister at Copenhagen, and his brother, minister of foreign affairs. The cause of these resignations, is the pertinacious obstinacy of his majesty the king of Denmark, in his adherence to Napoleon's continental system. They are succeeded by count Molke, and baron Rosencrantz, ambassador in Paris, so that this system, which implies greater strictness in regard to American vessels, will be still more rigorously enforced.
