Some private letters arrived by the last mail from Hamburg intimate, that the Empress of Russia is applying, in a very energetic manner, to the court of Berlin, to induce the king of Prussia to annul the treaty of peace which he has lately made with the French Convention; and that a definitive question is put to him on the subject, in which his answer is required on or before the 22d June. On his reply will depend the execution of some very active measures, which the court of Petersburg has in agitation.

- The news seems to be confirmed by a circumstance mentioned that some French emigrants of rank and consequence, who were preparing to sail for the West-Indies, have received letters from friends in Berlin, desiring that they will not leave Europe, as circumstances of a very unexpected nature will probably soon be made public, which may throw a very different aspect on their concerns; and give a much speedier opening for their return to their native country than has yet presented itself to their hopes.
