Mail' " de Diet of the Empire in the name of the ki"g of Sweden as Duke of Pomcr onia- His Mijffty l«"" n g already d -clared, that j, g co nsidered the Congre/s of Peace at Raf tadt no longer Constitutional, after the re newal of the war, and in consequence theie of lie recalled his Minister, this Congress ought to be confioiered as diflolved. No Legation of ths dates of the Empire can re main at Raftadt, without evident breach of that refpeft which each state owes to the Supreme Chief of the Germanic Body, the prelcnt war, in his.opinion, oaght to be re garded as a war of the Empire ; indeed it was declared as such at firit, an<i as the Con gress was convened, for the sole purpose of negotiating the peace during the art? iftice, he conceives that things (houlJ remain on the fame footing. • It i* the duty then of each member ot (he Expire'tat t?le? an afiive interest in this v.-ai - hi <urnifl»irg his contingent; no state, In l.ih Majefty'* r'piinon, tan be difpewfcd from this obligation, except those whose lo cal pol'ttion, and wart cf means, render it impossible. A contrary opinion teems to him inadmifCble and nnconftitutional. Our principal obli ation is obedience to the Chief Supreme of the Empire, and attachment to the Constitution, to mfure the enjoyment of our rights and prerogatives.—lt may, per haps, be alledged, that the intereft*'and well bcir.g of f me of the Hates of the Empire prtferibe to tliem what is ttrir.fd a neutrali ty, but ai hi# Majesty has already excepted thnfr Sovereigns and countries, which from imperious circpmftanceS, are prevented from supporting the burdens of the war, he does not fee any reason for such conduft in those whose ituaiion excludes the like excuse ; and even should the part they would take in the war be attended with difficulties and ex pence, they hav no fclid motives which jnftify a breach of their engagements. — After some other observations his Swedish Majesty thus concludes: He that reads in thte hearts of men is his judge, and we will aflured.'y fee that no motive of ambition has induced him to lake thi* step, and that his only incitement is the desire of re-establish ing union, confidence, and integrity iu the Germanic Body. He declares then here to hi* Co-estates, that he i* ready at thi* moment to make his contingent march, as Duke of Pomerania; and wishes that all the wall disposed Members of the Empire par ticularly f hose who have the power to main tain it effectually, may imitate his example.

A letter received in'town on Mnndaylaft from Mr. Laing, firft Lieutenant cf the U nited States frigate General Greene, dated at Newport harbor, mentions, thatithe Ge neral Greene failed from the Havanna the 12th inft, with 50 fail of merchantmen, which she convoyed to the northward of Ber muda, when it proving very sickly on board, it was found neceflary to bear away for New port, in order to land the sick, and cleaull the (hip : that 20 have died of the fever (among whom are 9 officers) and about 30 sick, who are landing at Coafter's-harbor. Among the deceased officers arc the purser, the surgeon, and Mr. Coleman, of this town, middiipman. NEWPORT, JULY 30. Tiie United States frigate Gen. Greene, capt. Christopher Perry, arrived here on Sa turday last, the 27th inft. from the Havanna station ; having convoyed upwards of fifty veflels bound to different ports of the United States. A very fatal and contagieus disor der, together with other pressing causes, compelled her thus <arly to abandon her sta tion. The causes which produced the fatal malady will no doubt be developed in due season—at the fame time we feel ourselves warranted in expressing a belief, that it has not been produced by any negligence of the officers, or uncleanlinefs of the crew ; and that no possible exertions were wanting In searching into the cause of it, and endea voring to prevent the eftefts. The exertions of capt. Perry, since his arrival in port, to prevent the contagion from reaching the town, will no doubt be applauded by every description of citizens. The candor with ■which the nature and extent of the ealafnity were immediately difclofedby the officers de serves to be particularly noticed. While we deplore these distressing circum ftauces, in common,with our te!low-citi»ns, and in particular with the relative of the de ceased, we have the fatisfa&ion to congrat ulate the frietids of the remaining sick, on the flattering profpett of their speedy reco very. The frigate is now anchored near Collier's Harbor ; the lick have been sent to the hos pital on that island, and the well go on Chore (it Rose Island for their health. No person is admitted to go on board, or come Irom the ship, so that there is no danger from any contagion—there have died firce the 15th July on bo.ird the fliip 20 ; and 35 have been sent to the hospital at Coaiter's Harbor —all but three walked to the liofpital, and from the change of air and diet are rapidly recruiting.
