Navy on Conf. for acc. 62if Dutch papers and letters to the 13th infant, were received night. The letters of the 12th ex prefs a hope that fome relaxation will take place in the rigour with which the prohibition of intercourfe with this country has been enforced—a prohibition fraught with ruin to the Dutch merchants. The Dutch may with this, and even their Government may wink a little at the intercourfe, but no well grounded hopes can be entertained that NAPOLEON will permit them to follow their own inclinations. The Dutch papers (late fimilar intelligence to what was announced in the laa German papers— that France and Denmark has concluded a Treaty cf Alliance, Offenfive and Defenfive, in conrequence of which French troops are to occupy Holilein and Schlefwick. It feems to be a prevailing opinion in the letters and accounts received from the River Plate, that Britain 101 l the hold it bad begun to have of South America, by treating the country as a conquered colony, inflead of organifmg with the inhabitants a fyilem for the expultion of the Spanilh Government, and for eftablithing the independence of the people. We may regret the folly that led to our difallers in that quarter of the world, but the antipathy that now exiita on the part of the natives will not be removed for generations to come. By what ex ceffes on our part, or by what milapprehenfion on theirs, this antipathy was occationeJ, we have not the means of afcertaining, but the fad cer- tainly is fo.
