Citizen SAINT HI LAIRE, General of the 15th Divifion, who was ap pointed the Commander of the troops in Amiens during the continuance of the Congrefs, will re turn to this place within a fortnight. From this it Teems very natural to conclude, that every ar rangement is complete, or at leaft is on the eve of being terminated.

This offi• cer, it is faid, was one of General °ultimo-es Aides-du-Camp, and a native of Livonia, called KNORING. His antagonift was an Hanoverian Gentleman, of the name of H—. They fired four (hots each • the thot which proved fatal en tered the right fide, pierced the heart, and lodged in the ribs of the left fide, from which it was ex tratted after his death. This young officeris ex tremely regretted on many accounts, but particu larly his extraordinary valour. He was of a no ble and very ditlinguiffied family in Livonia. It has been mentioned that this duel 'was the refult of an old quarrel at College, which took place fifteen years ago. • An experiment was made a fhort time ago, at the Prytaneum, on the Pttode in ufe in Egypt for white-wanting walls.

TO THE COMMITTER OF GOVERNMENT. You, Citizens, who governed the Republic under circumftances fingularly difficult, have rea• fon to refer to time, the impartial judge of men and things, the care of pronouncing refpe&ing thole with which your name is affocrated.

Expettation is excited about the ifrue of thefe combats in that part of Europe, which at this moment alone exhibits any appearance of war. There hoftilities would be more decifive, if, as has been reported fome time ago, the CAPTAIN RECIIA went up the Danube for the purpofe of fubduing the rebels in Belgrade, having under his orders a number of g Ni b& officers. This expedition ap pears worthy of the rival of the Grand Vizier, and the defeat of the European rebel would form a fort of counterpoife to the fubmiffion of the Beys in Egypt by the firll minifter of the Porte, and would thus preferve that -equilibrium of glory, and of in fluence fo neceliary in Turkey, to tilde who fiU the WI offices of flaw FIBILI/ART to.—Orders have been fent to the Aultrian General, commanding in Hungary, to watch with greater care than ever over the fafety of the frontiers, face intelligence has been received of the march of the fon of the late Pacha of Bel gristle again(} that city, and of the departure from it loge body of Jaiifraties to meet him tit ft; therefore, believed, that fome bloody anions will foon take place on thefe frontiers.

HAGUE, FEB. r 9 panic feized our mer chants the day before yefferday on the Exchang,: at Antflerdam—the Dutch refcriptions, payable after the peace, fell three per cent.; the renter provifoires of the loan of 1797, fix per cent. ; and the other funds in proportion. The caule of this great and extraordinary tall, unprecedented dur ing the war, was undoubtedly fome difadvantage. ous reports on the negotiations at Amiens—The Reariptions now are 65i. Our Legiflative Aflembly has granted an ex traordinary fix thoufand florins to the Council of Flu(hing, towards keeping in repair the fea-works at that place. The film of 107,800 florins has alto been accorded, towards making good the damages lately fuftained by the inundations ►n the low lands of Zealand. A las of twelve millions of florins will accrue to the public, from the plan jolt adopted of raiting thirty millions by way of lottery. Eight years are proposed for the difcharge of there fortrtwo mil lions. This mode of finance meets with much dif- approbation, the advantages of it being merely con, fined to a few, while it i s p regnant with lofs to the public at large. I have already informed yon that the I.cg',f,a, tive Body, in a General Committee, Linbioned the new plan o trans iiihmitted by the Executive Government. When this refolution was prefented the next day to the Aflembly, at their public fit ting, feveral deputies, who had not been prefent the day before, made a motion a o reC.nfl the :weep, lance of the, plan, maintaining that the plan wee but a half me:Mire, in afmuch as it related only to the tranfit by land, and by the rivers of Holland, and not at all to the tranfit by fea. This opinion WAS, after tome debate, adopted by the majority, and it pets agreed to invite the Government to draw up another plan, in which a law Should be propofed relpeaing the tranfit by fea. In the mean time the antient regulation and tarif upon the tranfit remain in .vigour, which excludes, as well as the plan of the new regulation in quellion, all Englifh produce from entering and patting into and through our territory. Fee. 23.—Long and frequent conferences are at prelim held by the Governors of State on a folemn propolition made by the Baron Rea :its, who is at prefent Chairman, for putting a final termination to the fpirit of fa lion, which is far, very far from fuldieli»g, and which has been takiag firm root ever Since the memorable revolution of teete. Long dircuffions have hcen entered into on there points : how and in what manner this ought to be done ? But they have not been able to come to any decifion; Since no nue ef the Meat hen could controvert the oblervatinn. of Beals a, and which were fupported by IttAßSoxes, That a Government had the power to oppofe the exterior of party rage, but that that power did not extend to the interior of this evil. At length, this pro posal was referred to a committee, who arc to bring out their report this week. To this motion, the consequences of which are not to he computed, and which excites univeral atttenrinn, may be added another circumstance, no leis the fubjed of popular talk ; and which is, the arrival of the He, reditary PaiNCt of ORANGE at Paris, his favoura ble reception by BONAPARTE, the propolitions which he has made, and his condercention in offer ing to place himfelf at the head of the Batavian Confitlfbip. However it may be—whether we fol low the falhion in making BONAPARTE Conful, or content ourfelves with the young Prince—certain it is, that we are on the eve of important event*, The &feels of the new Conflitution are pretty ge nerally felt ; and it may be firmly relied on, that, before the expiration of May enfuing, it will cease to have existence. All parties are emulous to rife fuperior : but the appointment of a pilot to this floating hulk depends, as yet, on BONAPARTE.— Men of underftanding, who are intimately ac quainted with BONAPARTE'S charader, entertain not the fmalleft doubt, but that he will pave the way for himfelf !—To this state of furpence and uncertainty, may be a fcribed:the retardment of a very important matter which has long been in agi tation, namely, the institution of a National Syn, dicate, at the head of which we have, for force time pall, been expecting to fee the Coupf;llor VANDER LINDEN, of Amfterdam. Mr. lattovsa Van DAM, at prefent Secretary of the Weft India Committee, but who was the principal inftrument in enabling the French northern army to penetrate into the bowels of this country, is nearly furious at the attempts which are exerting to overthrow the prefent mining Conllitution; as the framer of which, he is pouring in one defence of it after another; but all his arguments are powerfully con troverted by the Baron RINGERS, and Counfellor VALEKENAAR the firft of whom is for placing the Hereditary PRINCE of ORANGE as a fubordinate Member in the Government; and the latter, for bringing the propofed fyltem of democracy into complete operation. Here again, however, it is BONAPARTE who has the trumpet in his moutleaed whom fame limit proclaim. The Council of Marine has now received its inftrudions : the duties of importation and ex portation, which, after the eed of Jan. 1798, were put under a feparate Government, are again, by this new regulation, committed to the Admiralty. So perfed an idea have our Legiflators of eco nomy, that the labouring poor, who have ro more than an income of 200 ge:lders per ann. are made liable to contribute two guilders yearly from each too for eight years, in support of the late memorable loan of 3o millions. The late Diredors of the Eaft and Weft India Companies have prefented Strong remonitrances againft the monopoly of coffee.
