HOL LAND. NACUI, APLIL 110....-A Proclamation has beer publifhed at Antwerp, in both the French and Dutch languages, declaring the Scheldt free, and inviting all merchants to take advantage of this important liberty. Amu. 2.—CitizensVan Spaan Van Voorilonde, and Weftreenan Van Themant, appointed by the Government of State Miniliers Plenipotentiaries at the C. In of Vienna and Stockholm, have al. ready, in that capacity, paid their vifits to the Di plomatic Body reeding here. The once moll invetemtc enemies of England begin to look towards that country with a more favourable eye than hitherto, conceiving it highly politic to be in poifeffion of a check, should their formidable friends hereafter be difpofed to alit too much on the fcore of former fervices I It was alwaysthe view of the Old States Gene ral, in efpoufing the intereft of England, to pro vide for the safety of our commerce, and the fe curity of our foreign poffiffions in time of war, as confidering that country more formidable on the ocean than themfelves or Fiance. This too was the invariable maxim of the Pais c E of ORANGE, to which he was flimulated by a pure love for his country, and not, as has fo often and fo fucceff bid y been reprefented to his pre; udice, private par tiality for his illuftrious relation on the throne of X.ngland. Ana thole who operatru ills ruin tor this crime, begin now to fee the neceffity of pur- Cuing the fame meafures. GERMANY: VIRWRA, APRIL 3.—The Englifh Envoy here has received a courier from Conaantinople, Hating, that aU the differences between the Englifh and Turkifh Commanders in Egypt have been accom modated, to the fatisfaaion of both parties. PasswAs Oc Lou threatens the confines of Wa lachia. It is now pofitively a Irerted, that the Hungarian nation, at the enfuing Diet, will demand that Dal matia (ball be united to the kingdom of Hungary. Several individuals here have formed themselves into a trading company, with intention to fit out a (hip at Trielle, which is to fail from that port on the tII of June, laden with Auflrian products, fuch as hardware, lead, tobacco, brandy, linen and woollen cloths, glafs, &c. direOly for Sierra Leone, to exchange there her lading for African com modities.

ZAIT IR Tut SD* oldty at all the Pubic Went The Ratification of the DeF.nitive Treaty is now anxioufly looked for, and will probably arrive in a day or two at fartheß. The Ratification on the part of Spain could hardly reach Paris before this time, conlidering the difiance, and allowing for the flow forms of that Court. The proclamation of Peace will take place loon after ; the fixing of the time belongs to the Minißers. Three Hamburgh Mails have arrived fince yef terday's publication. Their contents had, how. ever, been in a great meafure anticipated by the accounts received through France and Holland. This day we received the Paris Journals of the 16th intl. which contain fome particulars refpeCt ing the Treaty between France and the Regency of Tunis. We expeCted they would have brought farther information refpedting the Rate of affairs in St. Domingo ; private letters from Paris having Rated that the ad vices had not been publifhed down to the departure of the veffel, and that they con tained the very unexpefted intelligence of Gene rals ROCHASIZEAU and HUMBERT having been killed in a fevere aCtion with the Negroes. One or there letters is given in the following columns, along with extraels from the printed Journals. — Tier: Collo/ides gsfr. 30 C.

At my firft audience I prefented to the Bey the Flrft Conful's letter, together with my powers to enter into a negotia tion. The new articles I propofed to him were maturely examined in his Council, to which I was afterwards invited for diccuflion- The following is the refult : The old treaties are fully renewed, aqd coserrm ed in all their difpofitions.

The time neceffary for tranfporting to Qoletta and ereeting the flag fait, defined for fupporting the national flag, did not admit of its being dif played till the 13th s it was hoifed with all the ufual folemnities. All the foreign Commaaries and the Divan in a body were prefent at this grand ceremony. Sixty merchant veffels, Ruffian, Imperial, and Ragufan, returned the three felines fired from the Lodi.

The latter was difperfed on feveral points, and weakened by forming numer ous garrifons. This being obferved by the Rebels, they fell on the divifion of the French under the command of General Roc HAMBEAU, which they defeated. This veteran General, and HUMBER r, who commanded the expedition to Ireland, ate mentioned as having fallen in the conflict. The Rebels, following up this advant.ige, attacked feveral other divifions, and compelled General LECLERC to EetECBE.-•—SUCh is the furious extent of 1 the rumours in circulation.
