HOLLAND. HAGUE, JANUARY 4. The Rate of the wants of our Government to meet the expences of this year is immediately to be publilhed. It is calculated to excite much ferious alarm, if it be confidered that our expences feem to augment at the moment when our revenues fen. fibly decreafe. The general opinion is, that we 'fluff want for the prefent year eighty-five millions of florins ; and as the public receipts amount but 'to thirty-two millions, there will be a deficit of fifty-three millions, for which provifion mutt be made by a new forced contribution, which, like the two.former, will equally affett our revenues and our capitals. The enormity of this deficit is attributed to the fending of our army into Ger many. In the mean time, the Legiflature has taken into difidfion the articles of a projea tive to an uniform mode of Finance for the whole of the Batavian Republic. JAN. zo.—We begin to 'entertain doubts of the fpeedy conclufion of peace, and no credit is given to the reported figning of Preliminaries. It is thought that the balls which is defigned to be efia blifhed at Luneville for peace with the Empire, throws, and will continue to throw impediments in the way of negociation. The public funds would have felt a very material depreffion, from the idea of the remotenefs of peace, had they not been kept up by the Northern Coalition, from the hope that it will induce England to make peace. In the mean time this treaty of armed neutrality mutt be at tended with beneficial effeas to onr Republic, and it feems to tend to the reftoration of friendfhip be tween RufGa and the Batavian Republic. GERMANT. VIENNA, JANUARY ry. a It has already appeared by the lan news re ceived from the army of Italy, that General BEL..

On the evening of the fame day the enemy appro ach ed this advanced guard, as well as the left wing of the army, when Count BELLEGARDE thought proper to make two battalions and a divifion of ca valry advance, by which means the enemy was forced to retire, and in the nien Count Br LI.E• GRAD! effeaed his retreat."—(Court Gazette.) JAN. 21.—a According to the moll recent in telligence from General BILLIOARDR, dated the tt th and i zth, from Caflel-Franco and Trevifo, the enemy has failed, notwith (landing every effort, in preventing the junaion of the corps of VukAll SOWICH with the Imperial army.

Baron de ROSINCILANTZ, the Datifh Minifer at Peterfburgh, who left that capital the Est PE. scia's order, is arrived in the Pruffian territory, and will probably proceed to Berlin. He has already difpatched two Couriers, on the fubjett of his departure, to Copenhagen ; and one has alto • been fent by the Court of Denmark to Peterf burgh, for the purpdfe of giving fatisFaeion to the Emperor PAUL. 'Thus Denniark is fituated be tween two dangers, the part of Raffia and of Great Britain. It remains to be Peen with which of them the will make a common caufe. Baron d'Aamest.n has left this city for Ruffia. M. de Lisasowirz, the Ruffian Milliner at Copengagen (he was formerly at London), who was fuddenly recalled by his Sovereign, is ar rived at Hamburgh, where he is to remain until further orders. It is added, that the polliffion of Egypt is guaranteed by Ruffia to France, and that the lat ter guarantees to the former the poffeffion of Mal ta, which is to be re-taken by the Ruffians who are fill in France, with the affiftance of French troops. The Britifh Charge d'Affaires at Copenhagen has officially announced to that Court the embargo laid upon the Danifh veffels in the Ports of England ; at the fame time efforts are making to detach Denmark from the confederacy with Ruffia ; but it is too late. - The houfe of Meas.
