Refpcaing the new form of Government intended for the Dutch, a letter from the Hague, (if the date of May 22, received yefierday, thus as follows : " Report now rays, that Prince Louts, indignant at the indiffe rence (hewn by the Dutch to receive him a■ their King, has pok tively refufed to accept of that dignity on the (core of compulGon. Neverthekfs, the meafure Is raid by no means to be abandoned ; and Prince MURAT is now mentioned as the future Sovereign of this country.

It was laft night reported that Naroesou has arrived at Brufrels, on his way, it is fuppofed, to the Hague, to give the finifhing aroke to his me ditated work. Letters of the 'l3d from Holland (fate, that the change in the form of Government, in fpite of every I remonarance on the part of the Dutch, is expeited to take place on the ad of June. We have received the Hamburgb Corrdbaskse of the a tit inftant, which is one day later than the Papers brought by the Mail. It contains no intelli gence of importance ; but it is worthy of notice, that we find in it no corroboration of the accounts of the evacuation of the Cattaro, which appear in the Paper of the 26th. It is aUo not a little remarkable, that the Paris Papers to the t 7th, which were received laR week, are fluent on this fubjee, though the retreat of the Ruffian troop► is an event which we flanuld fup pole would have been quickly known and eagerly an nounced in Etat. The Royal Sovereign, Royal Charlotte, and Pt incefs Augufia yatchs, ate preparing at Deptford for the put pore of attending their Maissries at Weymouth. The Panics of WALES entertained a large circle of Private Friends at Dinner yellerday at Carleton Houle. There was a large party to dinner yellerday at Mr. Sue &MAN% in Somerfet Place. At night Mrs. Susatnam gave a ball and fupper, at which almoll every dillinguithed fathionable perfun was prefent. A Paris article in the Hamburgh paper lays : " The converfatinns that have taken place between Lord ELGIN, Colonel ARNRCROMSY, and the Kni tter of State M. de TA LLEYNAND, are the refult of the wifh to cilia an approximation between the Cabinets of Sr. James's and St. Cloud, at lealt to fettle the formalities of the prelminary negotiations; but as yet the , e is no reafon to fuppofe that the princi ples of a m iritime peace have been the fubjea of eonverfaticm." The demands upon the Eleaorate of Hanover are twenty five thoufand rix dollars (four thoufand pounds Reding) monthly more than during the pe riod of the French occupation; and the pretext for this additional expenditure is, that his Pruflian Ma jelly is under the necaty of paying the fums bor- rowed by France from the Hans Towns. No commifflon, we underhand, WU fent from the Admiralty on Saturday hitt to Donors' Commons, as Rated in the Morning Poll of yellerday, to iffue Let ters of Marque againtt Pruflian and Pappcnburgh veffels, purfuant to the order of Council in the Ga zette.

The following (hocking accident occurred on board I •h e Anne, Captain WALKDEN. nn Thurfday afternoon, At Hull : The two boats being laid upon deck, the crew were ordered to hoill the (mall one out of the long boat.

Mr. SMITH was formed)" of Liverpool, aselia father to Mn. J. Wooaer, of that place. • CAPTAIN WRIGHT.. The fate of this gallant Officer ought to be known in every part of the civilized world. We fhoold think ourfelves dead to every feeling of joßice and humanity if we did not exert our efforts in expofing the unexampled barbarity of the French Government, and the (late of degradation to which the French na tion muff be reduced, when fuck enormities are com mitted and tolerated. Our Readers will recoiled that Captain Wet° wr was confined in the Temple in Pols, becaufe his (hip had conveyed Tome Royalifts to France. We seed not appeal to the hifiory of former wars, becaufe the French have annihilated every veftige of precedent and of folemn convention. But during the laft, when we took many of the (hips that landed rebels in Irt. land and (pies in Great Britain, we treated their Commanders and Officers as prifoners of war, who were exchanged, and had every privilege ufually granted to brave men taken in combat. Sir SIDI ay SMITH was likewife in the Temple. He was fortunate enough to efcape ; but had be lived to the reign of Boot. AAAAA I, he would have (hared the fate of his brave countryman Weratr, becaufe he would have difplayed the fame inflexibility of prin. ciple, the fame attachment to his country. The French Government conceived, that Captain WILIGHT was in the fecrets of his Government, and determined that if he refufed to become a traitor, he timid print a viaim. DIISMARTTS, Foucris's Pri. vate Secretary, ordered him to a final private inter rogatory, in which he offered him a large fum of money, and the rank of Admiral in the French fervice, if he would divulge what he knew of the plans of his Government, and of its correfpondence with the difaffeSed in France. This fpirited Officer replied with indignation to dude propolals ; but as they were frequently repeated with new allurements, he concluded with remaining filent. He was then told, that the torture fhould loon reftore him the ule of his voice. He was feized and laid on the rack. There he uttered no complaint, though inliruments the mon tormenting were employed. and pains the mon acute were endured, When threatened that he Mould expire in torments, he (aid, Ido not fear to die ; my Country will revenge my murder, and Goo receive my foul." During the two hours of the firit day that he was aretched on the rack. his left arm and right leg were broken, and his nails torn from the toes of both his feet; he then was placed under the care of a furgeon during five weeks; but before he was perfealy cured be was carried to an other private interrogatory, at which, halides Das. MAIM s, Foucits and RIM. were prefent. 1 _ The Mini(ler of Police now informed him, that from the mutilated Rate of his body, he mull be con vinced, that it was not the intention of the French Government ever to reftore him to his country, where he might relate events, which the policy of France required to be buried in oblivion ; he there foie had no choice between retying the Emperor of the French and milking in prifon. He replied that he was reigned to his defliny, and would die as he had lived, faithful to his King and Country. The man in the full poffelEon of his mental qua lities and corporeal Strength, is generally different from that unfortunate being whole mind is enervated by fuffstings. and whole body is weakened by . wants. For five months, Captain Wittour had teen only gaolers, (pies, executioners, fetters, and racks ; his food had been bread, and his drink water. He who, thus Situated, preferves his native dignity and innate Sentiments, is more worthy of monuments or Rattles than the Legiflator or the Conqueror. Captain Watc or was again Stretched on the rack, and what is called by the French regenerators the I torments, were inßifted on him. After he had been pinched with red hot irons, brandy and gunpowder were pined into his wounds, and let fe• veral times rn fire, until his fleth was nearly burnt to the bones. In the convulliont, the confeetnence of there fufferings, he is laid to have bit off a part of his tongue; but Pill no groans were heard. As life remained, he was again placed under the care of a furgeon ; and a fpy, in the drefs of a Prriteßant Clergyman, prefented himfelf, as if to pray by him. This offer he accepted, but when this man be gan to make Come infidious queßions, he cart on him a look of contempt, and never (poke to him again. 1 At lalt, every method to obtain information from him proving ineffectual, a Mameluke Strangled him' on his bed. Thus expired a hero, whofe fate has ex cited more compaflion, and, whore charaaer has re ceived more admiration, even in France, than any of the great men who have fallen fighting for the mighty NAPOLIONi. Captain WatcHY has diffufed new rays of glory on the Brian; name, from his dun- 1 geon and from hit tomb. If any thing could equal the barbarity of the deed, it is the barefaced impudence with which the French Government acquainted the world with his death. We extra& the relation from the Svaa of November as tranflated from the Gazette tit Frame: " Captain Watt:NT, of the Englifh Navy, a prifoner in the Temple, has put an end to his exit tence in his prifon, after having read in the Moniteur an account of the deltruflion of the Auftrian army !" This atrocious aft may, to fome of our Readers, appear incredible. The Writer, on whole authority we MAW molt of the particulars, thus 'explains the means of his knowledge : 6 . Captain %tone was attended by a furgeon of the name of \revamp, who gained his confidence, and was worthy of it. From caufes eafily conceived, he furvived his pa- tient only twelve hours ; during which he wrote the 'hocking details, and fent them to three of the mem. ben of the Foreign Diplomatic Corps, with a prayer to have them forwarded to Sir SIDMAN Sutra or to Mr. WINDHAM. From one of tbofe Miniflers I have obtained the original, in Vetrosean's hand writing.r! We are now to Rate a eirenmeance within our knowledge, which, to a certain extent, corroborates the falls thus Rated : Mr. A-r, an American, being in Italy left year, during the coronation of BUONAPARTI at Milan, had the curiofity to fie the ceremony. He was fined in that city as an Eng. lilh fpy, and conveyed to Paris, when he was depo. fired in the Temple. In vain he proteßed his inno cence ; his guards were as deaf to his proteftations as the hwnaxe CAULINCOURT (we believe that to be the wretch's name), who feized and carried the Duke &Eno mists to Paris. He would probably have Coon found his way through the oubrieetet, had not a laundrefs difcovered on his linen a mark, by which the knew that he was an American. This in. telligence was communicated to the American Am baffador, who retnonftrated with TALLIYAAND. The fad was denied, but the Hargebgresfi perfevered, proved her affertion, and Mr. A r was re heated. He has ' mentioned that he few in this Temple Captain WatoliT, who told him that he had been fed with bread and water for tome weeks, th a t he had been interrogated, that he had been threat. ened with torture and with death, if he did not difco ver what he knew ; and that as he war determined to preferve his honour and his fidelity, he had nothing to expel but the moo miferable end. • Pali, j•r let 041:ettes Is t►e pbrare fn Frame fbr afecrd cue. cutiou.
