Restoted to that people whom I never ceased to bear in remembrance, I be lu,ld myself, after 19 years absence, as a father is the' midst of his family. 44 Never, Netherlanders, shall my reception in Hol land—never shall my entrance into Amundsen!, be effaced from my memory ; and, by your love I pro. wise you, you shall not find yousselves deceived. It , is your wish, Netherlanders, that I should stand in a higher relition towards you, than I should have stood in had I never been absent. Your confidence, your love, places the sovereignty in my hands, an d lam urged on all sides to assume it, inasmuch as the ne sessity of the country, and the situation of Europe, require that I should do so. 44 Be it so. I shall sacrifice my own opinions to your wishes ; I undertake whatethe Netherlands offer sue ; but I undertake it alone under the guarantee of a wise constitution, which shall secure your freedom against all possible future abuses; I undertake it, under the full impression of the duties which this ac ceptance Imposes upon me. - u My ancestor's gave birth to your independence. The maintenance thereof shall be the incessant task of the and my posterity. I rely in the present circumstances, still somewhat critical, upon your-co-operation and sacrifices; and after a short period of exertion, under GOD'S assist mime, no foreigner shall any longer be able, upon your own tetritory, to resist the ardour of the renovated nation and the triumphant arms of our Allies. • " Done At the Council-house of Amsterdam, this 2d of December, 1813.

This morning the agreeable news arrived, that the 1 town of Brille, which, in the days of our ancestors, was the 6tst that was delivered from the Spanish yoke, is now liberated from French domination. The French Commandant haring been abandoned part bf the garrison, mostly Prussians and Du , was mastered, with the rest, by the citizens of Brule themselves, made prisoter, and his already been brought in here. Our troops have also made them selves Masters of the Fort at Ooltgensplaat. On Wkdnesday last, his Highness the Prince of. Orange, with a considerable suite, and amidst thou sands of spectators, lot the. first time since his arrival in this residence, aisisted at divine service in the Great Church, which was performed by Dr. Bernardus Ver wey, who took for his text, Psalm cxxvi. 3. 44 The Lours bath done great things for us, therefore are we glad." Dk.ring the service, there were sung portions of the 66th, 121st, and 12gth psalms. The talents of the preacher, the profound attention of the audi tnce, the feelings excited on the occasion, and the re flection that we had once more amongst us the sup port of religion and the church, altogether produced an effect which it would be impossible to describe. ROTTERDAM, DECEMBER 1. At half past four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the French evacuated the town of Shoonhoven. On passing the Lek they detained all the boats on the other side. _ _ Monday evening a detachment of Cossacks enter. ed this city, and passed the night in the square next the Doele, from which they yesterday marched off. They conducted themselves in the most friendly man ner, and met with a joyful reception from thousands of persons. Yesterday arrixed from the Brille, Helvaet, and other places, another numerous body of soldiers and Bailors. The entire crew of the Lynx sloop of war, consisting of about 150 men, have also arrived here from Helvoetsluys. DEC. s.—This morning a considerable corps of Prussian troops, both horse and foot, entered our city. Both men and horses seem in as good a state as when they first took the field. We learn from Leer, that 150 privAers passed through there on their way to Bremen. One half of them were Swiss, and had enlisted in the Prussian service : the rest were douaniers. Oa the 24th ult. the ship Jonge Jacob arrived at Embden, from Heligoland, laden with coffee, sugar, indigo, cocoa, and calicoes. An energetic address has appeared here, calling upon our townsmen to subscribe for the relief of the unhappy sufferers at Woerden. Our Burgomaster, Mr. Van Hogendorp, has issued an otder, appointing Sunday next to be obsci ved as z day of solemn thanksgiving in all the churches of this city. DORT, DECEMBER 1. Yesterday afternoon we were again alarmed by a midden attack from the side of Gnrcum. The enemy (about 380 strong) unexpectedly attacked our battery at the upper end of Papcndrecht, from which the garrison, consisting only of eight Don gunners, and a few Rotterdam and Skiedam volunteers, after dis. charging a few rounds of cannon shot, and keeping up a fire of musketry fa some time, found themselves under the necessity of retiring :—in consequence of which, the enemy speedily approached the ferry nearly opposite the city. The only consequence of this at tack is, the wounding of a few individuals on board the gunboats. soon after this attack, yesterday evenw, a farther reinforcement of gun-boats was placed in front of this city, upon the river. It is reported that the French garrison of Dantzic has capitulated. 4EPOII4' OF THE ADMIRAL OF THE ZUIDEUZEE TO THE COMMMARIES OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED NETHEIMANDS. • , 1 This morning, at nine o'clock, I announced to the men in the dock-yard at Kattenburg, that his Highness the Prince of Orange had yesterday arrived *, I • ita the itagut, and would th4lay, or to-iisOrraw, pay' I 1. tit al visit: _ - 1 , i On this siCcasion I caused die flags Of alt liar Allies to be heisted. together with the Dutch, oft the asotiehooset, tamely, :he English.

Weilave received Dutch Papers and Letters to the 1 4th inst. carrying up to that period the accounts of the Emancipation of Holland. On the 30th ult. the 'Much troops evacuated Schonhoven, and passed the Let. On the 2d inst. the Brill was liberated : and the 'Dutch troops made themselves masters of the fort at Ooltgensplaat. A battery at Buitensluis was . taken by a party of Volunteers, headed, it should seem, by an Englishman, since he announced his success by a note in the English language, signed 0 J. ADAMS."—.Admiral VERDOHEN, appointed to the chief command in the Zuiderzee, had made an official Report of the spirit which animated all the people of the Doek-yards, and which had communicated itself so widely to the crews of the Texel fleet, that VERBUEL, afraid to trust the greater part of them aboard, had turned them ashore, and shut himself up in the fort of la Salle. Private letters add, that his chief reliance was on a body of about 800 French soldiers, with whom he had manned the batteries at the Helder, commanding the fleet. i A day of public Thanksgiving was proclaimed at the Hague .on Wednesday last, and the Prince of ORANGE 'attended Divine Service. The French tyranny has not obliterated that sense of religion which was the chief glory of the Dutch Common wealth, and the ornament of her Citizens. A sensible and affectionate Address from the Prince of OItANGE to his countrymen, has been issued, in which his Serene Highness seems to disavow all in clination on riis own part, to have assumed any other title than that of STADTIIOEDEIt, so long and so ho nourably borne by his ancestors. He declares, that in this respect he submi t s his will to that of his country men : and, indeed, all concurring accounts lead us to believe, that the Dutch nation was anxious to mark most strongly its attachment to a native Prince, and to strengthen his hands by an additional share of power to resist the common enemy. Thirteen thousand of the Allies had passed through Utrecht, in their way to relieve such places as were still in the possession of the •enemy, the chief of which were Breda, Bergen-op-Zoom, and Goxcum. Hclvoetsluys was also, according to late advices; in French occupation ; but news of its fall was momen tarily expected, as a combined naval and military force had proceeded at once against it. His Excellency Baron WASSENBACH retains his situation as Austrian Minister at the Court of Lon don, Pt ince METTERNICH having written to him to express the entire approbation of the Emperor of Ausi•ulA with his conduct in the negociation with which he was entrusted. It will be recollected that Baron WASSENBACH was last year the bearer of the assurances to our Government from the Cabinet of Vienna, of the sincere desire of the Emperor of A usratA to shake off his connection with France, and to contribute to, the overthrow of BONAPARTE. Mr. NEUMANN is on his way to Vienna, as Secretary to the Austrian Embassy. Bavaria sends a Minister to London, and also Wittemberg. Both are on their way. A mistake has crept into most of the London Jour nals, in assigning the mission to Switzerland of Count TALLEYRAND to C,UT old friend TacurnaNn, Prince of Benevente. The latter personage is Jailor to the Royal Family of Spain, and resides with them at Rome. Count TALLEYRAND is nephew to this worthy gentleman. Another nephew, Co/oad e TALurraANlN was lately taken prisoner by the Austrians, in the Debouches of Bohemia. Both have received classi cal educations ; their morale was supplied by their uncle. We cannot of course speak for its purity. 4, DEAL, DECEMBER 7. 41 His Serene Highness the Duke of BRUNSWICK Oats, with his suite, arrived at RicinitaN's, the King's Hotel, about one o'clock this morning, on his way to , Germany.
