AUGUST 17.—The Royal Courant contains the fol lowing article he peaceable citizens and the friends of order may be assured, that none of the reports which are in circulation relative to matters incompatible with the solemn promises of the King to consult the wel fire of his people, can ever have any foundation in fict. We have crosses enough without superinducing imaginary calamities. We should have the fortitude to support the evils which arise out of the present situation of Europe, from a conviction that none know and feel them more sensibly than the Govern ment, and that more effectual means cannot be adop ted to alleviate them than those which have actually been resorted to. In expectation of the speedy re establishment of general tranquillity and order, which is so necessary, not only for this but for all countries without exception, we should support the State by placing an unshaken confidence in the Government ; and by persuading ourselves, that far from wishing to diminish the comparative advantages of Holland with regard to other countries, by the peat misfor tunes and burthens which she suffers, its only aim, interest, principles, and feelings, can be no other titan such as accord with the wishes of the whole nation. a Besides, the government of this kingdom is not arbitrary. It is a monarchy, but a monarchy regu lated by the constitution and fundamental laws of the State; and nothing that essentially respects personal freedom, private property, and liberty of conscience, can be determined but in virtue of a law • more par ticularly as his Majesty considers these three interest ing rights to be those whose inviolability and protec. tion constitute the principal part of the high duties which devolve upon him." Auo. 19.-.-This morning his Majesty left this place for Loo. On the 14th, his Excellency General. Brune, Master of the Horse, was introduced to his Majesty, and took the oaths upon his new appointment. EISINEUR, JULY 12.

The brig had two killed and six wiannaed, one of them so badly that he can scarcelyliete. in was much damaged in her hull, and a bail lodge in her main mast, which rendered it entirely unitrviceable.
