HOLLAND. Riau!, JAN. Ill.—The long depending loan is at length cart ied by a majority of one, there being fourteen ff.r it and thirteen againflit. The Dutch funds on this, not only maintained their prices, but they have aCtually rifen. The Batavian Re fcriptions, payable after the peace, left off yeller day in Am fierdam at 6a}; old three per cent. Na tional Bantle at 48i, and, new ditto at 471. The following is the text of the law relative to the Loan, which is confidered to be of fuch great importance to commerce in general : The amount of the Loan (bars net exceed the deficit in the revenue of the year zsoje for the expenditure of the State during that year. The annual rent of the capital is not to ex ceed Lanocoo florins, and the obligations which are to be de livered to the creditors, Hall bear but an intereft of 3 per cent. Thole who Gall fubfcribe to the Loan one Batavian reknit tion, of the nominal value of loco florins, payable after the peace, Mall, by adding too florins to it in fpccie, receive three national obligations of loco Sarin. each, bearing three per cent. intereft. Thole who (hall fubleribe an obligation of the raft India Company, payable with Roo florins in fpeeie, mall alfo receive three national obligations, each of moo florins. at three per cent. The Interefts in arrears due in the year 800 Mall be made good to the Subfcribers, and paid out of the Eno florins, which they are to add to their obligations. All the Ba tavian refcriptions payable after the peace, which mall not be fubferibed to the new loan by the 2241 of next September, Mall be converted into perpetual flock at four per cent. The above-mentioned India ebligations, which Gall not be fubfcribed during the year 1803, Shall not be payable (,aLyZaar), and Gall be confidercd as if their numbers had not been drawn out of the Lottery. Some further provifions are to be made, by which certain other funds may be fubfcribed, which bear an intereft of a} per Cent. An obligation of 'coo florins at per Cent. will then be delivered in exchange for an obligation of More funds of the nominal value of 7 00 florins, but 200 florins in fpecie mug be added. To infure a capital neaffary to pay the intercll of this loan. there is to be an increafe of a mth, or to per Cent. upon all Duties on the following articles: wine, vinegar,dißilled liquors, mineral waters, tobacco, beer, cattle, homed cattle, butter, fait, foap, wood, coals and turf, !tortes, feeds, coffee and tea confumed, fcrvants, and articles of luxury. The increafe of to per Cm:twill he only for two years; after which It will be replaced by gene; al tripoGs. The new tax is to take place front the flrft of July. The tax upon the net produceof fucceiliona is to beincreafed 10 per Cent. - - - On the 4th init. the Government of State pallid a Proclamation fer the bolding of a day of general thankfgiving and prayer on the 2d of March en fuing. The following are amongft the chief paf fages of this State Paper : " It is true that the deftroying fword of war, raging not only on our frontiers, but alto in the heart of the country, has devallated our fertile fields, and drenched itfelf in the blond and tears of our fellow countrymen : it is true, that foreign ar mies have covered our native ground; that we have been plundered of the ereofure: of our commerce; that our colonies and poffefflons, as well as our valua ble national fleets, have fallen into the hands of the enemy ; that all the fources of our profperity have been flopped or impeded : and that the immure difburfements which arofe from fuch a pitiable (late of things, have compelled the impofitions of almoll infufferable taxes on the fhoulders of our impoverifh. ed inhabitants. It is true, that floppages occafion ed by ice, and inundations in feveral diftrids, have brought on us innumerable difafters; that tempefts, the fury of which were before unknown to us, have waited our coals and our dikes, and given the critical water Rate of the country a Rill more dan gerous afped. It is finally true, that in the micift of all there 4/Wafters, civil divifions and party rage, far from having been extinguiflied, have flamed with renewed violence, and that too in fpite of the conviCtion eftabli(hed by fo many inflances, that this Republic, grown formidable by unanimity, can only be fared by union. " But who, having ferioufly contemplated on all this, can withhold his alloniflrment that we have ftruggled through thefe manifold difafters, and that after In many calamities, this Commonwealth may be called a good and privileged country. We are not blotted out from the lift of nations, and are Dill recognifed as a free and independent people by the moll formidable States of Europe. Our commercial credit remains unimpaired in the mid( of the molt de ftruttive [hocks ; we are Hill beloved and refpeded in the eye of our neighbours; and in the height of civil broils, we have been perferved from fcenes of cruelty and inhumanity. Each fuc ceffive year has been diftinguifhed either by ferti lity or abundant harvefts ; want and famine, in times of the greateft fcarcity, have never (talked over our frontiers; no uncommon epidemical ma lady has fpread devaftation among our families; and that fcourge, the dillemper among the horned cattle, kerns fuddenly to have ceafed from char. tiling this country. " Onr wounds, however, are not entirely healed: the national debt is at inch a height that, without wife management and frugality, the moll fearful profpeds would be opened to us. Our commerce is undermined or impeded by formidable rivalry ; our fabrics and manufaltories arc fallen into a mortal Rate of inadivenefs ; the number of our penurious citizens is daily increafing and the deamefs of the neceffaries of life, which - Rill con tinues, gives redoubled force to the afoending la mentations of pallid necelfity." The Proclamation comprifes a retrofped of the left twenty years; from the events of which period our Legiflators have difeovered fond for a day of general thankfgiving, and fubjeds for general prayer. By the fudden and rapid effects of the freft in this country, five or fix (hips oppofite Dort, are locked up in • nations which may prove dangerous when the ice ate.: to give way. As loon as a courier returns from Paris, whom General Vicroe has difpatched thither, the 141 hand will be put to the Louillana expedition. The troops to be embarked confill of fix battalions of infantry of the line, t9O dragoons of the 13th re giment, a choice corps of Luides, and a detachment of artillery.

By this conveyance we learn, that an Viet of rather a fingular nature has juft been ;fined at St. Peterlburgh. It ferves to prove that the Em. peror ALEXANDER entertains proper views refpea• ing the advantages which refult from Commerce. By this Aft the Nobility of the Ruffian Empire are fully empowered to carry on Wholefale and Maritime Commerce. without forfeiting thereby their titles or any of their rights. It is well known, that on the zoth of Oltober, iSoi, tome fupplementary articles to the Conven tion.concluded on the 17th July, r Hot, between his Majelly the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Emperor of all the Ruffias, were figned at Mofcow by the Plenipo tentiaries of the two Powers, and afterwards ratified by his bar z aux Mayasry at Peterlburgh, 4th January, Ifioa.—The hitherto unknown tub fiance of them is as follows: If a Ibip is detained without caufe, the proprietors of the fbip and cargo are entitled to a proportionate indemnifica tion for every day of the detention. When either of the Powers complains of the fentcnce which the Admiralty of the (Aber has paffed refpelting prizes, the affair is to be brought in England before the King's Privy Council, and in Ruffia before the Senate. Both Powers proznife that difputes concerning prizes, null be determined as Coon as poffible. No part of the prize than be fold or un loaded, before the decifion. The freedom of corn. merce or navigation, does not entitle neutrals to tranfport goods immediately from the colonies of a Belligerent Power to the Continent, or the con trary. The Neutral Powers fhaU, however, enjoy all the privilege of the moil favoured nations, as the,Uniteil States of North America.

In our larl publication we Rated that the dit tnrbances in the South arofe from a mere conten tion amongll labourers—whetherierry men thould intrude upon the inhabitants of the other counties of Munfter ' or whether by force and cruelty that loyal and laborious race fliould Rand excluded;— and we alerted that *the Noblemen and Gentle. men of Munfier would exert themfelves, they would &only put an end to thole difgraceful outrages, which from their inaaivity have too long been per mitted to take plice. Subfequent events have proved that we were right : for by letters yellerday received, it appears that in two counties ( Waterford and Tipperary) the almoß tingle exertions of Lord DON OVG MORE have been fufficient to reflore tranquillity : hap pily for the public, Knocklofty, the feat of his Lordfhip, is on the borders of thole two counties; and like the Lords Marcher, of yore, his Lordfhip felt it his duty to maintain the fecurity of both ; with invincible fortitude and indefatigable labour, he exerted every power of body and of mind to complete his objea; and what is very remarkable, the fix criminals at Waterford, who are now under condemnation, and thirteen conviets of Clonmel, were all committed by Lord DONOUG H moi E. . . We do therefore again repeat, that it is to No. hlemen and Gentlemen of high rank and great leading that the country is to look for its peace ; the fates which have occurred in the counties of Waterford and Tipperary, prove that the fwnrd and the arm of the law are fufficiently powerful, and that they only want to be directed to their proper objeds.—Dubtur journal. On Wednefday there was a meeting of the Magiftrates and Gentlemen of the county of Li merick, in confequeace of the difturbed (late of that county ; when a Committee was appointed to frame an Addrefs to his Excellency the Lord Lieu tenant,prayinghins to have Paid county proclaimed. -.-Cloamel Gazette.

Early on Saturday morning left, the Northern mail coach was attacked near Drogheda by fecen armed men, who, after firing feveral (hots, and wounding the coachman feverely, robbed the coach and paffengers, and carried off the bags. Rewards have been offered for apprehending the robbers. The fame night the poft•boy with the Wexford mail was robbed on Galloping• Green by two per. Cons armed. j'AIIIJARY 20. Yefterday morning. the mail bags which were robbed at Galloping Green, were brought to town by Major Siaa. They were found in a field near the road, and a number of letters which the de. predators confidered as no ufe to them. We have the fatisfaaion of Rating, that through the exertions of Lord Dom sruo it moat, tranquility has been completely eftablilbed in the counties of Waterford and Tipperary. We have now the further fatisfaaion of adding, that his Lordfbip's fpirited example has excited an emulation amongft the Noblemen and Gentlemen of the county of Limerick to purfue a firmilar coadua. On Monday night the Limerick Mail C:ach was attacked at Cherrybill. near Kildare. by a large gang of robbers. who fired feveral (hots at the coach and horfes. The attack was gallantly refilled by the guard, who returned fhot for thot, and having killed two of the robbers, carried on the mail in fafety. One of the horfes was keenly wounded.
