DLITC II PAPERS. THE HAGUE, SEPIMMBER 13. - , Our Pape:s contain long lists of the Members of the Equestrian Order, an.l of the Deputies for Cities' and Towns, who hive been nominated by the Prince Sovereign Jro :he Assembly of the States. Preparalons are making for a naval and military expedit,on to re-occupy Batavia. Artificers of diffe rent kinds have been invited to proceed with it, for thz purpose of 'refestablishing fort Surrabaya, in the Island of Java.. The ilagur CuJrant of this date contains the follow ing Par3gr:trii : " It is s !id that the Princess of `Vales has prepared a Memorial addressed to all the Powers of Europe." ALTONA, SEPTEMBER a. YesterJay evening the Ki:v of Denmark, our Sovereign, entered this city with a considerable reti nue, on his uay to the Congress of Vienna. The afflirs which require his presence there are those re lating. to Norway, to a fair compensation for the loss or that kiuti,dom, and to the relations of the Danish States on b , :h sides of the Eyder with Germany.— Covnt 13 , ..rnstorf is already at Vienna. During the King's absence, the Queen, with a Council of State, will conduct the affairs of Government. The King is expected back by the 28th of October, being hor I%l*sty's bitch-day, when also the coronation of their Majesties 'Will take pace. One of our journals contains the following : ,‘ All that bas been hitherto said as to differences among the great powers, is built merely on groundless reports, originating in the French Papers, and dissemi neo by thoughtless peopk.." COPENHAGEN, SEPTEMBER S. •The recent disturbances in Norway have been con fined to a tu:nult at Christiania, which at least dis covered the•real sentiments of the people, with re gard to the union with Sweden. In the mean time, even here, where people - were 'disposed to view with satisfaction the opposition of the Norwegians, an; uhere-their successes were as much exaggerated as they were diminished in the Swedish reports, the affair seems now beyond redemption, and all re, riev - of the war impossible. The following is men tioned as the cause which led to the tumult In the pocket of the Swedish Governor of Wermeland, who was shot at Licit, were found the plans of the Nor. wegian military operations, and also a domestic cor respondence, in which a Bishop, three Generals, am: a Counsellor, were implicated. In consequence re this,'one General was taken i.ito custody, brough to the fortress, and Genet al Ahrei;f4.l.l app.inted successor. The latter discovered that the Qtarter- Master-General had for five days kept back the pto. • visions for the army, which was thus paralysed b 3 hunger and want ; and althinigh the guiliy were saved by the event of the convention, yet the people plundered the lionse General liaxthatrien, Aieatia. Three °dicers have been condemned to dead', anifteveral others put in prison. 4 g . The Norwegian ports appear now open, for a veisel has arrived here from Christiania." THE EVENING STALL LON DON.

(Minium 3 dis.—Eschequer pro. Halifax Papers to the 12th of August, have arrived. They contain some intelligence of importance. No action of serious moment has hero fought on t:;t fron tiers of Canada, subsequent to that of .he sth of July, in which a handful of British in:itle such a 10 llant stand against superior numbers. A most gallant enterprize, on a stnall scale, had since been undertaken by Major Ev...Ns, with thirty two men, with the most complete success. - Being sent out on a reconnoitring party, the Major found him self, and his small party, surrounded by 200 Ameri cans ; as might have been expected nom British sol diers, when headed by an officer of spirit, they deter mined to cut their way through, which they literally effected. The Americans were commanded by a General SWIFT, who was killed. From the United States we have but scanty intel- ligence : that unhappy country is now so interse-Aed by our 13 , ,at,expeditions, and the miserable inhabitants are so frightened that their Journalists can scarcely give a distinct account of any thing that passes. We have only been able to scle:t one or two intelligible . 'articles. The British Commanders, in occupying Moose Island, Eastport, and some other places adjoin ing our pnssessi nsatross,the Atlantic, have formally declared their annexation to the British Crown ! This has alarmed the American Government, and well it may : how completely have the tables been turned upon them —their's was a war of conquest and ambi tion, at its commencement—now it is one of defence ; and Great Britain has justly wrested froni them some of their most valuable possessions, to secure her own from all further encroachment. We subjoin a set of Resolutions voted by the In habitants of New Bedford, with a view to shew how unanimous and cordial the Americans are in the pro secution of the WM' against Great Britain. It wEI also prove that there are some honest and intelligent individuals, even in America, who execrate tbe•csystem of annoying a magnanimous enemy, by means of Privateers. The good men of New Bedford so lemnly renounce all participation in this nefarious and frau !okra Lit)cl of warf4re : FUST:ICRIPT 10 THE HALIFAX JOURNAL OF AUGUST 8. T;le MAil arrived at one o'clock this afternoon from Qaellec ; left there the 26th ult. The Sd and 58th reg:ments, part •of General Power's brigade from Bourdeaur, had reached there ; the remainder, tht sth and 27th regiments, with a division of Irtillerx , WAS nrlneutly expected, as was also General Iker,.pt's I,l;gade, compo:ca of the gal,.

The troops from Bourdeaux, under General Ross, had arrived there, and were to sail in a day or two after the St. Lawrence left the Island, for the Chesapeake. Admiral Cochrane was soon to follow. MONTREAL, JULY 23. NIAGARA FRONTIER.—On the 12th, in the evening, Major Evans was detached with a part of the Light Company of the King's Regiment, amounting to s 2 men, to &salver if the enemy were on a road lead ing to our army ; he had not advanced far, before he discovered that General Swift with 200 men, had laid in ambush for him ; in this situation, the only resource he had was to force hi s way through them, which he did. Early after the skirmish commenced, General Swift was killed, as were 17 of his men.— Major Evans was a short time priaoner, but extri catcd himself and made his escape. A f.'w of our small vessels have left Kingston with stores and pro visions, for General Riall's army, and the remainder still remain in port. BOSTON, AUGUST 2. The Dutch sloop of war Ajax, arrived hcre on Sunday last from Helvoetsluys, with his Excellency M. Chagnion, Ambassador from the Sovereign of Holland, to the United States. At the latest dates from Sackett's Harbour, our fleet had not sailed. HALIFAX, AUGUST A. A •essel which arrived on Thursday morning from Quebec, on the 28th ultimo, off Cape Chat, passed a fleet of upwards of sixty sail of square-rigged yes aels, among which were several ships of the line ; every one of them with troops on board. A - boat rout one of the transports informed, that they were from Bourcleaux, with the 2d and 3d divisions of the trmy from thence, said to amount from ten to twelve rhuusand effective men ; and, from the course of the winds, it is probable that those ships may have reached Quebec on Monday last.

NEW LEDFORD, JULY CI. At a legal meeting of the inhaLitants of this town yesterday, the fillowinz, among other votes, were isassvd • Voted unatiinmusly, as ernrssive of the sen!e the inh Lbitants of this town, that inasmuch as we have ur,ifo:mly disailproved of the unne cessary, and ruinous war in which the United Stites are engaged, we have considered it to be our duty to abstain, and have scrupulously abstained from all interest and concern in sending out private armed vessels to harass the commerce of the enemy, and from all voluntary acts which appeared to us to have a tendency to prolong the duration, encourage the pro secution, or increase the ravages of the unprofitable contest; that we have seen with disapprobation several private armed vessels belonging to other ports taking shelter in our peaceful waters, and regret that we have not the authority by law, wholly to exclude them from our hatbour, where they serve to increase our dangers, and to excite tumult, disorder, riot, and confusion. " Voted unanimously—as expressive of the sense of the inhabitants of this town, that private armed vessels, while cruising in various climates, e , ' and visit ing ships and vessels from every country, are ex tremely liable to contract and receive on board infec tious diseases and that in such cases there is every reason to suspect that such vessels, and the persons, baggage, clothing, and goods on board, may be in fected with some contagious distemper. Voted unanimously—as expressive of the sense of the inhabitants of this town, that the safety of the inhabitants thereof requires, that any,private armed vessel or vessels, which shall arrive or be bound into the harbour of New Bedford, from any port or place, shall be required to perform quarantine during a term of not less than 40 days; and that the Selectmen and Health Committee of the town, be requested to cause all such vessels to perform quarantine at such place as they shall appoint, and under such restrictions and regulations as they may judge expedient." We have receives Paris Papers of Wednesday.— The Moniieur contains several nfficial documents pre sented to the Chamber of Deputies, in which die King, with a paternal h' nd aflectionate solicitude which will reflect upon him immortal pro. vides for the future ccrnifzrts of the emigrants. The heads of this measure have been already before the public : the emigrants are to vt back such • r. at of tbeir property as remains unsold, and a commission is to report on the validity of their daims. Abbe Montesquieu reported, that the Chamber, of Peers !lad, by way of amendment, suppressed the preamble of the law regulating- the liberty of the , press, and substituted, for article 5., the following ; " If two censors, at least, shall judge ally writing a defamatory libel, or that it may disturb the public tranquillity, or is contrary to die Constitution, or good morals,, the Director-General of Books may order its suppression." Instead of article 7, the Chamber of Peers suggests the following " The Director-General of 130.. ks shall give an account to this Commission of the sup pressi pus which he shall have orckred since the end of the preceding Session, and shall la); before them the opinions of the censors!" The Moniteur also contains a Royal Ordonnance, regulating the exportation of grain, so as to restrain it when the inhabitants cannot procure it under a cer tain price. 'rids is evidently calculated to allay the spirit of insurrection which WAS recently manifested at several of the. French ports, against the exportation of . grain. • The following is a reiteration of the fabrications of which we have long since complained as emana ting from the Paris Journals. Every attempt is evi dently making to excite dissatisfaction against Great Britain and her more immediate Allies on the Con- inent : BANKS OF THY MAINE, SEPT, S. Most afflicting intelligence has been received from the German Provinces, of which the Prince of Orange Nassau has resumed possession since the retreat of the French troops behind the Rhine. The military con-. scription is there not only maintained, but it has be come more vigorous than ever : more than 2000 young men have been raised to phice them in the service of Holland. The Convention concluded in this respect has been published, and it is attempted to justify it by the circumstance of the Prince of Orange being at once Sovereign of both countries. But what has raised the disquietude to the highest degree, is the report that these German troops are destined to be transported to the Dutch Colonies as soon as they are restored to Holland. The Germans are quite in dignant at this project, which it will be difficult to justify. WORMS, SEPTEMPEit 5. Travellers from Mentz assert, that great discontent prcvails on the left bank of the Rhine, where the people are agitated with alternate hopes and fears. This moraing we also received Brussels Pitpers— bnt illey contain little news :—the negociAtiot,s at Ghent, between the English and American Commis- ioners, coatiflue. The Sovereign Prince is nnek;ng a tour through . the Netileilands, to make Limself known to the inha bitants, mil is every where received with the mist en thusiaast;c demonstrations of joy.

A Cork Newspaper says, it has been reported for some days that Mr. PEEL is about to retire from the Secretaryship of Ireland. Kmonr, who in the early part of the week under took to go 100 miles in nineteen successive 11 , )ors, near Tewkesbury, went 60 miles iu 11 hours, and then gave in, on account of excessive fatigue. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRIL—Last night the Ope ratic Drama of The Exile was performed, and afforded a farther evidence of the Public zeal, in giving effi cient countenance and support to the active and sni. rited exertions of the. Managers. The House was numerously if not fully occupied at first, and before the close of the Opera was overflowing in every part. The After-piece was Tirnour the Tartar, with the pun er tul aid of the Equestrian Troop. The chief alteration in Drury-lane Theatre is the removal of the majestic pillars, which gave such grin. deur to the Proscenium. Their places have been supplied by four boxes on each side. Stage don's have been added, which have a slanting direction towards the stage. The Meeting of the Merchants interested in the Trade with Ireland was held on Wednesd ty last, at John's Coffee-house, Cornhill ; and the result of their deliberations was communicated to Mr. Crtoxytt, who, in answer to their application for the bet ter pro tection of the trade in the Irish Channel, as• ured them, that it was the earnest desire of Gnvertoteftt to comply to the utmost of its power with their wishes. In order to carry the intentions of Govetiimene into effect, it was understood that steps would be imme diately taken to appoint convoys to sail at regular periods, from Plymouth, with the ships bound to th.. several ports in Ireland. At the same time Mr. CROKER informed the Deputation, that it was a mis taken idea that all the ships of war seen its the Irish Channel were American privateers, as it had been clearly ascertained, that in•many instances they were British cruizcrs. The fasting girl still excites attention at Brighton : every means are tried to induce her to take a requisite portion of nourishment, without effect. She remains in Preston workhouse, and occasionally drinks a little tea, but refuses bread and butter with it, and will stand'or sit by the window of her room. motionless, for two or or three hours together, uulebs roused from the appatent torpor.
