Last Wednesday his Imperial Majesty being seated on the Throne, surrounded by the Princes and Great Officers of State, the Deputies of Holland were pre sented to his Majesty, and their President, his Ex cellency Admiral Verhuel, delivered the following speech 66 SIRE—Your very faithful subjects of Holland, the Members of the Council of State, of the Legisla tive Body, of the Deputies of the Land and Sea Forces and the Deputies of the City of Amsterdam, have the honour of presenting themselves at the -feet of your Majesty's Throne, respectfully to declare the senti ments of admiration, confidence and obedience with which they are animated. " The Dutch People, Sire, known in the annals of history by the exploits of their heroes, by the spot. less character of their Statesmen, and the o xertions made by them to obtain and maintain their indepen dence, are still possessed of a strong recollection of the virtues of their forefathers. The great events which Europe has witnessed in the course of the present century have completely changed the political supports and relations of States,l • and their independence, for the attainment of which our ancestors sacrificed their property, their blood,i and all that is most dear to men, from the pressure of circumstances could not but undergo certain rt. strictions. At length united with the first nation in the world, called by the greatest Prince in the uni verse to share in the favour which his exalted genius and paternal solicitude liberally bestows on his harp subjects, and of which Holland has all eady obtaineo so many proofs, the Dutch continue to flitter them selves that by their loyalty, their obedience, and their inviolable attachment to their Prince and Father, they shall deserve the protection of a mighty, generous, upright, and benevolent Government." His Imperial M ijesty returned the following answer: " Gentlemen, Deputies of the Legislative Body, of the Land and Sea Forces of Holland, and Gentle men Deputies of my good city of Amsterdam, lot these 30 years you have experienced many vicissitudes. You lost your liberty when one of the great Officers of the Republic, favoured by England, employee Prussian bayonets to interrupt the deliberations of your Councils. It was then that the wise coostitu tion handed down to you by your forefathers was de stroyed for ever. " You formed part of the coalition, in consequence of which French armies conquered your country—an event which was the unavoidable consequence of the alliance with England. After the conquest, a distinct government was formed, yet your republic formed part of the Empite. Your strong fortresses and die principal positions in your country, were occupied by French troops, and your Government was changed according to the opinions which succeeded catch othet in France. " When PROVIDENCE placed me on this first throne of the world, it fell to my lot to decide for ever th. fate of France, and all the nations which comp.'s. this vast empire, to bestow on all the signal advan tages which arise from firmness, consistency, a id or. der, and to destroy the baneful consequences if me gularity and weakness. I put a period to the waver mg destinies of Italy, by placing the iron coo e.n at. my head. I annihilated the Government wit ch :nled Piedmont. By my act of mediation, I justly appre• ciated the constitution of Switzerland, and broogli .the local circumstances of the country in unison with the safety and rights of this Imperial Crown. I gave you a Prince of my blood for your ruler; this was in tended as a bond to unite the concerns of your re public with the rights of the empire. My hopes la - • been deceived, and - thi- Aave . on as occasion I hash shewn more forbearance than my character generally admits and my rights required. I have at length put a period to the painful uncertainty i f your future fate, and warded off the fatal blow which threatened te annihilate all your prosperity, all your resources. I have opened the Continent to your national industry. - -- - ---- --------------- . , - . . . and Chapman, August 28, Sept. 15, and October 6, at eleven, : The • - Second Lieutenant R.

SECOND EDITION: By the MILAN frigate, Government hav e rece i ved dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON, dat e d t h e Bth instant. The following is a brief sk etc h of their contents : t , The head-quarters were still at Celerico, and the army remained in n- arty the same positions. 41 There had been several skirmishes on the fron. tiers, in which the British were unifm sally successful, " The armed peasantry had intercepted a detach. ment of REGNIEWS corps. General Savona had met with some success in the North of Spain, and had captured, taken prisoners, or killed, a detach. ment of infantry, which had advanced to Puerto de Senabria." We have by the MILAN received detailed accounts from our Correspondent with Lord WELLINGTON'S army, which we are happy to say, are cheering in the extreme. Our army has made some movements, but they are not in full retreat to Lisbon ; and Manev4 has not only declined advancing, but there are reports, which gain very general credit with the army, that lie is in full retreat. Various causes are assigned for this—scarcity of forage and provisions, great deser t-ion, dissaffectiun of the foreigners in his army, and sickness. It is well known that the mortality in the French army has for a long time been prodigious. LORD WELLINGTON'S army is in the highest health and spirits ; the anxiety for an engagement with M ASSiN A'S army was general among our brave fel lows. LORD WELLINGTON certainly once offered Mts. SENA battle, and MASSEN A as certainly declined the offer. The account further mentions Narotzoses dissatisfaction with his favourite and most fortunate General, and his intention himself to take the coin. The English army was in a most healthy and efi fective state. Provisions and vegetables were is, :;rent abundance. For the first time, the Comiss4riat was the best department in this army, and verz pp. polar. The headquarters are at Celerico. Under such names as WELLINGTON, HILL, BERESFORD, and STEW• ART, this fine army will attempt any thing. The average number of deserters from the French army is from 90 to 100 a day—the number would be six times t:lis but for the Portuguese, who whenever they see any thing in the shape of a Frenchman without mercy dispatch him. This deters many who would come in : In part of the statement it is mentioned, what gins us real pleasure, that from the great abilities of Mrs shall BER MEMO), and the indefatigable attention of the British Officers with him, the Portuguese army . s k e p t t o th e I:ighest pitch of discipline, and what is of infinitely m.'re cunsequence th..t under E ng y, i j i th.•y fight well—this has of late been proved is sever i little• affairs wi:h the French. General Cux, who defends Almeida, is an Officer gre.it military talents, and his little garrison will stavd by hits. This General has been brought for w.ii t by MArSildi BERESFORD, to whom he acted as 3ide-de-Camp in Egypt. In some late affairs Lord HAecouftes noble regi nent, the 16th Dragoons, behaved admirably—they m ide Prisoners some of BONAPARTE'S favourite regi ment, his Ist Dragoons. By this conveyance we have received Spanish pa. oers to the 7th, and Portuguese to the ISth instant. 11:••yal V , *gran Bartalon—Daniel Vaerr st•tj on in the :Nth Fini. to b e or. p, $ (ono t, ti is. the td R..yal Vect ran t log pitto--( aptait. lt , hn G.

BERESFORD TO HIS EXCELLINCT DON F. FOYAZ. ' 6 Head-quarters, isgiosa, August T. gg It gives me much pleasure to inform your Es. collency of the dipositton of all cla4ses of the people throughout this part of the kingdom, chewing every where the utmost zeal and loyalty in defence of their country, and the most decided detestation of the com mon enemy, who josey deserved it, by his unwarrant• .ble conduct, and by the acts of violence and excesses of . every description *hick he daily commits. In all places, the people rather leave their homes than sub. mit to the necessity of affording the enemy any kind of assistance, and thus evince the most ardent love of their country. The peasants also oppose the enemy whenever it is in their power; and a light party of them, consisting of 100 men, under the command of a person called Jose Hibeiro, attacked, on the Sd instant, in Caetana, a detachment of French troops, 25 of whom they killed, and took several heads of cattle, which they brought to me, but which I gave them leave to sell for their own use and benefit. have formed them into a company, and given the command thereof to the above Hibeiro, on account of his gallant and patriotic conduct, with the rank a Ensign in the Army.
