Cons. for acc. 6911 Last night are received Dutch papers to the 4th instant, from which it appears, thlt the late King of HOLLAND had arrived at Dresden, on the 11th, and after a short stay, proceeded to Toplitz, intending to use the waters either there or at Carshad. • But-the article which will excite mo:,t interest is the following ADDRESS OF KING LOUIS TO THE I 4 EGISLATIVE BODY, ON HIS ABDICATION: " Gentlemen—l charge the Ministers to come to the Council to present to your assembly the resolu tion which I find myself compelled to take in conse quence of the military occupation of my capital.— The brave French soldiers have no other enemies than such as are enemies to the eornupon cause of Holland and myself. They are and ought to be received with all the regards and civility possible, but it is not less true that in the actual relation of Holland, when an entire army, a crowd of custom-house officers, and when even the national army is taken from under the power of Government ; when every place, with the exception of the capital, was under the orders of a foreign officer, I thought' it right to declare to Mar shal the Duke of Reggio and the Chargé d'Affaires from the Emperor, that if they occupied the capital and its vicinity, I should consider that operation As a manifest violation of the rights of the people, and the most sacred tights among men. " It was this which made me refuse the custom house officers entrance into Mettdon, Naardeu, and Damau.• I was right in doing so ; because the treaty did not authorise the presence of custom-house officers but upon the bank of the sea, and the mouths of rivers. " On the 16th of June I received, through the Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the Emperor and King, an assurance that it was not his intention to occupy Amsterdam, and that led me to hope that he would abide strictly by a treaty, the conditions of which were drawn up by his Majesty the Emperor• himself. Unfortunately my error was not of long duration, as I received a communication that twenty thousand French troops had united in the environs of Utrecht. I consented, notwithstanding the extreme penury and embarrassment of our finances, to furnish them with .subsistence and other necessary things, although the treaty precisely expressed that there should be 6000 men only maintained at the expence at the kingdom. But I feared that this collecting of troops was done with miler views unfavourable to our government; and late in the night of the 29th, I re ceived official information that his Majesty the Em peror insisted upon the occupation of Amsterdam, and the establishment of the French head-quarters in that capital. " Under these circumstarces, Gentlemen, you cannot doubt that I was willing to suffer for my people fresh humiliations, if I could have preserved the hope of being able to support such a state, and 'above all, to prevent new evils ; but I could not de ceive myself any longer—l have signed a treaty, dictated by France, under the conviction that mea sures, the most disagreeable for the nation and fur myself, would not be followed up ; and that, sa. tisfied with my voluntary abdiciaion, which is the consequence of the said treaty, every thing would go on smoothly between France and llolland. " The treaty presents, indeed, a great number of pretences and of now grievances and accusa tions ; but can pretences be ever wanting ? I ought then to have confided in the explanations and communications which have been made to me besides this treaty, and in the formal and circum stantial declaration which I have not failed to do ; such as that the custom-house officers would only interfere in the measures relating to the blockade ; that the French troops should only remain on the coast; that the domains-of the state and those of the crown should be respected ; that the debts of the countries which had been ceded would be charged to France; in a word, that from the number of troops which were to be furnished, there should be deducted those, which at this moment are at the disposal of France in Spain, and even that for the maritime strength the necessary t . zne should be allowed. I have always flattered myself that the treaty would be admitted I have been mistaken ; and the entire devotion I have manifested for my duty on the Ist of last April has only tended to drag on and prolong the existence of the country for three Months. _ _ ---- " I have the cruelly grievous satisfaction, yet the only one which now I can have, that I hare fulfilled my obligations to the end ; that I have (if I am so permitted to speak) sacrificed to the existence and to the weiJare of the country more than could be expect ed ; but, alter the submission and ..,he resignation of the Ist of April, 1810, I should be much to blame if I consepted to retain the title of King. being no longer but an instrument, no 104treommandingnot only in the country, but eveo4toYoWn capital, and perhaps soon not even in my iialace:.' • 0 4 . I should be neverdie ess a witness of every thin that Might bb gals on, without- being able to do any thing for my people, responsible for all oecur fences without the - power to prevent them or their influence; I should have exposed myself to the ann. plaints of both sides, and perhaps have occasioned great misfortunes ; by doing which I should have be trayed my conscience, my people, and duty. I have, for a long time foreseen the extremity to which I am now reduced, but I could not have prevented it with out sacrificing my most sacred duties, without ceasing to have at heart the interest of my people, and with out ceasing to connect my fate with that of-the coun try. Now that Holland is reduced to that condition, I have, as King of Holland, but one course to take, and that is to abdicate the throne in favour of my children ; any other cause would have only augment ed the misfortunes of my reign. I should have affec tionately a painful duty. I should have perhaps seen often the peaceable inhabitants victims to contentions of Governments, destroyed at once—How then could an idea of resistance ever enter my mind ? 4 , My children, born Frenchmen like myself, would have seen in a just cause, but which they would not have believed to be solely mine, the blood of their, countrymen flow. I had then but one course to take. My brother, so violently irritated against me, is not so against .my children ; and, doubtless, he will not destroy what he has done, and deprive them of their inheritance, since he has not, nor can have, any subject of complaint, who will not for a long time to come to reign himself.— His mother, to whom the Regency appertains by the Constitu-, tion, will do every thing that shall be agreeable to the Emperor, my brother, and will succeed bet ter than myself, who have never succeeded in any endeavours of that kind ; and at the conclusion of a maritime peace, perhaps before, my brother knowing the state of things in this country, the esteem its in habitants merit, how much their welfare accords with the interests well understood of his empire, will do for this country all it has a right to expect, as the re ward of its numerous sacrifices to France, of its fide lity, and of the interest with which it cannot fail to inspire those who judge of it without prejudice. Per haps I am the only obstacle to the reconciliation of this country with France, and should that be so, I might find some kind of consolation in dragging out the remainder of a wandering and languishing life at a distance from the first objects of my whole affection, this good people, and my son. These are my prin cipal motives, there are others equally powerful, with respect to which I must no silent, but they will easily be divined. The Emperor, my brother, though strongly pre; judiced against me, must feel that 1 could not act otherwise. He is great, and he ought to be just. 44 As to you, Gentlemen, I should be much more unhappy even than I am, if possible, could I imagine that you would not do justice to my intention. Maya the end of my career prove to the nation and to you, that I have never deceived you ; that I have had but! one aim—the true interest of the country ; that the faults I may have committed are solely to be ascri bed to my zeal, which caused me to employ not al ways the best, but the most practicable means of overcoming the difficulty of circumstances. 44 I had never proposed to myself to govern a na tion so interesting, yet so difficult as yours. 13e, Gen tlemen, Try advocate with the nation ; inspire it with an attachment for the Prince Royal, who deserves it, if I may judge from his happy natural disposition. The queen has Me same interests as myself. I cannot, Gentlemen, conclude without recommending to you in the most earnest mariner, and in the name of the interest and of the existence of so many families, whose lives and property would be infallibly com prqmised, to receive the Frmch with the attention, with kindness, and the cordiality which is clue to the brave people of the first nation in the Universe ; to your friends, to your allies, uho consider obedience as the first of duties, but which they cannot fail to esteem the more in proportism as they become ac quainted with a nation, brave, iadustrious, and wor thy of esteem under every consideration. 64 In whatever place I may happen to terminate my days, the name of Holland, and the most liv'ely prayers for its happines, will be my last words, will be my last thoughts. July I, 1810. LOUIS N--.. EXTRACT OFA LETTER FROM ROTTERDAM. JULY 23. a , All the young men in Holland are going for soldiers. The department for Foreign Affairs will be done away, and the naval department receive that name. All the new Officers of State are to be French." The following information is contained in a Letter received this mowing from Heligoland, dated tie 21st instant : G. I learn from some Gentlemen just arrived from the Conti nent, that the Westphalian troops rsfuse to march to Spain, and are deserting As - fast as they can get to the Coast, in order to get on hoard the English brigs, stationed in the rivers they likewise bring news of the Quatn-of HOLLAND /saving did an: dm% at the Baths of Plombieres." A Decree has been issued by BoNAPARTE, Vim mantling that no person whatever, coming from Great Britain, as a passenger on board any licensed vessel, shall be permitted to land on the French coast, ex: cept those who corntisute the crew of the said vessel. VIZ 'SALVO. , We are roach ioneeened to . itate that letters of teSterday's date,..receis 4 ed` Atli mining ThilliWorth Yarmouth, mention the arrival there of the LYNX sleep of war, from the Categate, with intelligence that a large convoy of merchantmen from the Baltic, under the protection of the FoßwAnn gun-brig, were attacked off the Naze of Norway by a division of the enemy's gun-boats, which succeeded in capturing 42 sail of the convoy. " YARMOUTH, JULY 26. ss Arrived the SOLEDAT frigate, from the Baltic, with three vessels under convoy ; those for the North. i ern ports have been convoyed thither by the WRANG. LER; the rest are gone into the Thames. The HERO cutter has also arrived, and brings the following 'in telligence from Captain MARIIALL, of the LYNX " Captain liftwcorr, of the HERE, informed Cap tain MARSHALL, on the 20th instant, that a convoy.of homeward-bound, in charge of the FORWARD gun. I brig, consisting of 42 sail, had been captured off the Naze of Norway, on the 19th, by five Danish brigs and two schooners, and driven into different port's in Norway. The outward-bound convoy, under the ' STARLING and AGGRESSOR, now off here, have been .. • strengthened by the SOLL3AY and 13sissis. " The Hutto left the homeward Baltic convoy, con. 'sisting of about 200 sail, off Robs Snout, on the 21se instant, with a fine breeze at N. E. under protection of his Majesty's ships LYNX, CLIO, SNAKE, ROSARLI, GLeCKSTADT, and CENTINEL ; and his Majesty's ships TAJITAR, Ross, and PRIMROSE, following them up, some distance astern." Thttjntercourse between this country and France, on the subject of an exchange of Prisoners, still con tinue. A Messenger WAS dispatched from the Ad miralty yesterday for Morlaix. Though no real account* have for some time been been 'received from Portugal, vasious rumours eon tinue in circulation. One report states, that an en gagement could not be avoided : another, that it had been avoided, by the retreat of our army from the pre. sence of a much more numerous force ; a third re, port says, that a sanguinary battle has been fought, and terminated favourably to the British : but dun we had lost 5000 men, and that Lord WELLINGTOx. had been wounded. None of these reports rest on good authority. Our Readers must often have remarked that the title of the French official documents respecting mili tary. operations used to be Bulktint ; that name has been changed in the details respecting the proceedings of Napoleon's troops in Spain. They are now termed Abstract, of the Correspondence of the different Ge nerals. The lut of these that has appeared presents such a picture of a whole people up in arms, as we believe has been seldom exhibited to the world before. It is, even by the French account, not in this quar ter or that only, that Spain is in an insurrectionary state, but every where. Let any man take the cur. respondence of the French Generals in one kind, and the map of Spain in the other, and he will find how the operations detailed in the former will gradually conduct him over the whole sulfate of the latter.--- First, the efforts of Sebastiani arc directed to the re. duction of the insurgents of G..renacht and Murcia, in. the south-esisternmost point of. Spain, against whom, by the way, he appep.rs to have had no great success; as it is stated, that oft the moment of his retreat, 41 some bands that had come from Valentia succeeded in forming fresh corps in those provinces." In the opposite corner of the Peninsula, it is said that Bon net had defeated the insurgents of Acturia, and that he had strength sufficient to penetrate into Gallicia, but that 46 he had received orders to remain in his actual position. in expectation of ulterior events." The state of Cadiz, and the Isle of Leon, we all know—and in die opposite quarter of Catalonia, it is asserted that the army of insurgents is in the utmost state of dejection, from which we learn that there is still an army of insurgents on foot. Estremadura is i ' still unsubdued—Bidajos it is acknowledged, will re quire a regular siLge, in the west— and so in the east will Tortnsa and TarrAgona, which towns the Va kncians are prepared to assist with a regular force of 16,000 men. The Ronda is still all hostile to the French in the South, and their ci , nimunications with their own coun try are intercepted iii Navarre by men who are termed straggling bands of brigands ;" whilst in the inte rior, there is acknowledged to have been an unde feated army at Crimea, under General Villa-campo ; and insurgents front thence all around to Talavera ; so that, as we said before, the whole hind is insuiree.; tionin y, and in arms against its oppressors. What the result of this tremendous conflict maybe it is impossible to tell. The protractLd resistance of the Spaniards and the change that has taken place in their mode of warfare, by avoiding gene engage ments as much as possible, tend to strengthen the hope that their efforts may ultimately prove success : But, on the other hand, it is to be feared that such powerful reinforcements as NA POI, LOS may force into the peninsula by his oppressive conscription, join ed to the machinations of his numerous emissaries, and the treasons of those miscreants who have been bribed or seduced from their allegiar:ze to their country, may at length weary out an exhausted people, and make them prefer any yoke to the prospect of an endless war. Whatever may be the result of the struggle, Spain we think must ultimately be benefited. Should NA POLEON succeed in forcing a new dynasty on that country, the new sovereignty must have interests so different from those of France, that it will tease in a few years 'to act cordially —at the latest this period cannot exceed the period of NAPOLF.ON'S natund life. Should the Spaniards triumph, 'they will have been great gainers by the conflict, for it is morally impos sible that a worn-out system, when once it is over turned, can ever be again restored ! The sa me fa mily may reign, nam es of office spay continue, but in all the essentials of Government the political fabric must be renovated, and • the people beugated in pro. portion. cvaubcp►cu Lti I t 10001 Ilthffif RING. ?Intel& • AT BATH.
