'4 • house Officers entrance into Meudan, l'isarden, ..: 1 4 nod Paulen. Tu the Custom-house Officers I was „A sir: right in doing so, because the treaty did not autho it',.. sae die presence of Custom-house Officers but upon fibs hanks of the sea and the mouths of rivers. " On the 16th of June I received, through the Charge d'Affaires of Ilis Majesty the Emperor aud King, au assurance that it was not his iuteutiou to occupy Amsterdam ; and that led me to hope that lie would abide strictly by a treaty, the conditions of which were drawn up by His Majesty the Empe ror liiiuself. Unrurtunately my error was not of long dura tion, 113 I received a commuttication that 20,000 Freuch troops had united in the environs of Utrecht. I consented, notwithstanding the ex treme pressure and embarrassment of our tinauces, to furnish them with subsistence and other neces sary things, although the treaty precisely expressed that there should be 6,000 men only maintained at the ~pease of the kingdom : but I feared that this tollecting of troop' was done with other views, un. favourable to our Goverurneat; and late in the tight of the :9th, I received official information that his Majesty the Emperor imitated upon the oc cupation of Amsterdam, and the establishnieut •f the French headzquarteriin that capital. " Under . these cirminstinces, Gentlemen, you • aintiot • doubt that 1 was willing to suffer • fur my people fresh humiliations, if I could have preserved the hope •of being able to sup port such a state, and. above all, to prevent new evils: but I could not deceive myself any longer: 1 have signed a treaty d:cutted by France, under the conviction that measures the most du. agreeable for the nation, and for myself, would not be followed up ; and that, satisfied with my volun tary abdication, which is the consequence of the said • treaty, every thing would go on smoothly between France and Holland. The treaty pre sents, indeed, a great number of pretence% and of new grievances and accusations : but can pre tences be ever wanting ? I ought then to have confided in the explanations and corniniiiiica. tions which have been made to me, besides this treaty, and in the formal and circumstantial declara tions, which I have not foiled to make ;such as. that the cosh ru-hoti.e officers should only interfere its the measures -halm ; to the blockade ; that the French troop. sh.iuld only remain on the coast ; that the do- Mains of the state and those of the crown should be poootArel ; th it theilebbi of the countries which had him *riled, should be charged to France : in a word, that front the manlier of troops which were to be lurnished, there should be deducted those which at this moment are at the disposal of France in Spain ; and even that fur the maritime strength the necessary time should be allowed. I have al ways flattered myself, that this treaty would be admitted : I have be. n mistaken : but if the en tire devotion I have manifested fir my duty on the Ist of kat April, has only tended to drag nu and pro long the existence of the country far three months, I have the cruelly-grievous itatisfaetim (yet the only one which now I can have) that 1. Lave fulfilled my obligations to the end; that I have (if 1 um so peruntted to speak) sacrificed to the existence and to the welfarit of the country mote than is allow ed. But after the *ulna anon sad the rebignation the Ist of Aprii 1816. I , hould be much to blame if I conseeted retain the title of King, being no longer but an instrument—uu longer cusnmanditig, not only in the country, but even in my own c.ipi tal ; and perhaps moo, not even in my palace 1 should be ,evertheles• a witness of thlog that might be going on, without bring able t- do any thing fur ray people: responsible fur all occur rences, without the power to prevent Mein, Os their influence, I should have exposed myself to the complaiiits of bosh sides ; and, perhaps, have occasioned great misfortune. ; by doing which, I should hare betrayed my conscience, say people, land any duty !—I have for a long time foreseen the extremity to which I am now reduced ; but I could wet have prevented it, without sacrificing my most 'sacred duties, without ceasing to have at heart the interest of my people, and without ceasing to con. nect my fate with that of the country. 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 sty children. Any other course would have only augmented the misfortunes of my reign. I should have affection. ately • painful duty ; rshould have, perhaps, semi the peaceable inhabitants, victims to contentions of governments, destroyed at once.—How then could so idea of resistance ever enter my usual ? si My children. born Frenchmen like myself, would have seen in a just cause, hut which they would not have believed to he solely mine, the blood of their countrymen flow. I had Otto but one course to take. ." My brother, so violently irritated against me, is not so against my children, and doubt Irv, he will not destroy whet he has done, and deprive them o► their inheritance, since he has slot, nor can have ant• complaint ■4ainst one, who will not, for a long time to come, reign himself. His mother, to whom the regency appertains by the Constitution, will do every thing that shall bs agreeable to the Emperor, toy brother, and will succeed better thaw myself, who have had the misfortune never to he successful in my endeavours of that kind. And at the conclusion of a mantiroe pence (prrbsps before) my brother, kelvin the state of things its this country, the esteem its iuhabitants merit, how much their wel. fare accords with the interests (well understood) of his empire, will do for this country all it has a right to expect, as the reward of its numerous sacri lick to France, of its fidelity, and of the iuterest with which it cannot fail to inspire those who judge of it without prejudice. Perhaps I am the only obstacle to the reconciliation of this country with France; and should that he so. I might find some kind of consolation in dragging out the reinaiuder of a wanderiug and languishiug life at a distance from the first objects of my whole affection—this good people, and my son. These are my principal motives; there are others crpoilly powerful, with respect to which I must be silent; but they will easily be divined. " The Emperor, my brother, though strongly prejudiced against me, must feel that I could not act otherwise. He is great, and he ought to be just. As to you. Gentlemen, I should be much more unhappy even than I am, if possible, could I ima gine that you would not do justice to my intentions. May the end of my career prove to the nation, and to you, that I have never deceived you ; that I have hail but one aim—the true interest of the country ; that the faults I may have committed, are solely to be ascribed to the zeal which caused me to employ, not always the best, but the most practicablem eons of overcoming the difficulty of circumstances. " I had never proposed to myself to govern a na tion so interesting, yet so difficult, as yours. Ile, Gentlemen, my advocates with the nation, inspire it with an attachment for the Prince Royal, who deserves it, if I may judge from his happy natant! disposi•ion. " The Queen has the same interest as myself. I raiment, Gentlemen, conclude, without recom mending to you, in the most earnest manner, and in the name of the interest and of the existence of I so many families, whose lives and property would be infallibly compromised, to receive the French with the attention, with kindness, and the cordia lity which is due to the brave people of the tio.st nation in the Universe, to your friends. to your allies, who consider obedience as the first of duties, but which they cannot fail to esteem the more iu pro portion as they become acquainted with a nation, brave, industrious, and worthy of esteem under every consideration. " In whatever place I may happen to terminate my days, the mune of Holland, and the moat lively prayers for its happiness, will be my last words— will be my last thoughts. Louis N--. . .

We noticed. yesterday, • few of the rumour., or rather speculations, which prevailed, in thesis. sauce of intelligence from our army in Portugal.— Tothes• we have to add one, which was previsleist la-t night; but which, we Intel, will prove 'finally false—it is, that Lord ‘V6I.I.IIIIGTOPI has switainerl a defeat in • general action, in which lie was dan gerously wounded. Some private letters air stated as the authority for this report. We present this day to our rrs.h.rs a very in teresting and important document. It is the Ad dress or King Louis to the Dutch Legi.lative Body, sesigoing his retinue for the Abdication of his Throne. We were already apprized that he had given. as one of these rrasotis, the misfortune of baying incurred the displeasure of hi. Brother. The prtoost speech aliens in what %c 17 he cause into this situation—that it was not by Its vices, but by his virtues--not by incapacity, by weakness, or by tyranny, but by the display of every good quality and enters into the cotnposition of a pitriot and virtuous Kiug. Had he been a sanguicury Ruffian, like Joacuist Mettat, the King of Naples; or an unprincipled Libertiw., like his brother Jaitoste. King of Westphalia; he would have preserved the friendship of Narotton, and been permitted to reign had lie been a scourge ins cad of a friend to the Dutch, he might have been left a five agent, and suffeted to pianish and oppress those w hoin it Was his duty to cherish and support. But, unfertu nately,Loc IS wits of a contrary character: he died ap ed to be a ii ill 41 Ktng;,and his generous mind I-- yoked against the idea'-of being made a mere!in sitrurnent iu the hands of a f , rocinus Tyrant, forthe purpose of inflictiog misery upon those whom he felt it his duty to render happy. No act of BONA PARTE'S life is more odious, or TOM calculated to shake his power and defeat his ambition. titan this cruel treatment of it deserving Brother. The history of his reign is only a series of breaches of faith, of violations of treaties, of crimes against independent Princes ; but those Princes were foreigners, some of them were only friend ly, moil many neutral, or had been once hos tile. Here it is a Government of his own creating that is overthrown—here it is a Constitution of his own snaking that is destroyed—here it is a Brother that is injured and insulted-1 Brother who would have been happy in private life, hut whom in his caprice he exalted to a throne, that he 'night have an opportunity of throwing him dowu, to render him contemptible in the eyes of the world, and miserable for the rest of his life! ! Letters were received in town yesterday morning from North Yarmouth, of Thursday's date ; they mention the ami.rl of the Lynx sloop of war, from the Categst, who hrings intelligence that a convoy of merchantmen, under the protect ion of the Forivird gun-brig, were attacked, off the Naze of NorwitY, by a division of the enemy's gun-boats, and that 42 sad of them were captured.
