The anxiety of the People of Holland to see the young Prince of ORANGE is not to be described They were prepared, in spite of all the rigorous police which took. place during the French usurpa- • tion of their country, to expect in this young Prince a pupil of the immortal WELLINGTON ; and when they heard of his arrival at Helvoet, the inhabitants of the Hague crowded before the palace of Voorhoot, and remained there all day, in hope and expectation. At Helvoet, the Brill, and at Delft be was received by the .Maikiitrats and the People with the most joyous acclaMations , Meet ing with some Spaniards, amounting to nearly 11300, who bad beenieleased by the Prussians, he addressed them in their own language. They . joined the people in general with shouts of enthusiastic welcome. The Prince visited the public works, and by the modesty of his demeanor impressed all hearts with esteem, and . affection. 'But the meeting between the So , vercign Prince arahis Son was one of the most affecting scenes that can be imagined. It took place at the Hague, in presence of the Magis 't aces and the people arlarge.. They rushed into tie anus of each other in speechless rapture. At ,4itgth the father was able to subdue his emotions so much as just to utter " welcome m y Son;' All that the • Son could say in answer amidst intense agitation, was ".my Father and Sovereign. Thil scene operated with hardly . leis effect upon the surrounding multitude, many I of whom shed tears of sympathetic pleasure. But all tenderness soon gave way to the most triumphant shouts of universal gratulation. During the.whole progress of the Prince Sovereign and . his son, • ' through the• several places which. they yisited,' there was the 'same . ardent. manifestation Of po;• ' 1 pular delight. The Hereditary Prince has been appointed a General of Infantry and Inspector-General of Troops and Arms, as well as Inspector-General of the Netherland Militia. He left the Hague for 'Rotterdam, to commence his military duties in that city. lite British troops, consisting of detachments Of the' 37th';and 56th regiments, which arrived at, the Hague on Friday night, having been landed at Schevening front the Brune frigate, rested there On Saturday, and were on' Sunday marched to Delft, antra froth thence to Maeslnndsluys, to join the'rest of the British forces in Zealand. The last accounts from that part of the country which is occupied by the British forces, limn 'Wit liamstadt to the vicinity of Bergen-Op-Zoom, state that it nos. GRAHAM was still at Tholen,on the 21st instant, with about 7000 men. That place is 1 ... now ilii . .. British head-quarters, lint! is not three leal;ues . froui Bergen-op-Zoom, against which our troops were about to proceed. Betz was also about to be attacked, as well as Gorctn. Bois-le-Dim bad been already bom barded. The natives of Brabant, flying from the . Frerich conscription, hastened to join the Dutch standard. 1 , . ____ . At the date of the most tecent letter s•from Wal eheren there were seventeen sail of the line in the Roompot, three of which were .three-deckers, under the command of Admirals GIB as,, Yotnto,• 011(1 FERRIER. The 1200 Cossacks that had penetrated beyond Antwerp to within two or three leagues Of liras- sets, fell in with a body of 500 French, on their way to trtinforce Antwerp. The enemy was en gaged and defeated at all points, the CossackS kill ing many, and taking about '2OO prisoners. The precise 'details have not yet arrived. The whole stream of the Rhine from Wesel had been abandoned, and Wesel . itself was beginning to sutler from want nt provisions. A few letters which have found their, way. out of Tlaniburgli represent that city as tranquil, but anxiously waiting for the moment of revenge, Mo. racy was scarcely to he seen ; the stock, of provi to'ns was diminishing .fast, anti a number of use mopths had been sent away. DAVOUST . S thin; added, t( the consumption of Ham- Must soon be subdued by famine. .tn„and torenstein were taken • on the thus all hope of .communication Or ti Uorcuua doge away. A flog of truce had beets previon4ly sent by the General In earn maird.of the besiegers, Which wils refused adtnit tance. •A second had been, tried, which was ad mitted, and which, at the-date of the dispatch of the I7th, was still . within the walls, after a long conference. If this failed, it was intended to open all the batteries without loss of time. On the 17th,, no' shot had been tired on either side during .thritire day. There has been a report at the Hague, ,that Mutivi- had countermanded the Neapolitan rein-; forcetrients for - 11EAUUMMIS, declared himself neutral, anti opened his ports to the Allies. The first part only is believed. The principality Of Hildesheim has been lately added to the King's German States, *and as such, taken possession of by COIMOVALNIODEN. It is generally conceived that the French periple want nothing hut a knowledge of facts to do what becomes them. The security of the entire system scents to be rested on the art of keeping the tui tion in ignorance. Persons who have lately:es caped from Paris speak as if thine') found themselves in a new world the moment they passed the French frontier. In Paris they heard Jitt le of Prussians or Russians ; plays, concerts, and the Emperor hunt ing, or the presentation of standards, were the only subjects of conversation. So late as the first week in December ) c all that - was 'said of Holland "was; tliat - the trifling disturbance which had oc curred there was quelled, and that General Molitor was in quiet possession of Amsterdam. Still, by a keen . observer, even in Paris, it might been discovered that all was not well. It was remarked, that Buonaparte appeared of late unusually gay; and this at a time when he was known to have suffered reverses, and from a man singularly grave, WaS accounted an ill Omen. For merly accustomed to .ride rapidly through the ~t rests with a crowd of attendants, stunning the people, and apparently, scorning popularity, he was now often seenattentled oily by General Caf farelli and a few aides-de-camp, stopping fre quently to speak even to the beggars, inqniring their wants . , and . ordering money . to be given to them. This counilaisance was, however, confined entirely to the lowei orders. 'There had been, , • immediately ni after s return, a rumour of a con spiracy, in which some people of distinction were involved, and, a cry of " down with the Tyrant !" but it had. been hushed •Asp. Among a people of trifles, even trifles: have their weight ; amf it was tr common opinion, from the peculiarly stiff and projecting appearance of BUONAPARTE'S dresi, that he wore. ti Corslet of some species of mail.— There was said to he discontent its the Palace ; 'and the Empress, who had come to France a striking and full-fortned 'figure., was observed to have become peculiarly emaciated and palo, BUONArARTE . had been fully reconciled to JosE- PlaNg, :vase resided at Malmaison ; nod his visit of reeonelliation wits of so public anti prepared an Order, that it was construed into an-intentional in • suit to the Empress. The Theatre is the place in' which a Frenchman still feels a kind of pivilege to be sincere, and BtIpIiAPARTE',s reception at the " Cosnedit," 'was almost universally marked by " tine moine,silence." Thosa.syroptOnis, taiiiasThey would bein a country where men COillsl speak their full opinions, are perhaps seriousin one where they can be the only language ; tt:?ri it is more than probable, that France only wants better knowledge to rise as.one nian, and overturn the Napoleon dynasty. That knowledge can scarcely he far off. The Prussians are now on'the edge of Flanders ; and that country, though once al most the impregnable barrier of Prance, is now, front all accounts, totally naked ;, the fortresses on the direct road to Paris, Valenciennes, Mons, Cambray, without garrisons, • ammunition, or pro- Visions ; the people decidedly hostile in Brabant,, .and only W3itilig for the approach of a regular ,force ; and the few soldiery scattered to preserve communications, without pay or officers. The Prussians conceive that•lluotiAPAnTE Will try an other campaign, },ist that it must be his last. Letters from Fraw.e, received by the last con veyance state, that " sugar, colfee, and all' colo nial produce, sell for no more than the duty, and that 111.toNAPAwrit was compelled to grant the hol ders of these articles permission to bond them for six months; as, if sold by auction, they would not fetch the duties ; in which case his revenues would he utfproluctive, and the holders ut the same time be ruined. The Martial gun-brig, which arrived on Toes day at Plymouth, bad transports under convoy, with the regiments of Nassau and Frankfort, which left SOUGT and came over to Lord Wel,- LINGTON on the 10th inst. These regiments, it is said, are to be bullied in Holland, that country presenting the shortest •course for them to,pro cued to join the standards of their countrymen on the -Rhiac. - Their numbers ate estimated at 3000.

From that hour the Allies Lave rentained the triumphant, unmolested masters of the Niece. In the afternoon of the 13th, General Nat!, from St. Jean Pied &Port, attacked the Spanish Right in front of Haspar, but having understood SottLT'S defeat, it vas confined to an aair of Light Troops. .The French were obliged to re tire. Some detachments of cavalry and infantry, commanded by Sir Jour; DowNIE. and Colonel VIVIAN, entered and drove the enemy from Has par. In this enterprize we regret to hear that the gallant Major I.IttoTHERTON, of the 14th Light Dragoons, was wo u nded and taken prisoner.
