LONDON, Sd R CE 11111 E R - 4, 1813. A Naval Officer arrived this morning early at the Admiralty, with an official notification of the nrriral or the Prince of ORANGE in Holland, where he was received with a universal spirit of enthu siastic welcome.' Every thing went on with the mosi promis,ittg riaccess. • The following OPPICIAL BULLETIN WAS promp ly issued flout the Admiralty : " ADMIRALTY-ON:ICE, mix. 4. " His Serene Highness the Prince of ORANGE, • and his Excellency tit!~ Earl of CLANCMITY, and their respective suites, landed from his Majesty's ship the Warrior, at Schevliug, about four o'clock n in the afternoon of Wednesday, the Ist instant. Pis Serene Highness immediately proceeded to the Hogue. ~„" 'When his Majesty's ship, beating the Orange • i nag, , .approached the coast, s he w as surroun d e d by a number of Dutch .vessels, all decorated with Orange colours, and filled with persons anxious to testify their joy at the arrival of his Serene • Highness ; and his Serene Highness was received on his lauding by an immense concourse of people with acclamations of the greatest joy, and every possible !nark of affection and respect." There were several arrivals from Holland yes terday, but they neither furnish any later • iutelli gence than we yesterday possessed, nor any mat ter of math importance previously unnoticed._ Devt.nter, we understand, has been summoned to .• surrender, and if this is rejected, preparations are made to carry it by assault, The whole course of the Ysscl will then be free. It was 11LuettEtt, the son of the illustrious Commander, who arrived at. Utrecht, at the head of 1,500 men, and not the Veteran himself, as we were yesterday informed. It will not he thought surprising by our rpaders, that Venn yet. still held out for the Texel fleet. A Morning Paper states, that his last answer was, " I will not desert so.good a cause ;" and that he hits tnanued the batteries at the fielder, in order to resist to the last extremity. His obstinacy is attributed to his ignorance of the real state of • French affairs. A few days ago he landed a' party of Marines, and marched at the head of them to r, and demanded all the rash from the Ge nera! Receiver at that place, which was given up to him. • lirom the character-of this person, apparent in the anecdotes it , e have recorded of his conduct, l we have no doubt hut that his resistance aims at making terms for . himself, but we confidently trust, that as ha cannot kohl e u long, no grace will be acceded to him, but he will be made an tsample of for the be nttfit of his country and mankind, When the Orange Is hoisted at the main-top in his Ship, the Admiral will Make a glorious accompaniment, by being hoisted at the yard-arm to the note of Orange. Damn ! and every true Dutchman will cheerfully lend a hand to,accompliSh this his last elevation., 'We are geld to see it stated in our Port Letters, that the pistil 'Heivoetsluys are open-•--thus the e4ibeipation of-the whole coast from the Elbe to the Aleuse ie complete. We are informed that 500 marines landed with the Prince of ORANGt: from the Iforrinr. French Papers to the Ist were received in town last night. They . deserve the most earne4t at tention, for they speak in language not to be mis understood the declension of , the-Tyrant's autho rity, and we trust the immediate dissolution of his power. 'tic CROWN PRINCE exclaimed, " and is thi4 the great Captain who hag achieved so many victories ?" we may add, "and is this the great Statesman who has accomplished so many politi cal wonders ?"---flow little has this all-fordsceing genius foreseen ! • ; Glue of the most prominent points-developed by this arrival is the new," plan of Finance," as the Morning atronieli would call it, but, in truth, the new and unheard of s ptern lawleis plu n d er and rapine, as the People of France, if they do not rehel against the oppression, will feel it.— The tnost unprincipled period of revolutionary horror has no parallel to Decree of the 27th. . • It destroys every p r ivate right ) ; annihilates every I idea of property; and subjects the French ria tibtt to the unbridled will of absolute despotism. It has been said, that BUONAPARTE is a coward — but. it must he acknowledged that he has courage enough to insult and outrage and brave the fury of a whole people. The object of this decree is to render instantly available the• 'funds voted by its precursor of the 11 th, which doubled and anticipated the, bUrthens for the year 1814.• For . • this pur pose the measure of Regaisitions presented itself; Requisitions which compel the persons possessing the things wanted •t furnish them for the public So.far; in cases of emergency, all Go vernments have a right to go; because iv:Witte ad vantage must yield to public benefit—theinterests of a put to the interests of the whole. But in all States governed upon sound principles—in all associations Where the difference of mum - and tuuin is understood and acted upon—in all go vernments in which the ingredient of freedom is ever so slightly infused—it necessarilyfollowi that 'what is taken from th e s obi eet for the use of the com munity is paid for by the community at a fair and adequate rate. In Turkey itself, there is always some apology for the confiscations of its me atrocious Paellas or Bashaws. In France, it•seems there is none: The requisitions are to be paid by 'Vandals, i. c. cheques upon , the Collectors of Taxes, for taxes yet to be collected---drders . on Bankers in whose bands the funds are yet to be placed to answer them—in short .a lien on a capital yet to he created. Precious security to those who are forced to surrendet their provisions and manfactures to BuoNAPARTE ! to embark their property on the solvency of his downcast and bankrupt Dynasty ! To this we him only to add, in order to spew how justly the Ty rant is dealing with his slaves, that even, on this security the price, (''real value,") of the articles are to be determined by himself. One observation may close this subject—the measure is an essence of all the bad faith and oppression of the worst times of the Revolution compressed into one monstrous compound. service.' With regard to the neutrality of Switzerland, now formally proclaimed, we can only repeat our former sentiments. It is a measure of the Corsi cln's.to serve his need, and contrary to his avowed doctrine of Is. no neutrality." We rejoice,' how ever, to sec some names among those returned to the Diet, which shew that this body is not alto. gether French. Among others, the valiant and patriotic REntNG is prominent. We trust their deliberations will soon turn the, tide of affairs in this quarter, and that, instead of employing troops as now, to draw a cordon, in defence of BuoNA PARTE, along the important frontier of Baden, we will see them united to the - glorious Coalition of Europe, against the pretender to universal empire. A Wesel article says, that Munster was occu pied by some of the Enemy's irregular troops— this was three days befo►e ByLow broke up from that city with en Army of 30,00 men Kehl is also stated to be iii good conidition—►re hope it is, and, as alleged by the Dutch Papers, in the hands of the Allies. But there are other, and still more important, matters brought before us by these papers, to which we desire to call the attention of the coun try. The. Prorogation of the Meeting of the Le gis!utis•e Body is a ,singularly suspicious event. It induces'a belief that the Despot is now afraid to 'meet even his own quondam tools, till be has re-modelled them, purged them ,from bold or ob noxious Members, and sent ()At at*, the' way .0C mischief persons suspected of -retaining a,single spark of independence, or one, atom of lore for their sUffering country. • There is, among other things, a masterly pir. ure of clip. horrors of invasion, conjured up to. incite the French people to repel the concede rates.—" 'When the theatre of war (say this But; fian) was still far froinqnr country, wine the epa nmiilpinclercd, qnl, on a fol:eiza i d..tye .00.140 au tET LY CO ntemplate these terrible sports of Mgrs; we might lull ourselves in a pleasing h ecnyity." Aye ! infernal Scourge, when you were only inflicting misery unbounded, indescribable, mon• struus, au Germans, Austrians, Prussians, Spa. nitirds,llollanders, linssians—when yoyr detested arms, and sanguinary bands , spread ruin and desolation only on other lanai, then, indeed,, the groans of wretchedness, the expiring cries of the murdered, the shrieks of despair, the agonies of nature, the thundering► :of your hellish artillery were " the sports—the sports of Alias. - But the evil is returned upon, your ac cursed head—Retribution rolls on, and ample ;ren . geance demands to he satisfied on tlappe.wlAo have aid ed'und supported you !. " What plitildtk(pg (you 'sny), what slaughter, what conflagration ! Let 'us imagine for a ment the enemy at our gatei ; see the wotkien treurttlin . g, distracted, eying; the old men, you ng virgins, and children, obliged 'to quit their'pate r rn a l roof, currying with them some utolanchp remains of their fortune, seeking in the depths of the woods, in the tiltlit impenetrable retreats, all asylum from the furies of the soldiery. See every where tumult and agitation." Well may you paint what you have so often per formed ; but the Demon, sync) has hitherto guided has now deserted you, and we call on every one of the Allied Co►umanders to read this at the head of their force,s,and tell them—"all these and greater horrors has that As.assin jiVONAPARTE and his Myrmi dons inflicted upon you, yourcountries, your towns and cities, your fathers, mothers, wives, and child ren—the laud of. the Enemy is before you, anti the ScoUrge still exists ! !!" According to our promise we this day lay be fore our Readers a genuine and interesting letter from a Lady of Rank attached to the Prussian Court. Such communications seldom find their way originally into the columns of a Newspaper, where Politics in general too largely usurp . the . place of entertainment : this letter is ,a happy mixture of both, and will therefore, we trust, neither be unacceptable to those who read for po litical information, nor those who look to the daily press for lighter amusement. Its style and manner re sembles the Memoirs of the Princess of BAYREUTH, lately published, and which presented royalty in so unfavorable_ a light, as absolutely to enchant the Edinburgh Review :—this writer on the other hand, happily setting before our eyes a picture which dis plays manyof the most amiable qualities of humanity possessed by'Sovereigns, and flourishing even in Courts. The magnitude, the extraordinary nature, the importance, and the deep interest of the events to which this narrative refers, cannot but render • it worthy of more than common attention. The Gazette of this evening will announce a Naval Promotion. Yesterday the Duke of CAMBRIDGE and Count MUNSTER had an interview for a considerable time, at Carlton House. • The Earl of Hut flown)! has a grand dinuer party to-morrow, at his house in Grosvenor-square. This moruing, at five o'clock, his Royal High ness the Duke of CAMBRI,DGE left town, and was accompanied by his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENcE, Count MUNSTER, and a numerous re tinue. The Duke of CLARENCE will only accom pany his Royal Brother to Sheerness. Dem.

AyLMEIt, 'An Evening Paper says—" Private intelligence from Paris, up'un which, we understand, reliance !pay be placed, states, that there have been vet y warm discussions lately in the Senate, and that in consequence of the opposition of opinion to Buo trAPARTE, shewn by some of the Alemberi, four of them have been arrested and sent prisoners to Vincennes." In consequence of an order from Government, that the Dutch prisoners from the different depots should 41enible at Colchester, there to take the oaths of allegiance to the STAtirnounn, previous to their being sent to holland, this ceremony, we understand, commenced yesterday, and is to be oontinued every day as the prisoners arrive.
