LONDON, FRIDAY,' FrIIRDARY I, 1805• LAST night we received the Paris Porn to the 13(1, and Mach Pagers to the 29'h ult. They contain a great variety of intelligence, and some of it of more importance. than any which we have re., ceived for some time past. The most interesting article, however, is the Speech of M. VAte His. sEL.r, a Member of the Dutch Legislative Body, upon the demand of the State Dirediory for a new Contribution upon Capital. This Speech, which we have extraCted at length, describes, in . the most animated language, the state of unexampled misery to which Holland is reduced ; the distraCied and unsettled state of her Government, the total stagnation of all Trade, both foreign and internal, the profuseness of the public expenditure, increasing in proportion to the diminution of the public se. sources, the daily increase of taxes, already enor. mous beyond all precedent, not only upon Income, but upon Capital s the disorganized state of the' rmy and Navy, which are represented as being in a state of Insurrection, are all depined in the mast glowing colours. lint M. VAN HASSE I.T is not satisfied with enumerating all the calamities of his Coun. try—he boldly points out the cause of them ; and, we believe that every man, both in and out of Holland, will agree with him, in ascribing them to the fatal connexion which has, for the last nine years, subsisted between that unfortunate Country and France. Whether this Speech is m.,,rely the result of pa. triotic feeling driven todespair by an uninterrupted series of insults and oppressions, or whether M. VAN 11A.161U,T has been enenuraged to deliver this faloti of the State of Holland by that Power, which, from its connexions. is most interested in her fate, and from its situation is best enabled to rescue her from,iter Tyrants, we cannot at present tteeide. We are, however, strongly inclined to adopt the latter supposition. The disposition which the KING of Nowt". has lately manifested to resist that systetn 'of aggression upon which France has hitherto aned, leads us to hope that he will make some attempt for . the deilverance of Holland, or, at 'least, to mitigate the intolerable slavery under which she now groans. The intelligence in the French Papers, whether in the shape of, 44. Letters," or Reports," are all o f th e frost flattering kind. The probability of a Peace is more than once hinted at ; and it is posi. Lively asserted that England and France have accept. ed the Mediation of Prussia—The GA AND SR IGNOR has suddenly changed the whole System of his Po. !hies, cut off his Grand Vizier's head, and declared himself openly in favour of France—A dispute has , taken place at Vienna between the English Envoy, Sir A. PAGET, and the Austrian Minister, Count Con ENTZEI, in which the former is stated to have behaved with great intemperance the Islands of Guadaloupe and Martinique are in the most secure and flourishing state, having been amply sup. 'plied with provisions, and ammunition by two Fri. Ste. tke. With respett to all these, reports, we shall only say, in the words of the French Pa. per from which ,they are taken,' that they steered ;re heed - di the strongest confirmatiott. it is also reported, that His Imperial Highness josr rit is to ascend the Throne of Lombardy, and that he is to be crowned by the Pope on his re.. turn, to his Dominions. In order to accompliith this objea, BatyA PM 1 E himself, it it said, means to visit Italy.

The BriMont left Loch. swilly lately, in company with the Spanish Ship captured some time ago by the Neptune, Captain NPKINL AY, of this port, for the purpose of seeing her safe into Liverpool ; they were driven off the Irish coast, and Came'together, as I formerly men. tioned, to the Sound of Luing during a tremendous storm. The Prize went through and must have gone on to the Sound of Mull ; the firilliaat went inside of Luing, ran as far up as Ardmacidy, where she came to anchor, and 'struck on a sunk rock in passing the little Island of Torza, but, as she made no water, it is supposed she has received no damage. The American Ship Co/untbia,'WA TT , from Char.. leston for this, was at anchor off Port Dunochie, between.the south end of Luing and the island of Shona, and the man who brought the above account also states, that an armed Ship, of and for Liverpool, from the West Indies, is now in Loch Crinan, in great distress, under the command of the second Mate, the Captain and Mate having been lost dur. ing the pasqge, and six men only being fit for duty, She came into the Sound through the dreadful gulf of Carrivrechkrin, where she lost an anchor and ca. ble, and she likewise lost one in the Sound of Luing. An express arrived here last night with an ac. Count that t h e Margaret, IVIIL ft LE , of and f or thi s ort, for New York, was dismasted in the gale of Saturday last, in Lochindaal, Islay ; and it is said, the Wilton, Wool), 'was on shore and full of water. The Liverpool Vessel above alluded to, is the George, from Africa, and is now, Owing to the great exertions of Capt. WATT, of the Columba, for the Clyde, got into a place of complete safety. She belongs to the house of Messrs. HIMDIMSON and SILL L E RV, and is loaded with palm oil, ivory, and dye.svuod. She lost her Captain, First Mate, and several of her crew on the Coll6t. An experienced hand was put on board to take charge of her, the Se. wild Mate being too young. BRITISH NAVY. STATEMENT OF THE DIaTRIBUTIQN eV THE nRt.
