Patrick's Hall. Letters from Holland., dated on Tuesday, state that intelligence of a late date to hive reached P a ri s from the West Indies, and infer, from the silence of the Parisian Journals on the hu6jett, that it is of an unfavourable nature. M. 01 , 1), the French Minister at Munich, is to go to the Hague in like quality. These Letters mention, that the Naval Prepara. lions at Flushing, Antwerp, and Dunkirk, are car. rietl on with unretnitting , activ ity , anti add, the at Rochelle, Ruchefort, and L'Orient, as well as in the Mediterranean Ports, several new Ships of War are building, under positiVe iojuottlions to be completed at given periods.

GENTLNIEN, I am sorry to 1.” under the necessity of represent. ing to you the glaring, if not wilful and wicked neglc of ti.e Sheerness Yard, in the last equipment of the Romney. After the hurricane of the 10:h ult. I naturally supposed the ship must have strained in her topsides, and I requested both the Builder and Mi.Roberts.to have her thoroughly examined, as I could nut depend on the Carpenter who then belonged to the ship. I received a fair and specious promise; and after the strong language I was obliged to hold of their negleel in the equipment of ships, and in particular the fitment of the Romney's ports, I thought they would have dune their duty in a point so essential to the safety of the ship, and the ease of the ship's company. I find the ship making a great deal of water in her topsides, so much so as to make it necessary to keep one pump g.)ing every watch when on a wind with a fresh breeze ; and I now learn, that the day previous to our sailing, the .MasterSaulker said he could Out answer for the ship, as she was nearly within course of caulking, and ought to have been thoroughly caulked. I shall try, while we remain at this anchorage, to get a few Caulkers to caulk the wales, and submit to the decision of the Board, whether there is not reason to complain of such neglea, when a ship is bound, on so long a voyage as the Romney, and obliged to work her pumps every watch before she - quits the Channel. - I have •the Hor.our to be, Gmtlemen, (Copy) Your mast obedient !mble Servant.
