' YEsrEaDAY Dutch Papers to the 26th ult. were received; they bring very little intelligence, ex. cept that the French are using every effort to intercept all correpondence between Holland and this Country. The fact is, that the Dutch have lately manifested such open indignation aglinst the conduEt of their oppressors, that it requires all the vigilance of the French to preserve even the appear. ante of tranquillity. The report of a change in the Government of that unfortunate Country, which we mentioned same rime ago, is again revived, and it is said that the Hereditary PRINCE of ORANGE is, under some title or other, to be placed at the heat)' of the Government, under the proteetion of France. OUR. Letters from the Coast contain no news of importance. We are sorry, however, to find that the Ceargiaxa hired Cutter got aground neat Hon. flcur, and the Crew found it necessary to set her on fire, to prevent her being taken by the Enemy. The Crew got off in theit Boats, though they were fired at by the French. \ At the Court at Weymouth, on the 20t11 Sep. tember 1804, present the Kitac's Most Extellent Majesty in Council ; His Royal Highness the DUKE Of. bustax was, by His MAJEsTv's command, in troduced into the Privy Council ; and His Royal Highness took his place at the Bard on His MAJESTY'S right hand. Letters were received on Saturday from the Squa. dron off the Texel, brought home by the elp, which on Friday arrived at Sheerness. Our Ships had rode out the late severe gales without any ma. tet ial damage, but some of the Enemy's Vessels were observed on shore—they had not shewn any fresh indications of putting to sea. Y,s! etday morning dispatches were received from Admiral CORNWALLIS, off Brest, dated the ult. They state that the six large Gun.brigs, which had to; some time been closely watched by the Dori, and Atalante Frigates, for the purpose of preventing their escape into Rochefort, had, in the preceding night, accomplished their purpose.

I don't hear of any of them being returned ; but I have been informed by a Cutter, which this morning arrived with Dispatches for Mr. PITT, that the supposed Frigates were three large Praam,, very long and low built, each mounting from twenty to thirty 24... pounders- and with them were thirty Sail, and upwards, of Gun.boats, which came from Dunkirk, with intention to reach the general 'rendezvous at Boulogne; but in consequence of the appearance of our Ships, the Enemy very prudently took shelter in Calais, where they now are; and it is said, it is the intention of our Squadron to make an attempt to cut them out, should a favourable opportunity ,present itself.

Txxr misrepresentations of thellforniNg Chroncle• tTon this subject are of such a nature, that they in a great measure answer one another, and net unite. (pertly answer themselves; a continuance of the controversy, on our parr, is therefore unnecessary : It can throw no new light upon the subjen ; and the exposition of the virulence and injustice of the Writers in the ilforpriag Chronicle, which must neces. sarily be the consequence, is, at this time of day, we trust, a superfluous task. We wish, however, to remind our Readers, once more, of the state of the case. The present llitikters had been blamed for suffering the payment of Tribute by Spain to Franoe ; we stated the simple fsel, that the Treaty containing this at. rangement was made under the farmer Administra. Lion : to that Administration, therefore, belonged the responsibility which might attach to our CV!. duet respefling that Treaty. So far from putting the present Question of War or Peace upon the pint of Thnour alone, we expressly stated, " that our observations' upon the subjea could only apply to that Question, if we supposed that the late Ministers were not tacitly consenting to the proceedings of Fits CATHOL I C MA j ESTY."'-" Flow f.ir, from other causes posterior to the Treaty, it might he necessary or expedient to commence a War with Spain, we did not at that time pretend to be able to guide the opinion of our Readers. The inter view which took place on Tuesday last, betweew Lord HA& ROW BY anti the Spanish Merchants, giv ing a different complexion to the subjea, our4m mem& upon what passed on that occasion cock it up as it referrei to those posterior causes, —it as it concerned more immediately the present Ad, ministration, We leave it to the Public gts decide whether in this condo t there was any " shifting of rots/I,l' l on our part, • No desire to • make a display of superior informse might unduly or judgmen t uyon a n i a 3 ‘ l, o vi t ll ta i n n t du s c u e bi o e s et to as offer su ch corn, ro lio e n nts c d , , tr a e n n d icie ce c r a t n a n in o l t y p t r l o le vo o k b e se a r , i v t a di t ue ier n l c s e of th i e he pu is b 7, l i r c n tLi g in to depart from a ruk which our respe does not.
