LONDDN, . 1116.1DLY, ,JUNE 16, 1806: 'E received Yesterday 'Paris and Dutch Papers, the - former to thy: Bth, arid the 'latter to the 12th inst. The loilg'expeded change iji the Government of Holland' hasat length' taken place, and'that once formidable Republic now nominally converted into a Kingdom, but in reality into a Province of 'France. The official details of this most important event are contained in the Moniteur of tse 6th inst. On the preceding day the Ambassadors from tly.: Bataviats liepublic were 'admitted. into the presence of BotcA PAti-r.s, when'Adiniral VERB a 3 the Chief of the Em'bas'sy, made a solemn surrender of the Rights and Independenco of his Country, and in the name of 'the People of the Batavia!) Rep,ub. iic, hUmbly irrnilofedlits Imperial Majesty that he would be graciously pleased to accord to them, as Pug of Holland, Prince .Lotns'• NAPOLEON ; to Whom, Admiral \TER HE,ItTL adds, they will commit the safety of their Lairs, the defence of their Pat4li ea4 Rights: and all the interests of their h . /ova/ . Country. With this humble request BoNt.rtaTe of , courSc c6ndescended to comply, but in terms, not quite so gracious as We should have expeded',Upon , such 'an occasion ; , He tells them that he had long seen_ the inconveniencies which, had- arisen from the.defedive form yf their Government, and sett' frankly adis, that the 'present proposition for change in the GovgrnMent had bmn, brought about "by his! Councils. Indeed' we must do Bo- NAPARTE the justice to say, that be acted upon this occasion without the least disguise, for . in ad._ dressing icing Louis, he told hirn that he must never, cease to be a Frenchm'an, and that the Dignity of Constable Of/France should be for ever vested in him and his heirs, in order to keep in his reiwwarance the duties which he owed to him (BoNAPALIATE).— This . mo3t extraordinary and important event (upon which the People of Holland were never consulted, and of Which indeed they were never informed except- ky' general rumour) .was settled in . a Treaty, epncluded at Paris on the 24th of last inoutu, ttt which BONA PAK' giikrant-ees to Hol land the maintainanc of its Constitutional Rights, its Independence, and the Integrity of its Pos sessions in the two Worlds. It is not explained 'whether this Article includes the Possessions of Hal- . . land at the aimmeneement of the War, or whether it. relates to her Fossessions i t the time when . the Trcity was concluded. The. other Artielei of 'the Treaty that very little from the statement 'which we, several days ago laid'hefore 0‘..4 Readers: The, new king is to have a revenue of two millions of florins, 500;000 of which is to be in Idnd, • and the remaln, der to be paid monad!, out of the Public Revenue.-- 7 In the event of a minyrity, the Regency belongs to the Queen, and, in her default, the Emperor of the French, as perpetual. Chief of • the Imperial Family, into name the Regent of the Kingdom. Previously to the audience of the Dutch Ambas sadors', the Turkish Ambassador was introduced to BONAPARTZ, whom he addressed in the truoPrien- , tal style of. hyperboliCal compliment; he called him " the most 'mighty among Christian Mo narcliS,." and " the 'Man' who holds the sword of valour, and wields the sceptre ofjustice;" and con cludes 'with saying, " that his Master esteems him the. oldest, most faithful, and most useful Ally of the Empfre." 7 -In rep y- to this `2/I.lress i ToN.I • 4 FART E woks use of the'folloiving reniark'abb;expres- sion : ‘,‘ Sultan ShLrm. neFer can have any dangewto ap s 6rehel•diroMA - ne; iinited with the in the bonds of peace and amity, he wilt not have reason to ap , prebend the poWer of any of adversaiies:', .

The Gazette of Saturday contains an Order of Council for allowing friendly and neutral Nations to trade to the Cape •of -Good Hope.; prohibit ing, however, the importation of Asiatid Goods, or Military Stores; except by the India Company, and restricting exports generally without licence. A promotion of Admirals is spoken of as about to take 'place immediately ; to include Capt. STOP FORD, who is the 2 st on' the Captain's List. ' A feW years ago the GEND SIGNIOR issued a _Proclamation,' in which he spoke of BosA PARTE; arkd his " treacherous genius"' in terms 'of the utino4 abhorrence ; but now, (ve find, that:his AMbassador at Paris i'ordered, to address the Imperial CorsiCan in the highest style of Eastern adulation;scalling him the greatest among the Sovereigns of Christendom —bright Star of Glory—holding with t firm hand the sword of valour and the sceptre of justiee-=--sub lime, and immortal Emperor."
