HAGUE, Oct. the Extraordinary Sitting of their . High jqightinesses, on Saturday last, the following Letter from his Majesty was laid before them " SO THE ASSEMBLY OF THEIR HIGH MIGHTINESSES. " MY Loftt , s, "When we took a temporary leave of you in the month- of June, we flattered ourselves with a happy return. Sensible of the burdens and grievances of our good people, it- became an obje& of our inde fatigable zeal to discover the means of putting an end to the general inconveniences arising from the situation of the Finances—inconveniences which might have been foreseen several years past, and which, if we may use the expression, have been at different times occasioned by rash and inconsiderate ' conduCt. , flattered ourselves that the same Pro videncia which had imposed that difficult task upon tas, would also have.rewarded our zeal and exertions in behalf of our beloved people, by putting the weans of their delivery in our power. The public ex pehditure . was already emulated in proportion to the revenue.; we already enjoyed in perspeCtive the period of a manifest 'improvement; we began to be acquainted with the affairs of the Country ; and in our own mind we had already fixed the day when we bknild be able to diminish the burdens of the people, which had become indispensibly necessary for the existence of the State. " On a sudden rumours of War were spread 0111'0 . 11db numerous preparations were observed at in , great distance 'trom our frontiers ; and, notwith- Standing our extreme willingness to believe that these hostile rumours would not be followed by any. untoward . events, it is not less true that we, obarged . aswe are with the important task of de fending and protesting our faithful subjects,' have fountl Or:Nikes obliged not to lose a moment, but, on the other hand, to collect all the means in our power for the security of our dominions. • • " Whenevtr War is, just, it carries with it a cer tain degee of confidence which we haVe already ex perienced ; cud. though we are threatened with hostilities at a.nmment when the - Army is reduced, -we take upon us to assure our people that they have nothing to fear i and that our vigilance and activity are fixed - upon those objeas most intimately , connoted with the security, the independence, and general AV elfare of our subjeets. 4( We have assembled our Tronpi ; we shall sold ourself in readiness to repel any attack; from. whatever quartet it may be direeted ; we hope,' nevertheless, that, notwithstanding these Wore seen. circumstances, we , shalt arrive at .the constant objet of our thoughts and actions. But as these measures of safety cannot be,adopted without occa sioning an extraordinary et Onditure, you will feel the necessity of afrordingus larger supplies of money thad Ilinse, intended fur tbe service of - the present year, which were only calcdlated fir the War-ser vice of the Navy at the period when the lash general computation was settled. • ,• ," Do not, however, imagine, my Lords,•that we shall be able at once to . make head against the ex traordinary expetices which the iftcessities of the State may demand, which have already been, and tray yet be, applied for the safety and preservation of the kingdom ; or that it is our objet to propose to you any of those expedients, the pernicious con sequences of which' would be generally felt. No forced impost. shall be laid either upon .capital or income. We only require _the customary imposts which the public treasury have already received' of the inhabitants. But, for the promotion of our objet, the period of payment alone remains to be anticipated, and that within the shortest tithe that can possibly be fixed. " We had reckoned upon a Momentary, aid froth our faithful cities of .Amsterdam and Rotterdam, to forward the preparations for war, without having - recourse to any other means; but though we ac knowledge the zeal and exertions of our Counsellors of State residing at Amsterdam and Rotterdam, it seems that a concurrence of peculiar circumstances has opposed obstacles to the complete success of their undertakings, We thus, had ourselves compelled to lay a pro posal before you, the object of Which is, for you to idemaud some sacrifices from the people. This pro posal you will find contained in the Decree which will be transmitted to you by the . Orators of the Council of State. " If, my Lords, on one side, the - contents of our projea shall make it evident that we have carefully avoided deviation, In any degree, from the per ception of the new poundage, established by the law of July 12, , 1806 so, on 3 otherland, we 'wish you to observe, that in proposing an antici , vation of the' payment of the new invests, regu lated upon the same footing as the old poutxlav, which is abolished, we are still pursuing - the same bteps for.,accOmplishing our views. It is upon this footing'unly that the new -imposts can be pro- dative,. and, tvhich will be the objea of your de. liberations. " We also wish you torobserve, that .we have no • time to lose that the business is pressing and that .any, delay will be produetive of the roost jurious consequences. You will, therefore, my. Lords, mak e use o f a ll poss ible expedition consis tent -with the objet of yout deliberations ; and, wi:wever may be the remarks made; in opposition t) the eaea.iuxesprilosecl, you will, riot iestridtben4„, cN\N admitting that any other means 'canbe devised which may lie better 'calculated to answer the lyres sUre of the moment. As this Extraordinary Sitting bas been.convened solely for the preschit objeal, it will not continue beyond the moment-your delibera tions are concluded. •My Lot&ls, when you return home, assure your fellow 7 citizens that we have no object in view btit their happiness, to which We shall incessantly devote our care and vigilance ; and assure. them, in particular, that we have a' claim to their mosi per feet confidence. And bow can, this confidence be refused to us ?. Does not the chataaer of an inha bitant belong still more to us than themselves ? There is none among them who is not at liberty to i chooSe another country if he does not feel' himself happy here, while we only are confined to the spot, without the possibility of leaving it. " If honour affords any certain pledge for the actions of nuinkind, the Hollanders will most un doubtedly remain faithful to their engagements. They will support us, in the execution of that task which the Country has laid upon us; and we shall be grateful to Providence, that the present oppor tunity is afibrded us, of knowing the 'extent of that confidence which we may repose in the sentiments of the Nation, and particularly in those of your High Mightinesses. My Lords, we. commend you to GOD'S holy keeping. . (Signed) "Louts. " W. F. ROEL, Secretary of State." This Letter being put into the hands of M. TWENT VAN RAAPHORST, the following Report was presented to their High Mightinesses on the 4th " HIGH AND MIGHTY LORDS, M. TWENT VAN RAAPHORST, and your High Mightinesses',Council- of Finances, in whoSe hands the Resolutions of the 4th inst. have been put for consideration and advice, relative to. his Majesty's Letter for passing a Law for raising the sum total' of the imposts by anticipation, have examined the, Letter aforesaid with due attention, and find them selves obliged to acknowledge', that the state of aft - 114 . s in which their de . ar Country is at present in volved, is in that Letter depiaed with so much truth and energy, that it would be to no purpose for them to, trouble their High Mightinesses with any other description than that which is expresSed in, his Majesty's Letter. " The lamentable proof of this state ot, affhirs which exists in the heart of every Hollander, and, aboVe all, the minds of your Council, can by no means be viewed in Pditierent light in an Assembly who have so much interest in the preservation of their Country. " Upon that Country alone have the eyes of your Council been exclusively fixed in the course of their deliberations. According to the judgment of your Council, it is beyond all doubt that the present cir cumstances in which the Kingdom finds itself render those measures indispensible, in order to put his Ma jesty in a situation to a&, in case of the breaking out . of the War, which threatens all around us, as well as to penetrate into our 'Country ; and that he may restrain its fury, and'anticipate or mitigate its ruin ous effeas. " It is not' less certain that measures of precau tion should be adopted in time, before the monient arrives when nothing may remain but an ill-timed regret for suffering those means to escape them. And, however burdensome new sacrifices may be Considered on the part of the people, it must be ac knowledged, that the disasters arising from the neg lea of necessary. means of defence may be Chore op pressive to each individual—and finally produce the inevitable ruin of the whole: " The annals of our Country supply us with more than one example of the support attbrded by your High Mightinesses to the spirit and confidence of the Nation ; and, convinced of your patriotism, we are encouraged to submit the measures proposed for your preient deliberations to the judgment of your-High Mightihesses. " Obstacles no doubt will interfere, and difficul ties, which, in their development, will be found to be of more importance than might be at first expeEt- . ed. But these difficulties will by no means leave your High Mightinesses at liberty to-advise the rejeCtiow of his Majesty's present proposals; in the prospect that other-expedients may be supplied less liable to objections, less burdensome in their execution, and more certain of success. However oppressive these measures may be felt, not only by the inhabitants in general, and in many respeets by the middling ranks of people, and Whatever your apprehensions may -be of the consequences of carrying these measures into execution, lest they may not answer in every respect . to the object proposecb—hoWever ardent your wishes may be to adopt less objeCtionitble ineasuresill We, pitstirde dig, under the present circumstances, you Will by no 'Means be induced to advise the je6tion of a measure that his Majesty has deemed Unavoidable, and for which You have no substitute to offer : at the same time his Majesty's opinion s can by nd means be supposed to trench upon the freedoni of deliberation in this Assembly with re speCt to the execution of the Law passed on the 12th of July, 1805, 1 7 611 are therefore required to deli berate upon these proposals, and tocommiunicate the result to his Majesty." The Deliberations being concluded conformably to the instructions cOntainAid in the Concept Missive addressed to their High, Mightinesses", the Report, which was printed and distributed among the Memt hers, and transmitted to, his Majesty, was gccom , - panied by, the following Letter " SIRE, Tt During a number of years our Country, groan ing beneath an unremitted series wif oppressiOns, has been flattered with distant gleams of hope, which have as constantly vanished. ' The areat events which must. finally decide upon the fate - of the world, and which have 4aad such a remarkable influence upon this, Kingdom, have frequently deceived clie best-grounded expe&ations ; and have caused the failure of the best concerted • measures. The presetit period offers a new proof of the truth of these assertions ; and we lament with you, Sire, that the flames of War, which threaten ed our Country and mankind at large with new disasters, have not been at this moment prevented by the happy result of the beneficent and wise nitasnres adopted by your Majesty. The events conneded with the present period are entirely out of our power ; tint that Providence; in which your Majesty so 3itsty confides, can so far over-ru,.;6 as to reudei - their result favontable to the 'continti; ance of the public Welfare. We hate been long accustomed to. Misfortune, and- wait the course of things with - calmness and tranquillity, Far from wasting time in' uMavailing complaints, we have thought it our duty to fix our attention to the mea sure on which your Majesty demanded our deli - - beration, as being necessary, for the , preservation of the State. The measure expressed in your Ma jesty's lettertWe have taken into consideration with the most convenient dispatch, together with the Decree added, to the same ; and we have agreed to the other measures fbr obtaining the necessary sums, an introdueilory detail of which your Majesty has-been pleased to lay before us. We have 'accordingly decreed unanimously respeaing the principal means, 'expressed in the Decree of the .Projea ; but we cannot flatter our selves that its , due execution will be et - fee - led without many difficulties, oppressive to land-owners, and the middling classes. At the same time, however, we declare, with that frankness which distinguishes the Hollanders, that it is not . in our power to think of any other expedient better adapted to meet the pressure of our present necessities. " The same concurrence of events, Sire, which have soften been the guide of our conduel ; the, same obligation to labour for the preservation of the State—the same desire of contending with multi plied disaster, and to restore prosperity to our dear Country, have again induced us to determine upon the present sacrifice. " We have adopted this resolution with so much the more willingness, because the benevolent dts 7 position of your Majesty was taken as a pledge for the utmost degree of justice and mildness m the execution of this measure, particularly •with re speet to those who are the least able to answer the demands made upon them ; and lastly, we are fully determined to concur in every effort for the preser- Vation of the country, and to promote with energy every measure that can or may be expeCied 'of our Assembly. • " Having thus completed the objet of our being called together, we return to our homes—there also shall we do homage to your Majesty's zeal - and good wishes for the public good—and shall communicate that confidence which we repose in your'Majesty to Our fellow-citizens. " This people, less animated by the impulse of passion than the impressions. of gratitude and af fection, are accustomed to practice an inviolate fide lity and .love to their benefaCtors. Sire ! the im pending dangers lacing overcome, and•the' welfare. of your adopted country being once'more secured by your exertions, may the consciousness of your having ensured the happiness. of a brave and noble nation be your dearest reward, when every other pleasure prized by mortals shall cease to exist. Sire ! \Ye-pray the. Almighty to take you into his holy keeping. k Signed) " W. G. J. VAN RHEMEN. (Undersigned) "J. COUFERUS." HALL AND, OCT. 11.—His Majesty the King of Holland, with his Suite, arrived at prieber g en on the nth inst. amicist the acclamations of the people ; And other public demonstrations of joy : his Ma jesty soon after took a ride to the Camp at Auster litz, which is henceforward the new name of Zeist, andnn the scite of which a city of that name is to be built, where he reviewed the troops, and ex pressed his satisfaaion,at their military appearance : he next inspe&ed the train of artillery, &d. His Majesty returned to Driebergen and next morning, at live o'clock, his Majesty departed, Oil his road to Wesel. VIP ZMI. SEFT. 24.—The Emperor departed ,„yes terday for tipper Austria, in order to inspe& the measure taken fix the defence of the Country near the city of Ems, and the borders of the river. of that name. The Archduke CHAtti.ts will also shortly set out for the same place, and,i.vith the same views. The Emperor has come td the resolution of maintaining an Armed Neutrality; during the pre sent 'circumstances of . Europe and the North of Oermany in particular. Orders have been issued .for strongly occupying the Austrian Frontiers, particularly ' those parts of them where the War is most likely to rage; and we hear that the Archduke CHARLES will in the course of next week reach the Frontiers of Upper Austria and Bohemia. .11 is asserted, that General . I‘tiOk has been 'sew- teneed to death by the Coutt Martial appointed to try Min.; but that the execution of the sentence de pends on the Emperor's ratificatiOn of it. BA v SEPT. Gazelle of this City contains the tbllowine - notification : " It his been found that the Civil Officers of the king of Bavaria ; in the Principality of Anspach, have put up for publiC sale, for the benefit of the king of Bavaria, those domains aid lands which his Majesty the king of Prussia acquired by the separate Treaty relative to the estates and revenues of Catholics in the Principality of Anspach, con cluded with Bavaria on the 2.:Al of NoVertiber,lBo2, and by the‘Provincial Compa& of the' 30th of June, 1803.• " But, as the said ecclesiastical Possessions are still the real and fairly-acquired private property of his Majesty the King of Prussia, and the objects of the PrOvincial.Compact were' ceded only on cer= taut eon i litions, not yet fulfilled on' the part of the King of Bavaria, with respe& to Anspach ; the public are hereby cautioned against purchasing of the King of Bavaria's Officers, On any terms what= ever, those objects, but particularly the Ecclesiasti•- cal ,Possessions, which are the private property of his Majesty the King of Prussia ; as such' pur-, chases are hereby declared null 'and void ; and the purchasers, in case they disregard this notice, will have to ascribe it tothernselves, if'they are afterwards driven by force, and without any Compensation, out of theillegitimate possessibn of thetti.

BALEIiiASLOE; Oct. 8.- - -On Tuesday Ris erieei rode round Lord CLANCionev's domaih, and after:, wards to view the admired stock of Cattle of a Mr, I ,; ARREt.i., of the Comity of Roscommon. The Show Prize Stock of the Farming Society being arranged in their Area in this town, the Duke came to in;.. sped it - at, two o'clock; attended by the judges of .the different Classes : he took a very minute survey of the whole, inquiring into the various pedigrees of breed, and skilfrilly pointing out the most preferable of their kinds, to • which Prizes had been adjudged; though they had not been declared. The Duke then pas - sed through the remainder of the stock ofsheep in the Fair, which experienced an unexpeaed decludion of price from SS, to 10i. per head. At sever o'clock • his Grace honoured the Farming Society with his company at dinner, being received by the Committed. at the hall-door, who preceded him to the great room with wait lights, the Band of the North Wyo . Militia playing " God save the King." Nearly coo Noblemen and Gentlemen, the principal Agricul turists of Ireland, were assembled on this occasion; His Grace was seated on the right hand of the Presi; dent, Mr. FOSTER. After the healths of theKtN6; the QUEER and PRINCE of WALES, had been drank; the-President gave, " The Lord Lieutenant of Ire• land;" which was drank with the most maked plause. His Grace concisely thanked the Assembly. for the honour thus conferred upon him, and drank " Prosperity to the Farming Society of Ireland. - To this.succeeded, from the Chair, the health of Sir JOHN SINCLAIR, and the Agricultural Society of Eng.; land, Mr. COKE, Lord SOMERVILLE, &c. and then; May the breeding and grazing oldie Empire long boast df the . successful Patronage of the House of BEDFORD !" which was rapturously drank with threo times three. The Duke ,soon afterwards' rose,' and observed, " That he should propose a toast, which he was assured would meet with the cordial appro• batioti of every one who felt an interest in eie Commercial and AgriCulttiral interest of the Empire, their, highly repeaable President, the Rignt Hon. JOHN FOSTER." The enthusiastic reception of such a sentiment, from such a quarter, may readily be conceived: As soon as the tumult of applause had subsided ; Mr. FOSTER declared himself " unable to express what he felt for the distinguished honour which had thus been conferred upon him, and there fore he must content himself with an acknowledge. , meet. of that inability, and drinking their healths." About ten' o'clock the Duke retired ;" soon after which ) the President informed the Society, that, in compliance with the requisition of their Committee, he had written an answer to the letter with which his Grace the Duke of .BEDFORD had honoured him, on behalf of the Society, which he would sub unit to them for their approbation. It elegantly exi pressed,the high sense of gratitude which the So ciety felt for the liberal and distinguished donation of Stock with which his Grace had presented them; and was unanimously approved of.--Nothing could exceed the rational hilarity of the day ; which was heightened, as usnal,, by the sprightly music and Vocal talents of GEORGE GRIERSON Esq. whose " Balhnas toe Fair," and other appropriate songs, kept the Society in, a state of felicitous conviviality till a late hour. PA,INT, A POISON TO CATTLE.—The following cir-i turnstance is communicated principally for the in formation of Farmers and Graziers, who probably are not aware that a very small quantity of white lead, taken into the stomach of a bullock, will. quickly de4roy him : A few days since two fing young oxen; belonging to John Apsley Dalrymple; Esq. of the Gatehouse, Sussex, died so suddenly that the men who had the care of them could scarcely believe their eyes when they saw them ly ing dead in the field. Mr. Tooth, Farrier, at May field, was, in consequence, sent for, and on his ar-, soon discovered that the animals had been lick- , ing.some gates which had been just painted with white lead and oil, and that the active operation of the poison had produced the eireds above stated. A similar circumstance came Under Mr. Tooth's ob servation, some time ago, in Kent. A few days since, in a garden at Hartington i in Derbyshire, two hundred and two potatoes were gathered frorit one stalk, six of which weighed more than blb. eacii. The whole of the household and domestics of the late Right Hon. C. J. Fox were dismissed on Satur, day last, by order of the Executors.
