H AG U E, March 24.
The inhabitants of the greatest part of the different ci
ties eatrieflly infifl,that the ties of friendfhip between this
republic and that of the thirteen United State of Ame
rica, may be more closely connected, and that the inde
pendence of the latter may be publickly acknowledged-
No petition on this fubjeft has been presented from
Dort; but a letter written on the 20th instant from that
city, fays," That the merchants,'convinced by repeat
ed proofs of the zeal and endeavours of their regency,
for the real interest of commerce, thought it needless
to present a petition, after the example of the merchant
of other cities; that they were content to teftify vil
tually their desire, that ties of friendfhip and commerce
with the United States of North America may be con
traßed: that this measure bad been crowned with such
success, that on the 20th of this month it was resolved
by the ancient council, to authorife their deputies at
the affernbly of Holland, to concur in every poffiUle
measure; that Mr. Adams, without delay, be acknow
ledged in quality of minister Plenipotentiary, that his
credential-letters be accepted,land conferences entered
into for that purpose.
PETERSBURG H, Feb. 20.
The epidemic disorder which has been (-^prevalent
here, has not spared either the empress, or the young
grand dukes, her grand sons. There have been some
days, when her Imperial majefly could only be attend
ed by one adjutant-general, one gentleman of the cham
ber, and one valet de chambre; it was with great diffi
culty that a fufficient number of guards could be found
capable of doing duty, and there was obliged to be a
general cessation of business in all the colleges and offi
ces of slate. The foreign miniflers, particularly those
of Vienna, France, Portugal and the Netherlands, have
paid the fame tribute as the natives The college of
physicians attribute this disorder, which happily has
cost very few persons their lives, to the alternate chang
es in the weather, from the heat and damp in December
last, to the excessive cold which followed in January,
and which after a very short duration, was succeeded
by the fame hot had dry temperature that was felt in
December.

L O N D O N, April 3.
A singular circumflance happened on Saturday even
ing last. A lady elegantly dressed coming out of the
opera, was laid hold of in a rough manner, as (he was
flepping into her carriage, by an elderly man. The
servant lifting up his arm to correct the offender, she
fcreemed out, “ ft is my father I" and fuffered him
without expoflulation to put her into a hackney coach,
which he ordered to drive to an inn in Holborn—lt is
said he is an apothecary in Northumberland ; that the
young lady eloped l about fix months fince,' and that
he had but lately difeovered her situation; that (corn
ing to enter the dwelling of her seducer, he traced hr?
to the opera, and there recovered her. Early on Suu
day morning he put the fair frail into a chaise, a^
set off for,heir native town.
