The change in the Dutch Government is no
ticed in the Moniteur. which has pubiidled the
Pro lgir^tion addrefled bv the Dire&ory to the
people upon transmitting the plan of the New
C nditution to them. The conduct of the Ex*

violation of every principle of judiee ; but the
r:me is pul when fuch proceedings excited the
indignation of the people The Dutch viewed
thefe changes with th: urmolt indiffe ence ;
not the flighted disturbance took place ; the
public cared neither fur their executive nor
their legitlative authorities ; they let them
quarrel, and fettle their difputes as the? pleafed.
The Moniteur, with an anxiety nor Fkely to
letnove fufpicioo, fays ; “ that the French Gen

did not in at y refpefl intetfere with the hufi

e^er, would rvfiftance have been ? Tbb-tHtUoft
exertions of valour would have been unavailing,
and refinance wctild only have aggravated the

arrival with his reinforcements would have pro
duced a great change in the ftate of afFaiis.
Every account that is received from Egypt,
mentions the mifunderftandings that h ive Uktm
