The negotiation with the Dutch goes on but slowly
owing to some claims hitherto infixed on by the Bates
general, which this country can neither in honor, nor
in prudence grant. Authentic account?, however, fay
that there are the greater hopes of those obflacles be
ing soon removed, as the deputies of some of the pro
vince! have been observed to relax a good deal, of late,
in their language relative to the matters in dispute.
This change, we are told, is an eff-& produced by the
firmnefs of new ministry here, and not by any new
sentiments of moderation in the councils o' , the repub
lic, had there been any viable profr &, that persever
ance in demand would have prevailed against justice.
Anecdote, from a late Dublin magazine. A cyni
cal old bachelor being asked, the other day, what&were
his thoughts of matrimony ? he replied, “ It is the lot
tery of love, in which there are so many blanks to a
prize, that I wonder Mr. Cupid has not long since
been a bankrupt."

Extracts of letters from gentlemen in London to their
friends in this city, dated April 2.
" The loyalists have, too' not without difficulty and
nppofition, appointed agents for the federal colonies,
to solicit a cornpen ation for trie facrifices made by
their attachment to this country. They often fit, and
from the speeches in both boufes of Parliament, they
have reason to hope for success in some degree. They
will confider those in their application who shall be
obliged to seek an asylum in this country, as one of
themselves.".
" Notwithfianding the flipulations in the treaty re
fpefling the evacurion of New York, it will be impdf
fible that it can be soon dore. Some gentlemen will
^pdeavour to prevail on the board of agents to, urge, the
necessity to the new ministry, of keeping that place
as a cautionary Security for the recommendations of
Congrtfs, refyeaing the indemnification of the loy

Extract of a letter from London, February 28.
“ Very great fubferipuonb io all parts of England
has been collected for buying 'corn and potatoes for
the poor ; the corn has been extremely dear, owing
to the bad crops last year.—To fee what luxuries all
ranks of people aspire to, is really surprising, for I
have just seen a footman behind a coach with an um
brella in his hand, because it rained ; can you suppose
any thing so ridiculous; and I imagine it will be of
equa use to him in summer, to keep his delicate com
plexion from the Torching fun. All the fine ton men
are getting gold ear-rings like the ladies, and look
like io many Indian chiefs. The dutchefs of Devon
shire's bractlets are Ike a dog's collar ; a piece of fl
v^r or gold plate lined with velvet, her name on one
arm, and place of abode upon the other."
Extract of a letter from Durrekheim, on the Rhine,
received by the last packet.
" While peace is taking place in your quarter, pre
parations for war are making in Europe, all level at the
Turk; the emperor is fending troops, ammunition,
ordnance and every other requisite to Hungary. The
king of Prussia takes part (as toe papers fay) and is
marching 40'000 men to the fame place. It is sup
posed this is a plan of old Frederick's and will occasi
on a pretty division. Whether the French, although
much in want of money, will remain silent fpedators
on this occasion is much doubted, nay, it is asserted
that they are fending 80,000 men to the Rine —if so,
they will cut but a poor figure. The emperor, the
king of Preffia, and the empress of Russia, when unit
ed may prescribe laws to the whole world."
