Canterbury, March 12, !79s\
Died suddenly, last night, the son of Mty
James Foster, of this town, aged 6 weeks.'
At 8 o'clock in the evening, when the par
ents went to bed, he was apparently well,
(except feme flight fymptomsof a cold,) and
in about one hour they found him dead.
The i§th of last Oft., Omb called from
them another, under two fears of age—in the
morning of his days—in the beauty of child
hood. Thus, are these tender parents de
prived of their two only fotys, and they have
now left only a daughter to bewail the un
; timely death of her little brothers. Yet this
may afford consolation to the afflided par
ents, that they were cut off in the morning
of life, in the days of innocence, before vice
had difcoloured the purity of their hearts, or
fin beclouded their minds with sorrow and
remorse.

BOSTON, MARCH 18.
Probable Capture of Amsterdam.
The intelligence io circulation of
the capture of AMSTERDAM by
the French, amounts only to a prob
ability. This information is by the
way of Newyork, where the brig Ly
dia, Cape. Shackerly, has arrived from
Amsterdam, in 57 days. Though
some of the Newyork papers an
nounced its positive capture, later pa
pets give only the following account ;
which is confirmed by letters receiv
ed id this town, ftatiog that the
French army were within a short dif
cance of the city ; that al! expectation
of resistance had been given up, and
one letter fays, "All hopes of Peace
are fled."— Here follows the New
york accounts :—
" Newyork, March 9. On Satur
day arrived brig Lydia, Capt. Shack
erly, in 56 days from Arnfterdam.—
Letters have been received from
thebcem late as the 7th of January.
We have seen those addressed to a
refptcUble house in this city. They
at efferent dates, fete the progress of
the French : That, at one time, they
ctoffed the Rhine and the Waal, and
drove in the pofts,gftablifhed there.
It had been afterwards reported at
Amsterdam, that they had recrossed
those rivers; but the poftfeript to the
last letter of the 7th fan. declares all
hopes of flopping the progress of the
French to be entirely at an end, and
that they would undoubtedly be in the
city in she course of two or 3 days—
No disturbances had taken place a
mong the inhabitants, who, on the
contrary, were calmly waiting their
fate. t Q
OBSERVATION. ~,
Our political readers can best judge
of the causes that have changed the
face of affairs in Holland. Our last
accounts indicated a separate Peace
between her and France, and Com
missioners were actually sent to Paris,
to negociate it. Whether the de
mands of the one or the other were
too high; or whether the French,
after agreeing on a winter's campaign,
meant io be beforehand with their
- enemies, and therefore broke off the
negotiation, 10 strike a great blow be
fore their enemies coulcjbe in the
field, are circumstances which our rea
ders can judge of, as well as We can.
