IT is reported, that in the last assembly of the states

ance with France ; that great debates arose on that
fubjeft ; federal being of opinion that they ought to
proceed to a formal and reciprocal alliance, in conse
quence of the resolutions of Friefland and Groningen;
and others, that they should be content with the trea
ty of amity and commerce, pursuant to the propositi
on of the province of Utrecht.

We have received advice, that the king of Great-
Britain has sent orders to his minister at Paris to
sign the peace with the republick of the United Low
Countries, on the fame footing as the preliminaries
have been signed ; and that his majesty has nominated
Mr. G. Crawford, formerly a merchant at Rotter

the best order by the French, who had evacuated it
the 22d of February, and that on the 24th the flag

U-T R E C H T, April 28.
The government and the whole province is in a
state which engages general attention and curiosity.
The people appear unanimous for reforming the abuses
under which they have laboured for so many years.
Happily the magistrates agreeing with the people, en
gage themselves to promote this salutary purpose.—
They have issued a publication, inviting all the citi
zens, burgesses and inhabitants, to propose such plans
and ideas as may seem proper for the reformation of
government.

According to the last letters from Germany, they
are apprehensive of feeing the flames of war break out
in some parts of that extensive empire. The fame
letters add, that they are to proceed, next fumnter,
to the election of the ninth Elector. The candidates
who are most likely to be invested with that eminent
dignity, are their Serene Highness the duke of Wer
temburg and the Langrave of Hesse Caffel. The
publick papers have announced, near two years ago,
that the august Head of the Empire and the King of
Prussia, intend to support the firft of these Princes
when this grand affair comes on.
LONDO N, May 17.
Private letters from Bombay, by the Crocodile
frigate, mention, that the capture of Cannanore had
been loudly complained of by the Dutch governor at
Cochin, that fort belonging to a Princess in alliance
with the states, and who had joined them against the
Samorcen (a title equal to that of king of the coun
try powers.) It was pretended the fort in question
was some years since built by the Dutch for the pro
tection of their pepper trade, and that some of the
Republick's fubjeCts were in the place when it was
taken, and made prisoners, though afterwards set at
liberty by order of the commanding officer.
The Sphinx, commanded by M. du Chilleau, is ar
rived at Rochfort. Ihe letters she has brought from
India advise, that Tippo Saib still raises difficulties
and delays to the definitive conclusion of the peace.
That Prince said to General Macleod, “ Englishmen
and Frenchmen, rhe only point that divides you is the

purpose, viz. Not to set a flitch in any goods for la

Extract of a letter from Edinburgh, May 5.
" On Thursday last a number of gentlemen met at
the Tontine coffee-houfe at Glasgow, and agreed to
join their fellow fubjeds throughout Scotland, in ap
plying to the legislature for a more fair and equal re
presentation of the nation in parliament, and also to
extend the privilege of voting for members of parlia
ment, so as to give the sense of the people at large in
the choice of such members as shall be chosen for
their representatives in parliament."
May 22. I he important determination of the states
of America in favour of this country, by an exemp
tion from those imposts to which Great-Biitain will
be fubjeded, call for an unbounded return of grati
tude on our part ; and our firft care, therefore, should
be to improve this extraordinary indulgence, and rea
der the commercial intercourse between Ireland and
the states, as honourable and permanent, as benefi
cial, by a ftrid integrity in our dealings with that ge
nerous people, who have so highly distinguished us.
The court of his grace the duke of Rutland will

French king's brother, now in London, and many
other personages of the firft diftindion, shortly to be
paid here; that illufirious and gallant nobleman, the
Marquis la Fayette, is hourly expe&ed to arrive in
the capital, being extremely desirous of attending at
the several volunteer reviews throughout the kingdom.
On Tuesday evening last the Belfaft volunteer com
pany paraded for the firft time, and are to meet every
evening previous to the ensuing review :—We have
the pleasure to affine our readers; that about thirty
stout young men have joined that company within
these ten days last past; a number of young men have
also entered with them for the purpose of manning
two brass fix pounders, in addition to two already the
property of the firft company of this tows.
Yesterday the 18th regiment, now quartered here,
were reviewed preparatory to their marching for Dub

'Tis said the Lords are immediately to enquire in
to the alarming emigration of the thousands that are
daily forfaking their native country, and flying to fo
reign lands for that support which has been so cruelly
denied them, where Heaven firft bid them into ex
istence. It perhaps would not be amiss if their lord
ships would so far condescend, as to extend their re
searches into the present mode of letting lands in Ire
land, and whether the tenant is fufficiently encou
raged and projected from the tyranny and rapacity of
his landlord. Their lordships may be amused with
the idea, that no evils of that nature can exist in this
land of humanity. The cottages ruined—deserted,
unpeopled on the lands of Roebuck—around the hos
pital manffon of Tcmpleogue, and the plains of San
try —proclaim aloud, “ there is something rotten in
the ftate"—and all those ruins of oppreflion— two to
four miles from the house of lords of Ireland.

tend for, and those attract you, because they enrich
you. You have ceased to fight, because you have no
more money. Return then to Europe, to ceconomife
the produce of your subsidies: You will afterwards
come back to cut one another's throats amongst us,
and tear from us our wealth and our productions." —
This shews that the Europeans are well known on
the three coasts.

Extrafl of a letter from a gentleman at Antwerp,
to his friend in London.
" Of all the Princes in Europe, none seem more
Readily to promote the happiness of their fubjeCts
than the Emperor. In all his schemes and projects
he is cautious and deliberate, but resolute and per
severing: He seems determined to restore Antwerp
to its ancient fplendour, when it was the emporium
of the European continent, though lately Celebrated
only for its convents and nunneries, its pictures, tape
stry and thread lace shops, &c. About 200 years
since, the Dutch taking advantage of the weakness
in the Austrian government, funk several large ships
laden with stones in the mouth of the Scheid, the
river which conies up to this city; and in 1584 they
built Fort Lillo, as if to support their intention of
carrying all the trade of Antwerp to Amsterdam; op
polite to Lillo the Emperor is railing Fort Joseph.—
The Dutch will in all probability pay for their for
mer treachery and cruelty to the inhabitants of An
twerp, who were their' confederates in the cause of
liberty. Several eminent traders and merchants ar
rive in this city daily to fettle in it."

Extrafl of a letter from London, dated May 29.
“ In our present diftraCted situation it is difficult to
fay what may be the intentions of ministry with re
gard to permitting the Americans to trade with the
Weft-India islands. As it is understood that our fou
rifhing colony, Nova-Scotia, does not abound in lum
ber, and that the exalted expectations formed of fup
plics from thence are chimerical, the Weft-India
merchants are clamorous for the ports in the islands
being immediately open for American vessels of every
denomination. This will be a bitter pill for the mi
nistry to swallow, but, notwithstanding their wry
faces, it must go down. It does not admit of a dis
pute but what the mother country will be materially
injured by granting this solicited permission, but if
the king of France should open any one of his ports
in the Weft-Indies, all the trade in that part of the
world must centre there, because the French can af
ford to fell their sugars much cheapei than the Eng
lish, and consequently to supply the neighbouring
islands with lumber and provisions at a very low rate.
“ We have got a new ministry since I wrote to you
last, and they have changed the parliament, in hopes
to have considerable majorities to fandion their mea
sures. I wish young Pitt well, both for his father's
fake, and because I believe him to be an honest man,
but I fear very much he will not be able to overcome
the formidable opposition raised against him, they be
ing a set of parliamentary hacks, in the habit of set
ting out every fubjed that suits their purpose with
such aggrandizement as to make it difficult for plain
honest country gentlemen to determine which fide of
the question to adopt. In the mean time luxury en
creafes more than ever ; nothing is talked of but pro
cessions through the streets, with Fox at the head, in
his buff and blue uniform, a livery which the prince of
Wales and all the minority go to court in, to pay their
refpefis to the king, who is as fond of the colour as
a turkey-cock is of scarlet. Happy George the
Third! thou haft in the space of twenty years lived
to fee thyfelf stripped of America, deferred by every
ally, hissed and hooted in the streets, and openly
braved by thy favourite son, whose sole Rudy is te
American Intelligence.
