From refpeftabli authority we are infor

written a letter to an opulent correspondent
of good mercantile information in this
town, under the date of Od. 8j which
states—that the affairs of Holland were
' almost defpera e. It is (aid, young Mr.
Dick Ison, lately of, this town, was in
Holland, on the 28th Sept, and his intelli
gence may be depended on —he fays, that
the Dutch are, as fix to one in favour of the
French Republic—he further fays, that he
expels e^ery day to hear of the surrender
of A mite rd am. We have not seen this

the rapid advance of the French army.—
Since the capture of slays, and other fron

about (even leagues from Utrich ; and as
there is rib oppojition on the part of the al
lies, it is generally thought they will be
in the neighbourhood ol this city in less
than a month.”
In addition to thia extrad, wfe learn,
that i» Amsterdam they are so fearful of
mobs, that they have placed cannon and
200 armed men, with lighted torches to
prevent the people from riling—allo at the

While it is considered by American cit

offices of the highest importance, by men
or uncommon tallents, cf clear beads,

qaiihment of the arduous duty of Secretary
of the Treasury, will be*deemed an inesti
mable loss to our Republic—-his abilities
have never behn dilputed even by his most
implacable enemies; their persecutions
have produced the most incOnteftible evi«

pilclofe truths greatly to his honour and
