“T TTRECHT &‘Amfterdam
are in the hands of the en
emy, and they are expected here
to-morrow.—Our whole Court
with Lord St. Helens, your Am
baflador, left us last Sunday for
Scheveling, a circumstance that
has not little turned the minds of
many against the Stadtholder’s
family; so that we have every
reason to believe a rupture will
soon take place between this
country and England.—We ex
pert that all communication will
be soon flopped between the two
counties ■ This is probably the
last mail that will be sent off by
the present rout.”
DUTCH NAVY.
Hopes are still entertained, that
a part of the Dutch fleet would be
bro’t off, as a number of the offi
cers and seamen were attached to
the House of Orange, and it seems
the passage was still open, or at
least that they might be destroy
ed. Against this probability,
however, there was the certainty
of a strong and most vigilant op
position among the burghers,who
had formed themselves into a
committee of observation, and
had pledged themselves to preserve
for France, the navy, arsenals,
and public property of all kinds,
entire, upon condition that private
property of all kinds, should be
held sacred-, that the Republic
should be made independent; and
that the Magistrates should be
freely chosen by the people. These
were the only terms they demand
ed from the French, and upon
these they propoled to enter into
an alliance, and to agree that their
navy should co-operate with the
fleet of France against the English,
whom they call the common ene
my*
Admiral Kingsbergen remain
ed in the Texel with the Dutch
fleet in commission. It is suppo
sed that he will declare in favor of
the majority of his country men.
A paper at Vienna, contains the
foliowing as terms upon which
France has agreed a peace with
the emperor, may be concluded :
I. France will cede the Austri
an low conntries to a Prince of the
Empire.
II All the conquests weft of
the Rhine (hall be lettered to their
pofleflbrs.
111. The navigation of the
Rhine and the Sheldt, (hall be laid
open.
IV. The restoration of the
French Weft-lndia islands (hall
be guaranteed co France.
V. Holland to become a free
Republic, and independent of the
Stadtholder.
The last accounts from the
British army, state, that they were

From the Providence Garutte.
Mr. Wheeled,
ALTHOUGH pride in its most
usual fignification is by no
means commendable, still there
are certain kinds of pride which
are very natural, and productive
of no ill consequences, either to
ourselves, or to society. The
pride, for instance, which every
good citizen mull take in the hap
piness and prosperity of his Coun
try, of the particular State lo^hich
he belongs, or of the town in which
he resides. For the gratification
of this kind of pride, I have (elect
ed from undoubted authority, a
statement, which must be gratify
ing to my fellow cownfmeny as
serving to (how them our relative
importance compared with other
towns on the Continent. We may.
hereby difcovcr, that tbit spirit of
FRANCE.

By this last statement, it appears
industry, which has so effe&ually
operated in our little town, has
not been confined to any local in
fluence, but has,in its consequences
proved beneficial to our country
at large, by increasing its revenue,
and thereby affording support to
our excellent government: Under
the particular heads, I have only
mentioned thole towns which ex
ceed us in quantity or value.
It is fir ft to be observed that
in New Hampshire, New-York,
Pennsylvania and South Carolina,
almost all importations and expor
tations are made to and from one
particular port in each of those
State—viz. their refpedive capi
tals.
