WAR WITH HOLLAND.
London, June %
Lord Hawkefbury, at the bar of the House,
preferred the following Moss Gracious
MESSAGE from his Majesty:
George R.
His Majesty thinks it right to inform the
House of Commons, that, from an anxious
desire to prevent the calamities of War being
extended to the Batavian Republic, he com
municated to that Government his disposition
to refnea their Neutrality, provided that a
similar disposition was manifefted on the part
of the French Government, and that the
French Forces were forthwith withdrawn
from the territories of the Batavian Republic.
This proportion not having been admitted
by the Government of France, and meafurcs
having beer, recently taken by them, in dire&
violation of the Independence of the Batavian
Republic, his Majesty judged it expedient to
direct his Ministers to leave the Hague ; and
he has since given orders, that Letters of
Marque and General Reprisals Ihould be
illued against the Batavian Republic and its
Subjects./
His Mujefty has at all times manifefted
the deepest and most lively interest for the
prosperity and. independence of the United
Provinces. He has recourse to these pro
ceedings with the molt tincere regret, but
the conduct of the French Government has
left him ^o alternative ; and in adopting
these measures he is actuated by a sense of
what is due to his own dignity; and to the
security and elTcntial interests of his Domin
ions.
[After the message was read, an address of
thanks for the communication, puffed nem. con.
BREMEN and HAMBURG TAKEN.
JUNE 18.
The Hamburg Mail brings the following
article of intelligence :
" Bremen,- June 5, (12 o'clock at hight.)
Yesterday evening a French General entered
this city. He immediately waited on the
the Chief Burgomaster, and desired that all
English property here, under whatever de
nomination it might be, ihould be taken
poffeflion of : And that all English tailors at
present in this place, as well as all other
persons belonging to the English service,
should be put under arrest. As soon as this
demand was made, the officer who had come
with it, went away to Gen. Mortier?'
What answer was given to this insolent
and audacious request, we are not informed ;
and what number of English persons, or
quantity of English property, might be at
that time in Bremen, we cannot pretend to
calculate. But, be that as it may, this out
rage will hot be confined to British fubjeds ;
some pretext will soon be found to involve
the natives therTrftUvoe tn th& ccrnECcation^
There is little doubt but the fame measure
will take place at Hamburg, which city, i?
was generally thought, would escape the
danger that threatened it ; but we are forty
to add, that such an expectation mult be dit
appointed, as the French Troops took
possession on Sunday last, the 12th
inst. =

In this town on Monday last, Mrs. Mary Tack
fen, aged 37, consort of Mr. Clement Jackson,
merchant, and on Tuefday, Miss Mary Ann Tack
fen, their daughter, aged three years. This be
leaved family had been vilited by death on the
person of their eldest fun, Mader Richard fackjon,
aged 11, on the 19th of July. The firft of Au
aud, the fecund son, Matter Clement Tackfon, was
seized with the fame disorder, the canker rash.
Every effort of medical power, directed by the
hand of genius, science and friendship, was anx
iously employed to save this darling child ; that a
mother might not fink beneath the repetition of
fitch fevtre firokes. The child was saved but the
mother died. Few women ever lived more be
loved'; few, very few,' have chimed tenderer,
deeper, and more lading regrets. An aged
grand mother, mother, and holband are mod
sensibly affected. The babe of the bosom, repof

uncommon furrows—They implore the compaf
