commerce In prohibiting the seiz

to the powers at war when in free

have admitted the circulation of
afiignats to a certain amount for
the benefit of the French soldiers;
Their revolution has proceeded
with great quiet. Overyffel and
Guclderland are not from their fn
uation quite so happy as the other
States. The Engbfh have been
greatly harraffed and reduced in
their bombers by their retreat in
this country. The Dutch have
entered intoanalliance with France,
have forbidden all emigrations and
the foreign ministers have had a
conference with their President.
Adrtiiral Ikingbergen is said to be
under-an arteft. Several German
emigrants of rank, are at Amster

fate Os the Dutch colonies are not
yet reported. The Cape of Good
Hopie are said to be favourable to
the republic, and an address has
been sent to them. Surinam had
no news of the revolution on the
jothof April, nor the islands in
its- vicinity. Sr. Euftatia has been
differently represented- St; Mar

Tories are making great military
preparations, and afe very ictentivd
