The following Proclamation was issued at
Rotterdam on the 24th insi.—■—
Burgomasterahifi of the City of Rotter
dam. The Burgomaster ofthe City of Rot
terdum, having learnt with the utmost indig_
nation, that yesterday evening, at the time
the French soldiers in garrison-here paraded
in the great market place, and also at the
barracks, a more numerous assembly than
usual, or rather a very great multitude of
people collected ; and that, not only by their
violent pressure accompanied by the hoot”
ings of mischievous boys, was the exercis
ing of the soldiers very much impeded ; but
also that the result was, that the soldiers
were insulted and injured, and that they
were pelted with stones ; a part of the said
multitude having followed the soldiers to the
barracks from which they afterwards retir
ed :—
And that, in the mean time, one of the
French Officers on his way from the bar
l acks to his residence, was wounded in the
head with a stone thrown by one of the
mob :—
The Burgomaster, being on the one hand
anxious that the said Officer should receive
tha • isfactinn to which he is justly enti
tie l ; . lid. on the other, that peace and tran
quilitv which ought, under all circmnstan I
ces to be kept wi hin this city, should be
maintained, and those who shew a dispositi
on to interrupt the same he punished, and
this city and corporation thus secured from
those inconveniences, disorders and injurious
consequences, to which they might other
wise he exposed.
Has thought proper, upon consulting the
Magistrates, and with the approbation of the
Heer Drost of this Quarter, to offer and he
hereby offers a reward of 100# Carolus guil
ders tothe person who shall give such in lor
mntion as shall lead tothe apprehension and
conviction of the perpetrator of the criminal
act above mentioned, and further a reward
of 300 guilders for the discovery of the insti
gator of the insults, or any person who took a
part therein. The name of the informer
shall, if desired, be concealed.
The Burgomaster takes this occasion to
warn all and every individual, in the most
earnest manner, to abstain fr>m fit eking toge
ther or assembling in crowds in any place, or
places within this city ; and more especially to
guard against so asst milling at the barracks,
in the great market, and all places wheie
there may be French soldiers or Custom
house Officers.
He further charges them, neither by looks,
deportment nor gesture.., much less by
words or deeds, to offer any instil ; nor to
use reproachful language, or expressions
tending to a breach of tlie peace j nor to be
guilty ofthe slightest outrage, by hooting at
or pushing against ihe French military offi.
cers, soldiers, aod^Custom house officers ;
but on the contrary, that they treat all of
them with every degree of respect. Inas
much as every person who shall, in future,
be found molesting, or in anyway obstruct,
ing, the soldiers in garrison in this cny, or
committing any excesses, shall be punished
for such oft mr.es, according tothe laws of
the Empire, and the state of the case, even to
tlie extent of capital punishment. And all
parents and tutors are charged to keep a I
strict watch over their children, for which
theyshull he specially responsible ; all and
every, being hereby warned that the garrison
will oppose force by force.

Common Council.
Another meeting of the Common Council
was held yt sterday, relative to the privile
ges of the House of Commons and a reform
iii Parliament. Some Resolutions and a Pe
tition were moved, and carried by a major,
ity of six. A respectable Morning Prpur
says, that “ had it not been for the depar
ture of some of the Aldermen betorethedt
vision, and the unhandsome conduct of some
cf the Commoners, the majority would have
been against the Petition and R-snluti.ms
Sir C. Price, Sir C Plowed, Sir J. Perring,
and Mr. Alderman Scholey were,” adds that
Paper, “present for some time, but could
not stay to vote. Two Commoners, who had
paired off with two others, very unfairly re j
turned and voted for the Petition ; and two ■
more, who spoke against the proposed tnea_
suie, afierwatds divided in favor ot it, to the
great astonishment of their friends.” The

| Sketch of some Observations on (hit Occa
sion
Alderman C Smith was at a loss to pei -
ceivc what design or contrivance there C'-uid
be or. the part of Ministers He thought
that it might make a considerable alarm in
distant places,. 300 miles from town, to be
told tha. the House of Commons w.ts impri
soning Englishmen, (a laugh.) Tne Gen
tlemcn 1 ho. however, now opposed this pri
viiege, s.. I nothing ag linst it 12 months ago,
when Gen. Clavering and Capt. Sat-don. and
other people were sent to prison He th »’t
that every man in the country would have
had a serious cause of alarm, if the Com nuns
had not supported their privileges on tire re- )
cent occasion.
Mr .l ick', said, that his learned Friend,
(Mr. Qiimn) had touched very lightly in his j
speech, on the long list of grievances enu- :
mcrated in his motion.. It appeared to him,
that this power could no wliere he so well
vested as in the House of Commons! After
quoting some ol the precedents, he cited an
extract from “ Peter Porcupine,” condemn
ing Gale Jones’s former conduct ; and he
censured warmly the conduct of Sir Francis
Burdett in associating with traitors He de
nied that any reform, according to ni.plan,
Could he attended with advantage to the
men of property ; and lie th- ught that the j
representatives of Westminster, were rather
the representatives of the active citizens of i
•S'. Giles’s,the Seven Dials, and Covent Gar- I
den, than of the men of property in West- I
minster. He said, that no two reformists !
had agreed in their plans. Those of Lord *
Chatham. Mr. Grey, Mr. Brand, and Sir j
Francis Burdett, were wholly different; and !
as he saw no good likely to arise from the 1
discussion, he thought that this was a most [
improper time to agitate the country upon
the subject.
Mr. Mawman had nodoubt in the world,
from the concurrence, both of history and au'
thority, on the point, that the House of Com
mons had a tight to the power which they
exercised. Lord Coke in his fourth Insti
tute, gave them the right of judicature, and
jmlge Foster declared the law of Parliament
to be the law of the land Sir Francis Bur
dett himself had allowed the House, the !
power of commitment in cases of contempt,
and there could be no greater insult offer
ed to it than the paper which ho had pub
lished.

I'MPOKTANT.
Extract of a letter from an American "cn
(Ifman in I'arie. dated May 31 itt,/ur the
Tamaahmaah, from Liverpool.
*' Things ure daily growing worse, and rny
hopes, which from the first were faint, arc
entirely extinguished. There is a report in
circulation, that an order has been sent to
Bordeaux to1 sequester any American funds
which mav be in the hands of the merchants
of tha; place. This may not be well found
ed : but it will not turfirize me, The ofii
errs of government are extremely vigilant
in frustrating all partial arrangements. Jn
Dunkirk, there has laiety been two cases of
ships ciinured bv privateers, who exnpro
nijed with tlie cap 'as, one of which was
the America, of Philadelphia, and the mas.
ter pain the captors 100,000 francs, and i.n !
mediately on taking charge of Ins *iii|>, she
» it. seized by the officers of government
and seq estered. In short, J do not sec any
pratpect of any American property under
stiture in tiiis country bring released.”
our letters observes, that apprt hensioriH were
felt, that tlie government ai Stotkhi -tin
would issue a prohibitory decree to the in
jury of our commetee, but it was lioped that
the unpopularity of such a measure would
disappoint the intentions of the Trench par- !
ty in that capital.
'The art produce of the stamp duties on
news_papcrs and almanacs for the year end
ing the 5th of April, amounted to
278,846/ 6i. 61 The duties on advertise. I
inerts for the same period, amounted tcJ J
