AMSTERDAM, Jan. 11. WE just now received intelligence that the fortress of Nieuwe- sluis had surrendered to the French without the least resistance. Their conduct at Utrecht has been exemplary. The rumor has spread here, that they have sent a strong column in the country of Beinteym, twelve leagues from Munster, which would have completely surrounded the English army, and forced them to surrender prisoners of war.
January 18, in the evening. Yesterday we learnt here that the van guard of the French having approached the suburbs, were visited by a deputation from the regency. They afterwards entered the city, where an immense crowd assembled before the hotel of the arms of Embden. The news of the deliverance of Utrecht was received with universal applause, and all expressed their most ardent desire of breaking their fetters. Consequently, this morning, the 18th, the people put themselves in motion and assembled before the abovementioned hotel, each with a national cockade in his hat. At two in the afternoon, there was a deputation at the Bourgue's master's. At returned at four o'clock. Shortly after, the cries of Long live the Republic , were every where heard.
January 19. At eight o'clock in the morning all the bells began to ring and patriotic airs were sung. Two tricolored flags were hoisted on the state house. At eleven, the tree of liberty, crowned with a hat, was planted on the dam. Several in-accustomed patriots were recal- ed by the people, and conducted in carriages with great solemnity to the state-house.
January 25. The French army is very well received in every part of the city. A strict discipline is observed. It is pleasing to hear the Dutch youth singing Ca Ira , through the streets. When the martial music strikes up the air, they all join in chorus. The national cockade has caused that of the Orange totally to disappear.
January 23. Yesterday, a new tree of Liberty decorated in the most elegant manner and crowned with the cap of Liberty, was planted before the town house. It had been prepared by a society of staunch patriots, and carried in procession, with great pomp, from the church to the place where it was erected. Every person desired to touch it, and all who assisted in carrying it deemed themselves happy. It was planted during a concert of various musical instruments. The national guard of Amsterdam formed a circle around, within which a great number of young ladies, dressed in white, and decorated with the three colored ribband, danced amidst the acclamations of the people. It is charming to see the harmony that reigns between the French soldiery and our good citizens.
About the end of the last week, general White, went from hence, with a body of troops, for Helder, to seize the vessels of war which were there, as well as port New-Dieppe, in which expedition he succeeded, as well as that of port Helvoetluys, whither he went for the same purpose.
Extract of a letter from the Hague, Jan. 19. "We have had a new proof of the Stadtholderian party, and of the assembly of the ancient States General. It is now fully ascertained that in order to appease the patriots, those gentlemen had circulated a rumor, that the Stadtholder had resigned all his employments, civil and military, and
that his resignation had been accepted by the States general. This is a falsehood, and the councillors of the Stadtholder have been more expert, or rather more perfidious. We may decide on this subject, from the following resolution, entered into by the States General the 13th of January, the very day on which the Stadtholder departed. The patriots have found this infamous document in the secret register of the deliberations of their high mightinesses.
"Sunday, Jan. 18, 1795. "Report has been made to the assembly by Mess. Groteny and other commissioners of their high mightinesses for military affairs, who have been directed by the resolutions of this day, written at the Hague, and of the following tenor—"That the circumstances which make his highness foresee the lot that awaits him in case the enemy should penetrate further into the country, and his not being willing to oppose any obstacle to peace, of which the good citizens have so much need, have determined him to quit the country with his family, for a certain time, hoping that their high mightinesses will not disapprove of this step. His highness prays the Supreme Being to shed his most precious blessings on this once happy country, and to restore its ancient splendor. He protests solemnly, he has used his best endeavors to serve it well, and that he utterly despairs of being able to contribute any further to its defence. And finally, that if circumstances should, at any future day, allow him to be useful to his country, which he holds dearer than any other object in the world, their high mightinesses will always find him disposed to exert himself to the utmost. His highness has determined that his two sons, whose resignation of the command of the troops of the state he has accepted, should accompany him."
Having deliberated on the premises, and had regard to the actual state of affairs, which demands some precautionary measures, which cannot be taken in the usual mode of deliberation, it has been found necessary to declare, that whatever may be determined for the present and hereafter, shall not carry any prejudice at future times to any person whatsoever. It has since been determined to write to the commanders of troops, as well as to the governors, commanders of cities and fortresses belonging to the States General, that his highness has withdrawn from their territory only for a time, and that his two sons, the princes of Orange, had been dismissed from the command of the army; in consequence it has been ordered that all the military officers shall provisionally forward the counsel of state of the Union, all the military and other reports which have hitherto been submitted to the said prince, in capacity of captain-general of the United States.
Extract of a letter from Dunkirk, 14th of Pluvios.
"At present the report is general, that Zealand is in the power of the Republicans, and that admiral Kinbergen, has by orders of the regenerated states, hoisted the three coloured flag."
PARIS, February 2.
Perpignan, Jan. 11.
The bad weather delays, it is true, the progress of our victorious army; but it does not suffer alone; it has been a greater injury to the enemy. Their fleets suffered much in the nights of the 15th and 17th—one of their large vessels had lost every mast or spar, and was towed in: 12 or 15 transports were cast ashore between the mouth of the Nougat and Roses. Several vessels besides were dismasted,
among others, the vice-admiral's.
The Rose-bud has been evacuated, and as we are in possession of the Bud we shall soon be in possession of the Roses.
February 7.
Bruxelles, Jan. 26.
Yesterday two representatives of the people arrived here from Amsterdam, they are going to Paris. Every where the followers of the Stadtholder lay down their arms. The English army is invisible; it is presumed that part is withdrawing towards Hanover, and that the remainder must be near Brele and Helvoetluys, if they have found means of embarking.
We are credibly informed, that several magazines, and 200 English vessels, in the Zuyder-sea, are in the power of the Republicans.
The capitulations of the towns and provinces of Utrecht, concluded with the French, contains the following articles:
The lives and property of the inhabitants shall be under the protection of the law; no one shall be molested for his conduct during the war, or the period that preceded it.—Entire liberty of religious worship.
All the other articles have been declared by the French general beyond his power to grant, and have been referred to the decision of the representatives of the French people.
January 27.
Every moment we are favoured with new details of the immense riches which victory has delivered to the Republicans in Holland. They exceed even the fondest wishes we entertained. They found a superb foundery of arms at the Hague, the city of Delft offered the most considerable and best furnished arsenal of Europe. The city of Dortrecht contained 632 brass cannon, 40,000 stands of arms, and immense quantity of warlike stores of all kinds, and provisions enough to maintain an army of 40,000 men during a whole campaign. Excellent dock-yards, fitted in a masterly manner, for the construction of ships, and provided with timber enough to create a numerous fleet, were only part of the immense advantages resulting from the capture of Rotterdam. Every where magazines glutted with provisions, which the Dutch, guided by a prudent economy, stored up, in order to sell them with double advantage in a calamitous year.
Gold is not the most precious article the provinces of Holland offers us. Provisions of all kinds, and an abundance of those merchandizes which begin to become scarce in France, are of much more importance to the republic, and if we know how to take all the advantages of this conquest, the former abundance will soon return to France. The maintaining of our armies will cost the republic not a farthing, and our enemies disgraced, confounded, defeated and routed on all sides, will be glad to accept, kneeling, the conditions we shall please to grant them.
February 11.
The Hollanders have established a convention. Their constitution is to be published the 5th of February. The arms of the Stadtholder is every where taken down. The States General of the United Provinces have decreed the following Proclamation, it has been just published:
PROCLAMATION.
"The Representatives of the French people who are at present in this country, having communicated to us that it would be necessary to make immediate provision for the pressing wants of the French army, and having consequently demanded the following articles:
200,000 quintals of wheat, 5,000,000 of hay of 15lbs. each,
200,000 bundles of straw each of 10lbs. 150,000 pair of shoes, 20,000 pair of boots, 20,000 coats and waistcoats, 40,000 pair of breeches, 150,000 overalls, 200,000 shirts, 50,000 hats,
The whole to be delivered at three several periods, within one month, at Bois-le-Duc, Thiel, and Nimeguen.
And further—12,000 oxen, in the space of two months.
Decreed to be furnished accordingly."
The representative of the people Briez, delegated to the armies of the North, of the Sambre and the Meuse, has written to his colleague, Merlin of Donay, that the French troops on the 19th instant, entered Middleberg and Flushing; and that all the province of Zealand is in their power.
From the Monsieur Universal of the second of February.
ARMY OF THE NORTH.
Letter from General Daendels, quarter master-general, at Laerdam, to the people of Holland, dated Jan. 17.
"The representatives of the people of France expect on the part of the people of Holland, that they should set themselves at liberty: they are neither willing to conquer nor to force them to receive assignats; but on the contrary to make an alliance with them as with a free people. Let the cities of Dortrecht, Haerlem, Leyde, Amsterdam; let all Holland make their revolution; and send deputies to the representatives of the people of France who are now at Bois-le-Duc.
Signed, the general of the division,
DAENDELS."
NATIONAL CONVENTION, February 2.
The representatives of the people with the army of the North, of Sambre and Meuse, wrote to the convention from Hague, on the 21st of January.
"The strong holds, Willemstadt, Breda, Gorcum, and Bergen-op-Zoom; the Dutch fleet detained in the Texel by the ice; the ports of Tiel and Helleborn, are all in the hands of the republicans. We owe the capture of the last mentioned port to General Bonneau. Learning that 600 of our brethren were there held prisoners of war, he gave intimation to the commander of that fort of his intention to get possession of it. He in consequence, armed our brothers who drove out the English.
"We send off to Paris as prisoners of war, the princes Salm and Hohenlohe, [not the great Hohenlohe who was in the Austrian service,] who were stopt with an aid-de-camp of Clairfayt.
"They had offered a considerable sum to two captains; one Danish, the other American, to transport them to England. These brave men answered, that not being at war with the French, they would do nothing against their interest: they would observe strict neutrality. We shall write to the minister of Denmark, and the United States to testify to them the gratitude of the French republic."
A thousand plaudits interrupted the reading of this interesting intelligence.
Marec, organ of the committee of public safety, reported that the Brest fleet, had experienced, during its cruise, which had been only 24 hours, the fury of the winds; three vessels have been sunk, their crews, however, had been saved; three others had been damaged, but not very considerably; two of them have been since repaired.
The same member reported, that since the arrival of the last

messenger, 28 prizes had been taken. [Sup. K. Herald.]
Lexington, May 2.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia to his friend in this town, dated April 2, '95. "A vessel arrived here yesterday from Cadiz in 29 days, which brings certain news of the French being in possession of Amsterdam, the gates were opened to them in February. There seems to be a perfect understanding between the French and them—The French have got almost all their fleet and 1000 sail of merchantmen—The Stadtholder with his family are in London, where it is expected the French will soon visit them: The French general has wrote the Stadtholder to that purport."

BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
SALEM, March 17. Captain Grant, in the brig Union, arrived yesterday at Marblehead, in 56 days from Lisbon. A few days before he failed, a packet arrived from England, with information of a French fleet of 33 ships of the line, being in the English channel, and capturing all the inward bound merchantmen, & that Lord Howe was preparing to go out and engage them. Captain Grant heard nothing at Lisbon of the capture of Amsterdam.
NEW-YORK, March 21. By accounts received at Philadelphia, the French invasion of the British settlements on the coast of Africa, is confirmed. The colony at Sierra Leone, has been severely visited.
This settlement was projected in 1791—and a bill brought in the house of commons by Mr. Thornton, for incorporating the company, which had been established for the express purpose of cultivating West India and other tropical productions, and ameliorating the condition of the free blacks, who were to be the principal settlers. The settlement, however, has been unfortunate since its commencement. At one time attacked by the diseases, consequent to the rains which over deluge the country—at others, by the treachery and cruelty of the natives. The natural articles of the country, which had become objects of considerable traffic, were camwood, ivory, gum, pepper, hides, and beeswax; and the plantations on the river had promised success to the experiments in sugar, cotton, &c. This last derangement, however, will most likely prove fatal to the whole establishment.
By the brig Endeavor, Captain Hill, from Guadalupe, last from St. Bartholomews, we learn, that 4000 troops had landed there from France, chiefly mulattoes, who were all fine looking men, well clothed and under the highest discipline; they were preparing gun boats, &c. for a secret expedition, supposed to be against St. Domingo. The Captain says, that in his opinion, thirty thousand British could not take Guadalupe, the fortifications and works being in a complete state of defence, and the troops and inhabitants in the highest spirits.
Captain Hill also mentions, the cargoes of American ships that are taken by the government, a certain price is fixed on them.
April 1. Extract of a letter from Antigua dated the 11th of March, to a gentleman in this city.
"Having written you lengthily yesterday, I take up my pen now, merely to inform you, that an English Schooner has this day arrived from Grenada, with the intelligence, that the French had landed there and were in possession of near three fourths of the island—The confirmation it occasions here you can easily imagine."
PHILADELPHIA, March 12.
Yesterday arrived here the Schooner Dove, Capt. Town, from Marigalante, via St. Eustatia, he left the former place on the 4th ult. and the latter on the 8th do.
He was informed at Marigalante, that 3000 troops only, had arrived at port Liberty, from France, and that a fleet of sixty sail of armed vessels, including transports and store ships, with a number of troops on board, were getting ready at port Liberty, to go against Martinique, which place they expected to conquer in a short time. Capt. Town says, that the Commodore of the French fleet, who was arrested at Point a-Petre, at his arrival there, was honorably acquitted, and Mr. Q.
Brien was still kept in confinement.
GEORGETOWN, Feb. 17.
Letters and verbal information from Amsterdam as late as the 12th January, state, that the French were expected daily; that they had taken Utrecht, within twenty miles of the capitol, and had nothing to stop them.
NEW-LONDON, March 19.
Extract of a letter from respectable authority at Barbadoes, to a merchant in this city, dated February 9.
"On the 6th, a vessel arrived here from England, which brought the important information, that the British outward bound fleet was blocked up in Torbay, by 36 French ships of the line. And that the British were preparing a fleet to relieve them."
"Guadalupe and Marigalante are by British proclamation declared blockaded."
IN BREST,
It is said, there are about 1200 English prizes, and 20,000 prisoners.
BALTIMORE, March 24.
Arrived here on Sunday last, the Schooner Amazon, captain Gould, from Guadalupe.
Captain Gould informs that an attack upon Dominico, was in agitation by the French, and by what we could learn, they had 5000 effective men, every way completely equipped for the business.
Flour was selling, when captain Gould left Guadalupe, at eleven dollars per barrel, beef at fifteen dollars, clayed sugar from 75 to 80 livres, and brown sugar at 50 livres. He likewise saw a sixty-four and two frigates off the cape.
On Thursday morning arrived here the Brig Fyshipone, Captain Melvin Miller, from St. Thomas's.
He informs us, the English acknowledged, that unless they obtained speedy relief, they could not hold any part of St. Domingo many days longer; as they were blockaded in the towns of Port-au-Prince and St. Marks; they dare not go out for fear of the Republicans.
On Saturday the 7th March, spoke a brig from Newburyport, captain Stevens, who informs that he was lately at Martinico, and that the British troops there expected, that they should be obliged to evacuate that island shortly, unless relief arrived to them from England.
On Wednesday the 11th of March, spoke a Schooner in lat. 22, 40, long. 75, 10, lately from the Isle of Leogane, Capt. Foster, bound to Boston; who informs that the Schooner Ariel of Baltimore arrived there ten or twelve days before capt. Foster left that place: that he was boarded by an English frigate off Cape Henry, who took from him four of his hands. Capt. Miller was also informed at St. Thomas's, by a gentleman lately from St. Domingo, that the inhabitants were in daily expectation of being taken by the French; that so strong were their apprehensions on this account, as almost to cause a total suspension of business; he also says, the French are in full possession of St. Lucy.
