Whatever m ty be the resolution of the First Consul, respect-
Mg the final evacuation of thi Rat ITt3ll Republic, by the troops
of France (a subj xt on which this Gaircounent rcin.iim in a
state of doubt and miceitainty) there seems reason to suppose
that a ccit.iin portian of them, the 11-Viand 74th demi-brigade;
of infantry, amounting to about four thousand men, are to be
embarked at 11,,Itoctslurs, and trauslsorted to Louisiana, under

bury; deed Path, December 13, 1602..
My Lord, Paris, Dec. 13, 1802.
Your Lordship will learn, by my former dispatch of this
date, the star which is to be taken by the Dutch Ambassador,
for procuring the evacuation of the Butavian territory by the
French troops.
1 cannot flatter myself that any din:ic.l interference on my
part, would, under the present circumstances, asaist in pro-
moting this iinpurtant object ; and 1 know that the Dutch Am-
bassador entirely coinchles with m. • in th is opinion. I have,
however, invariably, held a larigusige on this subject, conform-
able to the general instructions winch I received on my depar-
ture from Loudon.

I have the honour to bt‘,
WHITWORTH.

Extract of a Dispatch from Mr. Liston to Lord liawkesbury ;
dated the I lague, 11th Jan. 1803.
The negotiations batween the Secretary of State and M. de
Semonville, respecting the continu:nce of French troops in the
Southern garrisons of this Republic, have been carried on with
uncommon activity for the last few days; and flys morning M.
de Sparre, sun-in-law to Madame de Senionville, set out for
Paris, carrying with him the Ambassador's report of the result
of their conferences.
The Dutch. Government, though they appear to be devoted
to the idea of the independence of their native country, have
adopted the opinion, that it is, upon the whole, wiser to yield
to the wish of Bonaparte, to continue for a limited time small
garrisons in some of the frontier towns, than by an obstinate re-
sistance to draw on this Republic the fate of Switzerland.
