PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
ui.cuE, MAY 10.

We chic day learn, that Gen. Nlontrichard's head-
quarters are to be transferred from Breda. We know 1,
not whether the General will then take up his resi-
dence at Bois-le-Duc or at Nimeguen. From Ninie-
guen we have information, that the number of the
French troops there has been of late so augmented,
that most of the houses-at present lodge each four or
five soldiers, whom the householders are obliged to
entertain at their own expence. In the territory cf
Cleves, 3000 French troops are now expeded. •
The lilt:avian government has at length agreed,
at the repeated solicitations of France, to give a
sum of money, under the name of an advance, in
order to discharge a part of the pay due to the
troops ; but it has not yet been determined whether
these troops are in future to be in the pay of our
Republic.
The variations in our news rrlativc to war and
peace have been such, fur several days, a: to pro-
duce flatuation.s in the prices of Stocks, which have
occasioned bankruptcy in several commercial houses.
The Government presented this morning, for the
approbation of the Legislative Body, a plan for a
new system of national instruction. It is referred to
a Special Committee, with directions to examine the
same, and report their opinion of it.
