We here made tome extract. f.on the Meniterr
the 13th. sad Dutch Papers c.ftue 'foe

unfortunate people of Holland have already ex-
perienced • wimple of the mild and paternal Go-
vernment of BONAPAITS! Its first act has been to
issue a Proclamation, by which every soldier quar-
tered in Amsterdam is authorised to demand of the
person upon whom he is billeted, a daily allowance
of a gill of Getters, Z 4 ounces of bread, two ounc►
of greens. eight ouucrs of meat, and a pot of beer.
Thts is almost equal to placing the army on bee-
quarters, for there is not one word about payment
to the poor Dutchmen.

. The Russians display new energy in their war

against the

owl another fortress

have fallen, and that of Rudachuk is invested.—
The Russian Commander-in:Chief had marched, in
expectation of forcing the Turks to a general action.
The Monitearcontains a rontinuation ofthe siege
of Ciudad Rodrigo. Thlt fortress, it appears, was
to have been summoned on the 4etli last. We kuows
however, that it held oat so late as the 4th instant.

We have received New-York Papers and Letters
to the et at last. The former contain no intelligence
of any interest in addition to that which we gave
yesterday from the New-York Papers to the eoth.
in which it was stated that there would, probably,
be an extraordinary call of Congress. This report,
we now find, is contradicted in a letter of the gOth,
from whit 6 the following is an extract:—

New. York, Jose 20.

Frees letters received this day from the seat of Govern-
ment, I am enabled to .sore you, that it has been deter-
mined not to call Congress together testa the regular period
of its meeting. What mosmares will thee be adopted with
respect to Eraser, reinaisis• to be sews bat it is geserally
hoped t►at the Presidest will, in the mean time, wars oar
citizen. against all Minn:mese with that enuotry. by Pro-
claniaiian. With respect toGeeat Britain, we bevel's/dash'
that souse accommirdetiove will take place before the expira-
tion of the period of intercourse limited in t►e late Act of
Congress.

By au Official Notice, which the Spanish Coasul
at Baltimore has published in the American Papers,
it appears that the districts of Mainmaybo and
Coro, in the Province of Venezuela, have not con-
curred with ►he Caraccas in the Declaration of In-
dependence.

' Private accounts from the Texel state, that the
Comosauder of our squadron had lately sent in •
Flag of Truce to obtain the release of a livhing-boat
which had hero captured by the enemy. King
Louts replied, through the Commander of the
Dutch squadron, of that the boat having gut into
the baud. of the French, it was isopeesible for him
to order her to be restored ; but he promised that
upon her coming to be sold by auctioo, he would
himself buy her in, sod send her back; or, if that
could not be done, to purchase and send back •
boat as nearly rambling her as could be pro-
cured."--The Dutch Admiral added, that • report
had reached him, that 111.41111041. had been defeated
with great loss. on the frontiers of Portugal, by
Lord Watmaceott. This report agrees with one
also received from another quarter of the Conti-
, nun : but it is necessary to observe, that the state-
ment is not coollraied by any official adrift..
The last dispatches which arrived from France. re-
lative to the proposed Exchange of Prisoners, and
which were brought by a 31e-swage, on Saturday
seunight, contaiueel, it is said, instead of the ex-
pected definitive arraiigment, a new proposal, which
is understood to be, that all the Spanish and
guese Captives should be seut to this country, in-
stead of befog transported by France to then own.
The effect of tine alteratioe would be, that they
would be received her.: in a state of beggary, and
must be fed, clothed, and supported at the ex-
pense of Great Britain. Ministers have had several
meetings aim this subject; and it is asserted, time
from motives of humanity they would not object to
this new requisition. if they could suppose it to be
the last ; but they appreheud Boviaemere will rise
in his demands in proportion to their condescension
to his wishes, and that he has 110 serious design of
co gto an ultimatum on the business. It has
been supposed. from the delay. that Mr. Mantel,-
ate has been employed, during his residence is
France, on some negot when unconnected with the
avowed object of his Mission : but for this supped&
time there is no foundation.

A Requisition to the Sheriff of the county of

jenity is Council for a Charter of hicorporatien. in
order to establish a new Theatre—that they cannut
advise His Majesty to.yield to smhapplicationsbe-
cause it would put the parties upon grou oda ofgieat-
er advantagei than thoseattached to the existing Pa-
teutp, which would b. unjust to the interests secured
under those Patents; and as to the suggestion of
resorting for such • purpose to the authority of
what is called the Dormaot Patent, they are of
opinion that that idea cannot be carried into effect,
because, for reasons which they state. that patent
has become invalid. As to the expediency or not of
a third theatre. to meet the increased population of
the metropolis. the Privy Counil leave that point
altogether to his Majesty's wisdom to decide. The
result of this repot t, upon the whole, is. that if a
Dew additional theatre is required, it most be un-
der the authority of a new grant from the Crow ri, and
that too of no greater extent of powers than those
of the intents of the theatres of Covent Garden and
Diary-lane.
