W. now understand that it is not only at Rotter-
dam that the agents of the French Government have
detained the ships that were supposed to have on
board the produce of British colonies, or British
manutadures ; but the example of the French ma-
ritime agent at Rotterdam has been followed by a
!ike officer at Amsterdam. and for the like reasons.
The Rotterdam agent had cuntraaed with the Dutch
broken to permit the entrance of certain goods for a
certain pecuniary gratification; but on perceiving that
this trade was carried on to a fir greater extent
than he at first expesled, he allowed, or rather
caused his tenni with the brokers to be published,
and shortly atter pleaded, in excuse for the viola-
Lion of his bargain, that the terms had reached the
ears of his Government, and that he had received
superior orders not to abide by them. N ith a sym-
pathy .f conscience and of char:toffee not to be won-,
di-red at, the agent at A,• sterdam avowed the time
int ntions, and adopted the same means of giving
them circa. lie also has sent French troops on
board such ships as have lately arrived, and he holds
out similar threats of confiscating the cargoes, un-
less his terms are immediately complied with. The
Merchants and Brokers at Amsterdam have had
two meetings on the subj.& ; but when the last ac-
counts were dispatched, they had not come to any
final resolution.

On Wednesday came into Carlisle, from Litch-
field, and on tw succeeding morning couched
thence, tor Ayr, 226 of the sth Regiment of the
Royal Army of Reserve, intended to be incorpo-
rAced with the 2.1 Battali.m of the 21st Regiment of
the line. They are, in general, fine looking young
fellows.

Tbursdar the ballot commenced in the vestry of
the church of 3t. Bartholomew the Great, for the
eleOion of an Afternoon Leaurer, in the room of
the Rev. Mr. W•rasos, resigned. The glasses were
finally closed at four o'clock, when the numbers
