ESC.II'E OF JEROME BONAPARTE.

i M. Jerome Bonaparte and his fair spouse have at
Iragth taken their departure for France. The mode
_ they adopted to lull curisotty, and obtain a sufficient
start befbre the news coned reach any Engli►h vessel
on the coast, refleets some credit on the ingenuity of
the inventor ; and if Jerome be the man, give him a
small title to the station of Imperial I ligh Admiral of
the French Navy. It appears that sincehis return from
theEastward,hehad fitted up in a very handsome style
theelegant seatof Mrs.,Dulany, about two miles from
the city, which, it was given our, he meant to make
his permanent residence, at least during the war be-
tween Great Britain and France. His absence from

pthe streets or parties in the city, for two or three days
at a time,"of cource no longer excited suspicion.
Matters being thus arranged, he attended the thea-
tre on Thursday night last with his Lady, and
when the play WAS over, they repaired on board
t • a packet at one of the wharfs, which had been
engaged for the purpose, and proceeded down to
North Point, where, with one or two of her re-
lations who acciinpany them to France, they were
put en hoard the fast sailing schooner Cordetiv,

FRENCH TYRANNY IN HOLLAND.
—non—
A gentleman, wh s has just arrived in town from
Holland, by way of Enitelen, has favoured us with
the following particulars of the French tyranny in
that wretched country. Not only in every seaport,
but in every municipality of the Ilatavinn republic,
arc French Police agents sent from Paris, by the
Minister Fouctie. Their nominal mission and ob-
jeds are to assist the French Custom House officers
in Holland, to find out the purchasers of English
good:, to provent their inrrodnetion into Holland,
and to inspect all foreign travellers who visit that
republic. They have, however, already extended
their authority so far every where, as to make
nightly domiciliary visits, under pretence of search.
ing for contraband merchandise, without giving
any previous notice to the Batavian magistrates, and
carry into Dutch gaols, or send into French leastile,
several Batavian citizens, whom they sti.peet to be
smugglers, sir :tiptoe to be attached to Great Britain.
\Viten asked by the Bann/Liu magistrates, as to the
cause of such tyranny, they give no other reason than
that his regicide Excellency Foue HE is the only
person to whom they are to render any accounts for
their actions." These men are of the vilest class of
all vile French spies, base and brutal in the extreme,
boasting with a surprising impudence of the nume-
rous and infamous crimes which they have commit-
ted since the revolution, to entitle them to the con-
fidence, of FOVC 'IE. They are, however, as well
as their master, easily to be corrupted by money,
though, at the same time, little dependence can be
had upon their bought protection, because many of
them have already hardly put the bribes into their
pockets with one hand, before they dragged to a nei-
son their victims with the other. At Amsterdam,
Rotterdam, and in all other places, not •a house or
magazine belonging to a Bi itish subjed, or a Dutch-
man of British extraction, has escaped their visits,
and the seizut e of their ledgers and correspondence,
which they have forwarded to Paris. Until the
Minister of Police there sends them new orders, the
owners of these papers are in a state of arrest,
which, according to the French liberticide phraseo-
logy, means, that they are under the guard of
French ,eints d'arraer, in their own houses, whom
they are obliged to pay, to avoid going to the com-
mon gaol. As the polite spies share this profit with
die hen, e.rrineg, they take care to keep them em-
ployed as lon and as often as possible. Even
!dutchmen married to English ladies, or having dis-
tant relations in England, are treated in the same
manner with subjects of Groat Several of
those who, acem ding to the choice of their fellow-
citizens, occupied !Races in the municipalities or in
the legislative corps, have been obliged to give in
thew resignation ; hut, no sooner had they resigned,
than they experienced the same oppressions and Item-
thins with their proscribed re intrymen.
In all the Large cities and principal towns of Hol-
land, the commanders • r governors are French
Officers, and command. u t reihre, even the Remains
troops in the garrisons. If the French police spies
and custom-house officers meet w: illy opposition,
or tripe& any resistance to their ty. alloy, they ad-
dress themselves to these commanders. and governors
who never refuse to potted them, and reinforce
their outrages agai st liberty and property, with the
support or French bayonets. I'o encourage these
their worth.q accomplices to be so much the more
vigilant in their epieriaL•e, BONA r ARTZ and
Forcers have permitted thews to tar all travel.
lers and tr .ders under contribution for sign-
ing their passes or permits. The price of their
signatures is fixed ; but any person who adheres to
it, and does net give several times mnre, will repent
of his ill-timed ceconomy, as, even when he thinks
that he has fulfilled every thing pr.:straws: by the
Corsican's regulations, these spies, under pretence of
having obtaieed some new denunciation against
him, still stop him, if not arrest him, until he has
opened his purse ; and, with the loss of money, he
has to regret the loss of time. The Dutch landlords
take, however, care to inform their customers of
this dentate of their French brothers, as they call
these petty and tyrannical marauders. these
passes or permits are to be shewn at every munici-
pality on the road, wlre.e the signatures of these re-
siding French spies must be purchased, travelling
in Holland, at present, is botheexpensive and trou-
blesome. The gentleman, who related to us the
above, came from Amsterdam to leernmerna, Groe-
ningen, and Delfzyl, where he crossed the river
Ems to Embden. He assures us, that Omagh pro-
s Lied with a legal and neutral pass, he was obliged
to submit to the extortion of five ducats by the
French police spies only on this short journey. In
the Custom-house at Delray!, was posted up a regu-
lation, printed in French and Dutch, cmaaining ten
articles, of which the gentleman only remembers
the following B—'4 Every ship that has not a register,
with a regular account of its cargo. verified by a
French commercial agent, is not permitted to sail ;
and every ship entering the harbours of the Batavian
Republic, must be provided with similar registers,
and certificates, signed by French commercial, or
police agents, in the port from which it sailed,
otherwise it is regarded as reining from an enemy's
port, and cannot unload until the cargo has been vi-
saed by French Custom-house Officers. Ail passen-
gers on board these vessels, must, before they em-
bark or land, exhibit their passes, .vith similar sig-
natures, otherwise they are regarded as sus-
pected, and are to remain in custody until the
French minister at the Hague has given his opinion
of the validity of the passes they have produced.
All ships, either Batavian or neutral, loaded with
butter, cheese, or other provi'ions, must sheer a
permission from the French minister at the Hague,
and from the French commercial agent in the port
where the cargo has been taken in. All ships not
provided with such documents are su'ajeded to de-
tention, sequestration, or confiscation, as the gra-
vity of the case requires. Captains of merchant-
men who violate these regulations, or who attempt
to smuggle, in or out, goods or passengers, are to
be tried immediately by French military
