DBAtt COUNTRYMEN !
Atter nineteen years ofabFence and suffering, I have received with
heintfelt joy your unanimous invitation to come amongst you. lam
now arrived, and, I trust, under Divine Providence. that I shall be
the weans of restoring you t.) your ancient independence and prosperity.
This is my stile object, and 1 have the satisfaction to assure you, that it
is equally the object of the Allied Powers. It is in particular the wish
of the Prince Regent of the United Elipnriom of Great Britain and Ire-
land and of his Government. Of tlos you w:11 be convinced, by the
unanimous assistance which that powerful country is immedrately going
to give you, and which, I trust, lay the foundation of those old
and intimate ties of friendship and alliance which hive so long made
,thi happiness of both States.' lam come, disposed and determined to
forgive and forget every thing that has passed. We have all but one
common object, which is to beat the wounds of our native country, and
to restore it to i s rank and splendor.r amongst nations. The revival of
trade and commerce will, I trust, bC the inimedi.de consequence of my
return. All party spirit must be for ever banished from amongst us.

sert and secure your independence, and to promote your happine-s and
welfare. j<lv eldest son, who, under. the immortal Lord Welling on,
has proved himself not unworthy of the fame of his ancestors, is on his
way ta join me : unite, therefore, dear countrymen, with heart and soul
with use, and our country will flourish again; as in the days of
old, and we ,hall transmit unimpaired to our posterity the blessings we
have received from our ancestors.

There are now daily arrivals from Holland. Two schuyts
arrived yesterday, which left Scheveling on Thursday after-
noon. They have brought the information of Helvoetsluys
and the Brill -being in possession of the Patriots. The for-
mer had a Prussian garrison, These schuyts have also
brought a report of Flushing being in the possession of the
Dutch. We shall be glad to find this true; but no such in-
telligence has reached ou. Government. It is certain, how-
ever, that General NIOLITOR. evacuated Utrecht on Sun-
day evening, having first withdrawn his outposts ftom Nieu
ver Slurs. These troops retreated in the direction of
Gorcum. On Nionday, a foraging party of about 600
French appeared at Weesp ; they were shortly driven out
of the town, and retreated to Naarden, at which place the.
main body was stationed. The same day General &yen ER
(SOll of the celebrated General of that name) arrived at
Utrecht, with 1500 men; and in the course of the evening
Prince NAIITSCHKIN reached that place with 2000 Rus-
sians, consisting of infantry and cavalry.
Certain in;ellikenec had 'cached the Hague, on Tuesday,
that 19,001+ of the Allies had reached the Yssel. They had
taken Zutphen by storm, wiih as little loss as possible to the
inhabitants. Deventer was their next object of attack.
