The rumours which prevailed during the week,
of an extensive insurrection having broken out in
Tolland, were greatly exaggerated. The time is
not yet arrived when die ancient Batavian spirit will
revive, and start forth from the ruins of its country,
once more to redeem its independence. NArof
LEON':; policy has long since removed from the very
hearing of what passes in their native land, the
Dutch troops, whose numbers the Spani:,h war con-
sinws rapidly. Drained of the strength of its man-
it has been deprived of its national exist.

wrenched away by the tyrant's grasp, and who- can
oppose the execution of the conscription law, but
unarmed conscripts, aged men, and despairing but
helpless mothers ? By these alone, it now appears
a partial attempt at•re-bitance was made,iin BUONA-
FARM'S " good city of Amsterdam," of which the
following is the latest account that has been re-
ceived :

A vessel arrived on Friday, which sailed from
the Dutch coast on Monday night, with several
ps-
sengers who got on board by stealth. The master
states, that he was at Amsterdam on the preceding
Saturday, when the commotion took place. Some
Conscripts of the Jewish persuasion having revolted,
they were, after a considerable struggle, overpow-
ered by the troops that escorted :hem, and four of
them shot by way of example to the others. This
act of severity occasioned a numerous mob to assem-
ble, chiefly consisting of women, who pelted the
French officers and soldiers with stones and other
missiles. One Officer was severely wounded on the
head in the affray. The only act of outrage com-
mitted besides, was the cutting adrift some boats in
which Conscripts were put for the security of con-
veyance. A strong French force continued to pa-
rade the streets from Saturday, until the time our
informant left Amsterdam. No persons were suf-
fered to appear abroad, except upon urgent busi-
ness, or with the permission of the French.

Yesterday the Queen's Council assembled at
Windsor, to make their Report as to the state of MS
MAJESTY'S health. Rumour has been very busy.
for these two days, and states, that the expectation
given to his MAJESTY on Saturday last, has pro-
duced an impatience not the most favourable to.hio
re-establishment. -
We received yesterday morning Paris papers to
the 22d. Not a word of news in them from the
armies in the Peninsula.—The following are the
most pr..mineni articles in them :

The utmost vigilance is employed along the
Dutch coast, to prevent the landing or embarkation
of any persons from thence. A gentleman from
this country had been off the coast several days,
without being able to find an opportunity to get On
shore, although he had offered extravagant bribes to
the Dutch fishermen, to one in particular 200
ducats, to land him. These men grounded their
refusal on the certainty of their being put to death
by a very summary process in case of detection. So
suspicious and vigilant was the maritime police,
that domiciliary visits took place regularly every
night, in all the villages within a certain distance of
the coast; and if any fisherman or person usually
employed at the water-side was missing, a satisfac-
tory account of the cause of hisabsence was required
from the rest of the family, upon pain of imprison-
ment.

The following is an extract of a private letter
from Stockholm, dated the `..?lst inst. three days
later than the intelligence received from that capital.
by the last mail In ni Helgoland ; the transaction it
alludes to may lead to events of some importance :
" Information ha, just reached this place, that sotoe French'
privateeis have had the audacity to cut out and capture at Mat-
wik, four Swedish vessels, and carry them. away. This news
irritated almost every one ; and, to-morrow' or rat her .0 say
this very evening, a Messenger wa, ,i.i.tched by r ER:' ADOTTZ
to Carlserotta, with orders to Admiral Puke, immediately to
send out a frigate and two cutters, and make reprisals on every
French privateer or ship fitted out from Prussia for French an-
count. A war with Deurnark is considered as unavoidable;
and hostilities;° if nut already conimenced, will, 1 think, in a
few hours."

On Friday a preparatory interview was had be-
tween the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Lord HoL-
LAND, and Mr. PERcEvAL, at which it was deter-
mined to call a meeting of the Noblemen and Gen-
Cernen favourable to the cause of Portugal, to
raise a subscription in Westminster similar to that
which had been so liberally supported in the city of
London; the meeting is to be on Wednesday.
