In the year 1804, Captain Hay Laurens, of the
Wand of Hooge, near Husum, had the good for-
tune to convey Louis XVIII. on board his ship
from sonte port in the Baltic to Rig.. The Itisig
on his arrival at Riga presented him with a watch,
• and promi'ed that if lie should hear in the sequel
that the King had returned to his kingdom, mid
would then apply to him, he should receives' re-
Wsrd for the service he had performed. The King
gave him for this purpose a Certificate in his owu
liend-writing, and sealed with has own seal.—
Laurens had at that time changed his course on the
King's secant, and put into Riga. whith was not
his destination, and ns he had suffered very much
during the war, lie thought he might claim the pro-
mised favour of the King of
,France. The Danish
Ambassador at Paris was, therefore, requested to
bring this circumstance to the recollection of the
King, who has in consequence sent to Captain
Laurens 1,200 francs. and the Order of the Lily.
Rear-Admiral Paul Lovelier,' has presented to the
Royal Secret Archives a collection of the Reports
of his grandfather, General' P. Lorena., to

paigns in Pomerania in the first twenty years of the

for the history of those times and of that King.

A recent arrival from India has brought us ad-
vices to the tith April. The I.)sitclo are at their
old work in the Indian Archipelago. They have
closed all the Eastern puts, obliged all the native

They art taking possession of all the ports iu

system of orbits-41y exclusion they did before the
last century, the barbarities of which, particu-
larly those practised at A inhooymi, can never

first tortured and then murdered the English,
thereby engrossing the whole trade of the i•lariol.
and also that or Banda. The same 'hostility nod
determination to destroy all British trade iu that
quarter is now open mid avowed. They do all iu t ;for
power to lower and degrade the British name, to
arrest British merchants residing at Batavia, and,
in short, to harass and oppress them wlwrever they
present themselves. Three are, however, only the
results of their jealousy of British trade. Ilumanity

their oppression and injustice towards the natives.
These, in the Moluccas, and also in some parts of

redressing their wrongs, the Dutch are butcher-
ing them by thousands. We are ern udvo..
