FRENCH AND 'DUTCH OFFICERS.

GLOUCESTER,.Nov. Weduesday last
several French mid Dutch. Officers, prisoners of
wax, passed through this city, on their. route to
MontgomeryShite. On the day preceding,- at
NewpOrt, one of the latter, Who understood the
English language, accidentally took up a paper,
containing the account of the emancipation of
Holland,- intelligence which he lost no time in
communicating to his countrymen, and 'which
raised in their breasts feelings of thetriost heart-
felt satisfaction. The COASquetice WAS a; violent
quarrel between theta ,antl their French compa-
;lions, in which they proceeded to blows, but the
dispute fortunately ended without any serious in-
jury being committed. Mill:: at the Ham, in
this city, Dutchmen cut off the eagles, the
insignia of France, from the different parts if
their unitorm,• in testimony of their hatred of the
yoke, which had so long -oppressed then! ;• and
whilst in this place, as well as during the remain-
der of their-route, they kept themselves entirely
aloof from their late allies.
