The accounts which were yesterday received from
Holland mention, that an important change is .
about take place with respect to the Government of
that country;--a change which we know has been
for some time anticipated in Holland, with consider-
able apprehension, viz. the annexation of the United
Provinces to France. Whatever relnaance the
Dutch might at first feel to give up their Re-rublican
form of Government, and to be- placed under the
sway'of a King, and that King a foreigner, vet .the
mild and inotfensive.condua of Louts. BuoNapaterB
In some degree reconciled them to their fate. He
could not refuse obedience to his brother's Orders for
imposing the. most arbitrary restriaions upon the
trade of Holland, but at the same time he eagerly.
seized every Opportranity of granting his snbjeas, a
temporary relief. This Condit& frequently exposed
him to the reproaches of BuoNaratrn, and two
years ago it was- generally belie‘ed in Holland,
that Louts BUONAPARTE was to, be provided with
another Kingdom, and that Mt/RAT was to succeed
him on.the Throne of Holland. It is now confi7
dently stated, that the United Provinces are to be.
declared an integral part of France, and thit Louts
is to have a new Kingdom made for him out of the
wrecks of the Austrian Empire. The same Letters
state, that BUONAPARTE has issued another Decree,
excluding from the Ports of France and Holland all
American 'Ships that have been searched by British
Cruizers, and ordering all American property in
France to be placed in a state of sequestration.
The Icilowing particulars are given in a Letter,
'dated Rotterdam, With July, received by an eminent
mercantile house -:

" We are assured ,our recent decree of 3oth March must
be repealed. No Americans are in future.to bs: admitted into
France, or the ports of hen Allies, so long as England perse-
veres in her pr,tended right of search. This 'fad is known to
us exclusively at this moment; but to-morrow it will obtain
publicity. American goods already arrived will be seques-
trated. What confusion must not this create I Vie were in-
formed .rt this Last night only.t

We annex the Articles of a Prohibicay Decrtr,

witiO bpn been just issued :

DECREE PROHIBITING '1 HE ADMISSION OF
COLONIAL PRODUCE.

•• An Imperial ManJate, dated july 17, :35•9, Pas ec C

E 1 c Pecreef f the 4th rune last, which had placed c ur rela.
tions with Holland on' the footing on which they st, od be-
fore the Decree of Sept. 16, 18o8,rthe tenor of 'which is as
follows •

" Palace of St. Cloud, Sept. 16, OA.

_Napoleon, Emperor of the French, King of Italy,'and Pro..
tenor of the Confederation of the Rhine, having received the
Report of our Minister of Finance, and consulted out Council
of State, we have decreed, and do decree what follows :
" Art. I: The admission into France of all kinds of colo-
nial produce, coming from Holland.and Spain, is prohibited,
until it be otherwise ordered.

" 11. All vessels laden with such produce, that shall en-
ter the Elbe, the Weser, and the Yade, shall be seiied and
confiscatecL

" II I. The present Decree does not interfere with that of
the gth of lune, in which we have reserved to ourselves the
power of allowing the introdukion of raw cottons, according
to circumstances.

" IV: Our Minister of Finance is charged to provide foi
the execution of the present. Decree. .
(Signed) " NAPOLEON."

The same charge is repeatedly urged by the Op-
position Writers' Against Mr. CANNING and his
friends, that was direeted against the immortal PITT
in the beginning of his'.political career, and which
was indeed levelled against his father, when the
latter began to distinguish himself 'in the House of
Commons. .This charge imputes to Mr. CANNING
the offence of youth, and his political associates are
Styled " the young sages of his school." It is in
vain to observe, that. Mr. CANNING and his friends
may reasonably expect_ to mend every day in this re-,
speet, and•therefore we shall not venture to urge that
plea in their favour ; but surely it is very impolitic
in the Opposition Writers to be repeating this accu-
sation against ".the young Sages of Mr. CANNING'S
School," since the nation has foundlhat "the Sages"
of the'Old School, though they pretended t 6 possess
alb the talents in the country, were so totally devoid
of political knowledge, 'that they threatened ruin
.to the nation, if they had been suffered to remain in
the post for
.which they were so utterly destitute of
'abilities. But it seems that- Mr..CANNING i 5 to be
ridiculed because he manifested some respect for
the religious opinions of the Spaniards, and " our
Lady of the PILAR" is treated' with contempt and
mockery. We are glad to find; However; that Mr.
CANNING'S chief faults in the opinion of opposition,
are his youth and his regard for religion. -We in-
dulge the hope that be will in due time get rid of the
for Mer charge; but as to the latter, we trust that
he will neyer attempt to remove it, and that if it be
an error, lie will most obstinately retain it to the
end of his life:

Some English Ladies, who had been detained

ing, and it is believed that
.BUONAPARTL+ has issued
a Pecree for the release of fettiale prisOners, and of
all children not above t welve years of age. •
The Escort gun-brig had a narrow escape whilst
on her last cruise. Fonrgtia-brigs and a cutter 'pur-
sued her off Cape Frehel, and having ,the advantage
of the wind, would inevitably have come up with
her if they had persisted in the chace, from which
They were deterred by a matxmovre of Lieutenant
CROSB'IE, her Commander, who, . finding escape
otherwise. impossible, and, knowing resistance to so
superior a force vv'ouid be of- no avail, be began to
make signals, and fired a bow grinps if to some
ships in the offing; on perceiving this, the French-
men tacked, and made all sail off.

THE THEATRE.—The elegant and interesting Ro-
mance of The hunter of the Alps, from the author
of the popular drama of The Fouhdling of the Fo-
rest, was revived last night, at the Haymarket The-
atre, with great beauty. in the scenery, Bzc„ and was
very well received. It. was follow:ed by the melo-
drame of Tekeli, condensed into. two ads. The al-
jerations have been so judiciously effeded, that the
pike loses none of its otiginal intere,t.. This pierce
is also brought forward„ in a style of ••pleudour that
does credit to the Managers. The concluding drama
was Killing no Murder, which, by its ludicrous
qualities, afforded the audience an arnp!e compensa-
tion for the terrif4,interest which the torrui;r pieces
had excited.

Mr. HARRIS, of C.Syent Garden Theatre, accord-
.
ing 10. report, has transferred his property in that
Theatre to his von, who lias already i)::d some expe-
rience in the-management„of it. .We hope the for-
Frier will enjoy many years of retirement and leisure,
att. r so long a period of Id hourand solicitude in the
arduous and complicated concerns at a Theatre.

It was.staied that CATALA'NI had succeeded in
getting, ANFossI appointed Double-bass Player at
Covent-garden Theatre, instead of WOODHAM, who
Was to retain his salary. It now said that she
.ha,, been equally, successful in getting her brother
appointed Principal. Oboe, instead 9: Mr. W. PARKE.
:We cannot bring ourselves to believe that if. CATA-
LANI could have made. Such wtotiipis the Managers
"Would have listened to them. It would be easy to
make a pecuniary requital to 'the Ps:iformers who
are thus said to have been displaced ; but what com-
pensation \could be offered to their feelings for being
Obliged to give way to obtrusive Aliens ? The whole
story must be founded In nialice, tbr the engagement
of CATALAN' at ovent-garden'Thentre has excited
general. disgust, and it Would, be impolitic Indeed
to irritate the Public siill,more on thiS-subjeCt.
