-'We bare Dutch Papers, further extracts from
the French, and articles from Frankfort Gazettes,
all of whia will be found under their usual beads.
General lit.uctiEn's Proclamations are the chiof
things deserving of notice.

Itwas reported just before this Paper was put to
press, that an Officer hittl arrived with accounts of
an action which had taken place before BrecLas, in,
which the French had suffered considerably, with
but little loss to the Allies. - .

We nave, since writing the above, receive„ the
following :

JAN. sebnyt bas this clay
arrived from_Scheveling ; by her passengers we
learn, that a most severe action has been fought
before Breda, between BULoW and the French,
iu whiebthe latter have b4-T.n. defeated. A-Ga-
iette Extraordinary was to have been published
at the Hague, at 6 o'clock on Wednesday night."

OMninin bas been done this morning at 20 per
cent. prem.
On Saturday a Cabinet Coglncil was bad at
Lord BATHURST'SOfike.

A private letter from Holland of the llth says,
"The frost has set in' intensely these two days.
The minor fortresses will of course be assaulted
immediately. The garrison of Gorcum sonic-
;imes the 00 the Prugc;,tne, :trig on Outuitly matte
all attempt to destroy the inOrtar batteries, by
cannonade of three hours. From the batteries
they turned on the gun-boats; which are moored
down the river. The firing had no other effect
than builiog the boats once or twice, killing a
peasant on shore, and wounding A few men."
Cleves; as well as Nimeguen, was evacuated by
the French, on the of sth instant. The
garrison of both those places amounting to about
1500, retired upon Grave and Weel.
On the 9th instant, the whole corps of General
BuLow, calculated at about 49,000 Men,. passed
through Breda on their waiy southward, and took
up a position at Groot-Zander', Klein-Limdert,
Rysbergen, and the surrounding places. They
were to proceed onward the following day, hav-
ing received a fortnight-'s provisions.
Lord CASTLEREAGH set off for the head-quar-
ters on Friday evening. His Lady and her suite
were present at the reception of. the Princesses of
OLIANBE, And are still at the Hague.
Sir Tgomas GRAHAM, according to sonde Dutch
letters, has reduced Batz, the only fortress that
still held out in South Beveland.

The Allies, upon entering Franche Cotnpte,
issued an order, that out of respect to the me-
mory of General Picue•uu, the town of Arhois,
which gave him birth, should be freed from all
military occupation or requisitions. _
The state of ignorance in which the people of
Paris and of France generally are kept. of passing
events, is said to be most astonishing, and not
less so the means by which it is accomplished.---
The posts are stopped to all countries and places
occupied by the Allies, and this obstruction is
almost the only means that are afforded of know-
ing their progress. No scruple, as we hare long
known, is made of opening and detaining pri-
vate letters. The System of police, particularly
among servants, who are made spies over the
families in which they are employed, is carried
to a state of mechanical perfection, and the
"budgets or the-fruits of espionage are regularly
conveyed to the office of the Minister of Police.
A Gentleman, who was a friend of the Minister
of Police, on one occasion in a select poly, had
been guilty of ungarded expressions; it; was sent
for, and warned' by the Minister,- whq, to pro-
duce the greater effect upon the person accused,
quoted the sacred words—" When two or three
are gathered together I am in the midst ofvou,'" as
literally applicable to himself. The spies are not,
_however, confined to servants, but many of the bet-
ter orders are employed in this disgraceful capacity.
The inhabitants of -Paris were not, however,
so ignorant respecting the general state of affairs
in Holland as •might be imagined, owing to the
post, by some accident, 'not having been stopped
until the 6th of December mine -days after the
French had quitted the Hague. Of the operations
of the Allies they were kept in ignorance as much
as possible, but events,- .the success`of which has
created ,bursts of joy that have echoed through
Europe, could not fail to be heard even in Paris,
and to find many sympathising hearts, that feared
est their. counte.nauces.should betray their felicity.
