ALKMAAR, DEc. continfte to recruit
here 7itb success, for_the larniy of his Royal
'Highness the Prince Sovereign: The attachment
'of the Well-disposed iner.2ases daily. TheCorn-
mandant,, De Jonge; is taken;; 'the most effuctual
mesituk-es fur the security and defence of the
Ilehlef,-so that we are perfettlY tranquil O 1 that
side. National Guards do duty with ieal ;
and the fortr6s of the Helder will .soon bt invest-
ed in such.a way, that all its-communications will
be cut off. Notwithstanding the severity and vi-
gilance of• Admiral Verhnel„ desertion daily takes
place ; so that he must soon be insulated with
•tnily a few French officers, and be compelled to
'surrender at discretion: His conduct has made
.him the object of universal hatred. He can no
longer attempt to carry off the public Chests, be-
cause the recruiting depot and the head-quarteri
are at Alkmaar with officers whose fidelity -and
zeal afford full security. Some people may be
_surprised at the small success of recruiting in this
'quarter; but the North Hollanders are more at-.
tached to the sea service. Among the populace,.
And. the lower classes of society especially, there
reigns a decided aversion to the French. nation,
and an eager desire to contribute in expelling
them from our territory. .

Rengelis,,who had taken on board his vessel, the
Two Brothers, at Flushing, tnattrasses, and other
hospital stores, for the French at Antwerp, re-
solved, after sailing, to take at:totter course, and
has brought in his vessel here, to present the
Prince Soirereigri with the cargo.

LEYDEN, DEC. 22.---Yesterday was to our city
a day ot- true ji)y and gladness, as we had the sa-
tis taerion of possessing within our ivalls our be-
loved Sovereign the Prince of the Ngthcrlands, ac-
companied by his eldest son, who has already
given so many proofs in Spain of his being a true
descendant of the heroes of the illustrious House
.Of Orange. Sume days before, 'the Magistrates
had communicated notice to the inhabitants of
this approaching event, by means of which all the
necessary preparations were made for its celebra-
tion, and for the prevention of all disorder and
coufusion ; and these measures were crowned with
the desired success.

The following triumphal arches were erected :
;one outside the white gate, where his Royal
Highness was to bepresented with the keys ofthe
cry ; one at the north end, on one side of
vas insyribed GuliehnO -Frederica dollandiat
*Prinicpi," and On the other, "- Magistratus et ci-
vitas Leydensis :" a third, formed by two fine
pillars of the Tuscan order, 'was placed in the
Broad-street, On one side of ‘4ich was exhibited
the ancient Dutch emblem of the.lion 'grasping a
sworcl, with the motto " resnrrexit ;" and on the
other a martial trophy, with flags and military
-weapons Of all kinds, with (he inscription " pax
quwritur atmis.'"f here was a fourth arch erect-
ed near the Lady's Walk.
In front of the Council-house, three large tri-
umphal arches were erected, formed of pillars of
the lonic order, and connected together by gip.-
lands, the whole forming a canopy of 18 feet.—
On the side of the middle arch were exhibited, the
arms of his Royal Highness, with the,motto "je
maintiendrai," the whole encircled by the inscrip-
tion "Spes fidissinra Belis." On the side of one
of the principal bridges, there was erected- an-
other arch, with the inscription, on one side, of
" Tandem bona cause triumphat,"and on the other

" 13ulgiam renatum." •
On the morning of the 21st, the arrival of the
joyful day was ainvounced by a salute of cannon
from the walls, the ringing of bells, and the tvav-
ing of flags from all the towers and public build-
ings. At 9 o'clock a guard of' lidnour, on horse-
back, composed of the principal citizens, equipped
at their own expellee, at the.head of whom were
Me-asts. Dtht farg Vx- x 1 qvithrt
out to Dyl, for the purpose of there waiting for
his Royal Highness, and escorting his entrance.
The armed burgher guard and the students of the
University, who had formed a guard of honour,
were stationed at appropriate places, A commit-
tee of the Magistracy, and also of the Students of
the different faculties, took post at the triumphal
outside the White-bate, there to wait the
arrival of the Prince General Baron Sweerts de
Landas, with his Aides-de-camp, was at the same
station.

The Commissaries-General of the Dis-
trict awaited his Royal Highness tat the bounda-

rics of the district.

in half an hour a salute of twenty-one 'guns
made known the approach of the Prince, who,
with the Hereditary Prince, alighted from his car,
riage t the White Gate. There Mr. Kluit deli-
vered to him the keys of the city, with an appro-
priate address, to which his Highness graciously
rcpiied. The P;ince then stepped into an open

the Heads of the Tribunals, to the &flatus' Aea-
dentiens, to the Clergy of the different professions,
to the President of the Literary Society, to the
Cdthrnandants and Officets Of the Burgher Guard
And Guard of Honour, &c. all of whom were re-
ceived with that graciousness which distinguishes
his Royal Highness.

Whenever his Royal Highness, ot• the Here-
ditary Prince, made their appearance, the air ‘srit
tent with acclamations, and re-echoed the sincer-
est wishes for the Person and house of the Pri►►ce,
to whose great ancestors this city was indebted for
its deliverance from the Spanish yoke, and for the
establishment of its distinguished schools.
His Royal Highness-then repaired.with his re-
tinue to the spot, where, on the 12th of January,
1807, this city suffered so severely by the blowi
up of a ship laden with gunpowder; and on his
alighting, he was received with the most mark-
ed demonstrations of honour, attachment, and
affection'. •

On his return to the Council-house, his Ma-
jesty partook bf an entertainment, which was
served up in the Council7hall, and during which,
the national airs of William of Nassau, al-14i God
save the King, were played, • accompanied with
toasts expressive of the wishe's of the heart. At
seven o'clock his Majesty returned to his resi-
dence, and the day was concluded by a 6 ner.al il-
lumination. In short, the expressions of the po-
pular joy on this occasion might be compared to
those of an united family on the return of a be-
loved father 'who had bean long absent.
