SOL&M QUXS DICEItI !A,L.SUM AUDIAT ?

LONDON,

FRIDAY,' FrIIRDARY I, 1805•

LAST night we received the Paris Porn to the
13(1, and Mach Pagers to the 29'h ult. They
contain a great variety of intelligence, and some of
it of more importance. than any which we have re.,
ceived for some time past. The most interesting
article, however, is the Speech of M. VAte His.
sEL.r, a Member of the Dutch Legislative Body,
upon the demand of the State Dirediory for a new
Contribution upon Capital. This Speech, which
we have extraCted at length, describes, in. the
most animated language, the state of unexampled
misery to which Holland is reduced ; the distraCied
and unsettled state of her Government, the total
stagnation of all Trade, both foreign and internal,
the profuseness of the public expenditure, increasing
in proportion to the diminution of the public se.
sources, the daily increase of taxes, already enor.
mous beyond all precedent, not only upon Income,
but upon Capitals the disorganized state of the' rmy
and Navy, which are represented as being in a state
of Insurrection, are all depined in the mast glowing
colours. lint M. VAN HASSE I.T is not satisfied
with enumerating all the calamities of his Coun.
try—he boldly points out the cause of them ; and,
we believe that every man, both in and out of
Holland, will agree with him, in ascribing them
to the fatal connexion which has, for the last nine
years, subsisted between that unfortunate Country
and France.

Whether this Speech is m.,,rely the result of pa.
triotic feeling driven todespair by an uninterrupted
series of insults and oppressions, or whether M. VAN
11A.161U,T has been enenuraged to deliver this
faloti of the State of Holland by that Power,
which, from its connexions. is most interested in
her fate, and from its situation is best enabled to
rescue her from,iter Tyrants, we cannot at present
tteeide. We are, however, strongly inclined to
adopt the latter supposition. The disposition which
the KING of Nowt". has lately manifested to resist
that systetn 'of aggression upon which France has
hitherto aned, leads us to hope that he will make
some attempt for
.the deilverance of Holland, or,
at 'least, to mitigate the intolerable slavery under
which she now groans.
The intelligence in the French Papers, whether
in the shape of, 44. Letters," or Reports," are all
of the frost flattering kind. The probability of a
Peace is more than once hinted at ; and it is posi.
Lively asserted that England and France have accept.
ed the Mediation of Prussia—The GA AND SR IGNOR
has suddenly changed the whole System of his Po.
!hies, cut off his Grand Vizier's head, and declared
himself openly in favour of France—A dispute has
,
taken place at Vienna between the English Envoy,
Sir A. PAGET, and the Austrian Minister, Count
Con ENTZEI, in which the former is stated to have
behaved with great intemperance the Islands
of Guadaloupe and Martinique are in the most
secure and flourishing state, having been amply sup.
'plied with provisions, and ammunition by two Fri.
Ste. tke. With respett to all these, reports,
we shall only say, in the words of the French Pa.
per from which ,they are taken,' that they steered ;re
heed-di the strongest confirmatiott.

it is also reported, that His Imperial Highness
josr rit is to ascend the Throne of Lombardy, and
that he is to be crowned by the Pope on his re..
turn, to his Dominions. In order to accompliith
this objea, BatyAPM 1 E himself, it it said, means
to visit Italy.
