LONDON, DECEMBER U, ISoz.

THIS morning we received the Illouiteur of the
7th instant.
The. only intelligence it brings, is contained in
a Letter from the Hague, which gives the details of
a dispute which has arisen between the Municipa-
lity of Amsterdam and the Batarian Government,
respecting the proposed levying of an extraordinary
Contribution upon the Inhabitants of that City:
The Government has refused to accede to the de-
mand made by the Municipality, for a modification
of the Law ; and thtis the dispute at present rests ;
but from the disposition of the Inhabitants of Am..
sterdam, it does not appedithat. the proposed Con-
tribution' can be levied in that City without consi.:.
derable difficulty.
