THE DUTCH MAIL.

gAGUE, AUG. 4.

THE Sittings of the Batavian Legislative Body
re.commenced yesterday, under the ?residence of
Citizen J. J. SCHRYVER. They will be very in.
teresting. Two principal objects have induced the
Direttory to call this extraordinary meeting of tile
Legislative Body at this time. It is intended to
propose to fix an Indemnity for the Proprietors of
Adions (or Shares of Stock) of the late East India
Company ; and to pass a General Amnesty for Po..
liticalOffences committed during' the troubles in this
Republic. These two points have appeared, to the
Executive Government to merit a prompt decision,
without waiting the ordinary session of the Legis.
lative Body, which would not have taken place
till the isth of O&oher.

The Amnesty had been before proposed by the
Direetory in the spring of the present year,, but the
proposition was rejected as premature, and perhaps
because it appeared that certain express exceptions
would be necessary. The Di reaory,in its Message to.
the Legislative Body on this subjr, states that the
Legislative Body having rejeCte,d the proposition for.
a General Amnesty made on the 28-11 of May, on the
ground that. it would be necessary to , wait the com-
plete fulfilment of tie Treaty of Amiens ; the Di-
reClory, though .still of the same opinion with re_
spec} to the propriety of
.the measure at the former
period, conceives that the Legislative Body can
now no longer make any difficulty to consent
to the Amnesty proposed, since all the stipulations
made at the General Peace have been completely
fulfilled, .and the ratifications exchanged: between
the different Contratling Powers ;‘ the BaraVian Re-
, public And its Government are acknowledged by all
the ..Powers of Europe, and diplomatic relations
established with it ; the Indemnities of the Pa. !Die e '
of NASSAU are fixed and accepted. by that Prince,
who has renounced all the Dignities formerly
possessed by his-House in this Republic. The Direc-
tory, therefore, proposes again to decree an Amnesty,
pardon and oblivion of all offences resulting Crum a
difference of political opinions,
_and committed' by
whatever party, as well 'by those who dir&ing or
after the Revolution of 1795, have left their coun-
try, and who by virtue of the Constitutional. Ael,
have been excluded from the benefit of the Amnesty
of the zsth March rBor, as by • those who have
served the Enemy by sea or land against this Re.
public, or in any political capacity. .All sentences
pronounced, and all "proceedings pending in conse.
(pence of such Offences; to be annulled and rendered
void. FrOm thii Amnesty, however, shall be.ex.
cepted those. persons, and those only, who in the
Republic, or its Colonies, have cowardly surrendered
-to the:Enemy-, Ships or Fleets, Forts or .Towns.,
The Legislative Body yesterday referred the ex-
aminatiun of this Proposal to a Special Committee ;
as it also did the consideration of the Proposal rela.
tive to the Proprietors of East-India Stock.

A Paper has been printed at the National Press,
to be distributed to the Members of the Legislative
Assembly on their meeting, entitled ,1 Division of
Holland in Four Chief Distrills, and 141 Dis-
triets." It contains nothing more than the names
of the Cities and Villages of Holland, divided into
Distrids.
