Yesterday; in Haddington market, wheat, barley,
oats, and pease, were considerably under the last
week's prices. Indeed all the markets show a great
&cline—potatoes, which have been kept up for a
long time past, are rapidly falling, as they must
be brought to market at such prices as they will

bring.
The first division of the 3d West York Militia
marched from the Castle yesterday morning, and
the second division this morning, for Doncaster.—
The other divisions follow on Monday and Tues-
day.
Tuesday afternoon arrived in Leith Roads, the
Rambler of Leith, Captain NORRIS, from New
York, laden with ashes, staves, "&e. The Ram-
bler has had a very boisterous passage, and at times
the wind and sea were so very high, that she
frequently pitched the half of her bowsprit in the

HAGUE, JANTJAAY 24.

The two battalions of marines, under command
of the Colonels LEGA and HENRY, will embark for
the Cape of Good Hope, as soon as they are orga-
nized, where they are to remain in garrison, and to
supersede the British troops on their departure from
thence.

The French Minister, SEMONVILLE, who is set
off for Paris, I'aid no attention to the formalities of
taking leave of the President, as -was customary in
the time of ;he States General. He merely addres-
sed a letter to DE BEVEREN, the Chairman of the
Government, in which he expressed the sentiments
of the First Consul and his own towards the Bata-
vian Republic and its Government.
" I depart," says he, " penetrated with grati-
tude for the confidence with which your Magistrates
have honoured me in the course of the Negotiations
confided to my management, happy if those which
are preparing around us should be speedily again
committed to my care ; if, after being called to
proclaim to you the Congress of Amiens in .the first
days of your re-organization, I may long be a wit-
ness of the salutary effeas of your Government, and
of the partiality of the First Consul. Be assured,
Citizen President, that the Batavian Republic is the
object of the most lively solicitude of the First Ma-
gistrate -of France, and that after triumphing in de-
fence of the Independence of your respected Nation,
he is negotiating to establish its prosperity on an
immoveable foundation."

• The late report of the signing of the Definitive.
Treaty originated in a mistake : but the intelli-
gence is nevertheless expeded here every moment.
Most peop!e's curiosity, however, is excited rather
to know the substance of it i" and if this Republic is
to win or lose by the result.'

The greatest exertions, in the mean time, are
employed to bring about an union of parties, and
by that means to introduce `general fraternity. This
in some measure has succeeded with the Orangists ;
but with the party who has obtained the title of
Revolutionists nothing as yet is likely to be effea-
ed. It is a fad that, in several places, the Orang_
fists have had the choice of posts in preference to
the paliriots. Many of these latter, who.have hi-
therto.been considered as experienced, capable, and
Meritorious., are now sunk into obscurity.

The STADTHOLDER has written the following
Lett4 to all the Members of the former Govern-
ment

" Having learnt that several Members of the Government,
Ministers, an' her Fundiunarics of the province of —,
who were in ollice on the IStii of January, 5795, as we:l as
before the Revolutions that took place after that period,
entertain scruples with resped to we acceptance of places
under the present circumstances, and since the introduction
of the last Constitution, and reflise to take employments
. which have a relation to the. Government and Adininistra—
tion of the Country ; I have thought it necessary to inform
you by these presents (requesting you to in i.ke what use of
them you think necessary), that according to my opinion,
there are no longer any motives which should restrain you
from using your efForts (considering the order of things which
has latelyn introduced) to procure for your Country as
much good as it is susceptible of; and thereby to prevent its
total ruin. You may accept; without any difficulty, when
you think proper, employments, and sit in toe Colleges
which are connected with the- Administration of the Pittairs
of the Country, and take a place in the Governmenv, co-
operating with the Members of the present Government,

storm of last night she struck on the ground on the
South Wall. In the same storm was totally lost an
