England had taken part, is formally cuntradie"tcd.
The Porte, it is said, is only anxious to main.

the time of the Invasion of Egypt by the French.
It was in consequence of this determination, that
the Turkish Government could not oppose the pas..

The New Constitution, so lung expeCted by
the,,oppressed People of
.Holland, has at length been
submitted to 'the present Government of that unfit:-
`ttint'e'Country. It is one of those theoretical plans
lich make a specious figure un paper, but which
would encounter .a multiplicity of difficulties in the
attemptio7carry them into praftice, if they were
not' •*enforted by the sword. '•
The old title of
meta_ HIGH MIGHTINIISSIS is to be revived,
and the chief Executive Power is to be vested in
the .Pen'sionary, who, in circa, is to unite with that
Oiitraaet the Office of STAIITHOLDEIto—The power
of the Pensionary would indeed be almost equal to •
that of absolute Sovereignty if he were not preclud.
ed fiLn making, by his own authority, any changes
irirthe Law, and if it were not also evident, that
he must be merely, an instrument in the hands of
France to propose and carry such measures aj the
latter, 'may think proper to decree. The Army, .1
the INavy, the Finance, and the appointment of a
Council of State, are to be entirely under the patro.
nage and controul of the Pensionary. To shew,
however, what a Free Agent the first Possessor of
that Office is to he, the person nominated for
the appointment is SCI-11110,1ELPENNINCK, the Sub.
missive tool of the French Usurper. In or.
der to prove that in this new plan of Government,
which is to be submitted to the People, the People
are really peimitted to exercise a free choice, let
the French Usurper withdraw his Troops from
Holland,vvhere they remain in such numbers that no
Dutchman cart presume to give his opinion upon
this new Plan, without the fear of being marked for
persecution and devoted to ruin.
The proposition fur the intended change in the
Constitution war communicated by the present sub.
sisting Executive Government, to the Legislative
Body, in a Letter dated the t4th March. • The
Letter, after stating that Laws and Public Institu.
tions ought to be founded on the result of expert.
env, and that the changes Which had since occurred
in the neighbotiring States rendered it necessary to
re-mould the Constitution of I So t , proceeds thus :
" These refleClions have given birth to the pro.
jed of a Constitution, the principal and funda.
mental points of which are more conformable to the
present state of Europe. We trust that Foreign
Nations, as well as our Fellow Countrymen, will
see with pleasure that those ancient Titles and an.
dent Institutions, under which our Country wit.
nessed epochs of prosperity and glory, arc re-esta-
blished by this Constitution in a manner such
as that the numerous vices demonstrated
long experience, and rejeaed by an unanimous
sentiment, cannot, at the same. time, be re.
produced. We abstain from further details rela.
tive to this project of a Constitution ; we trust,
on the one hand, that the Batavian People, in ac.
cepting it, will find the guarantee of their Liberty
and independence, civil and political; and we hope,
on the other, that a power more concentrated will
be able to combat successfully against the lesser ob-
stacles which stand in the way of its execution."
This Address having been taken into considera.
tion by the Legislative Body, that Assembly ap.
pointed a Special Committee to examine it, consist.

LEGHORN, FEB. 13.—0 n the 9th inst. came in
here two English Privateers, one of which, the Ox,
carried 4 guns, 24 and 18. pounders ; the other had
smaller guns. They 'brought in with them a French
Brigantine carrying 1+ 8-pounders. The supe.
riority of the English Artillery, of a heavy calibre,
had alone forced the French to surrender, after a most
Obstinate resistance. The fury with which they fought
sufficiently appears from there being nearly 60
men killed and wounded on board the 3 Ships. The
two Priv.atters landed the French crews here, and
then put to sea with their prize, the. Brigantine.

AMSTERDAM, MARCH panic seems to pre.
vail at the Cape of Good Hope on account of a
supposed pcpedition of the English.

LAST night, in the House of Commons, Mr.
PITT brought forward his Plan for reducing the
Militia to *45,000 in' England, and gOOO in Scot.
land. Adding to these numbers aOOO for Non.
commissioned Offkers, would, he stated, make the
whole amount 51,000, which, deduCted from the
present number of the Militia in England and
Scotland, taken at 68,000, would leave 57,000 men,
who are to be allowed to volunteer into the Regu.
tar Army. This Plan, he observed, it was proposed
to carry into effect in a way the least hurtful to the
feelings of the Militia Officers with this view he
proposed that the Commander of each • Regiment
should be allowed to furnish a certain number of men,
according to his own choice, and it the numbers
provided should amount to four.fifths of the quota
to be furnished by such Regiment, then that no fur.
ther call should be made upon it. If the Com-
mander did not do this, then that he should be al.
lowed to choose half of his Regiment to be reserved)
and out of the other half, the Recruiting Officers of
Government should choose the Men willing to Vo.
lunteer, up to the number wanted,
We have no doubt that this admirable plan will
have the effat of almost immediately increasing our
Disposable Force to the amount stated, and at the
same time adding to it not merely men, but 17,000
braVe Soldiers, already far advanced in discipline,
and aCtuated by the most determined valour, and
the must ardent zeal in the cause of their Country.
