Captain BERING, in his account of Kamschatka,
says, that when the inhabitants of these frozen re.
gions assemble at one of their plays or revels (for,
they have" dramatic amusements in that cour.
try), the first part of chi entertainment is con-
dueled hr this manner : two lusty fellows seize the
spenittors individually in their turn, whilst a third
crams him or her with fish and train oil.

An erroneous statement has lately appeared in
the Papers, respeaing the Batavian General DA.
NOELS. He was born and brought up'at Zwol, to
the profession of the law, and was, for several
Years, an Attorney there, until the troubles of 1787
broke out in Holland, in which he took a very ac.
tivc share in the Patriotic, or Anti.Orangist party,
by levying a regiment of hussars, and other deeds,
to!., numerous to relate ; in, consequence of whichhe
was obliged to emigrate to France, when the Prus.
sians entered the country, to restore the Prince of
ORANCIE and the old system of Government, which
had nearly been totally subverted in Holland. On
arrival in France, with a number of his com-
patriots, they were formed into a Corps called the
liatavion Legton, in which he, was an Officer, and
ruse graLlually in rank, until the French, under Pr.
ctiloatr, gonquered
,Holland, in 1795, at which
time he was a General of Division, equally with
the present Admiral DOViN-rea. The Dutch Go.
vernment, to avoid creating a jealousy between two
such men, gave DAENDELS the Command in Chief
01 the Army, and DE WINTER that of the Navy.
The charatter of DnartvELs has the, merit of con.
