. LONDON, APRIL 28, 1803.

We received this morning the Paris Papers to
the 26th inst. It appears by a letter in the Mimi.
tear, dated 7 anion, the t 3th inst. that the Evacua-
tion of Alexandria by the English had taken place
on the 17th March. The Garrison, which consist.
ed of 4000 men, had arrived at Malta, where they
were performing quarantine.
The appearance of the English Squadron on the
Coasts of Holland, seems to have excited very great
alarm : the preparations for defence are carrying
forward on a most extended scale, and with the ut_
most expedition.
The Ratification of the Emr EROR of GERMANY
to the Conclusurn of the Diet of the Empire, was
expeded at Ratisbon on the 22d.
The Funds are 54. to.

The Ihmburgh" Mail of the isth inst. arrived
this morning, but Papers of a later date had been
before received by the way of Holland.

Thy occupation of Flushing by the French, and
the march of so many additional Tloops into t hat
Country, arises chiefly, we umbrstantl by very
authentic private letters, from an appeal made by
the Batavian Government to the EMI' FitOß of
RUSSIA and the KING of PRUSSIA, for their infer_
Terence to prevent Holland from being involved in
the War between England and France, should War
be the result of the present Negotiations. A re-
quest, we. understand, was at the same time made by
the Batavian Government to ours, that their Ncu.
trality, in the event of hostilities, should be reaped-
ed.—The answer of our Government was, we
believe, equally just and generous,
.viz. That the
Neutrality of Holland should readily be respelled,
provided all the French Troops were. withdrawn
from it, and that Country left independent and free.
That the French Troops will not in any case be
withdrawn, we may easily conclude, for so unani.
mous ate now the People of Holland, and so im-
patient and indignant under the French yoke, that
the moment an opportunity presents itself, we believe
they would to a man sacrifice their lives in their
last ditch, rather than submit again to French
Fraternizatiqn.

Our private letters inform tI4, that the Squadron
at tif/vott destined ostensibly for Louisiana, has
suffered so much in the late tempestuous weather,
that they have been obliged to disembark, not only
the mep, but the stores, and that the Ships cannot
again be rendero fit for sea for more than two
tuont:o to come.
