THE Hamburgh and Dutch Mit;ls which arrived
this morning, are as barren of intelligence as the
French Papers ;- but we have been favoured-with a,
Copy of the Flushing Courant Extraordinary of
the 6th instant, which contains a most extraor.
dinary and important article. When the French
Government compelled a Neutral State to insert
in one of its Public Journals, a gross Libel
against the Government of England, it was uni.
venally considered as an, aa of the most unpre-
cedented and unjustifiable violence, but when put
in comparison with the Decree of , the
,Consuls of
France respeeting the Town
,of Flushing, it is
scarcely deserving of notice. • The Consuls of
France, have by a Decree declared that the Town
of Flushing, belonging to the independent Bata.
via,: Republic, shall be considered as being in a
fiat 4.1 c Siege, and a number of French Troops have
afttially taken possession of it.
,The .following are the particulars of this trans.
aftion

It was yesterday very confidently asserted in the
higher Political Circles, that Lord Sr. VINCENT
bad resigned his situation at the Admiralty, and
that Lord MELVILLE was adually appointed his

Having seen in a- scurrilous Weekly Paper an
assertion, that a ,Member of the present Goveiii-
ment, nearly conneficti with the Minister, was the
Author of a Paragraph which appeared in our. Paper
on the 7th instant, we think ourselves hound to de.
Clare solemnly, that such assertion is utterly devoid
of truth.
