DUTCH PAPERS.

TIIE HAGUE, Nov. 11.—A letter from Dordrecht, o
the 9th, says—" While the loading and sending away of
ships with all kinds of ammunition, provisions, and other
necessaries for the citadel of Antwerp continues here with
great activity, and we may therefore be pretty certain that
the Government is by no means disposed to give up that
important point to threats oreven to a hostile attack, on the
other hand, all the accounts verbally given by the crews
of those ships that visit the citadel, or contained in letters
from individuals of the garrison, agree that the troops are
animated with the greatest courage, and ready, if necessary,
to make a most desperate defence."
Letters fyom Flushing of November 7, say a strong de-
tachment of the militia (schutterey) of North Holland,
Brabant, arrived in this fortress on the sth instant, coming
from Alkmaar, and was immediately embarked for the
sth district of this province ; and yesterday a detachment
of 200 men of the Zealand militia was embarked for the
4th district.

ROTTERDAM, Nov. 13.—Embargo is laid on a Dutch
ship in the port of Dunkirk.

Prussian army, and that great numbers of troops are on

yesterday passed down the river to Helvoet from the

Bols-LE-DUC, Nov. 11.—hook, and some other vil-
lages, on the right bank of the Maese, opposite the canton
of Boxmeer, have lately been evacuated by the Belgian
troops. This circumstance has perhaps given rise to the
report of the evacuation of Venloo by the Belgians, which
has not been confirmed.
The Belgian troops in Limburg, on our frontier., are
said to be rot numerous, and to consist only of the parti-
sans of Capiarement, and a single regiment of J4gers.

pots, and supplies of ammunition. No furloughs are given
except in very particular cases.

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 11.—To the testimonies of respect
for the Prince and people of the Netherlands received in
these trying times from different countries we add the fol-
lowing :—A distinguished and wealthy inhabitant of Lou-
don has lately sent an original portrait of the celebrated
Admiral de Ruyter, as a present to his Majesty, " as a
proof of his respect for the memory of the immortal hero,
and as a testimony of his admiration of the great and
noble-minded King of Holland, who, like de Ruyter, de-
votes his whole life to the country, and if necessary is ready
ke him to die for it."—Dutch Papers, Nov. 14.
