DU I CH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 14.—The Commander of the
outpost before Goeree was informed on the 13th by
some pilots that they had seen at sea a French frigate,
which put out a boat to sound the Ooster. It took
in his sight a Dutch kof, and afterwards gave chase
to some fishing vessels. From the steeples of
Goeree some small ships of war were seen at a
distance,

The above-mentioned Commander had stopped a
French merchantman that was going to put to sea
arid had anchored in the Channel, and made it
anchor under his guns; but he afterwards received
orders to suffer the ship to pursue its voyage, and
not in any manner to molest English and French
merchantmen either entering or departing.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 15.—Scheviningen boats
that went to fish at a small distance from the coast
yesterday afternoon saw several large men-of-war,
on which they thought it advisable to return home.
Last night some shots were heard at Scheviningen
from a distance.

On the 12th instant, as we learn from the Texel,
two frigates came very near the coast, the colouts of
which were not to he distinguished. Nineteen men-
ef-war were seen further out at sea. The steers-
man, Aril Ploeg, with one of the herring smacks
from Northwick, all of which returned from sea on
the 12th, reports that on the morning of the 12th,
off Scheviningen, about five miles from land, he met
two frigates, one of which that was nearest to him
hoisted French colours, and on his hoisting the
Dutch flag sent out a boat to fetch him on board,
when he was questioned respecting his voyage and
destination for half an hour; he was then conveyed
back to his boat, and was suffered to proceed on his
voyage unmolested.
TILE HAGUE, Nov. 16.—According to an account
from Egmondaan Zee, a man-of-war, supposed to
be a 64 or 74, under English colours, was seen there
on the 13th, in the afternoon, about two miles from
the coast. A pilot boat of Egmond, which, with
the Dutch colours flying, ventured pretty near it,
seemed not to be observed by it. This same man-
of-war also passed some Egmond fishing boats
without molesting them in any way.
On the 14th, in the afternoon, while two English
men-of-war were seen off Camperdown, three mer-
chantmen under American colours, and a ship un-
der Dutch colours, passed Egmond. All these ves-
sels arrived safe in the Texel without having been
stepped by the English men-of-war. The pilots
they had on board returned safe to Egmond on the
15th. One of them was spoken to and questioned
by the English frigate the Rover, after which he
was malt:red to proceed unmolested on hie voyage.
Important Cabinet Councils appear to have been
held within these few days, in consequence of des-
patches from Prussia. Probably they relate to the
resolutions of the Prussian Cabinet against the
measures of France and England. The day before
yesterday despatches were sent to our Ambassador
at London.

A decree for calling out part of the second class
(or ban) of the militia is said to be ready.
We learn from Rotterdam that the Batavier
steamer had been engaged and armed by the Go-
vernment, and sent to Helvoetsluys, iu o,der to
cruise at the mouth of the Channel, and both to
serve in the defence of them, and as far as possible
to facilitate the entrance of Dutch merchantmen.

BREDA, Nov. I.s.—We hear that the Belgians
have considerably strengthened their posts from the
road to Antwerp hither, and only wait for the en-
trance of the French troops to extend themselves
along the frontiers.

A-number of families who have fled from Ant-
werp, and who belong to the richer classes, have
lately been received at our outposts, with permission
to remain for the present in this province.
Bors-LE-Duc, Nov. 15.—Nothing particular is
observed in our army. The usual vigilance is exer-
cised at the outposts.
TILE HAGUE, Nov. 13.—1 t is affirmed in many
quarters that our Government will not at present
proceed to reprisals against France and England, by '
laying an embargo on their ships. It is reported
that such measures being spoken of in a late Cabinet
Council, his Majesty said, " Let them do so, we
will not follow their example. Why should de-
fenceless merchants be the victims of the injustice of
their Government, which themselves are the first to
blame ?"

Dutch Papers, Nov. 17.

We regret to state that the gallant Admiral
Lord EXMOUTH is dangerously ill at his seat at Teign-
mouht.—Hampshire Telegraph.

A Coroner's Inquest was held on Saturday in
Whiteeross-street Prison, on the body of Mr. An. am
UNswottnr, a highly respe!table old gentleman, ag d '76,
who died broken hearted in the prison. The widow of
the deceased stated that he had been an extensive cotton ma-
nufacturer in Manchester for the last 18 years; he had been
engaged in an extensive Chancery suit, to recover a con.i••
derable property from his uncle, and had long been expect•
ing its successful termination. In the beginning of Sep-
Umber he was arrested for 3271. law expenses, and throw n
into prison, which entirely broke down his spirits. A
few days before his death he said to his wife that he was
dying broken hearted. Every attention had been paid
him by the surgeon of the prison. Verdict —" Died by
tEe visitation of God."

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT MESSRS.
BRAITHWAITE'S IRON.FOUNDRY.—SIX MEN BURNT.—
On Saturday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, a
dreadful accident occurred at Messrs. BRAITHWAITE'S ex-
tensive iron-foundry and engineering manufactory, Brook-
street, New-road, Fitzroy-square. It appears from the
statement of JOHN COLEMAN, one of the unfortunate
sufferers, that himself and five other brother workmen,
were engaged in removing a quantity of metal, with
ladles, from out of a large iron melting-pot, containing
nearly half a ton of boiling metal, when, melancholy to
relate, at the moment they were all engaged in discharg-
ing it, the melting-pot swidenly burst, and the boiling
metal flew over their persons, burning them in all parts
in a shocking manner. Their dreadful situation soon
broughtimmediate assistance to them, and the poor
sufferers were removed from out of their perilous situation.
Some of them were removed to their residences, and
others to the Middlesex Hospital. We are happy to state,
that not any of the unfortunate sufferers are considered at
present in imminent danger. The utmost praise is due to
the unfortunate men's employers, in rendering and pro-
curing every possible relief that was in their power.'
