His. Majesty's Gun.brig jackall, arrived this
morning, in the Downs, with the important intelli.
gence of a great Distention having taken place be-
twecn BONAFARTR and General. MQREAU, and
that the principal part of the Arm had, in con.
sequence, declared themselves favourable to the
latter. Orders have therefore been received at the
Texel, to suspend building the Flat.bottomed Boats
and- equipping two Sail of the Line and some Fri-
gatel which were fitting out there for Sea.
This circumstance was communicated to Captain
1-10-rtmm, of His Majesty's Ship Raisonab/e, by
the Dutch Commodore at the Texel, and Captain
HOTHAm immediately dispatched the.7ackall to the
Downs with the same, and soon after proceeded
thither himself with the Raisonntle, and she ar.
rived this afternoon.

An Irishman was secured at Harwich a few days

Some of the late Coniular measures in Holland
having. occasioned a remonstrance on, the part of
the Dutch, delivered, however, with all that hu.
mility which a sense of their hopeless situation
could inspire, in which the inevitable ruin that
would come upon their commerce, by the adoption
of the measure, was forcibly pointed out, the Ft JUT
CoNhUI, from hasty words to more hasty, at last
declared, in a fit of rage•, that he would destroy the
very basis on which such. mercenary arguments.,
were founded, by annihilating the trade of Holland
so effedually, that they should not have a single
Ship of any kind left to them ! Such arc the tender
mercies of this Dispenser of Litrro.
