night;• every indivilual in the house is forced to get
up immediately, a;:d every dra ;vet-, cuest, scl,)set,
&c. must be/opened. Thiti visit and examination may
be repeated just as often as the Officers please, and the
slightest opposition to the Officer is punished with
, • .
the most unrelenting seventy. But the mea-
sure 9f BUONAPARTE which has spread the
greatest misery and ' desolation throughout
was his annihilating at once two-thirds of
the public debt, and thus robbing the public creditors
of two-thirds of their property. By this atrocious
aol of violence, an immense number of families have
been reduCed to absolute begpry.. During the
last few years, many of the most reSpetiable Dutch
merchants, in consequence of the impediments
tbroWn in the. way of trade; had withdrawn their
Capitals and placed them in the funds. They are
now utterly, ruined, because though one-third of
their capital is nominally left them, yet In the pre-
sent state of the fioance4, there is but little chance
that the interest, even upon thatthird, will be paid.
Every appearance• of trade has vanished; the
.Merchants have shut up their counting-houses, and,
of course, all the. persons in their service have been
dismissed without the possibility of obtaining any
employment. But the-most distressing part of our
informant's statement was, that which related to the
Hospitals and other Charitable Institutions. Their

chief, and, indeed, their only support, "was the pro-
perty they had in the fundi, for, in the present
wretched state of Holland, it is in vain to look •for

voluntary contributions.

By BLIONAPARTE'S decree

respeaing the public funds, these InsUtutiuns were

at once deprived of all their resources, and of course,
the unhappy objeas whom they supported, have
been lett destitute. Upwards ,of. 10,006 unfurtU-

nate 'beings have in consequence -of—t4is measure
been turned out of Hoipitals and other charitable in-

stitutions, to perish and starve in the streets.

The

Gentleman from Whom we received this affliating
relation saw, within these three weeks, numbers of

poor creatures lying in the -"streets of Amsterdam,
and • aaually dying for want. Iu the.midst of this

scene of wretchedness, the FredCh Officers and sol

diers betray the most unfeeling 'barbarity, and the
most wanton insolcnce : they are.in general quarter-
ed upon such of the inhabitants as still retain Buy
portion of property ; t welve, fourter&,- Greven six-

teen of them are somelinues quartered upo2 one indi
vidual.

Such is the almost unparalleled state of misery
to which that once rich and happy country his been
reduced, and all this complicated nia,ss of human

wretchedness has been produced by the unprinci_
pled ambition and the atrocious cruelty at ONE

MAN.

The Scylla, whose arrival from Corunpa we men-
:ioned Yesterday, has not brought any authentic in-
:elligence from Portugal.

The Negociation fir the Exchange of prisoners
is at an end. BUONAPALfrE has shown, by bls ox-
trav,Tant demands, that he had no desire wh'atevcr
of liberating the 50,000 Frenchmen that are pri-
soners in this Country. We stated some days ago,
from the best authority, the nature of the proposi.
tion he had made.

Last night we received the Moniteitr, and other
&each Papers, to the ist inst. IVIASSEN4'S Dis-
patches respeaing the battle of Busaco had riot then
reached Paris, or At least they had not been pub-
hilted. We learn, however, dig BUONAPARTE had
I'e ed'an illumination in consequence of that
vic-
tory. Thee Papers contain some more Decrees,
%% hid) BUONAPARTE has issued, for lam-Ding al,
English merchandiztt in aid-Jost every part of the
Cuwinent over which power extends. -In o:e

State, positively, that the is not the
fOntfamion for this,.keport :,.,.no such teleglaphic
message reached the - Admirarty ; -and we are fur-
ther enabled to state; that as late as two O'clock
yesterday, there-wa4 no arrival Piot,mouth Or
Plymouth, trout Lisbon, 'Oporto, and Cadiz.

We have been -favoured by a Gentleman of great'
respbalability, who has very recently arrived from
Holland, with the following details respeEting the
Isituation of that unhappy country. He. says, that
the accounts which have. appeared , in the English
Papers, of the distress occasioned in Holland by
BUONAPARTE'S decrees, for the prohibition of dil
commerce, and of the rigonr• with which those de-
crees are executed, t ill very far short of the truth. No
person can go even a mile out of town without be-
ing minutely . searched, both .upon his leaving it,
and upon his_ return.; and if he should happen
to meet an Officer. of the .Customs (Douaniet)
in 'the.same ceremony is re'lleated. The
search for prohibited 'good4, in the, honses. of in-
dividuals; is carried on, if possible, in a more vexa-
tious manner. The Officers very fie.guently choose
to make their search in the middle of the
