A great oncrtber of. private, let ters. reached toWn
yesterday trom Holland ;:.but hot one ot them, that
liay.e seen or heard of; contain any .inortnation.

respeqiiig Louts ,ILJORI;nPARTE. .The general opi-
nion seems. to be, that he went to.Tonningen, and
• that he there embarked for America. Some per-
sons, however, think, that he is in custody, be or-
der of his Btother. One ot the letters mvillions a
singular a ie<(tote respecting Louts, wi,ich shows
the natural mildness of his disposition, and his desiie
to sof en, as -much as he could,.; t e ferocious De.-
crees'of BfJONAPARTE. It is stated, that the Com-
mapder of our squadron, off :the Texel, had lately
sent in a flag of truce; obtain the release of a
fishing-boat which had been captured by the enemy.
Louts repli,-d, through the Commtnyd.er .of the Dutch
squadron, that he 'boat having got into the hands of
the French, it was impogsible for him to order her '

to be restored; but be promised, 'that -Upon her
coming to be so)d by auaion, he ‘t otlld hiinself hny
her in, and send her back; or, if that conld not be
done, to purchase and send ba-Ck a. boat as neatly
as nearly resembling her as could be procured. *The
letter to which we are:allaiing, also mentions the
report of,MAssoNA having b.;en (Ideated; -but, for-the
reasons we gave yesterday, we are not inclined to be-
lieve it.. ' Although the people of Amsterdam did

not attempt any open resistance to the;entrance of
the French troops, and:of LEBRUN, (whom Buo-
NAPARM has insultingly styled his StOdtholder) into
their city, yet they have taken a very unequivocal
way of expressing their feelings, for almost every
FrenCh soldier that is found walking about at:night,

'On Wednesday her MAJESTY and the Peineesses
AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH, and JOPrIIA, m accopanied
by the Ladies in waning, honoured the Marquis and
Marettinness of CORNWALLIS with a visit, at. their
,seat -at Swinley Lodge, when her MAJESTY and the
PRINS'ESsES partook of. an- elegant dinner prepared
on the occasion.

Vie stated yesterdsi'..'on the authority of the
Amt rican Papers, that Ihe Congres4 was expealed
assemble immediately, to
;take the Dispatche4
brought by the John Adams into consideration_; but
letters dated the .20th nit. contradict this report, and
assert that there will be no extraordinary call of the
Congress. The following is au extraelfrorn one 'of
these-letters :

•
d"'NEW-'YORK, JUNE 20.—From letters received
ais day from the seat of Government, I am enabled
to assure you that it has been determined not to call
Congreis together until the 7egular period of its
meeting. What measures will then be adopted
with respea.to France,, remains to be seen; but it is
generally hoped that the President will, in the tn.-an
time, 'warn our citizens against all intercourse wit))
that country, by Proclamation. With respect. to
Gre?.l Britain, we hat,e'no doubt that .orneaccorn-
modatiOn will take place before the expiration of the
period.of intercourse limited in the late ACt-of Con-
gress." ••
