NArAttrE has eatabilshed ,fos.,the regulation of tl.

fisheries, of Holland, and am a proof of the affec-
tionate tteatment which the people'of klella,ndinay
expect front their new Sovereign, we -beg to- call
the attention of our Readers to the • sth Article
which is as follows

." A French sokher shall be put on board
cc
each of the fishing-boats; the .masters of which

"are, suspected -of -smuggling or communicating
" with ,the enemy - and in case of the capture
ti " of any:ot,those soldiers by the'enenik, the fish—
;." ery Shall beinstantly prohibited, and a general
" ethkr,Lio laid on all the vessels therein employed:
" In short, the village inhere the fisherman resides
shall be exemplarily punished."

An Opposition Paper has this day mentioned a
report that Mr. CANNING is going with his friends;
Mr. HUSKISSGN and Mr. ELLIS, upon a trip to
Ga-
diz, -and'adds, that they have been persuaded by the
Margilis WELLESLEY to extend. their excursion to
the Court of Palermo. Hence, the writer, in the'
usual sneering style of the Paper allUded to, infers that
Mr. CANNiNG will have an opportunity of assisting
the Minister whom he appointed to Sicily, without
bringing any additional. charge on: his country.
That Mr. CANNING .would avail himself of any
opportunity of serving his country, We do not doubt,
and if he is really going upon anyeipedition of curi,
osity orpleasure, the measure; we are' sure, Avillte
more 'desirable to him, if it'. should be coupled' with

such an opportunity.
„ .
Supposing the fact to be .as, stated, We see no
ground for censure. We remember some years ago,
when a mission was supposed to hive been sent

from this.country, with the intention of -thwarting
the plans of Government, and the Paper in question
defended the measure ; but we should think that
that was a subject which some of• the friendS of
that Paper would not wish to have renewed. -

It was rumoured thi's morning, but without the
slightest foundation in faa, that Mini,ters had re-
ceived an account of a battle in Portugal.'

We understand that a new Brevet is settled, and
is forthwith to take place, viz,
'All Lieutenant-Generals down t9Lientenant-Ge-
ner,zl WEI YT-E, incluiFtie, to be Oenerals,
All Major-Generals down to Major-General F.
RuOotsirtg, to be Lieutenant-Generals. • •

W.'STIEWART, to be P.1,,j0r-Generals.

lonel H. TAYLOR, to be

The Brevet is also to in'clude an adVance of Ma-
jors, to the rank of L;eutenant7Colon.,,-.1, and
tains to be Majors, but we-have not heard the precise
period to which these two last ate to come down,—
The one, we, believe, is to descend to the end of
1800, and.the other tb the.end of 1802:
By the above Major-Generals C.:,CRANt'FUID and

state, that General-ARMSTRONG had apprised the
Government, that having totally failed in his ne`go-
, dation with France, and aqeing not the smalle-it
prospect of receiving any kind of satisfaction; either
political orpecuniary, it was his intention to return
to the United States s soon as possible. The
,dis-
patches brouVht by the Jain iidants were the last he
proposed to send. These letters also mention the

The immense value of the property of every kind
that is accumulated in Heligoland, has induced the
utmost vigilance to prevent any accidents from fire
in that island. We learn by a letter from thence
dated the 'Oita instant, that a civil watch is appoint-
ed from the firing of the evening guns, till 6 o'clock
in the morning, Whose business -it iStOThee that all
lights and fires are extinguished at the appointed

.If the condua Aid chArader of . BUONAPARTE

! were not too well .known for every species of in-
iquity, the world might be surprized. at his con-
duct towards his brother Louis. But he has prov-
ed himself on numberless occasions utterly destitute
of every feeling of humanity, except in a thirst for
power, which scents to exceed that of any tyrant or
*conqueror that history has recorded. 7• It is plain
indeed, that his ambition absorbs hiS mind so much
as to render him insensible to the dictates of com-
mon policy, tor it never can be supposed, that with
the detestation which he has: excited, he can live
without the constant danger of a dreadful termina-
tion of his despotism. Mankind can only submit to
a certain extent, and his euorthiiies seem to have
reached', to the utmost bounds of human patience
and endnrance.
