The harbour of Brest was reconnoitred by the in-
shore squadron of Lord GAMBIER'S fleet, on the 28th

A letter from Gottenburgh, dated the 25th ult. says,

that many more will share the same fate. Two ships
are come back, and have brought this account."
Private letters from Holland state the arrival at',
Atristerdam of the Dutch Ambassador from Paris.'
This arrival, connected with the circumstance of the
Ambassador having devilled with extraordinary ex-
pedition from Paris, created, it appears, a very con-
siderable alarm among the Dutch -people. What the
cause of this alarm, or what the object of the Ambas-
sador's journey, none of the letters we have seen allude
to, or even insinuate.
Measures of additional rigour have been taken to
prohibit the introduction or conveyance of any article
whatever of foreign commerce, and particularly Eng-
lish manufacture, in Holland. With this view,, all
boats and waggons passing through the interior of the
Provinces are obliged to take out certificates, and are
subjected to the same restrictions as those which are
Imposed upon ships at sea, or coming into a Dutch
Iport.
MAiiLsoaouoitarrastr.—A Porter in the+ employ
of Mr. Roberts, the White Horse Inn, Fetter-lane, was
yesterday charged at this Office, by Lord Kinnoul,
with extortion, in obtaining 18d. more than his re-
turfare for a basket of game. It appeared that
d Kinnoul had often received packages, &c.
from Dundee, in Scotland, similar to the present
one which came from thence, and consequently be
detected the imposition. The porter was fined in the
penalty of 40s.—Another charge of a similar nature
was made against another porter, who was also fined.

sentenced to be dismissed from the Venus.
