Some of the Dutch Journals (which have been
received to the toth), anrounce the conclufion of a
Treaty of Offenfive and Defenfive Alliance between
Raffia and Fruffia, which is Paid to have been figned
on the part of the latter at Feted:burgh, by the Duke
of BRYN/NICE. Other accounts Rate, that all
differences between Pruffia and France have been
definitively fettled ; and we have reafon to think, abet
the terror of the French arms has, for the prefent,
induced Pruffia to fubfcribe to all the humiliating
conditions prefcribed by France. The report is
revived, that jlamburgh is immediately to be occupied
by a Ruffian garrifon. The naval preparations in the
Dutch ports are carried on with the uttnoll
The deficit in the revenues of the Batavian Republic
for the prefent year exceeds twenty-three millions,
which is to be made good by new taxes. The province
of Calabria is hid to have been completely over-run
by the French, who were making great preparations

defence.

Sweden and Denmark are augmenting their naval
