Letters of the r9th ult. from Heligoland mention
that the Engin garrifon there was nearly deleitute of
every kind of provifion,and that if they did not fpeedily
obtain a fupply, they would be under the neceffity of
quitting it.
A Gentleman, arrived from Gottenburgh, who *as
it Chriftianfand on the toth inllant, reports, that
Recker was then in the hands of tht Englifh, and

Three veffels from Holland reached Gravefend
leherday, they left it on the 18th. having previnufly
to the rigid enforcement of the Dutch Decree obtained
their licences of departure. They have brought a
tall number of letterr, by %Odell we learn that the
whole refponlibility of the full execution of the late
decree is veiled in an Officer of the name of Goo LE ;
who is appointed by NAPOLEON, and t.ho is to ad
'under the influence and difcretion of intlrudions from
Paris, and is not to be rerponfible for his condo& to
any other tribunal. This has been done to avoid
references or applications to King Louts on the
matter. Every paff:nger who in future may
arrive on the Dutch Coati, before he can be per-
mitted to land, is to depofit in the hands of Mr.
Gogle one thoufand guilders, to be forfeited in a given
time, fhould difcovery be made that fuch pagenger
Mme left from a Britifh port. There is a very extra•
ordinary opinion held out in there letters ; it is laid,
that all the Southern Departments of Holland are
immediately to be annexed to France—thofe of the
North are to be given to the King of WESTPHALIA.
As the public mind has been milted by the Spanifh
'sports refpeding the condud of Major General
141ttroan and Lieutenant Colonel Pace, the I°l-
! viag will be found, whenever an invefligation takes
OW, to be a correct flatement of all the circum-
wes relating to that affair :
After thofe Officers had given their parole, they were removed,
:I,' • an armed efcort,from Buenos Ayres, contrary to the
under which that parole was given ; and, fubfequently, their
s'TiOrlt were feized, their papers taken from them, and they were
uordiedap the country.
General Llamas was likewife apprifed by General Sa-
tsuma), that the Officers conEered their parole as no longer

_ On their arrival at Monte Video, previims Co I.ieut. Colonel

Aut Nears, the then Commander of the Forces ; and they were
000loisitadly of opinion, that he (Lieuttnant Colonel PAca) was
