ROTTILIMM, AIAt.CP :3.-Py a Proclamation
Of our Municipality, the Sathbath•t!ay is to he Lpt
here as it was he.ort: the Revoln;ion. No bilfincil,,!
of whatever kind, is to he travalteted. and the pub-
lie hinnies and gin-flops are to be !hut, on pain of '
a fine.

The colonial produAlons, *Welt are now tower
here than in Fogland, are expecged to rife, in con-
ft:voice of the late alarming advices received from
St. Domingo. the official arc-mints publithed
by the French Governnient, of the (late or affairs
in that ifland, it !s now currently rtported, that the
greateß pat t of the French men of war have been
deffroyed by batteries on the More.
The Dutch !hips which accompanied the French
fleet to St. Domingo, have orders to proceed for
Curacoa, as Piton at the troops are difearbarked,
which they took out with them.
Should St. Domingo be lo:k, it will prore of,
great difadvantage to this country, particularly in!
time of peace, no left than 18 million pounds of
Coffee, the pro,luce of that iltind, being brought
into this Republic annually, and which again is.
fent to Germany for the greatta part. •
The total annual importation of Coffee into this
country, from our own anJ other illands, formerly •
amounted to 40 million pounds weight. But this•
titian; ity has been Much leis lince the opening of
the Scheldt, which has not only atfeaed the trade'
to Germany, butt almoll cut oft all our traffic in
that article with grabant. It is, howcvtir, now more
Confidently alfertcd than ever, that t!:e Scheldt will
be re-fhut : frr by that means the French will not,,
only ref-cue leveral of their oil ports from decay,
but in all probalaty derive the advantage of a
tonti.ler,:thle annual fum firm this Republic for
that privilege, wh:ch would be paiJ without the
fmailtff reltulance tor heiliatirn. •

When our commerce was in its profrerity, we
hal 3000 Merchantmen on the ncean, and 13,000
feamet. tn:Floy. Our filteries fitrniffied us with
rich rerourccs, particularly thole of t:rcenland and
the tnatl of Scotland. Since th..: war, however,
'our mercantile fleet's have dilappeared, and our
fillieries gone to decay. Tte veirels emplOyed in
the latter have been fuFeezd to rot, and tae Piattrs

cheg their fupport horn door to door, when the
contributions of the beherolent proved inadequate
to the ptirpoie of re cuing them (torn want and
famine.
