Letters have been received from Holland to the
1:;!li inst. and Ilionitturs and other French Papers to
Cie Pith.
The letters. state what is very probable, that a
Decr,!e has been passed by the hutch Government,
ordaining tie ptinishincnt of death upon all persons
holding ahy intercourse with the British in Zealand ;
the same letters also state, what is less likely, that
lolunteers have refused to march against
enr troopt. We doubt not the regret with which the
whole Dutch nation would feel itself invoked in a
conflict with this conntry ; but we appracthi the
dread of French tyranny would prevent the volun.
tcers from incurring the penalty of any direct act of
disobedience.

The vincinal fact deserving of notice in the printed
papers is in an article frcm Frankfort, dated the 4th
inst. stating, that " on the 26th ult. the bases of peace
establishcl."— If this be correct, all that we
have been told in the different accounts received from
the Continent for these three days past, of the renewal
c = the war between France and Austria, is a delusion.
We have had such instances of palpable falsehood in
the statements in the public journals of the enemy—
even when given as'official, that we can believe no-
thing, merely because it is givel Officially, unless
supported by other documents ; but, unhappily, we
have had equal cause to complain of the falsehood
of the accounts circulated by the well wishers of
Austria.

We have inserted in our columns this day what is
called the Protest against the Emperor of the French,
and the Excommunication of the same personage.
The latter is certairly not given in the usual form ;
and if founded on any real act, can only be considered
as a very imperfect abridgement. We think it not
improbable, however, that the POPE may have had
recourse to this measure as his last desperate hope ;
but if so, he has himself given the death-blow to the
remaining shadow of power which he held, NAPO-
LEON hardly wanted a pretext, but this act thrusts
the occasion upOn him, and he will not fail to im-
prove it !
