DUTCH PAPERS,

To the dare of Mondey left, have been received.—
They mention the magnitude of the preparations of
Profile, in accounts from Frankfort, but probably of
Parifian manufalture. The object of it is to imprefs
an opinion, that there preparations cannot be aimed
.againft Fiance, and that the two Governments are
upon the bell terms partible with each other. It is,
however, admitted in the Paris intelligence of the
rQ inflant, that the preparations have attracted the
attention of the French Government, which has
made a categorical demand of explanation as to the
(Nee of them. The anfwer is raid to have been,
!" that they were for defenrive purpofes." It the hof.l
tile appearances between France and Profile have
already induced any explanations of this nature,
the grand cries cannot be very &Rant. We do
not think, however, that Boa AAAAA I has as yet ven-
tured to catechife his Profilan Majefty in a tone
quite fo peremptory. Had be made the demand,
his troops would have been ready to enforce an MIT.
Aver. It is probable, that be lies between two and
three hundred thoufend men at his command in Ger-
many ; but a very large proportion of that force Mat
be employed in obferving Aultria.
Notwithdanding the 'Gain's in ere leforitntr,
that the Auftrian prifoners were on their march home-
ward., it does not appeal, by the accounts (rem
Suabia and Baverie, that any orders to that dice
had been received or acted upon. There kerns
however, fonts dill)• lid= on the part of France,
not onlf to ceafe horn itr vexations and infults
Audi; t for the indent, but even to tare ft.nie de-
pee of caosiliation towards that NOV'. The French.

2noperor is raid to have declared, that it war not hit
intention to deprive the Aufirian Family of the title
of Grand Matter of the Teutonic Order, but, on the
conwary, to confer it on the Archduke Amvstoar,
confirming to him alfo his poflCl6ons itt Baabia and '
elfewhere. It is fortunate for the Emperor of A tr.
,rata, that there is that in the Rate andappearence
of the Continent which has procurifferr 'bein this
refpite from infult and perfecotion. We fear, how.
ever, that it wilt not raft longer than the niretimftsus•
;es which have produced it.

An unfortunate incident occurred yenerday even

from that port, off the Skerries, (a number of rock;
about three miles from that !bore), was becalmed ;
the tide running rapidly down 'the channel, foon
drove her upon one of thefe rocks, where the imme-
diately bilged. In this precarious and deplorable
fnuation the remained but a 'bort pet iod. the rolling
billows launched her once more into the deep, when
the inllantly went down, to appear no more. Every
petfon on board was faved, except the Captain, Joan
from Peterhead, who was killed by a Itruke

that the greater part of the brig was his own property,

NORTH FLIT Dock YARD.—OnMonday,an alarm-
ing fire broke out on thole extenfive premifes, now,
we believe, chiefly ufed for building (hips for the
Royal Navy. About one in the afternoon, on the
return of the workmen from dinner, (moke was ken
idling from the Store future, a very capacious build-
ing, tilled with all forts of valuable materials for the
completion of (hips. Flames burft out immediately.
aftuwards, and the inhabitants of the neighbouring,
dwellings, as well as the whole town of Gravefend,
were under the greatell apprehenflons, the wind be•
ing from the S. V. and the tide then almoll at the'
loweit of the ebb. Water was, however, immedi..
ately ,proctired, and the engines fpeedily brought,
but not in time to rave any part of the building, or
its contents. About two the roof tell in, and the
whole then formed one folid mats of materials ft,
combullible, that at half pall three, when the en-
Ones had been playing upon it for two hours, the
flames continued at a conliderable height, and were.,
tit ((tong as to be diftioaly vifible, at a diflance, not-
withitanding the brightnecs of the fun-thine. Many
'hundreds of per lons were collated, all ready to have '
given Alliance. but nothing could be done more
th in playing with the engines upon the burning macs,
little effeel as they teemed to have upon it. To ap-
proach it nearer was impolale. Two fine feventy-
fours nearly completed are upon the flock', within
twenty or thirty yards, but happily the fire was to
leeward of them. It was evening before any confi-
&ruble benefit could be perceived from the inunertfe
quantity of water diretled againft the flames, but
they were eitingnifheti before night. and fortunately
without communicating to any other part of the pro-
miles. The engines continued upon the fput all night,
and every other precaution was ufed again!! the re-
newal of the fire. Providentially no lives were 1011.
Yetterday morning the interior of a hustle in Bra-
ziers buildings, Ileet.matket, was detiroyed by bit.
