The Merger who came over in the flag of truce
from Calais arrived in town early this morning. His
name is MAINZ. He left Vienna on the an of the
month, with dilpatches for the Auarian Ambalfador
at Paris, where he arrived nn the 9rh. He remained
till Friday laft, the 13th. A Ruffian Mefrenger had
previnufly arrived there.
On Friday laff he left Park and embarked at Calais
on Sunday morning, on board the Flora cartel. He
landed at Deal yellerday at eleven o'clock, and after
having waited upon the tort Admiral, fri m whom
he received his pafrport, fet off for London. The
Flag of Truce waits to carry him back.
Nothing has yet tranfpircd with refpeet to the na•
ture of the Difpatches of which he is the bearer, and
Government preferve, very properly, a prof.und
filence. But we have little doubt of their containing

LA night we received tome more Dutch Papers
to the t4th, and French to the loth infant. Letters
from Holland of the 14th have alfo been received in
town.

The RING of HOLLAND is gone to Utrecht, but
there is nothing to be collefted from the papers of
the Rate of things in that country.
The Dutch Legiflature meets on the t 7th of nett
month. The place of affembly, for what reafon we
know not, has been appointed at Utretsht.
By the private letters, it appears that the decrtte of
blcckade continues to be enforced with rigour in
Holland. The number of vetrels now under deten:l4
amount to admit forty, and proceedings have cos.
menced for their condemnation. It is not fuppofed,
that the decifion upon any will be known for force
time, as appears from the following extra& cf a hater:
" ROT rhItDAM, NOV. 9.
" I have fern to day In the C trate, that the citation 'epeeist

know by Come /weans.

" With refpeeft to the veffel, I am of opinion, that there is es
right to the read but the papers having been fent for verification ;
int from what I ftated in a former letter, there feew no difficulty
in declaring the papers in this inftanee fete, unite lie sd and 3i
articles of the late decree."

The private letters alfo mention that the Ameri.
can Minifter at Paris has again notified to the Ame-
rican (hips in the ports of France and Holland a
that they would take their departure with all potlible
(peed. They are not agreed, however, as to the mo.
tive for this recommendation—tome of them aka.
ing it to an apprehenfion of hoitilities between Er/,
land and America, others between France and Apt.
rica. We fubjoin two of thefe letters :

" ROTTERDAM, NOV. 9.

" We have nothing new in politi►s, excepting that the Ame-
rican Minilterat Paris has again &Tilted !Ups (Awaken of courfe)
