artillerymen bad entrenched themselves behind their
cannon. On the advance of SCHILL, they ofiercd to

them. When these gentlemen were half up the street,
the artillerymen treacherously fired upon them, and
both were killed. On this, Scrum. ordered his men

to rush upon the enemy ; the cannon were taken, and
every man put to the sword.
The following is an extract from a private letter

received yesterday
ROTTERDAM, JUNE 14, 1809.
" We cannot asrt.itive you any certain information about the
dispositions of our Gip/eminent towards America, but we soon
expect to be enibled to do so, at two American vessels, with
Colonial Trillium, are arriVed us the Tex ,4 ; and whates.s is de-
cided with respect tot .them will serve as a guide. It is feared
their cargoes will be put into the King's stores, and sequestrated
until a general peace. This; hoirever, depends on the intentions
of Francg, which country does cot as yet seem inclined to. femur

dered the two vessels arrived in 'the Jade, viz. the Hope sad
