FROM YHA' DUI EH PAPERS.

SCHITDAT4, OCT. tB.—The Batavian Official Jour-
nal of the tsth inf. notices the articles lately inferted
in the London Papers, afTerting, that permiflion
would probably he loon granted for the renewal of
the commercial relation, hctwetn this Cjuntry and
England, and that it has already been permitted in
export from hence to Great Britain articles of fo-
reign produce ; alfo that Engin manufsetures may
be imported into Holland on the payment of 7i per
cent. ; and that in confequence, conliderable orders
bad been reccieed in Lor,don from their correfpcn-

dents in this country.
" One cannot hut be aflonifbed," Pays the Official
Journal, "at the taunt-ions effrontery with v‘hich this
grofs untruth is frilled on the public, which can on-
ly have this twofold ,!ograreful ol;j:6l—firft, to re-
prefent the Batavian Government as trampling upon
the regulation, by a mere apparent execution of its
laws, enaeted in conjundion with its High Ally,
agsinfl the common encnty—and fecondly, to render
Inch natives of this country, who might be impru-
dent enough to credit this fabrication, and who
might regulate their commercial fpeculations in con-
formity thereto, by confiderable loffes, the viElims of
their imprudence and credulity.
" It is therefore of the utmoll confequence to con-
tradia fuch intelligence, which is falfe, and dellitutc
of all foundation, not only by the pofitive affertion,
that the nation's high and inferior officers continue
to receive the moll orders to redouble their vi-
gilance, not only for dilcoveting and preventing all
prohibited importations and exportations, but alfo by
the good conftquences refulting therefrom : which is
evident in the following (ketch of the amount of the
goods lately leized, and effeaed within a very fhort
period of time, on which fentence has partly been
already paired by the Judge for confifcation, and
partly depetoling, for invetligation and profecuticn,viz.
" About ioo bales, barrels, and thefts of Englifh
manufaeures, betides the cargo of a veffel feized,
and other packs and bales found in fchoots ; further
more than one hundred and forty hampers of Engin

earthenware.
" One dare hardly fuppofe that fuch intelligence
is transmitted from this country to England ; but if
it be In, it can have an other tendency than that, in
general, of reprefenting the Government, if poffible,
in a fu(picious light, and of bringing new difafters
on this Republic. It were to be wifhed, and it
would render the Government an efential fervice, if
every true patriot getting intelligence of the culpable
importation and exportation of merchandize, would
bring himfelf to give information thereof, for the
general welfare, in order to enable Government to
put the laws in due execution againft thofe who may
tranfgrefs them."
BERNE, OCT. 6.—The following Proclamation has
been addreffed to the troops of the Confederation by
the Commander in Chief :
" We, RODOLP H Of WATTIINWYL, General of the
Federal Troops, to all the Officers, Non-Commif-
finned Officers, and foldiers of the Corps of Neutra-
lity of the Confederation.—You have taken arms at
the call of your country to keep foreign troops from
your frontier:, and to maintain with all your force
the tranquility and peace, which, after fa many
Qorms, D►viss Paovinsaca has rendered us. This
is what conffitutes, and will conffitute your Pole
deffination. The Helvetic confederation wifhes not
to make war, and effentially defies only to live in
peace with all its neighbours, and to offend no one;
therefore Phut your ears againfi tb difcourfes of the
evil minded or the ignorant. Confide in your Chiefs;
remain faithful to your colours as you have Hoorn ;
obey voluntarily and with exaetnefs your Chiefs.—
Contents yourfelves with the pay and fubfiflence that
hate been allowed you by the regulations, and do
not permit yourfclves to make any regulations that
are contrary to them. Live peaceably and harm-
tin:illy with one another, and with all your unarmed
iellow-citizens. And although your religion, your
cnttoms, and your languages, be not the fame, never
forget for an inflant that you have neverthelefs a
common country; that you are all Swifs, and wills I
to remain Swifs ; in fine, that you have all but one
and the fame intereft, that of preferving the honour
and independence of our country. Penetrated with
this lively fentiment, I have acceded to the honour-
able order of the Diet, which has nominated me your
Chief. I am convinced beforehand that on every
potlible occafion, you will lighten, by your confidence
and gond conduet, the difficult and important duties
of that employment. I fhallsreceive with the moR
fincere gratitude, every proof of your attachment for
rte, and I !hall do all in my power to merit them.—
Bin I declare to you at the fame time, with firmnefs,
that in order to maintain the good order which the
whole country exalts and expeas from us, I shall
ratite every difobedience, every diforder, every re-
eptifition contrary to the rules, and every premedi-
tated injury, to be fought for and punifhed. Friends
and comrades, this is the moment to thew that the
Suifs are Rill worthy of their name ; that we have
not degenerated from the fpirit of our anceßors, and
that we feel anew very profoundly, that in fraternity
contiffi our power, and in union our force. If you
are animated with thefe fentiments, the GOD of our
fathers will foitify your arms for the combat ; he will
watch over your families, and will accompany you
with his benedilions. And your children and de-
fcendants will Rill enjoy the fruits of your valour and
your fidelity."

The Eledoral Prince of Bavaria, who has (pent
about four weeks at Laufanne, on the arrival of a
courier from Wurtzburgh, immediately prepared
• every thing for his departure ; and, we are informed,
that he is already on his way to Wurtzburgh to meet
his father, the Eleftor Palatine and of Bavaria.
The militai y arrangements of the Helvetic League,
for guarding their frontier, are proceeding with great
aEliitty, the better to infure our neutrality. Rein-
{cid, Laufenburgh, Schafhoufen, 'Stein, and the
principal
paffes in the Grifon country are already

occespoeci. It is auctteu that tome corps de relieve will
