Since our lan, Come Dutch and German Journals,
and Come of the minor French Papers have arrived.
The moll important of there journals is a fet of the
Gazette to the 2111 ult. inclufive.

The principal point of intelligence combined in
thefe Gazettes, yelped* an Expedition of tome
im-
portance, which has failed from the Texel, under the
(command of General as IMPELS, and which feems
to be intended rather to reinforce Come of the French
or Dutch fettlements, than to attempt any awe
lenterprize. The manner in which this Expedition
efcaped from Port is worthy of remark :—it efcaped
(hip by fhip ; the 101 l veffel of the Expedition failed
the ,4th ult. The force is Rated to confiß of four
frigates, with feveral tranfports ; the troops are all
picked men, and the-Rorer had been previoufly fent
off in American bottoms hired for the purple. The
place of rendezvous is Rated to be the He of France.
LGeneral Itistsolzs, the Commander in Chief, is a
man of great military (kill, and we fhould conceive
the final objea to be of tome importance, were it
only from the circurnflance of his appointment. The
Dutch Government fpared no effort to keep the very
failing of the Expedition fecret. An Embargo was
laid upon all the Batavian ports, and the molt vigi-
lant attention direded even to the Ming boat*. We
will not at prefent exprefs our opinion upon the ulti
mate objet of this enterprize : we will content our-
felves with exprefling our confidence as to the fafety
of the Cape. The expedition of General CRAUFURD
has happily anticipated that of General DA€WD€LS.

Das wort.s, who is at the head of this expedition,
is the General who commanded the right wing of
the French and Dutch army, during the Duke of
YORK'S attempt to penetrate into the interior of Hol-
land from the Helder. It was DAIRDRLS who, at the
head of a detachment of troops and artillery. entered
the Batavian Affembly, and changed the Govern.
ment.

A letter from the Hague, contained in one of the
above Papers, mentions a molt ridiculous pafrage ; it
is Rated that BONAPARTE, previonfly to a late attack
on the Ruffians, commanded his army to make a
folemn paufe, upon which he came forth to the centre
of his front line, and throwing himfelf on his knees,
made a folemn declaration that he fought only lot
Peace; and that if fitayse would grant him the
final vioory, he would reftore his kingdom to the
King of PRUSSIA, and give the moll moderate terms
to the Emperor ALEXANDIR ! We do not believe
that BONAPARTIt is much_given to thefe kind of frisks,
but have noticed the circumflance, becaufe, being
contained in the Hague Gazette, it exprefres the ge.
neral fentiment of the people of Holland.

No mention is made in any of there journals of the
reported battle on the 6th of February, but private
letters from Rotterdam and the Hague, of the illth
and 19th, Rate, that a rumour of a vietory obtained
by the French, had prevailed for two or three days,
but had been contradicted by authority. The Em-
peror Nevoe.smi, it is alfo Paid, had fuddenly repaired
to Berlin, whence he was about to proceed towards
the coati, to forward the ;ovation of Swedith Fume-
rani*. This latter Ratement we think highly impro-
bable.

An American veffcl which has arri►ed in the River
from Fluffing, brings an account of intelligence ha,-
ittg arrived there from the feat of war in Poland,
about the beginning of laft week, which had caufed a
great fenfation among the con fiituted authorities along
the coati, but nothing had been fuffered to tranfpire
further than that there had been a battle fince that of
the 25th of January, attended with confiderable
flarglitcr, but it was not coufidered decifivc.
