HOLLAND.

Buist.touc, Meacrt 4.—The water at prefent
running over the Ilintemer paved-w•ay, has been
produaive of fcveral accidents. In particular, a
poll-coach getting off the road was overfet, and
the paffengcrs, alter much difficulty, raved their
awes by climbing up to the top part of the vehicle.
Within thefe ten days the water has increafed eight
feet; and is an i ved at fuch an unufual height, that
boats pafs over the dykes to Bommel. _ _

AMSTERDAM, MARCH B.—lt is reported, that
the very affluent merchant Mr. Hors, is about to
return to this city. It were alto to be wifhed, that
thole times returned with him, in which he was
enabled to give his principal book-keeper an an-
nual Wary of 20,c0u florins : then thould we no
longer be aflonifhed at a Member of the Govern-
ment's pocketing 12,000 per year ! The Prince's
birth•day has been generally, and joyoutly held
to-day—in private : the effects of it, however,
were vilible in the flreets towards evening ; and
many who did not drink his health on that occa-
faun obferved, that they had no objection to that
aft in thole who chofe to do fn.

HAGUE, MARCH 94.--M. VON TR E /MOOR F, as
Commiffioner from the Prinie of Wasolca, ar-
rived here a few days fine, without having how-
ever any public character.

Thurfday Lift the following perfons were ap-
pointed Members of the Admiralty—j. W. BRAN r-
ZEN, J. A. CLICNITT, OLIVIER ROM. J. SCHELTE.
MA, J. A. SCHOLL', F. SIRPRIS, and Secretary
Citizen C. Wzzazas.

A part of the French garrifon lying here receiv-
ed this week paffpurts of departure, and arc al.
ready let out for their native country. It is fup-
poled that they are not to be replaced by others.
There is no talk at prefent of the negotiations
of Citizen Hotrrams, at Berlin. It is thought
that thefe will chiefly depend on the iffue of the
journey of the Hereditary Prince of ORANGS to
Paris. The Conlon of the late STADTHOLDER if
expefted to leave England in the fpring ; from
whence the is to proceed to Orangeflein.
The 28th ult. the Governor of State accorded
the tax of 4 per cent. on the poffeflions, and t 6
per cent. on the inct.mes of certain dares of the
people, to be paid in equal portions during the
eight fucceeding years, for ma!eing good the in-
tereft of the recent loan of 30 millions. In order
to make fore work of it, fcarcely are but beggars
are exempted.
A great number of the new regulations which
had been adopted in feveral of our cities, with and
alter the Rcvolution,have of late been abandoned,
and the old ufages re-eflablifhed, which has been
partly occasioned by the fuccellive changes of men,
and partly from the inadequacy and imperfection
of the new inftitutions. All, howver, has not
yet Ahmed its old complexion for yefterday, the
Bth of March, the people of this country tiled to
celebrate the birth-day of William the Fifth.—
The general joy was proclaimed by the thunder-
ing of cannon, the flapping of Orange flags and
dreamers, the wearing of Orange cockades and
top-knots, and illuminations and fire-works. The
poets drained Parnatfus for eulogies and odes on
that occation. Of all this there is no trace at
prefent. William is vanilhed, and with him, the
celebration of his nativity.
The amicable reception of the Hereditary Prince
of ORANGE by BONAPAILTI, affords the friends
of his hook the moft flattering hopes : and they
imagine, that fhould even the Firft Magiltrate in
France become the firtt man here too, he will be
polite enough to appoint the young Prince his Lord
Lieutenant.

The relloration of the Orange family to their
dignities in this country, would meet little, if any,
oppofition on the part of the patriotic party, the
Revolutionifts excepted. with thofe abettors of
anarchy who compored the Flying Army of 1787.
And if the oppredive laws to wh:ch the Catholics
were liable, continue refcinded as at prefent, there
is no doubt but the dear bought experience of the
kpail, would loon render the future tranquil t'Ad
