FROM VIE GRAVENHAAGSEH COURANT, DEC. 11. •
GRAVENHAGE, DECEMBER 9.

The Government continues to receive from all sides
the most essential proofs of the patriotic love of their
officers, and of their attachment to their Sovereign,
his Royal Highness. A laudable instance of this
has been given a few days since by Mr. Bourcourd,
appointed receiver of the public duties at Rotterdam,
by his generous offer made to the War Department,
of sending to the army of his Royal Highness one
man and horse, to be kept at his eipensei and
which offer has been accepted by the Government,
with thanks to the patriotic zeal of the giver.
We learn that a vessel is arrived here front liar.

been offered by the Burghers of that city for the de-
fence of our native country. They are accompa-
nied by three respectable Burghers, who have volun-
tarily come forward to fight for their Country and
Orange.
CULENBERG, DECEMBER :a

This day was a day of general joy for all the inha-
bitants of the city. The Arms of Orange displayed,
proved the double joy and attachment felt towards
their Sovereign. The fulfilment of their most heart-
felt wishes was the victorious shout of Orange!"
The number of Burghers who were under arms for
the protection of peace and order in the town, In the
tumult which is in some measure unavoidable on
every great change of affairs, and contributed so
greatly to the general tranquillity, the Officers hav-
ing repaired in a body to his Excellency the Gene-
ral Von Oppen, to par their respects, and at the same
time to offer their assistance, and request his Excel-
lency% co-operation in the aforesaid duty, met with
such a happy reception, that his Excellency not only
expressed his approbation thereof, but likewise decla-
red he would honour the performance with his pre-
sence. After a procession in state, and amidst the
repeated plaudits of all the inhabitants, the flag was
placed on the gates.
The General, in an affecting speech., admonished
the :armed burghers to proceed in their zealous efforts
for protecting peace and good order, and likewise
to chew, on their parts, that they would contribute,
with their utmost power,, to keep this beloved flag
always flying.
This speech was attended with repeated huzzahs,

occurrence. After which they left the Church, with
the bells ringing, and spent the remainder of the day
in suitable and decent rejoicings.
[The same Paper contains a long Proclamation,
issued by the Prince of Orange, Sovereign Prince of
the United Netherlands, dated at the Hague Dec. 7,
abolishing all the French Decrees and Prohibitions
relative to the Customs, and restoring, in their stead,
the former constitutional Duties and Regulations.)

The following letter, from an .01Ecer of his Ma-
jesty's ship Wmtaioa, describes, with interesting mi-
nuteness, the voyage of the Prince of OItANGE from
the Downs to his own xountry :

•• His Majesty's ship Warrior, Norris Seas, Dcc. 4.
I' On Tuesday, the 26th of November, his Serene
Nighrsess William Frederic. Prince of .Orange, em-
barked on board his Majesty's ship Warrior, com-
manded by Lard Viscount Torrington, to return.' to
his native country, and to assume the station and ho-
nours of his forgathers. At two p. m. he entered
Vice-Admiral Foley's barge, fitted in state, and was
preceded by Lord Viscount Torrington, to arrange
his public reception ou board. His Lordship and all
the. Officers were equipped in full uniform, and
mounted the Orange .cockade and ribband, in honour
of the Pcince. A .field-officer's guard was drawn out
on the quarter-deck. At three o'clock his Highness
ascended the quarter-deck, and returned the salute of
every Officer in the most gracious manner. His
I contemns and engaging eatri, and theplacid mildness
of his countenance, strongly prepossessed all hands in
his favour. Every one exclaimed—" Such a Prince
must rule in the hearts of his subjects l" His High-
ness was followed by General Von T. I.eel, Baron
Perponcher, Major Fagel, and Mr. Ragay, his suite;
and Lord Uancarty, the British Ambassador, and
suite, Messrs. Hoppnerr and Gunning. The Orange
flag was hoisted at the main, and saluted by the
Warrior (now placed under the Prince's direction),
and all his Majesty's ships in the Downs, with '2l
Wns ; the latter firing alter the discharge of tie
arrior's second gun. On the 27th, at day-light,
the ship weighed, with the wind at S.E. which car-
ried her through the Gull-stream, after which the
ship was obliged to work to windward. On Sunday
evening, Admiral YonnWs fleet was seen, and the
Warrior approached sufficiently near to communicate
to him by telegraph, that his Serene Highness was
on board; but darkness supervened, and.the telegra-
phic answer of " No news" was deferred to the fol-
lowing morning. The wind continued unfavourable;
the tide made so strong against us that it was deem-
led prudent to anchor during the night. On Monday,
the 20th, the ship weighed at day-light, by his Serene
Highness's order. At eight a. m. perceived a frigate
(which proved to be the Nymphen. Capt.* Hancock)
in-shove, with the Dutch colours flying over the
French. Lieutenant Macdonald reported the circum-
stance to Lord Torrington, while his Highness was
seated with him at breakfast, and observed that the
Prince smiled with much evident satisfaction—no
doubt from the pleasing idea the fact excited, the
triumph of the Dutch national spirit of independence
over French despotism and military oppression.
46 The ship anchored at night, and on Tuesday,
the 30th, weighed at day-tight, and soon discovered
*land, his Majesty's ships Cumberland, Princess Caro-
line, and the Raven brig. The ship worked to wind-
ward fast, and brought us in sight of Schevling, the
Hagne, and other towns on the coast. At twelve,
the Cumberland telegraphed 66 Good news," and
shortly afterwards a Dutch pilot exultingly exclaimed,
" that he saw the orange flag hoisted on all the
steeples and boats," which was the signal established
between his Highness and the shore, and denoted se-
curity. Captain Parker of the Cumberland, gave in-
formation, that the Brill was held by the enemy, at
which place his Highness was particularly anxious to
land, from its being considered the cradle of the li-
berty the Dutch established in 1572, when they de-
nounced the Spanish dominion.
64 At two o'clock, frays. a boat was sent on shore
to announce the Prince's arrival ; at three p. as. his
Highness was ready to disembark, and was received
with the same honours on the quarter-deck as at his
entrée ; he saluted every individual most graciously,
shook hands cordially with Lord Torrington twice,
as he conveyed to him his most grateful thanks for
Ms attention, accommodation, and hospitality ; and
the various emotions which agitated his mind were
evinced by the tear drop of joy which fell as he went
over the side.

64 A royal salute was fired as the Prince and suite
pulled from the ship • three cheers were given and
returned from the boat, on which the cheers front the
ship were repeated. s the barge, steered by Lieu-
tenant Kains, senior Lieutenant of the Warrior ad-
vanced close to the shore at Schevling, the thach
people waded to to their neck: to haul the boat to the
shore, amidst the hearty huzzas and acclamations of
the numbers assembled from all parts to receive him.
On landing, his Highness was greeted with the wildest,
most natural, and sincere marks of joy and pleasure.
AU approached without ceremony to shake hands and
touch their Prince and his suite. From Schevling to
the Hague there was a continual concourse of
interrupting their progress by their sincere and .%:;1-
intended congratulations ; thehearts of all were at-
tuned,
and thrilled with joy. Illuminations, bonfires,
and fire-works, attested the general joy at the Hague.
Duripg,his Highness's stay on board, he walked
much on the quarter-deck, and talked freely with all,
occasionally, but was generally engaged in conversa-
tion with Lords Clanearty and Torrington. His ez-
treme condescension interested all" on board. He was
particularly anxious not to give trouble : he inquired
for the Dutch Pilots on board, and was amused with
the free conversation he had with them. Apparently
possessed of every good quality, PROVIDENCE has re-
stored him to ensure the happiness of nolland. Lord
Tonington waited on the Prince at the Hague on
Tuesday, where he was mote graciously received,
and• again received the grateful expressions of the
Prince, for his attention during the time he had the '
pleasure of being his vest."

Neer did our illustrious WELLINGTON appear be
fore the enemies of his country in a prouder or more
formidable attitude than that in which we now prtsect
him to our Readers. His proclamation on entering
France, is a proud monument of our national honnlr
—it is .a noble record of the generous emotions whick
animate the Allies in their exertions for the deliver-

ante of Europe. It breathes precisely that spirit of
peace and good-will towards the French nation. whict.
in other times would have dethroned such a tyrikiat at
BONAPARITI sooner than a thousand victories obtain-
ed aver his armies.
