FROM THE FRINCIt AND DUTCH PAPERS.

MADRID, DEC. 3.—War with England is now ca.
tain. Government has put under fcqueftration all
the money which the Englifh have to claim on our
merchants; and various meafures, indicative of bar
tiliiies, are ordered to be taken in our ports. This
blow was r nly wanting to put the finintiog firoke to
our commerce. The vile/ are fallen to 35 ; our courle
of exchange is at a aand; and there is no trade car-
rying on.

BARCELO.4 As Nov. :B.—The Englifh continue to
capture our (iiips in there waters, and fuller nuthing
to .sppe odd) our ports. _ _

DEC. 3.— The Englifh have eaptnred three Spanifh
(hips richly laden near Gibraltar, from the Havan-
nalt, and fent them into Portfmntith.

SCMIEnAM, Dec. 26.—We have been requentd to
itilat the following Adverlifcment -
" From AmfterJam.

" The Government of the Batavia!' Republic, in purfuance of
the tr meri,tl ::w.teaee, of the comics of good order, had, by its
Tr, tree of Novem er tit laft, announced by Author:ty, eudea.
volt-rd to reduce the chief command «f the li4ravian troops, con.
}Wei by mate. to the French General in Chief : but being arter-
y irds coil • az 1 of their i,bliptiotts, as well as the interelt of
this country, little ittinol ited by the private pal:lions of fume
of their welt-MIOWII fellow citizens, have battened to give the
Frt. tich General in Chid the moll ample and inoft tout, icuous fa-
ttsfaction, by n•fciuding the Decree fief peffed, as appears by the
fol:ow'htg extrselect froin the Res:liter of the r;ovcrn•
mem of the Latsvian Republic, in its extraordinary Sitting of
Wednefday the lath of December, tg :
4 On the propolitlon made to the Arembly, and for rearms
conducing thereto, it is refolved to annihilate finally, the Decree
of November 23 !att.
" •l•he Secretary of State of the War Department, is charged to
communicate this difpofition to the frpetior and other Officers of
the Bataviau army, and to iffue the neee4•ary orders for its ezccu,
tion."

We hear, that M. &NORVILLE, the French Am.
lraffitdor at the Hague, has demanded the difmiffion
of four Members of the Direflory of State, viz. A.
G. Bears, J. SPOORS, C. G. BYLEVELD, and C. H.
GOCISINGA. They have promifed to abfeut them-
felves from all deliberations in that College. It is
added, that the Secretary &MISCHA, of the Depart.
ment of Foreign Affairs, is comprehended in the Am.
ball:Lefties demand.—ifonflerdarn Courant.
2d.—The Batavian Deputation was to leave
Paris on the 28th ind. on their return to this country.
General MARMONT is fhortly cxpcded in this
Re-
public.
ROTTERDAM, Dec. 22.—Our navigation is com-
pletely interrupted by the troll, and all cur trade is
at a hand. Add to this, that very revere meafures
have been adopted again(} the Exportation of grain
to your country, or to any place from wl4nee it
may proceed thither. In (hurt, exporters are ol,liged
to fign a bond, that the corn, or any othLr kind of
grain they !hip, (hall not be landed in England in
any way whatfoever, and you will eafily perceive,
that you can expect no fupplies from our market,
either now or in the fpring, unlefs this decree be re
pealed, of which we entertain faint hopes.
DEC. 3t.—The late Decree for the prohibition of
all imports and exports from Holland is folly con-
firmed by fribfequent ads of the Dutch Government.
It is therefore necellary you fhould be informed, that
no more merchindiee of any kind from England
ought to be fent to this Country, as complete confif-
cation mull he the inevitable confequence. 1 am of
opinion, that little or no communication will be held
with England during the winter months.
PSTERIBURGH, Dec. 1.—..F0r 101112 time pall poli-
tics have been defended but little here. The exchange
of coiriers, it is true, continues nearly as bride as
ever ; but all our c•efent relations with Foreign
Powers are kept a profound fecret ; fo that in the
place of truth, fi.aion is frequently fubdituted : the
report even that a confider able corps of troops was
to he affembled in our Polilh territories, feems to be
unfunded_

The Emperor has highly approved of the conduel
of Mole. D'Ousess, our late Charge d'Affaires at
Paris ; the more as he was frequently under the ne-
eel:thy of aeting without inllruElions.

STOCK HOLM, DEC. I t.—One thoufand lets of the
two firtt Works of GurrAvus 111. have been fent
to Paris.

STRALSUND, Dec. 15.—The King and Q2een of
Swami, being now recovered from the fatigue
which they lately fuffered during their unfitted-4u!
attempt to crofs over to Stockholm, begin to think
of making a fecond trial, particularly it the winter
(horrid continue mild.
MILAN. DEC. I2.—The Confurt of the Senator
Lucitis Botratarrs was tan Saturday delivered of
a daughter.
Near Burlette, in the Southern part of the king-
dom of N3p!es, a camp of ten thoufand men was
formed on a fpacious plain, confining of French, Ita-
lian, and Polifh troops. On the 18th of November
this army performed a grand manoeuvre, after which
Genera! Sr. CYR dinributed the Star of the Legion
of Honour to a great number of valiant foldiers.
Intelligence has been received here from Leghorn
to the tft inn. On the 3011) ult. no one had died of
the yellow fever. According to a lift made up by
the Commiflion of Health, 74 inhabitants had been
carried off by the yellow fever in the courfe of WI
week, and 54 the week before. The moll rigid mea-
fares of precaution continue to be taken.
RarisnoN, DEC. B.—The Dirdlorial
his Exeellency the Baron Aram, two days fence
communicated to his colleagues the fupplement of
the Treaty of Navigation, as figned at Mayence be-
tween the French Government and the Arch-Chan-
cellor, doting the Emperor's late flay there. The
mon important alteration made in the original trea-
ty, by this fupplement, is the removing of the Bu-
reaus of Privilege from Griethuizen, Thall, and
Wellmichao Lobitz, Coblentz, and Calle.
Isstaucx, Nov. t 5 the end of Sep-
umber a huntfman of Camoni was employed by M.
GEBH ARD to make an attempt to afcend to the rum-
mit of the celebrated mountain of Ortles, fituated
between the valleys of Sulden and Drofny, in the
Vintfchgar. This gigantic mountain, covered with
etetnal ice, is marked in Anich's Atlas as the high-
eft in the Tyrol. No perfon ever before ventured to
afcend it. According to M. GERHARD'S barometer,
its height is 14,406 Paris feet above the level of the
Mediterranean. Except Mont Blanc, therefore, the
elevation of which, according to M. de SAUSSURE,
is 14456 feet. Ortles is the higheft mountain of the
old Continent. Hitherto Mount Grofglockner has
been confidered as the higheft in the Tyrol, but its
height is not above taiono feet.

FRISCXFURT, DKr. M.—Letters from Ratitbon
mention the following:—" Several Slates of the
Empire have received intelligence of the fortunate
iffue of a oegociation which has been long penuing
between Auttria and Prul3ia, on the Viril votes in
the College of the Princes. Both thefe Courts have
agreed to the creation of a certain number of new
Catholic Viril votes : the number, howevir, is not
quite fo great as Ault. ia could have wilhed; but it
exceeds that to which Prufflae iu the beginning, would
merely acquicfce."
Aucsettacti, DEC. 15.—The laff accounts from
Italy announce, that the news of a rupture between
England and Spain has produced there the greatett
fenfation. All Spanith veffels have received orders
from their Court not to quit the ports in which they
at prefent ate, till they (hall be authorifed by their
Government. As the Spaniards have hitherto car-
ried on, almott exclulively, the commerce of the Le•
vant, there are many (hips of that nation in the ports
of Turkey. An avyb has, therefore, been feat front
Barcelona, by order of the Court of Madiid, to give
information of the prefent fituation of affairs. Every
where the greatell indignation is manifetted agaitilt
the Englilii.
In Sicily every thing is quiet ; there are many
Englifh agents there employed in mating concidera-
ble purchafes of provitions for fupplying the maga-
zines of Malta, from which the whole fitlet of Admi•
ral IsTaxsou derives its fubfißence. It was time time
tince aliened, that the yellow fever prevailed in that
gland; but this report, happily, is not confirmed.
Nscsom has received reinforcements in (hips of the
line and frigates, which have been fent (torn the
ports in England. He is Rationed about forty
leagues from Toulon, and watches at once the ports
of France and Spain on the coatis of the Mediterra-
nean. All Spanifh merchant (hips that he can feize
are funk, after their cargoes have been taken out.
BANKS or THE MAIN, Dec. r6.—Great apparition
is made in the new Wellphalian poffetlions of Prutlia
to the military confer iption. Formerly the inhehi-
tants of this country never raifed a tingle foldier ;
only paid a fmall fine, which was applied to the rail.-
ing of recruits. They lately difpatched a Deputa-
tion to his Pull Gan Majeßy, to make remonttrances
on this fubjeet. The Monarch received them amica-
bly, and thus addreffed them :—" You know that
Pruflia isa military government, and that its armies
can by no means be compofed entirely of foreigners.
Furnith me with the means of completing my troops
with a fufficient number of volunteers from the na-
tives, when I (hall hear your propotition with fatis-
fdlion ; but at prefcnt I mull have recourfe to the
military conrctiptik it. lam fell the frtt faldier
in my kivgdom , but it is impolflble for me to de-
fend it alone."
