DUTCH MAIL.

HAGUE, APRIL I s.—After the arrival of a cou-
rier, dispatched from London by our Ambalrador
at that Court, Government gavc orders to Vice
Admiral Ha RTSIN it to fail for the Mediterranean,
where he is to fuceeed Admiral Ds Wurrea. A
part rf the (hips which we have at Lilbon will join
thefquadron of Vice Admiral FIRRTSISR.

The Englilh Ihips of the line, which were cruix-
ing at the mouth of uur rivers, have been fucceeded
by a certain number of frigates, and tome cutters.
The troops which were on board the transports,
farming part of the expedition to Louifiana, had,
for certain reafons not known to the public, been
ordered to difembark = and for feveral days this
d.fembarkation was carried into execution, but it
11 is fince been fufpended, and this circumliance is
confidered as favourable to the continuation of
peace : The troops, however, already difembarked
remain on (pore, and have been dißributeJ in dif-
ferent cantonments. It is probable they will be
again embarked, if the public conjeaures are re.
alined.

We learn from Ratilbon, that in confequence of
a Convention, figned by the Minifier of the Duke
of Oldenbourg, and the Minifiers of the Mediating
Powers, at the Diet, the toll of Elsfietr will Rill
be maintained for ten years, at the expiration of
which it will be definitively fuppreffed.
Aran. 16.—General LACUS, Aide-de Camp of
the FIRST CONS UL, fet off yellerday morning on
his return to Paris ; but the object of his million
is not known. The fame day Government re-
ceived difpatcbes from the Batavian Ambalrador
at Paris, the contents of which are raid to be of a
peaceable nature.
This day a great number of packages, with fur-
niture for the Englilit Ambatlador, arrived here
from London; they were all unpacked, and con-
veyed to his Excellency's hotel in the Voorhout.
The preparations at this hotel, which had been for
force time fufpended, are now reformed.

ITALY, MAtCH 28.—According to tome ac-
counts
from Naples and Leghorn, feveral Englifh
!hips of war of the fleet of Admiral BICK ER TON
have made their appearance off thofe ports ; as al-
fo off the Morea. The report that the Englifh had
taken poffeffion of Naples and Leghorn, and that
feveral French (hips dellined for thofe ports had
returned without entering them, is without foun-
dation, as is alto the report that the French fleet
was in full fail for the Morea.
VIENNA, APR I L 6.—We have a report here, that
an alarming infurrettion has broken out in Con-
flantinople, and that that City is in the greateff
confufion. Of the foundation and particulars of
this report we have as yet no further advices.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Matta, ts.—The Porte has
received advice by feveral Couriers, that an unex-
peeled Revolution has begun in Arabia, of which
one Abdul Mechab is at the head. He has collec-
ted a great number of Partizans from the envi-
rons of Mecca, and the interior of that extenfive
country, and by his fanatical delufions, has pro-
cured a great number of vagabonds and wander-
ing Arabs to join his armed troops. His doarine
tends to overthrow the prefent Religious Conaitu-
lion of Arabia and Turkey. He teaches, that the
prefent Mahometans are bafe and wicked, the ene-
mies of GOD and Man ; that the GUIPID Sticps tog,
who refides at Conilantinople, has ufurped the
facred and heavenly dignity of fovereign Calf ;
and that it is the duty of his followers to put to
death, without pity, all who acknowledge him as
fuch ; as that belief is contrary to the facred doc-
trine of Ala, he declares that he will immediately
advance to take polfeflioa of the cities of Mecca
and Medina.

The maffacres required by Abdul Mechab have
already begun with incredible fury ; and the Par-
tizans of the prefent eflablifhed religion are flying
on all fides to efcape this terrible perfecution. The
army of this blood•thir'ly leader of fanatics is ad-
vancing with hatly 'lrides towards Mecca. The
Porte waits with anxiety for more circumaantial
advice: of this unexpeCted Revolution.
