The capitulation of Demarara and Efrequibo has
already been given in this Paper. The terms on
which Ber hice furrendered, are given at length in our
fubk spent columns.
_ _

The capture of the French and Dutch poffeflions
cannot but prove fattsfattory, not.only to our com-
mercial men, but even to the inhabitants of the colo-
niesthemfelves, who will now be fupplied by the
former, with thofe European necefftries from which
they were cut off by the war, while, at the fame
time, they will enjoy the privilege of trading with
the Britilh fettlements, a right which they could not
'otherwife potrefs. To all this let us add, that by en•
joying the proteCtion of a free Government, they are
lived ftom French etatlions.

We have received Dutch Papers to the 17th infl.
From what they are allowed to make public, we may
infer the deranged date of the Dutch finances. In.
dzed they make no fecret of the deficiency being.
great, and it is pretty plainly intimated that vigorous
meafures will fpeedily be retorted to, to extort the
money wanted fur the execution of the prajedts of
France.

Here we fee the reafon of Hambnrgh and the
Hanfc towns being threatened lk ith a French loan,
or in other words, a lawlefs requifition. France,
which was to occation the ruin of this country by
the expellee we lhould be obliged to fubmit to by
bring forced into a war, having eshaulled her own
finances, and thole of her allies, carried off every
thing that could be tranfported from Hanover, has
so longer any means left for maintaining her armies
but by extorting money from weak and belplefi
States.

The refinement to which the French carry their
extortions in Italy is worthy of notice. There are
About fifteen thoufand troops in the March of An-
cona and Kingdom of Naples. They are in the pay
of the King of the latter country, who iffnes to their
Commander in Chief tl:c neceffery ditburfements
f•r that purpofe in
.I;•)grie. It might now he fuppofed
thi, money is re.itined in the ; that for the
m u 1; ..;‘otting, &c. it finds its way back
again into circulation ; and thu,bchcfits in fome fmall
degree the community which fupports them. But
no fuck thing ! The Commander in Chief pays thole
men in Ilcu (French paper), yllich he compels—at
the point of the bayonet—;he %%retched inhabitants of
the country in take in payment for their bread, their
wine, their meat, the produce of their looms, in fhort,
for every article neceffAry to the fupport of fuch an
army. And this the Great Nation calls Alliance and
ProteCifm.

We fubjoin an interefling article from the fiague,
with forne other extrans worthy of attention :
HAGUE, Nov. 14.—Very dilagrecable fubjeets of
deliberation are accumulated to the Legiliatire Body
in corifequence of the prefent circun:illances. Befides
being occupied with a painful drieuffion on the means
Of providing for the expences of a new year of war,
they have lately been obliged to turn their attention
to the mcafore4 alre tdy adopt:d for railing the funds
neeelTrt v ior defrayiag the expences of the arms•
merits the I'4-OZ:It year. The extraordinary con-
triloition of two per cent. on property, decreed laft
fummer, as yet produced a fum very far below
whpt G-o:•crnrent expeeted, and very inadequate to
the wants of the moment. The receipts of the qrft
r f the four periods, as far a: they were known to
Government at the beginning of laft week, have
c )nrificcd o.l:rn u f the evil, and of the neecifity of
ut delay, the cor.cithence of the
Cody to apply A remedy, Wigiell it did on 11

proportioned to the abi:lty of the inh ihitants, and
thinks the chief caufe of the deficit is the dillance of
the period for taking the oath prefc:ibcd for con-
firming the exaChiefs of the payment, after it is
completed, as well as for removing all d:subts that
might arife in the execution of the laid law which
requires the oath. It has therefore propofed to the
Legiflative Body "to remind in the moll expref mari-
ner the contributors of their duty, and to allow them
to make up for their negled at the fecond term of pay-
ment; to exaft the oath after that period, and to caufe
it to be repeated at the fourth or IA term of payment;
to proceed againft thole who ref:tfe to take the oath,
either by perfonal arrell, the fequalration of pro-
perty, or other means judged proper by Government,
for tfecuring the public treafury from 10E. :—while
perfons who, after thee meafitres, (hall perfill in re-
filling the oath, (hall be confidered as not hating
paid any thing at all ; but without prejudice to fuch
farther and more efficacious difpofitions as the law
may order, in regard to difirifts which, at the end of
the fecond term of payment, may have fill been
found wanting in their obligation, notwithflanding
their having taken the oath." Thefe propofitions re-
ceived on the gth, the approbation of the Legiflative
Body, in a fecret fitting.
Another remarkable deliberation of the Legifla-
tive Body, which took place on the 28th ult. in ano-
ther fecret fitting, has alto been made public. The
object of it was to favour, during the war, the trade
of neutral bottoms, under the Swedifh flag. The
Legiflative Body approved the fame day, the propo-
fal of Government " for fufpending till t 8 months
after peace with Great Britain, the ordinance of the
States General, dated December 5, 1748, which
forbids the fubjeds of the Crown of Sweden to im-
port into this Republic, on board their own, or fo-
reign (hips freighted on their account, any merchan-
dize, %inters they are the produltions of Sweden or of
its Colonies." It is to be regretted that the new
Maritime Code, efablifhed between Sweden and
England by their late Convention, may deprive our
Republic of the fruit of this concefllon.
Hemovaa, Nov. 6.—A1l the horfes in the city have
been marked, in order, if necetlkry, to be ufed with.
out diftindiun. It is laid that so field pieces will be
immediately conveyed from hence to Nienburg.
Nov. 7.—A great quantity of artillery has been
conveyed from Hameln, on the Wefer, to Nienburg:
it is indeed raid, that the French will entrench them.
(elves very flrongly at Nienburg, and that fix regi-
ments of the !Wave Army will come thither from
France.

On the fide of Fort St. George, at Hameln, the
French are railing a new work : it was deligned in
the plan of the filmes, but never executed.
Nov. B.—A Hanoverian Officer, who has enlifled
about so men for England, was attacked the night
of his intended departure, in the neighbourhood of
Haarburg, by a French troop, and making a defpe-
rate refiftance, was feverely wounded, and at laft kill-
ed. Ten of his recruits are Paid to be taken, and
the raft to have efcaped.
Another convoy, of +8 cannons, went yeflerday in
waggons to France t many were not bored.
A Hanoverian Captain is to be tried at Nienburg
before a Court-martial for recruiting for England.
Some fay that the half of the French army will
thortly return to France : other reports affirm, that
they will concentrate themfelves in Lauenbnrg, eva-
cuating all the ►ei of the country, after they have
received a contribution of two millions : all this wants
confirmation.

Balms, Nov. T.—Princes LOUISA of Fru(Ea,
Princefs RAurtvtl., is happily delivered of a daughter.
Princes A IN• of Sweden has continued her
journey to Sweden, where her Royal High:leis pro-
pores to Ray two years.

and Baron von Lurzow, Mecklenburgh Schwerin
Minifter, are arrived here lately.
Nov. S.—Lieutenant•General von BISCUOFFSWER-
ore is lately deceafed. The Duller. of CouaLaso
is arrived here.

COPfis H ACZN, Nov, 5..—Report lays, that the Swe-
diffi Government has prohibited the importation of
all airlift books into Sweden, which meafitre is
owing to its difpleafure at the imprudent language
of tome periodical writings here.
It is affirmed, that a fpiritual department, under
the direaion of the Dues of AUGDSTENSURG, was
decreed in the Council of yeflerday, as far as relates
to the putting of the organization of every thing re-
lating to the church and public feminariea, under the
care of this department.
Their SWEDISH MAJESTIES will, as is furpofed, in
their return from Germany, pats through Copcn

The thiee Englith men of war, which lay at Elfi.
neur, arc failed with all the (hips of their nation to
the North Sea. The many forms, during the laR
week, have done much damage in the Categat and
Baltic, and we have already skews of fevetaCihips
being wrecked.
The expeltation that the 14ockade of the Elbe and
'efer would increafe the importation of all kinds of
articles to this capital, has not been fulfilled : on the
contrary, the great purchafes which hive (teen rn; ter
in the Baltic for Englifn account, have increated the
pr:re of corn and all provifims very considerably.
