DUTCH PAPERS.

We have received Dutch papers to the 6th• inft.
from which the following arc eztraas :

NCH 1 MK. jam. 6.

At Flufhing, the inhabitants begin to think more
ferionfly than ever, that the expedition againft Eng.
land is Rena,. on the point of taking place. If the
Englifh depend on the accounts which they pnblifh
of the fmail force which is on the Costa, they will
find themfelves egregioufly delltived. The Hand of
Waleheren is, as it were, covered with troops, And
where the Filter Googol. is daily expelled. General
Moan syshas of late daily received and difpatched

Couriers from and to Paris and the Hague. The
Commanjant of the Artillery, General La MAIM
is arrived, and the troops are partially embarked, so
men of each Company, to accullom them to a lea-
faring life ; and this mode of embarkation is eaten-
ded to the whole corps by turns. In the fcveral barons
at Fluthing there are no lets than goo vcfTels, deftined
to take on board from 12 to 15,000 men. It is
thought that the van will be in a condition to fail in
a few days. The number of troops which the FIRST
CONSUL has to infped on the Coatis. amounts to no
Ilefs than soo,ooo men, all deflined for embarkation.
Gen. Moamar, Commander in Chief of the Army in
Zealand, is indefatigable in hallening the prepara-
tions, in'confequence of repeated and pofitive orders
received from his Government to-that end.

If any doubt exifled as to the failing of the expe-
dition, it would be done away by the confideration,
that the Ports and B#fons on the Coats are all fo
crowded with veffels, that•there is no room left for
thofe which are yet to arrive. before a part of the
grand armament is committed to the ocean and to
fate.

AMSTERDAM, JAN. 4.

The merchants of this city have opened a fubfcrip-
tion, the produce of which is intended to relieve the
poor, whom the Ragnation of trade has left without
work. They are allowed to go and warns thensfelves
in a place which has been opened for that purport,
where a great fire is kept. The crank of cannon,
mufkets, and piftols through our Republic is prohi-
bited. The old tariff of cultism duties is continued
for the next year. We learn that the Englilh have
detached feveral reffels of the fquadron which block-
ades the Teed, t* reinforce the Channel Fleet. The,
guard•fhip at the Texel bruke from her anchors about
three days ago, and drove upon feveral Nets in the
Road, which it has much damaged—the fhip herfelf
has (offered very much ; fortunately, no lives were
loft. There is no fcnfible variation in our funds.—
Colonial produce. except Coffee, appears to be on
the decline.

Kadin. in the year 1799, on board of which was a
Greek BAN, and his fuite, and of which no news
had been received. has been 101 l at fea, as is proved
by the pieces of wreck found on different Wands.
