we lhould publilh the-searone on which the Judges
who thought that theKruo had the right of guardian-

fupported the opinion they gave, we this day iofcrt
that of Judge Foavactass. The Report of the Con-
sirfation or Speeches of the Judges in their chamber
is by Forrascus, and certainly is a very bad report;
but as he had time to resife and Write out his own
opitsioo, be gives that at length. The rat} are !hog
and nufatisfaaory.

malign another part pf this Paper.

A private letter from Hamburgh, Rates, that Bo-
ra intended to fet out immediately after Chria-
mas, to vifit his army on the coati, accompanied by,
all thofe apmeroqr military deputies from the army
of the line, as well as from the National Guards, in.
'lied to Peri! for his Coronation, and defined to
invade this country. They were to carry with them
all thofe Itandards and eagles received from Bo-
Naraara, and confecrated by the Pore, and which
they had. by a voluntary agrownent, forum to plant
on the Britith Chore, or to perint in the attempt.

According to a private letter from the Hague, of
the tflth inflant, the fpirit of difeontent in the Bata-
vian Republic, againa their French tyrants, has at fall
broken out, in ails of violence, in feveral towns and
villages. At Amllerdam, Rotterdam, and Bois le
Duc, French officers and foldiers, found in the
*nets after dark, have been thrown into the canals
by the people. Several cf them have been drowned,
and when walking out during the day they have
met with infu,lts or threat, which they have relent-
ed with imprifoaments or fines. At Maflandfleigs,
(even French foldiers, with a Serjeant on duty
in the Corps de Guard on the banks of the Meufe,
have difappeared, and are fuppofed to have been
thrown into that river by the fithermen of that vil-
lage, which is reduced to beggary fince the war. A
report was current cn the 17th, that as loon as the
French troops fhall receive a reinforcement of twenty,
thoufand men, laid to be on diet' march from the
army on the coaft, the moll perulous cities will be
declared in a Rate of liege. Many apprehend that
II , in his fury, will proclaim even the whole
republic to be under martial law. The Batavian troops,
though more numerous than the French, have hi-
therto remained quiet fpetlatnrs; but an addrefs to
them, written in fpiritcd language by runic unknown
'salon, who calls on them to aflift in delivering their
country frrm its foreign yoke., has made agreat
im-
prefLon, and feveral duck have been the confequence
between than and the French. Gen. Vtunost.a has
been obliged to feparate the troops of the two nations,
bo:h at Haerlem and Utrecht, by fending them to
different quarters. ft is hid, that the Ea:avian Di-
rellors forced to refign by St isonvit.t.s, have entered
a protefl, which this agent of Bo prevented
from belts; printed and dill'ibuted.
