We have received letters and journals from Holland 1
to the 10th instant. From the latter we have given a
Treaty just concluded between France and Holland,
and a Decree of King Louts, giving sanction to the
new cessions. By this Treaty the whole of Zealand,
Dutch Brabant, &c. &c. are united to France ; Hol-
land agrees to maintain a navy of nine ships of the
line, six frigates, and one hundred gun-boats, which
is to be at the disposal of France—and an army of
12,000 Dutch, and 6000 French troops, which is to
be employed in defending the rivers and coasts of that
country against contraband adventurers from Eng-
l.•and. But the article of most consequence to foreign
powers in this Treaty, is that which relates to Ame-
rim From this we have an authentic specimen of
the manner in which BONAPARTE treats the United
States. He places under sequestration not only the
American merchandize which has reached the ceded
provinces of Holland, but that too which has been
imported into the rest of the United Provinces,since the
beginning of 1809. All this is to be made over to him
as a pledge for the submission of America—" in
order," as the Treaty states, " to his disposing thereof
according to the state of his relations" with that country.
—Now, though this is, abstractedly considered, infi-
nitely villainous, yet is there a retributive kind of
justice in it upon the American Government, at which
we cannot refrain from smiling. It will he recollected
that our trans-Atlantic brethren demanded of us that
Holland should be considered as an independant
State—as a non-belligerent, not subject to the laws
of blockade, but with whom neutrals had an unre-t
stricted right to trade. These are the fruits of their
rational position : we give them joy.
The Princess Charlotte packet, arrived at Falmouth
from Lisbon, left the latter port on the 3d instant, and
has brought dispatches to Government, announcing
that a division of the enemy had made its appearance
at St. Felices,.to the northward of Almeida, where it
came in contact with the advanced post of the British
Army, consisting of the 95th regiment, commanded
by Lieutenant-General I3EcKwtru, brother to the gal-
Lint General of that name serving in the West Indies.
The British, attacking the enemy with great vigour,
drove them back with considerable loss. Irt the pur-
suit the enemy had two Officers killed, and a number
of men killed and wounded ; in all, about 600. The
loss in killed and wounded on the part of the British
was comparatively inconsiderable. A Lieutenant was
killed, and a few men killed and wounded. Theenemy
ultimately fell back upon the main body of their army.
Their object seemed to be, to ascertain the number
and situation of the British forces in that quarter, pre-
vious to making a general attack.
Private letters represent the French army as in a
very sickly condition, and in want of sustenance, in con-
sequence of the country people on the frontiers having
driven the cattle, buried the corn, and burnt the
straw. The British head-quarters are stated to be at
Guarda.

We have received German papers to the 4th inst.
but their contents are of little interest. It is reported
on the Continent that a Commercial Trzaty has been
concluded at Paris between the French and Dutch
Plenipotentiaries, on the basis of the Imperial Decree
of the 16th September, 1808 ; in consequence of
which the exportation of colonial cemmodit;es from
Holland to France has been permitted.

By the Continental Journals we learn, that the once
powerful kingdoms of Navarre and Biscay, in Spain,
besides the district on the French side of the Ebro,
bare been annexed to France by an Imperial Decree,
and that French Governors were daily expected in
these Provinces.
