DUTCH PAPERS.

IA as this Paper was going to prefs, we received
Dutch Journals of the isth. Letters of the loth
from Bruffels, Rate, that the Flits? Comsus. had
completed his infpeltion of the armaments at Bou-
logne and Calais, and probably at Dunkirk, and that
the 4th divifion of boats which had been fome time
ready to fail from the latter port, has actually joined
the large flotilla at Boulogne.
The Dutch finances are in a very embarraffed Rate.
The Citizens are very backward in paying the two
per cent. tar on property, impofed lift fummtr, and
the molt fevere meafures are about to be purfued.

Yefterday morning their Mamma, the Pim-
ca s ses, and the Duke of Canna IDG z, went in three
cc•ae' es to St. George's Chapel, Windfor, and heard
an excellent fermon by Dr. DUVALL, Canon in
Refidence, from the sit chapter of Malt, and the
1 6th verfe :
Ware r, make ye dean ; put away the evil of your doings
from More mine eyes ; ceafe to do evil.
The troops in the Eaßern Dial-ICI have now quitted
their tents for barracks, which have been very judi-
cioufly arranged, and are equally convenient as the
encampments, for collecting the troops on the molt
alrailable points of the coati. The 42d and gad re-
giments, with their referve battalions from Scotland,
are Rill at Weely, where barracks have been crated

for them. The 47th and 3oth regiments, each 2000
Prong, have marched for Woodbridge. The rapid
progrefs which the recruits of the Both regiment,
under the direction of thofe able and experienced of.
Seers, Colonel Witeitisost, and Lieutenant-Colonel
LOCKHART, have made in their drill, has aftonithed
all the Military Gentlemen who have had occafion to
fee them ; and nearly a thonfand of them have vo-
lunteered for general fervice. The regiment left
Chelmsford much regretted by the inhabitants, who
witnefred their Ready and foldier.like conduct, and
had not to complain of a tingle irregularity, though
feveral thoufands of pounds were expended in the
town, which the men had received as Malta Prize.
Stoney, and as bounties in the Army of Referee, and
for general fervice.
The following is circulated on the Continent as
the fobhiance of the anfwer given by the Britifh
Government to the propolitions made by the Em-
peror ALEXANDER, for an accommodation with
France, namely, " That his BRITANNIC WIWI
being ever actuated by a fincere define for peace,
would have entertained with fatisfaltion the media-
tion of his Imperial Majeßy, on the grounds on which
It was propofed. had the condut2 of France furnilbed
a profpeft of effeanatiag an accommodation oa prin-
ciples of equity and honour. But the Bruit Nation
having, by extraordinary facrifices, placed itfelf in a
great and impaling Rate of warfare, his Majefty
could not, confittent with his dignity and interea,
relax in its vigorous profecution until be had obtained
ample fecurity again& the hails views of France."
It is Rated that when France demanded from Spain
and Portugal their co-operation in the war. thole
Courts made the moil impreffive appalls to the Ca-
binets of Peteriburgh and Berlin, and fucceeded in
exciting the interference of thofe powers in their fa-
vour. Raffia in particular, renewed her ancient al-
fiance with Spain, and in opening difcarioss at Paris
on the queltion at iffne, unequivocally declared (in
eonjunftion with Pruffia), that the could not be an at.
different fpedator to the march of a French army
through Spain, for the occupation of Portugal. The
Fiats- Comsat profeffed to facrifice the projeft to the
yams of there Courts; but while the matter was
pending, he compelled their Catholic and Faithful
Majefties to grant him pecuniary fubfidies, as the
condition of his forbearance. The Emperor ALE a-
irtime. on being apprifed of this manoeuvre, expreffed
himfelf in terms of difgua at the duplicity and fraud
which it betrayed.
Letters from Conftantinople Rate, that on the gth
ult. the Ulenias, or learned in the law, headed by the
Mufti, prefented a petition to the Grand Seignior, as
Supreme Caliph of the Faith, praying him to declare
a religions war againa Abdul Wechab, and to order
the holy ftandard of the Prophet Mahomet to be
hoilled, that every true Mutat:nu might, in obe.
dience to his duty, take up arms againft the heretic.
The Reis Effendi communicated this application to
Mr. DRUMMOND, the Britifh Ambaflador, who re-
plied that his Court could not interfere in a matter
which related fairly to the internal adminiftration of
the Turkiffi Empire. but that he at the fame time felt
himfelf authorized by the dee interea and friendfliip
fubfilling between the two countries, to recommend
to the ferious confidemtion of the Sublime Porte the
confequence of fending the main body of its forces to
fo remote a quarter, while a French army of somoo
men continued affembled in the diftria of Otranto,
and who, whatever might be their profeffions, would
probably take advantage of the abfence of its armies
to invade Greece. This is fuppofed to have deter-
mined the Divan to reject, at leaft in part, the propo.
fition of the Ulemas.
Rear Admiral GRAYS' is to fail from Plymouth
in a few days ; it is Paid that he is to have a eying
fquadron of two fail of the line. betides frigates, at.
tached to him, to form a cordon of cruisers from
Cape Clear or Bantry Bay, to the Coaft of France.—
The advantages of fuch a meafure will be very great
in the event of our fleet being blown off Brea.
