DUTCH MAILS.
Two Mails have arrived, being all that were dud.
By the Hague Journals we- learn, that the storm
which did so much mischief at Edinburgh, Glasgow,
and other places in Scotland, extended its ravages to
Holland, where it occasioned much damage.
By this Mail we have receiiid an account through
Vienna, that a messenger, lately dispatched by the Bri-
tish Resident at Bagdad, over-land to Constantinople,
has been robbed of his dispatches and murdered near
Mossul. Such things sometimes took place, even in
neutral territories, during the revolutionary war, and
then we were at no loss to fix on the principals, though
the agents escaped. But to what machiavelian po-
licy is this vile act to be ascribed in a time of general
peace ? By whose procureMent was it perpetrated ?
—Perhaps by lawless assassins only—perhaps not.
