HOLLAND.

Hacus, Dsc. 31,-I'he euhange of couriers
between our Government and that of the French
Republic has been extremely brifk within thefe few
days; and as the former have decidedly triumphed
in the affair of General Moursicamtn, the fubjeet
of their correfpondence is thought to be of a quite
different nature. Perhaps it either relates to the
loan which is in contemplation, or the commercial
negociations carrying on between this country and
England.
By a publication iffued by the departmental Go.
vernment of Holland, it is decreed, in purfuance
of previous refolutions, that the combined Court
of Jullice for Holland and Zealand (hall be dif-
folved on the loth of January next; on which day
the eff-Etive eftablifliment of both refpedive depart-
mental Courts of Jullice is to commence.
According to a letter received from our Com.
mercial Commiffary at Dantzick, we find that the
difeafe which raged there among the horned cattle
has now ceafed.

We hear that ftrong reprefentations will be made
by our Government to the French Republic, for
procuring the Batavian Commilraries in France to
be fupported in the fame prerogatives which are
accorded to the Commilfaries of the French Re-
public refiding here and efpecialty in that of
afEfting the mallets of velfels with filch courtier in.
terpite as they than find neceffary, or eveq without
loch Alliance, if they fhould chufe it.
Orders have been allied, for the purpofe of pre-
venting the inhabitants of Helvoetfluys from be-
ing burdened with French foldiers; that, on the
embarkation of the troops dettined for Louifiana,
they be kept as much-from the Ihore as poffible
or, if it happen that they mull flay on land one
night previous to their going on board, they (hall
be lodged in the wooden habitations of the fhir.
!rights, who are to make room for them.
A report has been credited for fome time pall,
that one of the (hips of Admiral Dit IVINTEeI
fquadron had been wrecked on the Barbary coaft.
Happily, however, the Admiral's letters contra-
die this affettion.

On the 24th inft. failed under convoy of the cor•
vette De Vlieg, a fquadron of tranfports carrying
out troops, civil officers, with ammunition and
other articles, to Batavia and the Molucca
That fame day failed likewife a force of 1000 or
1200 men, to Surinam, Demerara, and the Welk
India hies ; in which the Government intends to
keep firmer zermlosu than it bar yet allowed to & inti-
mated in the nem/papers of this country. The troops
are to go out in fmall detachments, and fa as to
elude asmuch as poffible the notice of other powers.
The Batavian Legiflature receives at leaft an
hundred reprefentations a day, againl the plan of
paying off the public debts, named relcriptions, in
new obligations, inflead of ready money. The
merchants of Amflerdam. Rotterdam, Dort, &c.
are all in arms againft the meafure. The refcrip.
Micros, though only eight days fince, at 71 or 72
per cent. have fallen as low as 63i. The market
prices of our other Hocks fall in equal proportion.
It is not true that the French Government has
demanded a loan of 3o millions from the Batavian
Republic. But there are, indeed, French Agents
in Amflerdam, who tile every lislicnation, though
with little or no fuccefs, to perloade the monied
interell of that city to furnifh loans to France.
There is exa:zgcration in the report in your
newfpapers, that the f 'metres of this Republic are
occupied by French troops. But this is no new
event ; ever lime 1795, Breda, Bergen op Zoom,
Gorcurn, Flufh.ng, Bois•le-duc, and all our thong
towns have been. as they now aaually arc, bad
by our French allies.

We have received Paris Journals to the 2d ink.
and their contents are of importance. The Moni-
ter► of the ift contains a philippic againft this
country, which furpaffes all its predeceffors in ma•
lignity. It is not copied into it from another jour.
nal, and therefore, in the ark:left fenfe, may be
confidered as the official at of the French Go-
vernment. The foundation of this attack is the
affertion made by Lord PELHAM, in Parliament,
that we have not abandoned our views on the
Continent, but that Miniaers will watch to improve
our connedions there. Indignant that Britain
lhould prefume to have connedions on the Conti-
nent, the lifonikur, under pretence of attacking the,
Gainvmsts, in reality attacks our Miniftry.—
Who but the Mini ftry could fend a frigate to watch
at Genoa ? The Britifh Cabinet, then, is charged
with agitating the Continent, with promoting re
colutionary plots in Naples and Rome, affaffina-
tion from the ifland of Jerfey ; with being guilty
of every clandefline and atrocious ad to difturb
the peace of fociety and embroil Europe. This
is the language of France, the official language
of the French Government, at the very moment
when the Britifh Minifters have aflumed a molt
pacific tone, and prefcribed for themfelves a pa.
cific line of condo& ! This is the pacific fpirit of
France ! this is her defire of only entering into a
rivalry of commerce with England ! And all be.
caufe Lord PELHAM had the audacity to entertain
thoughts of forming connedions with the Conti-
nent when favourable circumaances fhould offer ! If
we prefume but to name the Continent, it feems, we
mull be denounced as incendiariesand robbers ! The
mole notorious falfehoods are reforted to, to inflame
the Sovereigns of Europe agaiaft this country. Mr,
Wrannaw is accufed of having called the Ruffian
people•ferocious barbarians, in sAifgraceful fenfe,
though the erroneous report of what he faid, has
been corroded and re•ltated in the Route. He never
ufed fuch languag e,or any language like it. We are
accufed too of encouraging a libellous pamphlet
on the King of Pau ssta, though no fuch pamphlet
exifts. By reforting to fueh falfehoods to provoke
theft monarchs, we are in hopes that France feels
they are difpofed to fee their real interelts, and to
efpoufe the fentiments of Britain. The great rage
of the Monitor at fuel an offence as the words of
Lord Pa LH AN, and fo flight an offence, gives good
reafon to prefume, that Bow♦ feels there is
real danger of England forming not only connec-
tions, but powerful connedions on the Continent.
Such is the fury of this official article, that it even
prefumes so prefcribe laws for England, and to
defire that Minifters turned out of office &odd not
again fit in Parliament for feven years!
For our own part we have little doubt, however,
that all the circumflances alledged relative to the
condut of the agents of this Government on the
Continent, are utterly falfe. Minifters would be
not merely incapable, but abfolutely deflitute of
common fence, if they encouraged or ptadifed
fuch miferable and contemptible manmovres.
The perAffage of flopping a man's mouth two
Tears, if he lays any thing in Parliament difagree-
a'Ae to Foreign Powers, fcarce deferves notice; but
tie menace, that Foreign Powers may at laft think
proper to fay that freedom of fpeech (ball ceafe
ii Parliament, is of a more ferious nature ! !
The Paris Journals contain an authentic copy
f Bow* aaaaa 's letter to the Swifs Deputies,which
as been publifhed at Laufanne. This letter dif•
ers from the account we have already given of it

ri regard to Tome particular expreffions ; but in tub-
lance and in meaning it is the fame. Bo AAAAA ra
'vs he mutt fpeak to the Deputies as the Chief
6lagiftrate of two great countries ;—that he never
sill difguife from them that France will not fuf-
;et a fyßem favourable to her enemies to be
pfiablifhed in Switzerland. He propofes three
rinciples IR, an equality of rights among the
.ighteen Cantons ; ad, a renunciation, fincere and
oluntary, of their privileges, by the Patrician fa•
ilies ; and 3d, a federal organifation : each can-
n to organife itfelf according to its language, its
ligion, its manners, its intereß, and its opinions.
The Mositevr contains an article reprefenting the
evenue of the Republic to be in a molt flourithing
r.ndition. The revenues are near four millions
?ling above the receipt of the preceding year.
confequence of there flattering Ratements, the
:ids continue to rife. They are 56 f. 6o e.
'lle Cabinet of Vienna has at length agreed to
Ccer.',9fser of the Extraordinary Deputation ;
.1 it is confidently timed, that the Convention
!sreen Prance and Auftria, refpeaing the In.
aunties to be granted to the Grand Duke of

Tumors., has been ratified at Vienna, by his TM-
'mac MAJESTY. It was expeaed that the Auf-
trian troops would, in confequence of this defini-
tive arrangement, immediately evacuate l'affau.
_ _ _

The Hanfetowns, and particularly Hamburgh.
Bremen, and Lubec, complain however of the
obaacles they experience in taking poffellion of the
indemnities Aligned to them, and fome remon-
ftranccs have followed.

By the New York Mail, we have papers to the
4th lilt. which continue to bring gloomy accounts
from St. Domingo. The extirpation of the Blacks
is reprefented as the only mode of recovering
that Wand, and the French, it is faid, hold no more
than the Cape, the Mole, and Port Republicain.
The accounts from Guadaloupe are equally difaf•
trot's. The Blacks have rifcn there, and maffacred
many of the French feeders. The Moniteur, received
hall night, contains a flattering notice from Mar-
tinique.
