HOLLAND.

ROTTERDAM, Jay. 25 —The fadden return of
the holt, which, fur the prefent, excludes all hopes
of a fredy opening of the navigation, has, conk
qiiently, operated to keep' our market in the fame
dull I ste as before. Several articles, among which
gin may be reckoned, have no fixed prices Englilh
coals indeed are getting extravagantly high, to the
great emolument of the fpeculators in that article.
Hides are now become dull. Sugar maintains
and coffee flill continues advancing.
There was a great buiile to-day at 'Change
among our Stock Brokers, in the Refcriptions.—
The Batavian Refcriptions payable after the pace
were fold at 65/, to be delivered till Mart-h, with
liberty to receive them at any time. In the 3 per
cent. National Bonds, little wasdone of confequence.
Some fates in the French Funds took place.
Am ST I" RDA M, JAN. 19.—TO•day die Dutch Funds
were Heady. The Refcliptions payable after peace
were even higher, and got up to 644, but on the
clofe of the 'Change, fell again to 641; 3 per cent.
Old National Bonds (laid at 48# ; and the New at
471. As the publication of the loan has not yet
been iffued, it is thought that fume alteration will
be made in the plan which has appeared in lime
of our Papers.
HAGUE, JAM. 24.—Our Government, aware of
the importance of the herring fifhery to this coun-
try, are about to grant a premium for twelve years,
rf Soo guilders, to the owners of each (hip fitted out
for that fifhery : and, by way of additional encou-
ragement, zoo guilders extra will be granted for
the &II of thole twelve years, in confederation of
the immenfe lots fuflained by individuals concern-
ed in this filhery during the late war.
The official flatement of the new loan has not
yet been publifhcd. The (ketch fuffered to be in-
jetted in two or three of our papers was meant as
an experiment to try the feelings of the people on
this fubjed. Whatever the event c f this worn-out
artifice may have been, it hems certain that Tome
alterations are intended.

Our funds fiiil continue looking upwards. Ba•
to tan Racriptions were fold to day at 65e, to be
delivered till March, within that period.
A report in circulation lately, that the plan of
the new loan was printing at the National Prefs,
feems to be devoid of foundation ; and therefore it
is to be foppofed that it is to be turned infide Hilt.
This tArdinefs in the Government, in this refped,
has now canted a fort of flagnai ion in the piirchafe
of flocks : the prices, however, null maintain. The
affair with the French relliefting the Batavia')
Referiptioni payable aflcr peace, is not yet fettled ;
it remains in the fame fituation as in the beginning
of Lift week.

The neceffary arrangements have now been fet•
tied between our Government and the French Re-
public for keeping 3600 men, French troops, in this
country, another year: in the courfe of which time
our fate, as Raves or freemen, will, moil probably,
be determined ; but we are certainly by no means
fo near receiving the yoke as the Englifh Papers
have rcprefented : nor, however de*raded, and
fecretly divided among each other, is there any
chance that fuch an ambitious (theme would fuc•
teed ? for even the Orangifis, when fo fentibly
touched, would doubtlefs make .t common Callli
of it with their countrymen. What but for this
have they been re-admitted to the public Councils,
and to lucrative offices? No fptcies of tyranny
could long controul us, if our domenic wounds
were but. foundiy healed ; and this, perhaps, op-
prcilion would etrea fooner than any other thing.
