" General Camrattr.L's (the < iuvernor pf Gibraltar) db-

" Only six of the inhabitants and *ix aoldiem, belonging to

' Several letters, of data up to the Bth inst. were
yesterday rccoived from Hollaud. They are in the

laucholy accounts of national and individual distress,
both of which have augmented in a degree beyond all
former example. They stale that the Dumber of pau.
pets in each district is increased tenfold within the
last six months, the principal
,cause of which is said
to be the reduction of the interest of the fends to
'oue.third of their former amount. This, with-the
profits of the fisheriei and the limited trade which
Holland lately enjoyed, constituted the chief sup.
port of the mass of its population. The diminu.
lion of one of these sources, and the destruction
of the two others, have produced, as might na.
turally have been expected, severe and extensive dis.
tress. Some faint hopes were entertained, that the
new plan of finance would check, in a slight degree,
the daily increasing calaMity.
The distress was also considerably Increased by the
recent great failures at Ilamburgh, and other places
on the Continent. Several houses of note had in
consequence suspended their payments, among which
was cue engaged in the Russian banking line. It up.

A letter has been received by a respectable hoars,.
