submission of the Netherlands. it is impossible that
in such complicated designs and distribution of force,
as *must always accompany the armies of allied
Princes, that some of their measures will not
appear unaccountable to the watchful observer
of them.—lf, at times, the Austrian army,
under the Prince of SCHWARTZ ENSERG has excited
surprise, by its caution or tardiness to move, the
same idea must be excited by that of the CROWN
PRINCE, which was in the last account represented
to be stilt at Cologne. We are, however, not in-
sensible of the difficulty of such an army provision-
lug itself for a march over a country more than, once,
or even twice, exhausted, and perhaps incapable of
furnishing what the Frenck denominate materiel.
His Royal Highness, however, may have his reasons,
or have stipulated, for not entering France himself;
he may, notwithstanding, be eminently serviceable,
under the possible disaster of his Allies, in covering
and securing their safe retreat across the Rhine.

, The following letter was deemed of sufficient in,-
portence by the Editor of the Courier to issue a Se-
cond Edition last night, with as much pomp as could ,
, hive been attached to a counter Revolution in France.
Now the Reader will no doubt be surprised to learn,
that it turns out to be the copy of a Circular Letter
sent to most of the Journals in town, and is evi-
dently fabricated by some crack-brained politician,
or an over-zealous friend to the BOURBON family,
as it is diametrically at variance with al the official
accounts received from France.—The.letter is dated
the 22d of February, and states, that Niowsmett On-

perhaps, the most afflicting proof, of alt others, of

The following is an account of a most gallant ac-
tion between the merchant ship Hibernia of Lon-
'don, Captain JOHN LENNON, with six guns, and 22
men and boys ; and the Comet American privateer,
of 14 guns and 125 men.

" St. Thrmir's, Jar. 27, 1814.
" Captain CABTREE, of the brig Wasp, arrived
here on the 10th inst. from London ; be states that
befell in with a privateer to the windward, of Saba,
on the 9th inst. but supposing the Wasp to be a man'
of way.,• made sail from. her. upon being chased.-1
This privateer has, for some time pest, been cruising
to intercept the outward-bound ships for this island

and St;cillix; and. would no doubt have done mach
