der that extraordinary man so coma
in capacity and disposition, as to Hers
that he is not at this moment, thought
nea►en and earth to retrieve some part o

foituue.
In the present altered and critical situation of the
enemy, it is natural to expect many surmises will be
eir culated with respect to him, and the disposition
ei the people of France towards him and his views.
In the absynce of real news, these reports, more or
less absurd, may be particularly expected ; of • this
description is the follow in;, which was circulated at
the East end of the Town and in the City yesterday,
wiz. That the Citowe Pat NcEand Marshal D‘vousr,
being ancient acquaintances, as well es brother Officers
in camp,. garrison, and quarters, had entered into an
amicable arrangement, under which. they had joined
their forces, and were immediately to proceed to ac-
complish the liberation of the whole of Flanders,
that an ulterior design was connected with this
projectrwhich was nothing less than the dethrone-
ment of NAPOLEON. So little of the semblance of
truth inhere in this, ti.a t although these officers have
served together, yet were they never good fiiends.—
Wheuever.to Fteuch..do determine to throw off the
subjection to DONAPAATZ, we doubt not but the
work Will begin with the Gonenkisi something in this
manner; 'but when we consider that, the change can-
not be etheitud without the hazard, and almost the cer-
tainty.of a civil war, we doubt whether the people of
that country will be readily induced to the.attempt,
though they may have exchanged their admiration
for detestation of their chief.

Upon the sehjeCt of the newly-assumed Sovereign
title by the Prtnce of OR.tNsat to IlfWO 'We have
every reason to believe .we called the attention of
both Parliament,and people, wrcihill( ay hit Attie
at present. Those who have taken It, Jo the great
Council of the Nation, know its importance, iu se,
veral points of view, better probably than* we, do.
Thecircumstance is by no means a trivial one, either
as appertaining to Holland or to England, since our
SECRETARY .0T STATE has admitted 111.11 arroiletion,.
!and acted upon it, by the qualification gi!eil.'to out
•Amhascador accordingly. It may be said that the
Pr incew is greeted with it hy;the frooisionhl
. men!. Now, with all the virtue the:Members of that,
Provisional Government might possess, and withers no
doubt but that they-are as virtuous as they are pa-
; triotic, they could confer no.new tide lava,* upon
I the Prince of 'ORANGE. Alf they:o6.old do was to
call him over, and place him where and skit he was,
when expelled the countri. 'No one 'province, no,
nor any six out of the Seven United, could confer a
title, but-through the •
States of each, and pronotulted
in the States-General. The Provisional Govetn'rnent
l could not form awl resolve on a .Constitutios
and Caen invite the Prince ;of OaAvrot; to ratify it.
This will in to call eP GROTTOS out of hitirsve hi.
Aced, and to call up every people associated ii ties
of polity, to examine anew what art thbliet
of man. •

In onr former port of the Interesting Sketch' of
-the rise of the klupublic of Holland, we left Prince
,liVis.t.sam, of Oitanct at the :bead of the Nascent
i.Goierument. He continued so till the 10th of
FJuly, 15845:when he was assassinated by BaLvitann
GERARD, a deperate enthusiast
Sat. Delft, in conse-
quence of the price which bad been set on his head
Iby the barbarous PHILIP of SPAIN. MAURICE, his
son, succeeded him, and, in addition to the title of
1 bias father, was declared Stadtholder of Holland,
Zealand, and Utrecht., 11ls— brother, WILLIAM
; HENRY, succeeding- hint, obtained the three offices of
Stadtholder, Captain,. and"Admiral-General, with
a grant of the snit to his descendants for ever.—
While PHILIP was contending for the Seven United
Provinces, providentially for them, foitune threw in
his way a new sovereignty, which engaged his ambi-
tion and cupidity, and diverted his resentmentagainst
his new-revolted subjects. Dow %Weser., King of
Portugal, grandson of the GitEAT I*ANHEL,
smitten with the passion for* military, glory (si.
inilar to what we have witnessed nearer home), ;
dctermisted to . signalize himself by an • expedi-
tion

ancestors had required sa.ransi moan,. and wher ,

arose for the Crown; among whom was hie :King-
of SPAIN. PHILIP'S claim was not the'best, but he had I
most power to support it. The old Duke of ALTA, of 1
whom we have had occasion to:say so much,ttnd who

King of S WEISER, when informed that the Queen of
ENGLAND had openly embraced the defence of the
revolted Flemings, declared " she had now, taken
the diadem from her head, and placed it upon the.
point of a sword." The Earl of LEICESTER Was
sent over to Holland at the head of the English
auxiliaries, consisting of 5000 foot and 1000 horse,
while Sir F. Duxes was dispatched with a fleet of
20 sail, and a body. of. land forces, to attack the
Spaniards in the West Indies. The English arms in
the Low Countries were not successful. Let-
cEST EX wanted 'both ,courage and capacity equal
to the trust ; iota' as the State§ knew his influ-
ence with Euzaserri, they loaded him with
honours, and vested him with a power almost dicta-
torial, before they had found their confidence so
misplaced. Intoxicated with his elevation, lie assumed
Ilte-ili'ef a SOvereign Prince; refused the instruc-

pected him of a design upon their liberties : and
Euzesurzw, in order to quiet their fears, or lest an
attempt should be made upon the life of her favou-

return home. This was . the time that Prince Kau:
