other authorities, were also examined, and declared
upon their honour, that this false rumour probably
origiwtted In thi aucceeitive.nrrival, 'about the 20th
of October, of to Dumber of boxes with the word!
:"2Troisor Imperial" witness upon them. The most
of-them, however, were either empty, or the small
sums which they contained were thrown by the for-
nor Governer, Count Narbonue, into the principal
chest. From the books it appeared that the total
amount thus collected was S$ 1,084 francs in specie,
tend 411,000 francs in bills on Paris. How inade-
quate this sum must have been, even to supply the
pay and various wants of a mass of troops collected
i theve,tothe amount of 30,000 men, it is easy to con-
Iceir'..ln the Inst weeks, also, of the siege, the gar-
risef(44ezeised hardly any pay. Upon the whole,
the Ceoitoittee reported to Gan. Tauenzien, that the
rumour was wholly unfoundeci.
The situation of the hospit .1s ,t this garrison, on.
its capture, was the most deplorable that can he cOri-
; ceivcd. In the courts of the hospitals were found
waggons laden with dead bodies, which little care
I seemed to be taken to bury ; nay, there were even
' found corpses lying at the entrances half covered
with snow. The atmosphere within the rooms was
so pestilential, from the miserable objects them-
! selves, and the foulness of the bedding and straw,
that a person on first entering them could hardly
breathe. The number of sick lying in this frightful
state amounted to 2000; but now all the necessary
, means have been adopted for their accommodation,
and a Commission of Health has been appointed to
' prevent the spreading of this pestilence. -

i . In consequence of the severity of Abe weather, oar
late bombardment, and the pressing wants of the
garrison, desertion from it becomes every day more
. frequen‘ Hardly a night passes without some dozens
of them coming Over the-walls. They represent their
numbers aka:non:sting to about 2000 French troops,
and 300 Croats ; but the greater part of them are sick.
I The surrender of the fortress may, therefore, be spec-
I dily expected.

I informs the merchants, that Lord Claucarty, the
British Ambassador, has communicated to our
Government, that his Royal Highness the Prince
Regent,.wishing on every occasion to show the greet-
ed liberality towards Holland, as far as the interests
of his Majesty's States will permit, has declarectthat
the navigation and commerce between Holland and
'the old Dutch colonies is opened, under the follow.

..- The - it Papers, though properly enough said
id hiito e 11th, would have been printed on thel
evening of the 10th,, and, therefore, although they
give no information with respect to the alleged ac-
tions, they do not on that account warrant a con-
clusion that they did not take place. In the Papers
received, the head-quarters of the Emperor of the
FaVICII are stated to be Sesanno (we have no doubt,
Gezame is a misnomer). It is about five leagnei
from Nogent-sur-Seine, and twenty-six from Paris :
situated between the two rivers, Marne and Seine.
There were many reasons for concluding that on the
10th or 11th a battle .of some importance might be
expected to take place; and to which the article
of the latest date in the French Papers seems
the prelude. We mean that wherein it is said
that " letters announce that on the Bth and 9th,
the, carp. of tke Marshal Duke of TAlteNTum was
engaged. between Chateau-Thietry and . Epernay,
with tie* divisions of the enemy"-,--'biacoona.Lo's
division being posted in that neighbourhood. But
these important matters still in a state of dubity,
cannot long remain so: the next arrivals must Wei-
Indy clear away all uncertainty. In the mean while,
although the French Journals do not afford any
sat:sinctory military details, they furnish us with
.
• (.iplornatic transactions, which excite surprise as
cell as lively,interest. While the dire work of car.
uagecontinnes in the camp, unexpected civilities are
exchanged io ,the Cabinet : and at the same time;
that cruel death is unrelentingly dealt out by the
contending armies, rival dinners are exchanged be.
tween the ceremonious Ambassadors at the place of
negociation. This appears, indeed, a new era, in
which the iron and the golden ages are become united,
and the powers which wield the two metals, that
constitute the character of those times, seem at once
• roughly and refinedly struggling for pre-eminence.—
We are almost ready to exclaim with the inflamed
i end divine British bard—
" Whatever ig, is not."

cheren ; and if it should be necessary, to sail up to
Antwerp, and co-operate in the •recleetion of that
city.
The severe frost renders any communication with
Walcheren difficult; nevertheless deserters arrive
from time to time, according to whose accounts every
thiag continues there on the same footing. In Flush-
ing and Viet., the two points Which the enemy has
!prepared
to defend, large magazines have been col-
lkted. Vs** these places troops have been detached
to\ both side, of the island ; in Middlebourg there
are at present none.

According to the report of a deserter from lk►tz,
the garrison there consists of 800 men, viz. :-300
mariners, and 500 conscripts, all Frenchmen ; the
place is well supplied with every necessary, but there
are in it a great number of sick.
