alton, leads us to think that the French govern
ment are more anxious OIL the fubietf than we
iuppofed. Ifthis be the cafe, Il is probable
that France may be difpofed to make greater
conceiiions than might be expected after her
late extraordinary fuccei1cs. 1t mutt be remen,
bered that Prufiia, although fhe in the firf in
ftance took Poieiiion of Hanover. and pro.
claimed her right to it Internationally. has fnce
publicly announced that her occupation of that
Electorate was only provifional. 1t will ALTO
be recolleeted, that the late accounts from Ger
many ftate that Augereau's divGon of tbe
French army had received orders to march TO-
wards Hanover, for the purpofe of re. occupying
thar electorate. Our opinion on this import
ant fuhjed is in fome degree ftrengthencd by
me arrival OF the aforementioned gentleman.
He reached Dover, we underfand, within eiyht
and forty hours from his departure from paris.
and iuch expedition can hardly be fuppofed to
relate merely to an exchange of prfoners.
We yefterday received Paris and Dutch pa-
pers to the goth init. and we are alto enabled to

We latt night received Dutch papers to the
22d inf. and this morning the HAMBURG Mail
due on Wednefday arrived The former are
hled with accounts of the arrival of their Mai-c
test new King and Queen of Holland at the
Hague. They arrived there on the evening of
the 18th, and took up their refdence at the
nouie 10 tie Wood; they were Attended by a
large body of Cavalry, and the road through
which they pailed was lined with troops, all
French.
General Laurifon, on taking poiTefion of
Ragufa, has publitied Proclamation, in which
he ftates, that the enemies of France had too
much influence in the RaguCan Republic, and
that Bonaparte, feeling his dignity thereby hurt,
had ordered him to take poGeffion of it and
adds, that he will keep pohcffion of it until the
Rufiians fbalI have evacuated not only Cataro,
but Corfu, and the whole republic of the Seven
Hands, and until the RufIian fouadron naU
