lows: 6 on the 14th, regiment OF the
Grand Duke of Berg's troops arrived at

ROTTERDAM, Sept. II.
His Excellency c. F. Van Maanen, the
Minister of Justice, published the following
notification of Utrecht on the 21st inst
"The Minister of Justice and Public being
duly authorised by his Majesty hereby inter-
diets and prohibits all printers and publish
ers of journals or newspapers from insert
ing any articles relative to the national in
stitute, unless they shall have previously APP
peared in the Royal Courant."
From this circumstance it is manifest, that
the late relaxation of the edicts for shut
ting the perts Of Holland has been only with
view to procure some essential article Of
commerce, exclusively in the possession Of
British merchants. We cannot but express
Il wish, therefore, either that the licences
for exporting bark and other articles of
that nature, Of such vast Importance to our
enemies. may be revoked, if practicable /;
or, that the English merchants may have
frmness sufficient to prevent its leaving
British ports, whatever temporary inconve-
niences they may suffer. The more we
can distress the enemy. the sooner may we
hope 1or peace.
