Instruction IN Holland.

Instruction IN Holland.
LONDON, April IS.
Oppression will drive men mad, and tire
phlermatic HolIandcr has at last turned
upon the foot that has trodden him to the
earth. Our Dover letter mentions the ar
rival Of a lugger from the opposite coast,
bringing the information OF IN insurrec-
ton having taken place in Holland. The
populace are said to have risen upon the
French garrison at Rotterdam and other
places-to have disarned them and taken
possession Of the forts and batteries
They had sent emissaries to other parts,
and the fame was rapidly spreading.
Another letter VIC have seen, mentions
the arrival of person from one oil me
islands in the Scheldt. which he LETT Oh
Saturday morning. He has brought the
report. that the Amsterdam post had been
stopped i'm consequence Of a serious insur-
reetiOn in Dordt and Amsterdam, where
the people had risen on the soldiefy, and
Oycrpowered them. Nothing more was
known in the island to which we have al
laded last Saturday, beyond the Interrupt
ton of the post, and the cause being an
Instruction.
Since writing the above, we have heard
that all communication between Holland
and Waleheren had been cut OF Tor three
days, and that the French troops were In
every place overpowered. ADutch popu-
lace is mos. feroeiOus.
1t is also said that insurreetionary move
menls have taken place in different parts
Of France, and that great discomfort mas
been manifested by all ranks on account
Of the general distress. The Pope's Ill
treatment and captivity have given great
offence. The common people consider
Bonaparte's son as illegitimate, the pope
having accommodated Shin. and consl-
dered the divorce and subsequent marri-
age Of Bonaparte as illegal.
April 25.
Desertions from the .ant1cerpdeet.
INsURRECT1oN IN HOLLAND.
Accounts from Hull, received this
morning, state, that vessel had arrived
there from Norway, and brought the in
tclligence of the desertion of the Dutch.
Norwegian and Danish sailors from the
feet at Antwerp, and likewise that the
greatest disorder prevails in the towns OF
Flushing and Antwerp. Several lives
were lost in the night Of the Goth, and It
was expected that a general insurreeton
was shout to take place in all parts OF
French Flanders.
There is no further arrival from HOl-
land. The communication by post be-
tween Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Wal
ehereu. is understood to be cut Oft. We
have no doubt Of the correctness OF the
accounts brought Yesterday, to which we
have to add the following letter, which
mentions disturbances to have broken out
in East Friesland:
Sc Helis0lGnd. .4prit II.
"In Aurich, in East Friesland, a re-
solutiou has taken place, in consequence
Of the great seventies practised by the
French there. The people have pulled
down the French arms, and broken them
to pieces: they also seized the Judges
and tore their chains from their bosoms ;
they disarmedthe militia. and broke their
swords to pieces after which they went
to the Castle, and pluadered it; and from
thence proceeded to the church and rang
the alarm bells, to give the signal OF re-
volt. In Northern the inhabitants rose
and obliged several priyateers lying in the
iarbor to sail, i'm order to prevent the
shipping from coming in, and direct their
course elsewhere.
The Morning Chronicle is disineiined TO
blieve the account of disturbances in 1i0l-
land. because it has been asserted also
that insurrectioaary movements have Dro-
Ken out in France. And adds, sswe know
