nOBLAND--The Amsterdam Caz-
cite, Oct. 4th, contains an official note
from the Ministry of Marine and the CO.
lonies, signed by the Minister Elout-
that the Port OF Curacao will be made a
free port from the LIST of January next,
open to the commerce of all nations,
with no ether duties than those necessa.
ry for protecting aud preserving ships
and their merchandise.
The last accounts from Groningcn are
Of the most distressing nature. The
health committee write, that two OF their
number have died, that the malignity Of
the disorder does not diminish, and the

Dutch East Jndies.-Accounts from
Batavia to the 25th of June, had reach
ed London, giving gloomy picture Of
the affairs of that place. The war was
carried on with rigor by the natives, and
the Dutch only mustered FIVE hundred
troops. 1t was said it would be impos
sibie to hold the Island with fewer troops
than ten thousand. Every person on
the island was obliged to perform mill
tary duty. The English residents were
withdrawing their property and reno
wing to Singapore. The Treasury was
low, and vast debts accommodating.
RUSSIA AND pERSIA.-The EN-
Peror of Russia published formal de-
claration of war against Persia, on the
sSth September; but battle had pre-
vious!y occurred on the Cd. in which the
former were victoyious.-The Russians
attacked the Persians at the Chamora,
ten thousand strong, and killed 1000.
General YermoloH, in an order of the
day, says-The Persian Court has
been treacherous; and the Russian Man.
ifesto intimates that war will be carried
on Till security and indemnity shall be
obtained.-IIence it may be concluded
that ne will use every possible exertions
10 secure some of the frontier provinces,
and strong holds of Persia, and thus
throw every possible obstacle in the
way oifuture irruptlons Of his enemies
IN his own dominions.
A letter from ST. Petersburgh has the
following passage;-"Ihe Persian war
with this country resembles the Burmese
war, the Persian having taken a fancy
to conquer Russia with 90, 600 men.
The result of such affairs with the Per.
slams is generally the loss of few heads
and noses among the unIacky counsel
ors."
RUSSIA AND TURKEf.-It is
probable that the negotiations now pen
ling betwixt the Courts of st. Peters
ourS and Constantinople, may be facii-
lated by the present movements of the
Persians. The Russian autocrat may
be anxious to avoid the en.barrassments
n which he would necessarily be invol-
we'd by war with two distinct nations,
whose armies, operating in distinct pla-
res would compel him to divide his
forces, and would harrass him in vari
ous directions.-Hence he will probably
be induced to grant milder terms to the
Turks than those on which he would
have insisted, under other circumstan-
ces. The first Banking House at Frank
fort were looking with an anxious eye
