has again been very generally rumoured that our
Government has at last determined to remove
the embargo upon Dutch vessels. This. howev-
err, has been so often reported. that II has DOT
gained any credit here. II is, nevertheless que
10 our shiDpinp interests that this act OF Jusoce
should Immediately be done, and TINS oahe'u'
impediment to this branch Of our commerce re-
moved. Still, we find an opinion continues "
preyail that the negotiations have taken favour

in the Ministry, which have strengthened tue par

Coffeehouse. to the 10th Of October. lhey speak
generally Of the prosperous condition OF ."at ''n'

pened with capital Of 100000. The Gover'
nor had agreed to lend each bank the sum OF 9lo'
600. at per cent, and the colonial produce was
improving in price.
We have every reason to assert that the BANK
have been purchasing Exchequer Bills largely
to. day, as we'll as the public; in consequence,
they have advanced per cent, and closed at

HOLLAND.
The following private correspondence OF the
London Times is published 10 that paper OF the
4th Of April, and although some oil the writer's
speculations, which we have Omitted TO insert,
indicate that he is a warm partzan, and strongly
opposed to the measures OF the British Ministry
in relation to Holland, yet the facts that he states
90 far to show that the prospect of continued
peace in Europe is daily diminishing
BRussELs, Tuesday Morning. April s.-Ihe
accounts from Holland to day are very ~arlikr,
and fully prove the determination Of the Dutch
not to submit to the terms England and France
wish to impose on them. The whole OF the army
is in motion towards the frontiers, and the Land
sturm, composed Of eighteen battallions, have
had their officers appointed The prince OF Or
anse is occupied in inspecting the different tor
tresses. The Duke of SAKE Wemar has reach.
ed mis- head quarters and the soldiers on leave OF
absence have received orders to JON their respec-
tive corps with the least possible delay.
The German papers, one and all, agree that
Prussia and Russia will never consent to effective
rigorous measures being taken against Holland
that the blockade has existed sufficiently long to
prove its inutity, and express the desire OF the
Cabinets Of the North TO reopen negotiations tor
the purpose OF c0ncocing an equitable treaty.
The meetings of the Conference to be held in
sumo central town in Germany That 1t must
come to this at last is beyond all doubt, nor is it
less certain, than Lord PaImerston and Prince
TaIleyrand must tlismount from the high horse
they have lately ridden, and SO badly managed.
Indeed it was generally reported here Yesterday
tina! England and France had consented to raise
the embargo, restore the Dutch prisoners. and
allow the Five Powers to take up the question a.
arb,trators, Holland agreeing to open the Scheldt
and sign an armis,ice for six months. The re.
cOmmenc ement of protocols may secure Tor
time the peace Of Europe. and ultimately accom-
pllsh the wishes Of the King ct Holland. by rem.
dering the Besans daily more dissatisfied with
their present governors.
Every fresh protocol would be victory gained
bv the Orange party, until the strength of their
opponents would be so weakened that they would
quietly submit to the majority of the well dspos-
ed and most respectable Of the community. Not

ed party, who would not rather submit to throw
up their independence at once than consent to
enter again the labyrinth OF diplomacy. The
meeting of the Conference would be the signal
for new loans, increased taxes. and the conse-
quent decrease Of credit; whereas, by refusing
to enter into further negociatians, they may lose
the friendship Of England and France, with the
prospect Of settling their own affairs without
sword or diplomacy. Examine for an instant
what would be the consequences Of leaving the
two nations to themselves.
The discussions OH the War Budget CONT
nue. in the Chamber OF Representatives, and ve-
~ considerable reduction from the sums demand
ed by the minister have already been made. On
Sundsy-the better day the better deed-the mi

Being pressed to give some explanation of his
conduct in this affair, he SAID that the French Go
