London, Nov. Odd. The accounts re-
ceived yesterday from Holland, to Tues
day last, taken in conneXion with those
from Antwerp of the same date, afford us
the melancholy assurance that the Dutch

resistance, and that as the French army
was ready to commence operation, al
most immediate tloodshed has become
inevitable.
The Prussian State Gazette of Nov.

that "the King, conformably to the de-
carations which he has made on every
occasion, and, in concert with Austria
and Russia, has caused notice to be Civ

France, that he must refuse to cOercivc
measures not only all kind of co-opera-

will convene in Providence on Monday

Naval DEPor. On the first page of
this days paper will be found the able
and satisfactory letter Of Capt. Wads-
worth, of the u. S. Navy, detailing the
particulars of the recent survey of this
Bay, for the purpose Of selecting some
eligible Site for Naval Depot. 1t will
be seen that two points are recommend
ed for this desirable object, and tn at the
advantages of this Bay as a man-of-war
barbor are fully sustained and concurred
in by this impartial and scientific officer.
We are not disposed to detract from the
merits Of our "indefatigable Representa-
tive" as the Jackson papers term him,
and accord him all praise where he hon.
estly deserves it, but we think it due to
truth, in reference to this survey to say,
that it was executed in compliance with
a resolution introduced into the Senate
last winter by the Hon. Mr. ROBBINS, land
ably and successfully sustained by him
in the discussions Of that body. The re.
solution when it came to the House wa.
zealously supported by Messrs. Burge.
and Pearce, and finally prevailed in thai
branch after warm opposition.
