During our war for independence
Holland showed us strong sympathy
and lent us material aid. She ha:
now displayed again the same good
feeling 10y being the first of European
powers to rescind the recognition oI
rebel belligerent rights, a recognition
which the precedent of England and
France led, and virtually compelled
her and the minor European powers

tion of the United States and British
Provinces assembled last week al
Philadelphia. On Friday, it adopted

God for the recent glorious victories,

which several hundred lives and mil
lions of dollars worth of property
were destroyed, proves not to have
been the result of accident, but o.
rebel malignity. A man named Wal
has been apprehended, who confesses
that he was one of the persons who

had been surrendered, and the chic
sufferers were sure to be the rcbc

hid in desks and behind doors at the
Custom House gives coniirmatory
evidence of this most atrocious and
utterly causeless conspiracy to de-
stroy the city and its people.

say, "We accept the Union only on
