.foreign LONDON, November 2s\ The London gazette of Saturday, con tains the official accounts of the complete evacuatioo of Holland—as also the account of the Armistice between the Duke of York, anJ geneial Brunc. The firft letters is da ted at Schagenbvug. O&dber 15 in which bis R. H. appoints Major General Knox, to communicate to General Brune, the pro pofiiions in his letter f<f the fame day. The third letter is from General Bru*e to hii Royal Highness, communicated by Gen. Knox, dated at Alkmaar, O&aber fifteen which covered the following explanatory letter : H. Alkmaar, OBobcr 15, 1799', year of the Fre'nth Republic. The Duke of York commandeftin chief of the English army, proposes that a cef fatioo of Hoilillties iTiall take place, in coo fequence of the' approach of the inclement season. He promises to withdraw from the Batavian territory, between the prefect pe riod and the end of November next, the whole army under hisc mmatid ; and con sents that no damage ftsall be committed, no flu ices opened, or dykes broken np, on conditii.il of his retreat not-being moleftcd by the French < r Batavian army. These motives would not have been bro't forward I y the Duke of York, if he had /Considered bimfelf possessed of meaas fuffiei ent foradvahcing into the country ; for In ■ that cafe, he would have had the facility *fv*i«iidi»g his quarters, of prweuriui; Ciib fiiience, Srid, in Ihort, cf placing liimfelf beyond the reach of the inconveniences ari fiugfrom the unfavourable season. We ought corftquently to I ok to advantages in mi arrangement, pr portioxate to the in fufScicncy of the forces under his command.- The terras pr-posed by the Duke of York contain nothing but what would be the neceflary result of the cefT.ition holiili lities. It fan Icarcely be fnppofed that the Du' e of York v.-ill canfc the Dykrs to be destroyed, the country to inundated, and the villages to be burnt, for the mere ppr pofe of committing such aft# cf violence ; as such conduct wou'd be contrary to the ' laws of war, and mult draw upon him the reprobation of all Europe, and of his own nation. It* appears therefore evident, that the Duke of Ycrk would confine himfelf to fuch measures as might be ufeful, to his own army, as detrimental to ours ; but we loa,k upon such accidents as infeperable from/a itate of war. No objeft of advantage to us pp pears ttivrefore to refuh from the propo fais which tave been made. Since, however, the fuff«rings of human ity come Under the corfideration of the Duke of York, Ger.eral Brune it ready to meet this honourable feeling, and, jn doing l'o, declares that the following flipulations •n which he offers to consent to a fufpCn fion of honilitieß are so obvioufly'juft, that he cannot depart from them.

Sehagen brug, OS. 17, 1799- His Royal Highness, the Duke of York, kc. propuf<-d to Gen. Brutir, an arrange? men' equally to tbe advantage of both par ties, originating in his dtfire to prevent the farther effuGon of blood, and to preserve this country fiom the terrible effefts of an inundation, as also from the dtftru&ios of the belt at its ports, involving the total ru in of the principal channels of its interior' navigation'and commerce. In answer to which Gen. Bruue observes, that he tannot imagine his Royal Highr.efs will recur to measures not less revolting to humanity, than repugnant to the charafter of tbe- Britifli nation, and t» the general feeling of all Europe. Devastation or deftrufltion is incompatible with the charafter and with the uniform conduft of the English nation ; and as lit tle d» either accord with the disposition of his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief; but there are duties peremptorily prescribed by the nature of particular situ ations, the odium of which mull fall, not on those who execute but on such as render the measures necessary, by rejefting the conditions of a juftar.d honorable agreement Deeply imprtffed with what is due to bis coantry on the one hand, and to the claims of humanity on the other : persuaded, like wise, that Gen. Brune is equally guided by these fentimenti, hit royal highness hat taken hit proposals into icoiifideration, aud con fentsto abide by the agreemtnt as it stands jn the answers aanexed to the different *r- tide*. Major general Knox, who is .charged therewith, is authorized to sign and con elude this agreement, at well a* to arrange any points of detail which may arise out of it. It being the duty of every officer com aiming hit Britannic majesty's troops, to i>,ake an exaft report of whatever relates to L'g command, his royal highuefs the Duke <•[ York will of courie lay befere the Briu'fli government every communication which has ken place between hit royal higlmefs and gett.

" Notwithstanding rhe cfr' -rrirh «.hich our laws and regulations relative to infec tious difcafea have been observed, yet our principal city has again been didreflVd by the leturn ot a very deftru&ive one.—Whence it arises, is a question which ilili remains in v«lved in much obfeurity ; but as either of tlic two natural causes to which it is general ly al'cribed, may be the trUe one } every fur ther mean which human sagacity can aevife, ttiould be employed to remeve or countered tliem. If, however, in this ihftance, as in many others, Piovidence is accomplifliing the purpufes of moral government by the in llrumentality of second causes, our future preservation from their calamitous effefts, will depend laore on moral than municipal reforms. .

Ex perience fiiews that impunity invites ngfjref lion, and that liceutioulnei's alwavs derives toleration. Feeling the force of these refle&ionj, I think it 'my duty to press your attention to the daring oppcfi. tiou which has rppeatrdjy, and with fingjilar impunity, been made in the county of Co iumbia, to the jvdicial autborirv «f the state * and to the recent indication, of it which are detailed in the paper! whieh I (ball (,y>e foreyou. fhi manner in which these of. fence, are perpetrated, render* tlwordinary means of suppressing them, in several refpeffU 11.adequate.

It is there be preferred ; and that tlie regular adminif. t ration of justice which protests it, be not interrupted. Whatever r.m be the claimi ' •or.rights of contending individuals, it is their duty to meet each Other in tlie proper courts, and peaceably acqniefce in the justice , of their country ; and it it equally the duty of the government to protest the citirens in in the quiet enjoyment of their property and rights, and to enforce obedience and fubmif- Con to the laws. Although the great and national affairs of w»r and peace <|« not belong to our jurisdic tion, yet such is their importance to ourim inediate welfare, and so great would be our dxnge? 9 if any fallacious profpclU of peace mould mislead us into a state of ill founded Security, that the very jocicious and feafoh* able remarks of our patriotic President on this fubjeft, cannot be two generally known, nor two Arongly impreffcd.
