Letters by the last mail received from Holland mention, that at Rotterdam every thing is in motion. The inhabi tants are all packing up their valuables and preparing to leave the town en the firft nearer approach of the enemy, which there is now no adequate force in that quarter to prevent. THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE LIFE OF TKI KING. To the particulars of this infernal plot, given in our paper of yesterday, we have but little to add. The niimber of persons accused of being concerned in it is only four, the whole of whom are now in custody. John Smith, Bookseller, of Portugal street, Lincoln's inn fields, was taken intocudody on Sunday night, charged with being a principal in the conspiracy, and was yederday examined before the Privy Council, as were also those ap prehended en Saturday night, as dated in our lad; all of whom were remanded to piifon, and ordered to be brought up again this day, at eleven o'clock. The name of the person wfio has turned approver is Upton, by trade a watchmaker. He yederday laid before his Majedy's Ministers a model of the dreadful inllrument with which the me ditated murder was to have been ef feftcd. The following is a lift of the Con spirators : La Maitre, Higgins, Smith, Upton, approver, and, as it appears, never seriously involved in the plot. By this Day's Mail. BALTIMORE, Nov. 28 A gentleman of refpe&ability, of this town, padenger in the (hip Richmond, 44 days from Liverpool to Norfolk, arrived yederday in town and be sides the following information, kind ljtprefcnted the printers of this ga zette with the London Chronicle, from the 7th to the 9th of Odtober, from which they have extra&ed as much as time and the limits of their paper would permit.—The information al luded to, as given by this gentleman, is, that some time previous to his leaving London, (which was the 10th ult.) he had been in Holland, and that frotn his own observations on the desperate situation of affairs in that country, he entertains not the ~ leall doubt of its being entirely in lie pujjejjion tf the French. He also in forms, that Mr. Jay had sent impor tant dispatches by the Pigou, which were of the most agreeable complex inn—and that the afpeft of affairs at St. James' portended the most amica ble adjtiftment of all differences be tween this country and Great Britain.

Two thoufend French were killed ; three thousand were made pri soners, among whom were upwards of one hundred officers. Five pieces of cannon were likewise taken Letters from Dufleldorf fay, that from the 15th to the 2.3d of September, general Clairfayt's army loft more than eleven thousand men, in killed and tt'oiinded, besides a great number taken prisoners; above one hundred pieces of cannon, and all the ammunition and bag gage 6f the left wing. On the 24th the French-were still continuing to pur sue and attack the Auflrians wherever they could overtake them, with the evident intention of driving across the Rhine all whom they could not deflroy or take prisoners. It is said that preparations are mak ing for the departure of the Stadtholder of the United Provinces for this coun try, and that part of his effedte have al ready been sent off. The Stadtholder has gone in person to the Bommel to take the neceflary measures for preventing the enemy from crofling the Maefe. We are adured, that the fortrefs of Crevecoeurhas been retaken by dorm on 30th tilt, by the Heflian and Dutch troops stationed on the Isle of Bomrhel. This fact reds upon the bed authority from the Hague, and is generally believ ed by the Dutch government. We can pofitivelv contradict the idle report of a French commiflioner hav ing made his appearance at the Hague or Amderdam. Tallien, in consequence of the at tempt to adaflinate him, seems to have regained much of his popularity, which was evidently on the decline. His par ty, however, has little weight in the convention, and is modly expelled ftora the Jacobin club; but they continue to inveigh againd Barrere, Collot d' Herbois, Levafleur, Dunhem, Carrier, Vadierand Billaud Varennes, the three latter of whom are leading men in the Jacobin club. Yederday several persons of didinc tion arrived in town from Holland. Great numbers of persons were on the eve of embarking for this country as an asylum. General Clairfayt is now at Cologne, against which the enejny zrc said to be advancing in great force, on the near approach of whom it in thought he will pass the Rhine; not judging it prudent to rifle another engagement in the pre sent reduced date of hit army, with such an immense fuperiorityof force as is op poled to him.

Frc m the 13th the pas sages of the Ourte had been forced at Dur by and Combline-au-Pont. It remained to clear the Aywaille river, the banks of which are defended by remarkable steep rocks, and which affords hardly a practi cable paflage for the infantry. The ene my, with 18,000 men, occupied two camps on the right fide of this river, the one at E neur, the other at Sprimont.

We have, however, brought in a num ber of deserters. The loss of the eue my has been much more considerable than I at firft stated. The accounts given by deserters, agree in faying that there are regiments with only 190 men left. As we have been the whole day in the pursuit and in making new dispo sitions, I cannot obtain circum.'lantial details of the brilliant a&ion of yefler day.

Head-quarters 91 Liege, Sept. 19, " I informed you, this morning, that the enemy had abandoned their camp at the Chartreuse. General Jourdan im mediately directed two strong columns of infantry and cavalry to pursue them, the one by Liege, apd the other by Bife. The cavalry made a number of prifonets. Scherer pijfhed his advanc ed guards to Verviers. What 1 told you of the battle of yesterday, is far (hort of the truth. The enemy left more than 2000 men on the field. Se veral of their battalions are reduced to 150 men. Their lofa in artillery is much more con siderable thnn we at firft imagined. To day we have found several pieces of can non and ammunition waggons in .the ra vines and woods. In a Word, the army of Latour seems to have all its artillery. To morrow the army makes a general movement, and we lhall do every thing in our power to take advantage of our victory wit hout hazarding a rpverfe of fortune.— The prifoaers and defcrters allure us, that the language of the Auftrians is much changed. They are weary of the war, and wish for nothing so much as a fpcedy re turn to Germany. We have seen Latour's carriage, hisfecretary, and his papers. Health and fraternity. Old American Company.
