From London and Hamburgh Papers,
On the 2d in (I. a proportion was made iu the
Afu-mMy of Provisional Representatives of Hoi
land, which has been ptiblifhed in our public piints
running in fubftancc as follows :
" As the Freedom and Independence of our
Republic has been recognized by the raoil power
ful people of Europe, and we find in this people a
mighty ally, we mull not lose light of the dangers
that fitrround us on all fides. The influence of the
Orange party is far from being entirely deltrcyed-,
and the Bririlh miniitry leave nothing untried to
raise divisions between the French and Batavian re
publics. This requires o» our part flrong measures;
the more lb as we have proofs in hand, that the
chiefs of that party and their confederates have
formed a plan for a couriter-revolution ; and that
England and I'iuffia endeavour to re-eftablifti the
hereditaryStadtholderfhip. It is known at all hands,
that under favor of a certain foreign power the de
fertioH of our troops has been promoted in such a
manner, that the defertets appear in swarms on
the high roads. The Court of Berlin refufed to
recognize our republic; therefore citizen Van
Rheedtr, our minister near the Prufiian Court, has
delired to be recalled, &c. Sinoe our country is
now threatened with new dangers, new and strong
meafurcs a-: necessary to preserve and maintain our
present liberty and independence."
saw3w
It was therefore refalved, that on the 3d inft. a
solemn deputation chosen from among this afTem
bljr, (hould be sent to the States General. In con
sequence of this resolution, the Citizens, Paulus,
Halm, Geycrs, Bofteld, Loncq, Cerkhond, Wef
trick, Fennekol, Van Ordeti, Hawens, La Pierre,
and H. Gevers were nominated to propose, and in
the mod forcible manner, in the name of this
province :
1 ft. That notice be given by the States General,
to the minifteis of this Republic at Paiii, ot the
desertion of a part of our army, which is insreafed
by the reception they meet with in foreign terri
tories.
3awi m.
2d. That the said ministers (hall be charged to
communicate the fame, and deliver the lalt difpateh
es which this Stats received from its minister at
Beilin, Citizen Van Rheede, to the committee of
public fafety.
3d. That the said miniftcrs shall also lay before
the Committee of publio fafety, the articles called
secret, in the treaty concluded between Prussia and
France on the sth April. /
4'h. That the ministers shall require of the
French government, to procure from the court of
Berlin a fpecdy explanation concerning the recep
tion given to the deserter* from the army of Hol
land, on the Prussian territory ; and obtain alf«* a
declaration from the King of Prussia, that he will
never permit an armed force 10 aflemble on his ter
ritory, against this republic; also, that the contents
of the said secret articles be publicly conti-n,J[f\ e( J
and difavowe4 by the French government.
sth. That the said ministers demand of the
French government, to inform the Court of Ber
lin of the treaty of friendfhip alliance conclu
ded between the French and this republic ; in or
der that the said court of Berlin, may acknowledge
the independence of the Batavian republic, and
grant admission to a minister sent by u« for that
ptirpofe.
tw&f3t,
Bciides these, other representations, refpe&ing
the reorganization of the army, were sent to the
States General, whieh the assembly concluded thus :
" The committee declares, in the name of the
assembly, that-they bind themselves to unite, as one
man,againll all violence, disorder and anarchy fiom
without or within ; and make an offer of their lives
and property for the support of the grand inter«ft»
of their country ,• that t>y these means alone the li
berty of the people of Holland can be maintained,
the machinations of foreign and internal enemies
baffled, and an uninterrupted enjoyment of a well
ordered liberty and independence, secured t# fu
ture gcnerai!on«. The assembly of Holland ex
pects also, that the States General, animated by the
fame sentiment will without difficulty agree unarri
mouflv to make a declaration to the fame purpurt,
and that the United Provinces will solemnly engage
to support effe&nally one another to the lafl breath
and make an offer of their lives and property to
the republic."
In consequence of the remonflrances of the As
sembly of Holland, the States General resolved on
the 4th instant :
ill. That without resumption, the inftruftions
proposed by the Province of Holland ; (hall be
transmitted to the Citizens, Blauw and Meyer, the
Ministers at Paris.
2d. That without resumption, the army of the
State (hallbe organized agreeable te the plan pro
pofedbythe Committee of Confederation, on the
Bth June lad.
3d. The provinces of Guelderland, Sealand,
Utrecht and OveryfTel, take upon themfeltes to fur
ni(h speedily the necessary funds to the Military
Committee.
4th. The Committee of Confederation (hall be
ordered te draw up a proclamation against the E
migrants and deserters who arm tliemfelves against
the Republic^
3«W6W
Lastly. The Deputies ef the refpefkive Provinces
and the three Ministers of the States General, de
clare also like the Assembly of Holland, that they
make an offer of their lives and property to ahe Re
public, and swear to unite as one man againfl all
violence, disorder and anarchy ; the Deputies, who
know the sentiments of their conftitucnts, being
convinced that the latter will ftipport their Repre
sentatives to the utmost of their power, and oppose
all violeiU'Cj disorder and anarchy, .from within or
without.

Yellerday the Danish frigate Hayfruen and the
Swedilh frigate Galathe failed for the North Sea,
to cruise there some time. The Danilh and Swe
dish united fleets continue to lie in our road, which
with the Ruffian, make a grand appearance, there
being at leatt 28 (hips and at many frigates, besides
cutters, &e. The Ruffian Admiral has visited the
Swedish and Danish Admirals ships, and these Ad
mirals have returned the visit. It is expected the
Ruffian fleet will tak« its departure in a few days.
HAMBURGH, July 20.
Letters from Holland, and Paris* all agree that
the landing of the Emigrant* in Britanny under th«
eover ef the Englilh, is an unhappy event, but
the accounts of the bufinefsare various. By one
letter w« learn, that the Emigrants, on their laud
ing, were surrounded so that not one of them esca
ped, and that several of the English transport ships
were blown up withied hot balls. Another account
fays 2000 men were put to thefword, and the itft
made way for their ships, but that in so doing ma
ny fell. News was received in London the 10th,
(which is the date of our last accounts from thence)
that two republican columns under Gen. Hoche,
were opposed to the Emigrants. By to morrows
pest out of Holland, we expedt to hear the truth
with certainty.
From aceaunts received from the southern parts
ef Franye, it appears that fhameful attrocities have
recently been committed that quarter, particu
larly in Provence. The Moiviteur ot the 9th init.
mentions, that at Tarafcoo, where the prisons have
heretofore been broke open, the prisoners murder
ed, and the murdered thrown into the Rhone, these
barbarities were, on the 2id of June, repented, and
from 50 or 60. prisoners were murdered ; that at
Sifteron, ane of the diftrift tribunals set at liber
ty a citizen of the name of BrefTard, 50 years old,
arid father of three children, who wa« buried alive,
and then put upon the lift of emigrants : that at
Digne also a citizen who had been set at liberty,
was killed by the prefeßt murdering feft ; and at
Aries, all friends of the Revolution, Patriots, Fe
deralills, Gironditk, and Moderates, are again im
prisoned or hnnted away ; that, at T arafcon the
number of murdered men, women and children a
moußts, from five to fix hundred, and that the banks
of the Rhone are now as those of the Loire were
heretofore, covered to the Sea with dead bodies,
which serve as food for the beads of prey.

by the mod daring robberies ; that in the eyes of

Bois Hardy, one of the Chiefs of the Chouans,
having fallen in a a&ion near Lambelle, the soldiers
disputed with one another the honor of cutting off

Chouans, 200 of their soldiers and 15 officers
were murdered by the Terrorists ; that the mur

of the most atrocious members of the ancient Re

DANTZICK, June 23.
The grain trade, which made a considerable part
of our exportation, mud neeeflarily fuffcr from a
maritime war, and particularly by a war, in which
the system to intercept p:ovifions for an enemy's
port is one of the effe&s of an obstinate an inhuman
hatred, which distinguishes it from all other wars
in the hifcory of the world. But a greater embar.
rafiner.t arises from a more permanent source of evil,
from the Pruffiaa authoi ity established in this place.
From the report of Svruenfee, sent to examine our
affairs, the court of Berlin h*d fcartely permitted
the exportation of grain to a certain amount, be
fore, on th« 6th inft. a total prohibition of grain
on the account of any stranger, till the harvest,
arrived. Thus Europe begins to feel the effects of
our change of matters, and more and wore experi
ences, that the evils of Poland are dirtreffing in
their consequence* to all people who inhabit the
globe. v
By letters from Peterfburgh we learn, that the
Ruffian fleet furnifhed to England, was ready to
fail from Cfonlladt on the 14th, confiding of 12
(hips of the line and 8 frigates, under admiral Ha
nikoff, and that live days after was to fail another
squadron of 19 (hips of the line and 4 frigates.—
This squadron, to be ttationed in the Baltic, had
6 fhlps of 100 gan<, ipof74, and 3 ef 66 guns.
Adm. Haaikoff's squadron had 4 (hips of 74 and 8

proceeded to the Government House.
We learn, that President Waftlington, did not
sign the Treaty, as was before reported, previous
to his journey to Mount Vernon, but i wo or three
days after liji return to Philadelphia, having firft
advised with his Council and the Judges. Having
made up his mind on ike propriety oj'giving his
fandtion to the Treaty, he ratified it with a dignity
and fitinnefs, that reflects the highest honor on him,
regarding more the dclibeiate judgment of poste
rity, than the approbation of the democratic mad
men of the present age.—A little time will now

fufiicient energy to make its public adfs to be ref

be able to involve theif country in a new fccne of
revolutionary misery.
From the Salim Gaz«tti
We are unhappy in hearing from our
that the rancour with which the eontroverfits about
the treaty have bean managed, has ended as we ex
pected in riots and quarrels. The abuses offered to
the President, and in turn to Judge Rutledge, and
the eppefers of the measures of government, arif«
from the fame base paflioss as display themselves if»
Arret quarrels, and infamous procefiions of images,
and clubs and the rabble. He who < m defcentj to
the firft is always capable of the last. And if hi»
education will not fuffer him to follow his inclina
tion at once, he is sure to provoke others, wh,>
have no such reftrafntsand no idea of any different c
between written abuse and personal insult, and who
can'have bo other talents than such as encourage
the faenhee of the public quiet, by bonfires, tu
mults, and massacres. God deliver the Boftonian*
from the last, and for their salvation may thev be
m»re cautious of that abuse, which will certainly 1
Itra/W> tVi/- worst of calamities. We hear from
Portsmouth that an protcil ttm
measures of the town, di&ated fiom Bolton, haa
pre voked the fame riots as have dishonoured our
capital in the last week. We are happy in our own
quiet, though our opinions are different. In thai
peaee of our city, we have peace.
