with av expression of his deep concern at finding himself

supplied, to ena’ste him chectually to assist the Alited Po-
wers compmiticd against Irance in a struggle for (heir ine
dependence, have not been vainly bestowed 5 and his Roy -
al Highness is persuaded they will bearlily share with him

taken place on the Coprtinent are calcutated (o afiord,
With him they will resoice to see the mighty comtest care

to the disappointnicnt and discomficure of the con mon

of his Royal Highness will be expressed, that they will

bring the contest to a speedy termination, ‘The perfeet
concert, confidence, and friendship, which unites England
with Russia, Prussia, and Sweden, will be announced,
together with the accession of Austriaand Bavaria tu the
cause of independence. The enthusiastic valour of Rus-
sia, which was last vear gloriously triumphant in its own
defence, is now seen victorious on the banks of the Saale,
magnaninously contending for the liberties of Europe in
Germany. ‘The then principal allies and dependants of
France, emancipated from her rule, are now arayce againtt
her, and presenta formidable barricr to the ambition of
her ruler; anda confident hope may be expressed that
the general rising of the German States will be crowned
with success commensurate with the zeal by which they

own independence on a firm basis. and restore the Sover-
eigns of Europe to their ancient rights. ‘he continuance
of the war between this country and the United States of
America will no doubt be alluded to. Constantly actu-
ated by the sincerest desire to reestablish the relations of
peace and amity between the two countrics, no exertions
on our part have been wanting to adjust the existing dif.
ferences. ‘The pretensions of the American government
have hitherto made it impossible for his anxious efforts to

hostile attempts on Uppér Canade have continued to prove
abortive, and their troops have repeatedly been defeated
with considerable loss, while the operations of his Majes-
ty’s combined naval and military forces in that quarter,
directed against their coasts, have been gencrally crowned
with the most complete success. It is most consoling to
know that the bluw directed against our commerce has
failed of doing this country any material injary, and has
recoiled on the encmy. Our improving trade isa subject
of higit satisfaction. A great portion of that commerce
formerly conducted through the medium of America, is
now carried on in British bottoms, with additional benefit
(o the merchants and manufacturers of this country. The
effects of this cannot but bo felt severely in the Unitad
States. Ifis Royal Highness will express his reliance on
the cordial support of Parliament, to enable him to perse-
vere in the measures adopted to oppose the designs of the
enemy, in the hope that the vigorous prosecution of the
war will Jead to the attainment of a peace, consistent with
the honor and maritime rights of Great Britain, The es-
timates of the services for the ensuing year will be laid be-
fore the ITouse of Commons, and reliance will be placed
on their readiness to furnish such supplies as shall appear
necessary to enable his Royal Mishness to put forth those
cmergics nthe great canse ot Lurope, which the magnitude
of the struggle demands, and which will atYurd the best
prospect of bring the contest in which his Majesty is ens
gaged toa successful issue, The tiaportance of possessing
at this juncture a powerful disposable force, it wiil be
unnecessary tu cndvavour to impress; and the wisdom of
Partiament will enable his Royal dlighness largely to avaii
lusoclf of the military resources of the country. It is
probable that his Royal Highuess will recommend to their
carly Consideration such messures as may enable him to
aidord the most effectual assistauce to the allied powers on
(necontinent in the grand contest in which dhey are euga-
aed, andia che result of which this country must neces.
sacily feel itself so deeply interested. Tu the loyalty of
the people, and in’ Che wisdom of Parliament, his Royal
Uizlness reposes the fullest confidences, satistied that that
consabcy aud iirmness which has so lung attacked the
ediniraQou of all burope, wil: experience uo diminution
in this, the crisis of its fate; and that, with the blessiug
of Divine Providence, Chey will triumph over every dif.

ders thanks to God.
@ JLuondon, Nov. 22.--'The Counter-revolution in
Tolland, which has given another ally to (his coun-
try, asd another enemy to the enemy of the human
race, was effected with all the steadiness and resolu-
tion of the Dutch character, and with less bloodshed
than coull have been expected, considering the op-
presston under which the Dutch have groaned for so
Inany years.
On Monday, the 14th, when the rising was deter-
mined upon, one of the leading Patriots proceeded to
the residence of Le Bran, the Dake of Placentia, the
the Governor of {lolland. Ue had the Orange coc-
kade in his hat and on his breast, be addressed Le
Brun as follows :—* You may easily guess by these
‘colours for what purpose [ am come, and what
“ovents are about lo take place. You, who are now
“ihe weakest, know that we are the strongest. You
‘twilldo wisely and prudently to take your departure
“with all possille speed, and the sooner you do it,
“the less you will expose yourself to insult, and,
“possibly, to danger.”? To this address Le Brun
replied, ‘I have, Sir, for some time expected such
‘‘a message, and I very willing accede to your pro-
‘position, to take my departure immediately.” ‘In
“that case,” satd the Patriot. ‘1 will see you into
“your coach without loss of time.” This was accord-
ingly done. But by this time the people had assem-
bled and surrounded the coach, with loud cries of
Orange boven, up, Orange,—down Buonaparte.—
Lhe Patriotaccompanied him in the coach out of the
town, and no violence was offered him except that he
was obliged by the people to cry out, long live the
Prince of Orange! and to wear the Orange cockade
metoo Lappy, no doubt, to get off so well. IIaving

Iiench Donaniers and threw them into the river.
All the watch-houses of the Pouaniers and three of
their vessels were burat. We have not heard of any
bloodshed in any other place except at Utrecht.
There the garrison made come resistance to the Pa-
(riots. But the latter fired upon them, and some 10
or 12 were killed on each side. The earrison then
laid down ther arms, and were permitted (o depart.
I¥ was Friday last at four in the afternoon that the
Orange Flag was hoisted with great solemnity at
Rotterdam. There was a vast concourse of people
ofall ranks, who greeted tne Ensign of Liberty with
unanimous and heartfelt acclamations. The preced-
ing day, about noon, the French General Bouvet
marched out the Hague at the head of 200 soldiers,
mostly Germans, in concequence of a sort of capitu-
lation with the inhabitants. No sooner, however,
had he rached Ysselmonde, about 12 miles from
the Hague than his troops hoisted the Orange coc-
kade, dispatched him, and joined the Patriots. At
Leyden a Provisional Goycrnment was appointed,
consisting of the Baron van Boetzelaer, J. van Bom-
mel, and W. van Kluit. At Rotlerdam the Patriots
nominated Mssrs. van Hogendorp and d’Leuiy to
the chief command. Such was the alarm of the
French, that they evacuated every strong place ex-
ceplGorcam. Bergen op Zoom, Bred, Nimeguen,
were occupied by the Patriots; but the gates of
Maastricht had been shut by the Burghers, who had
declined to admit any stranger, wheather of the
Orange parfy or French.
The first (hing naturally thauchi after the Counter-
revolution was, (o restore the freedom of the Press.
The Hague Courant was iminediately restored with
the arms and other symbols of the old Government.
We have reeieved the first number printed last Pri-
day. It details the proceedings that had taken place
there and in other parts of Holland. Leyden Gazette
has also been revived. Creat anxiety was mani-
fested in all the ports forthe arrival of (he Aflies from
the Nastward, and ofa navaland military force from
this couutry. ‘The Crown Prince wis expected
Utrecht last Saturday or Sunday, and as he was cer-
tainly at Cassel on the Ist, he mieht casily reach Ut-
recht by the 19th or 20th. But we can hardly see
the necesstty of the Allies entering Holland in creat
force. The French have no longer any hold of the
country. ‘There are not likely to be any ExCcsses
commilled. The Duteh are unanimous for the res-
oration of their old Government. We should be
glad to find the Crown Prinee direct his Steps to-
wards the Necherlands, and take \nowerp from the
land side. The existence of the Dutch Republic as
an independent Staite, depends upon the Netherlands
being wrested from France. We have tire authority
even of Buonaparte for saying this, ‘the union of
Hollind to France was the nece ssary Consequence of
the unton to Belginm. The disunion of Belgium
from France must follow the disunion of Holland from
Mrance. Of the necessity of this measure, the Allies,
we believe, are firmly persuaded.
dhic greatest activity prevails in the different de-
partments to send of troops and ships to our new Ally,
the Dutch Republic. The force intended to be sent
will amount to nearer 10,000 men than 5000. All
the non-commissioned officers and privates belonging
lo the three regiments of Foot Guards, quartered in
Westminster and the barracks in its vicinity, assem-
bled yesterday morning at 9 o ‘clock, on the parade
in St. James’s Park, and marched to the barracks
on the South side of the Park, for the purpose of
being inspected, previous to their embarkation.
They had afterwards all their marching necessaries ;
coats, trowsers, &c. delivered. Carts, waggons, and
other means of conveyance were pressed for their
conveyance from London. For the first time, two
militia regiments did duty at the Palaces, the Not-
tingham and the Stafford. The different regular
regiments proceed from the following places to Har-
wich and Yarmouth.

Downing-strect, November 24.
The Marquis of Worcester has arrived with a dis-
patch, of which the following is a copy, addressed to
(he Parl Bathurst by the Marquis of Wellington,
dated.
My Lorn, St. Pe, Novo. 18, 1813.
The enemy have, since the beginning of August,
occupied a position with their right upon the sea, in
front of St. Jean de Juz, and on the left of the Nivel-
le, their centre on La Petite La Rhune in Sarre, and
onthe heights behind the village, ard their left, con-
sisting of two divisions of infantry, under Comte
@Ierlon, on the right of that river, ona strong height
in rear of Anhoue, and oa the mountain of Moadarin,
which protected the approach to that village: they
had one division under Gen. Foy at St. Jean Pied de
Port, which was joined by one of the army of Arra-
gon, under Gen. Paris, at the time the left of the al-
licd army crossed the Bidassoa on 7th October; Ge-
neral Foy’s division joined those on the heights be-
hind Anhoue, when Licut.-Gen. Sir R. Hill moved
into the valley of Bastan.
The enemy, not satisfied with the natural streneth
of this position, had the whole of it fortified, and their
right, in particular, had been made so strong, that
[ did not deem it expedient to attack it in front.
Pamplona having surrendered on the Slst of Oct.
and the right of the army having been disengaged
from covering the blockade of that place, I moved
Licut.-Gen. Sir Rowlond Hill, onthe 6th and 7th,
into the valley of Bastan, as soon as the slate of the
roads, after the recent rains, would permit intending
to altack the enemy on the Sth instant ; but the raim
which fell on the 7th inst. having again rendered the
roads impracticable, 1 was oblived to defer the attack
till the 10th, when we completely succeeded in car-
rying all the positions on the enemy’s left and centre,
in separating the former from the latter, and by these
means turning the enemy’s strong positions occupied
by their right on the Lower Nivelle, which they
were obliged to evacuate during the night, having
taken 51 pieces of cannon, and 1400 prisoners.

[ was obliged to defer our further operations tll the
following morning.
The enemy evacuated Ascain in the afternoon, of
which village Lieutenant General Don Manuel Mreyre

tons in front of St. Jean de Laz during the night,
and retired upon Pedart, destroying all the bridges
onthe Lower Niville. Licutenant-CGleneral the Ton.

faras the state of the roads after a violent tall of rain
world allow: and the enesy retired again on (he
night of the 1th, into an entrenched cup iia front
of Bayonne.
In the course of the operations of which T have
given your Lordship an outline, in which we have
driven the enemy from positions which they had been
fortifving with ereat labour and cure for three months
In which we have taken 5) pieces of cannon, six
(umbrils ofammunition, and 1,400 prisoneis, T have
creat satisfaction ta reporling the good conduct of all
(he officers and troops. ‘The report tiself will shew
how much reasen Thad to be satisfied with the cone

General Sir Rowland Uhl, who directed) the attack

Our loss, althoueht severe, has not been so creat as

not dangeronsly wounded + and that we have lost, in

"RENCH PAPERS,
Paris Nov. 20—Tis Majesty yesterday presided
ata Council of State at St. Cloud: he decreed at it
(he creation of two armies of 100,000 men each :
the
one shall be formed at Turin, the othe
rat Bourdeaux.
Nov. 21.—-Yesterday evening were presented to
fake the vath, by his Excellency the Prince Arch-
Chancellor of the Knspire :—
Count Mole, appointed Grand Judge Minister of
Justice ;
The Duke of Bassano, inquality of Minister Se
lary of State ;
The Dake of Vicenza, in quality of Minister for
Foreign Affairs :
Count Daru, in quality of Minister for the Admi-
nistration of War: and.
Baron Costas, in quality of Director General of
Bridges and Roads.
His Majesty has appointed Ministers of State, the
Duke of Massa and Count de Cessac -
Ccre-
anc expressed
to them the satisfaction their services bad aflurded
View original him, and the desire which he had that they should
continue to assist him with their advice and gool
counsel, the state of health of those Ministers haying
been the only reason of their retiring.
His Majesty appointed General Count Bertrand
Grand Marshal of the Palace: Macshal the Duke of
Albufera, to the place of Colonel General of the
Guard, vacant by the Death of the Duke of Istria:
the Generals of Division Count Regnier, Count La-
bord, Count Charpentier, Baron Curial, and Lara
Maison, Graud Crosses of the Luperial Order of the
e-union,.
Amsterdam, Nov. 15.—The troops of the 17th di-
Vision are animated with the best spirits a great part
of them have been concentrated near the frontier to
guarantee the territory.
The interior tranquillity is confided to the National
Guards.
The Amsterdam National Guard has for sone days
performed the interior duty : it distinguished its: Lf
by a spirit of order, which has gained it the esteem
of all the citizens.
Strashurg, Nov. 16.—The neiehbourhood of the
fort of eh] is guarded in such a manner as to leave
no fear on that side.
The [thine separates, between Mentz and our town,
the belligerent troops. Hitherto the enemy have re-
mained very tranguil upon the opposite bank. Our
side iy well furnished with troops. They have re-
doubled at Cologne their preparations tor defence.
The fortresss of Weseland that of Dusseldort have
been placed in the best state of defence. We have
here, as well as in our neighbourhood, many troops,
Several detachinents trom the Qd resiment of the
Cruards of Honour have also just arrived.
Paris, Nov. 21.—A nation equally generous as
enlightened, and so powerfulas the French nation,
need only be faithiu. to itself, and second the wishes
of its Government, te preserve its rank among nati-
ons, and conround the projects of its enemies. — Efis-
tory is filled with remarkable facts, which prove that
dangers have raised her courage, and that she has
always proved herself superior to events,
‘Ve mast now vive fo our descendants that exam-
ple which we hase received from our fo etather.
The hereditary glory of the Freuch people must ne-
ver be tarnished.
Should there be hearts frozen by egotism capable
of regarding with indifference the dangers of the
country, let the sentiments of their o vninteret rouse
(hem. All thatihey now hold in social socicty,— the
salvation of individuals—depenids upon the salvation
ofall, ‘Phe humiliating yoke of a foreigner would
insult,—pitlage would bear on all heads, on all tor-
Gunes; and bitter ucavatline regrets would inn edi-
ately follow Inactivity, Or want oO! zeal in citi ecs.
Tiis England which is before us: Eneland is in
our enemy’s camps :—il is for her.—it is to SUISiV
her mextinguishable hatred against Mrance, that the
aations of the North liave been retin motion, THa-
(red against France is the patriotism of kuelishmen,
Who ts the Frenchman that at this tlea isto read
to seize his arms, andexclaim ; no! never shal France
bend her neck to England.
This noble sentiment is in the heart oevery Frerch-
man, i we may form our judement of it by the act-
vity of the brave men destined to defend our frontiers,
and proceed tothe post of honour. A praise-worthy
emulation animates the departments ; and we think it
i duty to particularise those who distinguish them-
selves by their zeal, and by their energy. We shall
say of them, that they have deserved well of theic
country.
