Tl.c !I Ttivian o!R. i.tl Journal
nf ihe 16m ii.ll. notices the artu
clcs lately infrrtcd in the London
papers ailert'.ng, that pcritnirion
would probably be I. on granted
for ti e rc.itw-l of the c* mmer
cial rcl t o is between this coun
try a'd Britain, and that it has
already been permitted to export
from hence to Great Britain, ar
ticles of foreign produce; alio,
.hat Britiih manu acturers may
be imported into Holland on the
payment of 7 1-2 per cent, and
rhat in confequencc, confiderablc
orders had been received in Lon
don from their correspondents in
this country.
“ One cannot but be allonifii
ed,” lay the official Journal, “at
the notorious effrontery wirh
which this erois uncurb is f.ilit
ed on the public, which can on
ly have rhis twofold difgraceful
obj Cf—fint, to represent the
Batavian government as tramp
ling upon che regulation, by a
mere apparent execution of its
laws emitted in co j.mftion with
it* ally, ag inlf the common e-n
----eon,’—and lec indly, rentier such
natives of tins country, who
might be imprudent enough to
emit this fabrication, and who
ought regulate their commercial
f tdilation iii conformity thereto
ny co-.iii lerable loss, tne victims
of their imprudence & credulity.
“I is therefore of the utmost
-on'tqucncc to contradict such
intelligence, which is fa'le, and
deftitucc of all not
only bv thepofitive afierClOn, thac
•he* nation's high and inferior
officers conrinue to receive the
mod rigid orders to redouble their
vigilance, not only for difeover
mg aid preventing all prohibited
importations and exportatsons,
but a so by the good consequen
ces rclulting therefrom; which
is evident in the following ficetch
of the amount of goods laely
feizrd, and effected within ? very*
lhort period of time, on which
fenteqee’ has partly been alrea ly
palled by the judge for confirma
tion, and partly depending for
investigation, viz.
About ioo bales, binds
chests of Britiih manufactures,
bt ikies the cargo of a veil'd seiz
ed, and othe; packs *nd bales
found in fmhools; further more
than one hundred and forty ham
pers of Brkifh earthenware,
“ One dare hardly suppose
that fueh ir*niligence was sent
from this country to Britain ;
but if it be lb, it can have no
o'her tendency than that, in ge
neral, of representing the go
vern;.ear, lfpollible, in a fus
piciou* light, and of bringing
new difalters on this republic,
It was to be widied, and it
would render the government an

IP‘Tint getting intelligence of
di : culpable importation and rx
portjtion of merchandize, would
bring lumlelf to give informa
