combined forces. At the commencement the Tin kifh Com
mander gained fome advantage, lb much lo that he took
fome redoubts; but bis success was of fliort duration. Pas
s 1 wan Oglou was prepared for this attack, and had projected
mines not far from the city; as soon as his opponents bad
reached the I’pot lliat he wilhed, under a mod heavy can
nonade, lie sprung his mines, and made Inch a terrible
daughter and confuiion among!! tlie aflailants that the army
■which blockaded him was not able to form in three da) s.
About zooo mm were left dead, and a great number more
horridly wounded, which created great confuiion in the

long debate, a decree had been pa Ted by the Logilk'ire,
by which’ llitps arriving from this country before the Mil

to return back without landing thtir cargoes; and after Ih.lt
all goods whatever coming from Great Britnin, either rii
recdlv or indireftly, are liable to lx; ftized; and ptrfons
carrying on any kind of mrrcfpcndence with tils country

TTii3 decree is fraught with great milehief to tlie Dutch,
as it deprives them of what little trade is Hi!! carried on in
this country, and of courie die duties payable on tlie im
portation of goods.
To this misfortune is to be added, the capture cf nearly
all the Dutch Greenlandmen, and the failure of the herring
fdhery, no herring busies having been fitted out this year.
This branch of the lifliery formerly employed about 20,000
