before learnt, of the 1

of the French flotilla in the

over : and we are pleaied to'
learn, that the flrong and,
important battery and works
of Bremeiloe were taken
from the French by the in
habitants of that the
country. #
We learn that a person of'
note arrived in town yester
day from Holland, who if
is ia:d, ha> come for the ex
press purpose of inviting the;
fhinee of Orange over to;
that country. He repre-'
fetus the Dutch to be in a
forward state to receive him (
and to fecopd the efforts of]
their German neighbors, for:
the liberation of the conti-l,

this, we are told, govern
