fraudulent part under the present circumstances, must be regarded as an enemy to his country, and shall not go unpunished. We order all Dutch magistrates to remain at their posts, and in the discharge of their duties we place them under the protection of all patriotic Dutch men. We also confide in that spirit of order which has ever distinguished the Dutch people; that in all the offices of authority, and especially in those of the administration of justice, every one will continue in the faithful and uninterrupted performance of his duty, according to the laws still in force. We command and order all authorities of departments, cities, and towns, to make known and affix the present proclamation, according to the usual forms. Done at the Hague, this 21st of Nov. 1813.

Movements of the Crown Prince.-He liberates Hanover. -Extracts from the London Gazettes on the Liberation of Holland, &c.-The Crown Prince marches against Davoust.-The Danes separate from the French.The Crown Prince overruns Holstein and Sleswic.Capitulation of the French at Dresden, WHILE the allied grand army was directing its march towards the Rhine near Mentz, the crown prince with the army of the north moved towards Cassel his object was to enter Holland in order to liberate the Dutch; but this route he was induced to alter for several reasons. Davoust was still in considerable force on the right bank of the Elbe, where the army under Walmoden was not sufficiently powerful to oppose him. Before, therefore, the northern army could act with perfect safety and with full effect in Holland, it was expedient and desirable that its rear should be entirely secure : besides by marching against Davoust, there was a probability of rescuing Hamburgh from his devastation, and of opening, through it, an immediate communication with England. The crown prince, in changing his plan of operations, had still another object in view, which was the liberation of his majesty's Hanoverian dominions. On the 1st of November, the allied troops entered them :-"The enthusiasm, loyalty, and unbounded joy of the people are not to be described; and although ten years had separated this country from their legiti mate sovereign, it is obvious (sir Charles Stewart remarks in his official dispatch) he lives in their hearts with the same deep-rooted affection as ever!" "It is a remarkable and gratifying anecdote (he adds) that during the elevation of new authority, and the destruction of every ancient memorial, the bust of our revered monarch (which, I believe, was a present of her majesty's to the professors and students) has retained its place in this university, (Gottingen) and no sacrilegious hand has ever offered to remove it!" "Nov. 21, 1813. The baron Perponcher and Mr James Fagel have arrived this day from Holland, deputed by the provisional government, which has been established in that country, to inform his royal highness the prince regent and his serene highness the prince of Orange, that a counter-revolution broke out in part of the United Provinces on Monday last, the 15th instant, when the people of Amsterdam rose in a body, proclaiming the house of Orange with the old cry of Orange boven, and universally putting up the Orange colours. This example was immediately followed by the other towns of the provinces of Holland and Utrecht, as Haarlem, Leyden, Utrecht, the Hague, Rotterdam, &c. The French authorities were dismissed, and a temporary government established and proclaimed in the name of the prince of Orange, and, until his serene highness's arrival, composed of the most respectable members of the old government, and chiefly of those not employed under the French. Amsterdam, Nov. 16, 1813. The events of last night have shown the necessity of appointing without delay an administration in this great city, which in its form and composition may insure the confidence of the good citizens. In consequence, the officers of the Schuttery (armed burghers) have agreed to undertake the establishment of such an administration; and a number of the most respectable inhabitants have been called out and invited by them to take upon themselves, at so critical a moment, the honourable and interesting task of effecting every thing that can contribute to prevent or stop the incalculable evils of anarchy. The following gentlemen have been this day ap pointed, desired, and authorised to regulate and divide among themselves the functions, in the manner they shall judge most expedient: Mr J. C. VAN DER HOOP. And twenty others. Amsterdam, Nov. 16, 1813. The colonel and chief of the municipal guard, who has the great satisfaction of acquainting the public with the above circumstances, cannot let pass this opportunity, without admonishing his fellow citizens in the most earnest manner to behave with temper and moderation; and at the same time manifesting his expectation and wishes, that the joy which will be excited by these events, may not in duce or mislead the inhabitants to improper behavi our towards any persons whatsoever, or to pillage or plunder any private or public buildings, since the officers and all the members composing the mu nicipal guard are strictly resolved to repel with all the powers of which they are in possession, all and any trespasses which may be committed, to the end that the perpetrators receive due punishment for their offences. (Signed) The colonel and chief of the municipal guard. G. C. R. R. VON BRIENEN "In the name of his highness the prince of Orange. LEOPOLD, Count of Limburg Stieum, governor of the Hague. As the blessed restoration is fast approaching, 1 give notice to all the inhabitants of the Hague, that their wishes will soon be fulfilled, and that a provi sional government will immediately be established, to provide for every thing, until his serene highness shall appear among us. In the mean time I invite all good citizens to watch for the preservation of peace and order. I promise to the lowest a day of rejoicing, at the public expence; but I warn every one who would pillage and plunder, that the heaviest penalties will be inflicted upon them." From Sir Charles William Stewart, dated Gottingen, Nov. 2, 1813. "My lord,-The intended movement of the mainbody of the army of the north on Cassel, as detailed in my last dispatch, has been arrested, and the prince royal has been induced to direct his operations towards Hanover and the North, for the following reasons: Marshal Davoust is still in position on the right bank of the Elbe, and seems very unwilling to separate from the Danes, so long as he can retain his hold; the corps of lieut.-gen. Walmoden is not of sufficient force to act offensively without considerable aid.
