On Friday last, Count Welderen the Dutch envoy, had an audience of his Majesty, relative to dispatches received by him from Holland, the preceding evening, which are said to contain a formal declaration of their High Mightinesses dissatisfaction at the answer sent to them a few weeks since, with regard to the sale of the cargoes of the ships of their merchants, taken by British ships of war, &c. which he had orders to lay before his Majesty. In answer to which, a remonstrance is said to be under consideration, for the better accommodation of affairs, and to prevent the commencement of reprisals on the side of the Dutch, who are unanimously determined to support the freedom of their trade, and protect themselves against the depredations committed on their shipping by the British privateers, &c.
