Some letters received from Holland on Saturday, mention, that the King of Prussia has proposed a new plan of reconciliation between the Stadtholder and the States, the outlines of which are these-- Stadtholder shall abdicate, and retire into Germany for life; that the Princess of Orange shall remain at the Hague, or at Nimeguen as Regent, during minority of her son, who is to be Stadtholder as soon as he comes of age. This plan is evidently founded on the supposed personal dislike the States entertain against the Stadtholder.
