AMSTERDAM
The fate of this important city, greatly interests the commercial citizens of the United States. At the late hour, we received the intelligence announced in the Centinel we had not time to investigate the authority of the intelligence, and we announced it as we received it.
The alarm it has excited in the merchants, who trade to that city, has induced us to make every inquiry into the subject; and the result is a belief, that Amsterdam was not captured by the French, at the date of the latest accounts from Europe, although the event is not now improbable; for success has made the French Republicans invincible. Several vessels from Europe have been spoken with, the captains of which mentioned the continued success of the French, and that they did not doubt that the French were in Holland.
If Amsterdam has so suddenly fallen into the hands of the French, it must have been by capitulation or treaty. The event of the Dutch making a separate peace with France; is not improbable; and should it take place, it will be highly favorable to the commerce of the United States.
Col. Cent.
