So little confidence is placed in the veracity of the Dutch prints, that the account of the seizing and imprisoning the Stadtholder's Royal consort, is generally discredited; though it is certain, that the public relation of that event are corroborated by private letters from Holland.

By a gentleman, who arrived from Amsterdam, last week we are informed, that every thing relative to mob commotions was perfectly quiet; though he says, at the same time, that the animosity of parties seems so violent and rooted, that however lenient measures may restore the peace of Government, nothing but time can establish it amongst individuals.
