Prince of Orange.--The business of the indemnity to the prince of Orange, for his family property in Holland, is now settled, and the prince's ratification is only wanted to make it publick. Besides three millions of florins in ready money, his serene highness is to receive two millions and a half as a private indemnification, partly in yearly instalments and partly for an annuity, which has to run for one hundred years.

It is reported that the French government does not approve of this arrangement, wishing to have it unsettled until a negociation with England for peace, that it may pay its share either in money, or by restoring the Dutch settlements lately conquered.
