NEW-YORK, February 21.
From AMSTERDAM.
Last evening arrived the ship Birmingham Packet, captain Miller, from Amsterdam—57 days from the land. Captain Miller brings accounts from Amsterdam about the 15th of December: He states, that at his departure no late intelligence was received from the armies on the continent—that the prospects of peace were considered as very unpromising—that he landed an English pilot at Dover, on the 24th December, who informed him, he, among others, had received orders to proceed to Russia, to take charge of a fleet of men of war bound from thence to England; the death of the empress was reported—discontents prevailed in Holland; and it was reported the king of Prussia had evinced a disposition for interfering again in their political concerns.
The French troops were almost entirely withdrawn from Holland. At a late hour we received some Leyden papers—they do not appear to contain any thing material. We shall give, however, some selections from them to-morrow.
