NEW-YORK, August 17.

Tranquility has been restored in the city of Amsterdam since the arrival of a French garrison there; although it consists of only between 1400 and 1500 men; and the public authority has resumed its ascendancy.

On the 29th of May there was a grand fete at Amsterdam in honour of the victories of the French in Italy, at which the minister Noel, the representative Stevensen, and the Commandant of the City assisted. Each of them made a speech on the occasion before the tree of liberty. A like fete was also given at Rotterdam.

We are assured that the Grand Jury at their sittings last week, ordered four bills against persons offending against the act entitled " an act, to prevent the bringing in and spreading of infectious diseases in the state.' -and it is hoped that the prosecutions will be strictly followed up and examples made of those who disregard so repeatedly the directions of the Health Officer whose vigilance for the safety of the city cannot avail if those offending pass with impunity.
