A few (lays ago there was a riot at Amsterdam,

which gave the Government much uneasiness. It arose from the resistance of the owners of small houses to the tax-collectors. The small landlords in Rotterdam and Amsterdam are very numerous, and possess great influence over their poor tenantry. They formed themselves into an association to resist the payment of the tax; and upon the occasion in question, one of them barricadoed his house against the officers of Government. A mob soon collected to aid him in his resistance to the authorities ; who thought it prudent to retire, and give up all attempts to enforce payment of the impost.
