Last week, there were disturbances in Amsterdam, caused by the

resistance of a number of the poorest class of inhabitants to the collection of some odious taxes. The military soon put down the rioters ; but the spirit of discontent is said to be very prevalent.

An attempt was made, on Tuesday, to assassinate the Duke of SAXE WEIMAR, in his tent near Brcda, between which place and Tilburg there was a grand review of troops by the Dutch King. The assailant attempted to force his way into the tent, e here the Duke was dressing ; but he was prevented by the sentries. He is said to be quite mad.
