IVotattiv4; Nov. 30.—Wcdnieday the 24th inst. was certainly the most dreadful lay ever known in this town, and which has been productive of general sorrow and extreme misery: On the pre ceding evening, about 250 men of the National (kiln*, front the Hague, with two piccei of can non, now appeared before this town', and demand ed o f thei're n cb Commandant,' who .had posses sjort of it with about twenty-five men of his oWn nation, to surrender it. This was fulfilled, and on the ,same evening the town received its new garrison. On the following morning, being the 2,ith. November aforesaid, this new garrison was 'unexpectedly surprised by a very numerous botliof French troops from Utrecht, provided with some pieces of artillery, and after a skirmish, in which some men tell on both sides, taken by storm: Now commenced the dre4 , lful plundering, devaitation, and inhuman murders ; the houses which could trot be opened , in account of theffoors and wilidows haAng, been Itsteved, were beaten open by artil lery; cabinet, chests, and boxes were cut and broken opc:i, the.ready money,•uneoinsal gold and silver, jewels, linen and clothing stolen : valhable papers des,troye.l, - glasse3, china; and 'other earth enware, broken and thrown into,the street ; the poor inhabitants, alre•itdy f . iiglitql,,to 8 ' death, „arid begging fOr theft lives, evert' ford:!, to discover where they feud secreted •ht.ll. , vailikihles ; death and destrutrion had at lenAtli peo .;.trare , l. into every. habitation ; the blaod of the must viytuons bus bands and, lathers, of the. hest ,nether., of grey haired ancients, of tender War ts, stained the walls of their peaceful habitations,' and streitnied out of the houses along the streets. Four-and ' twenty inhabitants of this little towo, which had already suffered by the barbarians, Were cruelly murdered without any reason' given •for such -proceeding.
