With Anecdotes of English Performers in the United States from the Year 1752 to the Present Time. By WILLIAM DUNLAP, Esq., Author of "Memoirs of George Frederick Cooke." In order to complete the corps darmee, a guard marched yesterday and the day before round and through every part of our towns, with drums beating and a sort of military herald with them, who, at almost every hun dred yards, read a proclamation, ordering every soldier on furlough, whatever his leave of absence may have been, to join his regiment without a moment's delay. Those who are sick, must, if they can move, go into the military hos pitals. Disobedience to this order brings the punishment of desertion. Thus you perceive that all the overt events going on here indicate war. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1832. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. (Late Colburn and Bentley.) (No. 12,546.)

The Calypso is the first French frigate which has been at Sheerness since the reign of King Charles the Second. BELGIUM AND HOLL AND. Antwerp. The following order of the day is worthy at tention : (From the Morning Herald Correspondent.) " ORDER OF THE DAY. " HEAD-QUARTERS, ANTWERP, NOV. 20. MERXEM, FRIDAY, NOV. 23. HEAD-QUARTERS OF MARSHAL GERARD. " The Marshal Commandant-in-Chief has been satisfied with the manner in which the troops have marched, and the order which has been so observable in the columns. The cheerfulness and the spirit of the soldier in bearing up against fatigue are only what would be expected from him during the labours of the trenches and the dangers of a siege. The good disposition of the inhabitants in receiving us justifies the affection which the French will always maintain for them. The troops ate about to occupy posi tions in which they will meet portions of the Belgian irmy. Whilst there are assigned to the French posts in which they are to relieve the Belgians, we shall take care to live with them in the beet understanding, and will draw more closely the ties between us, though instant torture would he the result. Mutual esteem ought to make us kind and honourable in our dealings with our allies. " The two Governments have simultaneously taken measures to secure the subsistence of the French army, whether with respect to the furnishing of magazines, every time that circumstances will permit, or by protestations on the part of the inhabitants, who ought to be organised with the greatest care. The mode of organization and the deliverance of the bond or receipt has been determined by special regulations of the Intendant of the Army; the Sub- Intendants are specially charged with seeing that the in structions should be punctually followed ; they should ex plain them to the inhabitants and the troops; they should interfere every where, either by themselves or their agents, to prevent disorder and complaints. " The Marshal Commandant-in-Chief commands, in preference to every body else, not only the military admi nistration, whose zeal he so much appreciates, but also the Generals and Chiefs of the corps, and all the officers of the regiments, who are, in the name of the soldiers whom they command, the most interested in the well-being and credit of the army. A more solemn act on the part of the King confirms their import. I allude to a proclamation just issued I y him, directing prayers to be offered up in all places of wor ship, of every denomination, for the benediction of Heaven in the arms of this nation in the contest wherein it may he presently involved. It is difficult to suppose that his Ma jesty would palter with Heaven in a double sense, and thus bring his people to the altar to pledge them, as it mete, to a trial by battle, which he has not every reason to think will take place. And yet there is an ambiguity in the wording of the proclamation which lets in a doubt that, after all, the Divine interposition in the work of wholesale manslaughter will be necessary. It directs that "on Sunday, the Qd of December, the ministers of ,ach religion shall appoint religious ceremonies conformable to their respective rites and usages of such a nature as may awake in an especial manner in their congregations pious, and patriotic senti ments in harmony with existing circumstances, and that they shall in humble prayer commit to God the interests of their dear country, and implore his Divine blessings on the contest to which they may be compelled to resort in jils tice and self-defence." You may here remade that in these latter words the case of necessity is put hypotheti again that these prayers and ceremonies are not to take place till the 2d of December, in reference to a contest which, after that date, may occur. This, there fore, is not very compatible with the notion of hostilities commencing before the 2d of December, if they commence at all. At the same time we hear that Marshal Gerard has already once or twice summoned General Chasse to surrender the citadel of Antwerp, and that to-day the final demand shall have been made of him. I remarked in my last letter that all the latitude which the formalities which war permits would be probably given by the belli gerent mediators to his Dutch Majesty on the occasion. The anticipation is assuredly now justified, and I should think it a pretty safe conclusion that, if the first shots of the siege of Antwerp are not fired before the 2d of De cember, they will not be fired at all, notwithstanding all the preparations here, and notwithstanding the appeal to Heaven. The historian of these events will have to re. mark in them one of those strange discrepancies which so often appear in the transactions of mankind. The Belgians quarrel with their King because they consider that he outrages their religion, and that King invokes the blessing of God upon his arms in the contest which there upon ensues. In ancient times this might have created a schism in the skies, and each party might confidently have the battle.cry of Dieu et mon droll," but at present neither Dutchman, nor Brabanter believes in a divisurn imperium cum Jove. .

Two companies of the 79th Highlanders had arrived from York, Upper Canada, at Montreal, to reinforce the garrison. The 15th regiment, which had been encamped on the island of Saint fielens, during the prevalence of the cholera, which was very fatal at Montreal, resumed their quarters at Montreal in the first week of October. Colonel By, Royal Engineers, and family, were to leave Quebec at the end of October, in the bark Brothers, taken up by Government for the conveyance of troops to England. Lieut.

The Renard packet had arrived at Halifax with the mail, and had sailed from Bermuda. The Fly arrived at Jamaica, from Chagres, on the 11th of October, and the Gannett, on the same day, from Santa Martha. The Mutine packet had arrived at Jamaica, and had proceeded to Mexico. The Ariadr.e had sailed from Jamaica, for the Havannah, on the 15th of September, and the Nimble schooner had sailed on a cruise. " The headquarters of the Marshal will be established at Menem. The attempt to assassinate Louis Philip had a sensible effect on the army, and gave rise to a great deal of enthu siasm in favour of the Roi-citoyen. Marshal Gerard seised the moment, and a proclamation was published full of loyalty and devotion. " The army has been apprised that Colonel Caradoc has arrived in quality of English Commissary, and that he will follow the army. " ST. CYR NUGUES." Some of our papers, to show the enthusiasm among the Dutch, state that the Baron d'Hoekron, a Nobleman, pos sessing 700,000 francs yearly, is now serving in the Dutch army as a simple brigadier. It is finally arranged, that M. Thorn is to be set at li berty immediately after the liberation of M. Pescatore, the Belgians undertaking to drop all prosecutions com menced against the Tornaco band.

There has been an active correspondence carried on within the last two days between Marshal Gerard, Colonel Buren, Military Governor of Antwerp, General Desprez, and the Minister of War. The Marshal declares that it is impossible to take the citadel from any other point than the esplanade of the city, and that it would be impossible to erect 12 mortars in any other position. Colonel Buzen strenuously objects to the entry of the French troops into Antwerp, and has written to the Minister of War, stating it would be an act of injustice to the Belgian army to per mit the French to avail themselves of their works for the purpose of reducing the citadel ; that he will never con sent to become the commander of a set of engines only; and that, should the Government decide in favour of the Marshal, he would tender his resignation. General Des prez is of the some opinion ; and, if reports are to be be lieved, the King has positively refused the demand of the Marshal. This is a ❑ew dilemma, and it is not unlikely may give rise to several conferences, and much diplomacy. The city is being fortified and barricaded at all points. The inhabitants have for the greater part emigrated, and the shops are empty. There can now no longer be any doubt as to the deter mination of Chasse to defend the citadel, as you will have already seen by the order of the day which he addressed to the troops. It is reported here to-day, but I cannot trace it to any authentic source, that the Government has ordered Colonel Buzen to give up to the French the fort of St. Mar guerite, all the forts belonging to Belgium on the left bank of the Scheldt, and the two batteries erected at the village of Burght. A deputation of the principal merchants and bankers had an audience of his Majesty yesterday. They en. treated his Majesty not to permit hostilities to commence from their side of the town. They stated that they had good substantial reasons for believing that Chasse would not fire on the city unless provoked so to do. lam in formed that the good substantial reasons hinted at by the wealthy citizens of Antwerp are their known attachment to the old dynasty, and that William of Holland is not likely to injure his friends or destroy his party. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. " LOXEBIEURG, NOV. 16. " Monsieur General,—The Military Government of the fortress have, without delay, apprised the High Diet, of the date of the 22d of last month, respecting the arrest made by the Belgian gendarmes of M. Pescatore, a sub ject of the Germanic Confederation. " The Diet has made exact investigations of the facts which have attended this event, in order to do justice. " The Military Government hastens, in its turn, to give on this deplorable event the most certain information, and in respect of which you yourself, General, have been cleared. To complete the state of defence here I may now say that the landstrum is called out. The proclam ration to that effect will, I understand, be issued to.morrow. The force thus called into action embraces all men not already in arms from the age of 16 to 60, and each person in it is to be armed as well as he c-an_•those who cannot afford themselves muskets or fowling pieces must attach them selves to a pike. I have heard here from a credible au thority, that a formal direction, for it can be only a form, has been given to General Chasse to call a Council of War, and have its opinion whether the citadel can he held out against the menaced attack of the French, and, if their resolution should prove to be in the negative, then to evacuate it and have it blown up. This looks not improbable, and the denouement may satisfy the embittered Dutch nation. The Council sits daily—but the French are dilatory. You will hear this week, or have probably before this time beard, of an address from the English merchants in this country to Mr. Wilson and his friends, who got up the late meeting in London, complimenting and thanking those gentlemen for their conduct on that occasion. The address from Rotterdam has already gone over certainly. I am sure it would have been as well if the gentlemen on this side of the water had kept themselves quiet in this matter. It will be difficult for their opinions to win from reflecting men that confidence which is due to disin terestedness—or be received as the guides of Statesmen without very great caution and suspicion. Every man who is enabled, by the present unw.tled state of the con nection between Belgium and Holland, to drive a successful, though it can be but a temporary, trade, with the latter country, is indignant with the conduct of a British States man whose measures, however well directed they may he to evince the eventual and lasting interests of this country, are calculated to interfere with their lucrative speculations. No men are more hurt at the unkind treatment of our excellent old friends the Dutch than certain gentlemen en•. gaged in the free trade, and whose shipments from the quasi port of Dunkirk (Ostend never appearing in their bills), have been as great a windfall as has ever come to honest men since the sacking of Porto Rico by the Buc caneers. I do not mean to insinuate that there are not even many most respectable names to these documents, at. there were also respectable individuals in your London meeting; but, even with the best of these gentlemen, a heavy speculation is a more shrewd monitor in the haute politique of the counting-house than of the Cabinet, and I should receive their opinions accordingly. " They would, perhaps, have been equally worthy to guide the public opinion of England in this matter of po litics, if they bad shown a little more of the accountant and less of the declaimer in their resolutions and manifestoes. They might have their pen in their hands and have made it clear in good figures how much more profitable it would prove to England (alter the pacification between Belgium and Holland, and that reconciliation between them which M. Van Alphar, almost the first man in the States-Gene ral here, so warmly recommended, have taken place) to have the trade which Holland, our disinterested friend, will then award us through pure good nature, or that which her interest will urge her to grant us over the al. most open Scheldt into the bargain. To sacrifice the fu ture interests of England to the chance of extraordinary profits of one year is genuine penny-wise and pound-fool ish policy, against which, some years hence, not one small class, but the whole body of English merchants and states. men, would loudly, but perhaps in vain, protest. (From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.) PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 24.—The Neptune, 120, lately launched at this port, will be undocked during the week, and will be succeeded by the Edinburgh, preparatory to being commissioned. His Majesty's, ship Childers, 18, Corn. R. Deans (re cently arrived from Oporto), was paid wages on Wednes day, and sailed on Friday, to join Vice Admiral Sir P. Malcolm's squadron in the North Sea.

His Majesty's cutter Sylvia, Lieut. Spark, arrived and came into harbour from Jersey on Friday, and is refitting, preparatory to a short cruise. The Messenger, steam transport, which came in on Saturday from Plymouth and Cowes, proceeded for Wool wich on Monday. The Harmony, Dutch brig, from Batavia to Amster dam, detained on the 16th inst. off the Goodwin Sands, by his Majesty's ship Stag. was brought into this part on Sunday last. His Majesty's ship Conway, 28, Captain H. Eden, sailed on Wednesday, and returned early the following day with the Dutch merchant brig Reigerslaad, from New York to Rotterdam, which she fell in with at the back of the Wight. She sailed immediately afterwards to cruise off Ostend. Published by EDWARD BULL, 26, Holles-street, Cavendish-square. I.

The discussion on the address still continues, and is not likely to close before Monday next. It is hazardous to state positively whether Ministers will or will not have a majority, but this much is certain, a majority would be very small indeed. The Opposition feel certain of victory, and that the Minister must resig❑ before another week is gone by. The speeches of the different members of the Chamber of Representatives are sufficient replies to any ill-natured or slanderous remarks that may be made to my political feelings or impartial communications. I have just returned to Brussels from Antwerp, and I am told that a correspondent of a London Morning Paper from this place has been making some allusions to me. I have not read that paper yet, and must, therefore, postpone all remarks until next post. I cannot but rejoice that the sting bites at last, and that the mystifiers and thick and thin supporters of Lord Palmerston dread the expose I am enabled to make from authentic sources. The William Harris, transport, Lieutenant Stevens, Agent, was ready to proceed from Deptford the early part of last week, and was reported to have left Deptford on Wednesday for Sierra Leone. The Prince Regent, transport, Lieutenant Binstead, Agent, will leave the River about Wednesday next. Sh e will call at Dover for a detachment of Royal Sippers and Miners for Malta, and also at this port for the detachments of the 7th and 94th Regiments. The Hope, transport, Lieut. Ryder, Agent, has pro ceeded from Plymouth for Guernsey and Jersey, to convey to this port sundry detachments, about to proceed to Malta, in the Prince Regent. The Orestes, transport, Lieut Garrett, Agent, after having received on board provisions, from the Royal Cla rence Victualling Yard, for the establishment at Deptford, will pi oceed thither. " He expresses to you the new assurance of his consi deration. (Signed) " LOUIS, Land g rave of Hesse." On the receipt of these two despatches, General Tabor sent a courier with a very pressing letter to the Minister of 'War. Seized on the 17th instant, at 4 a.m., on the Hemstan ton station, coast of Norfolk, by the vigilance of Lieut. John Hains, R.N., and the crew of the coast guard in the district of Captain 111'Hardy, a lug-sail boat, with a cargo of contraband goods, containing 625 gallons of brandy and 5,5651b5. of tobacco. The Comus, 18, Corn. Hamilton, was taken alongside the Sheer Hulk yesterday, to receive her mastQ. She is now proceeding with despatch. The Savage, 10, Lieut. Loney, will be ready for sea in the course of a few days, her complement of men being nearly complete. MREDA, NOV. 23. The report in the Belgian newspapers, of the French having advanced into Capella, on the road to Bergen-op- Zoom, and into Brescaet, on that to this fortress, has been confirmed by the information received here from our ad vanced posts. It appears that they are busy in raising intrencbments on each of these roads, in order to hinder the advancing of our troops for the succour of the citadel of Antwerp. The ordinary steamer from Dordrecht to the citadel started the day before yesterday, having on board a num ber of men of the garrison that bad been absent on furlough. l ov/ the the to From the superior sailing qualities of the Fair Rosamond, (lately a companion of the famed Black Joke, on the coast of Africa), it is at length decided to repair her. PROMOTIONS, APPOINTMENTS, &e.—Lieutenant A. Kortright, late Assistant Surveyor of his Majesty's ship !Etna, is appointed to the Coast Guard Service.—Messrs. J..L. Cooper and J. Willcox, Midshipmen, are appointed, the former to his Majesty's ship Childers, and the latter to his Majesty's cutter Sylvia.—The Rev. P. Panter, Chaplain, R. N., is appointed to the Rectory of Thorney, Northumberland, in the gift of the Admiralty, vice Rev. E. Brice, resigned.—Captain J. J. Wilde, of the Wool wich Division of Royal Marines, is placed on the reserved half-pay, and Captain C. C. Pratt, of the same corps, from the unattached half-pay, is appointed to the Wool wich Division, vice Wilde.—Lieutenant F. Baldock is appointed to command his Majesty's steam vessel Firefly. —Mr. J. Yule is appointed Master of his Majesty's ship Snake. We hear that in the event of Admiral Sir Thomas Williams succeeding to the command at this port, Mr. Thomas Williams, the present Purser of the Spartiate, or Mr. Thomas Triphuok, late Secretary to Sir Charles Paget, at Cork, will be the Secretary to the new Commander in-Chief. The Genoa, 78, is ordered to be immediately brought forward, and fitted as a receiving ship. The Ranger, 28, and Vigilant cutter, lying at this port, are advertised to be sold on the 28th inst. We are rather surprised at seeing the name of the former, as she is only twelve years old, and much larger scantling than ships of that class usually are. She might be brought forward for service at an inconsiderable expense, and would answer full as well, on some stations, as the overgrown ones of the day. AMSTERDAM, NOV. 23. (From the Dutch Papers.) THE HAGUE, NOV. . PROCLAMATION OF THE KING. We, William, by the Grace of God, King of the Ne therlands, Prince of Orange Nassau, Grand Duke of Luxemburg, &c. &c. The Cressy, 50, has been taken into the North dock to be broken up. Moorings are being prepared in this harbour to secure the detained Dutch merchant ships. Twelve convicts, which lately arrived at this port from Bermuda, by the Orestes, transport, have been discharged during the week, their terms having expired. The Talavera had her eutwater carried away, and wag otherwise much damaged, by her recent accident in run ning foul of the Calypso. The latter was also stove in, in her side. Ramaining in Hamoaie—San Josef, Comus, Savage, Pike, Speedy, Hope transport. THE BUCCANEER.—The scenes of this forth coming story is, we understand, laid in the Isle of Sheppy —a district little known, and but rarely visited, yet pos sessing many essential requisites for the writer of romance. The period chosen by the Novelist is that of the Protec torate, and the character of the great master-spirit of the age is said to be exhibited with a reality seldom equalled in the pages of fiction. The man who either personally, or by his spies, knew with accuracy every occurrence in the remotest parts of his Commonwealth—who could crush his foes without the warning of a sound or sign—certainly cannot be viewed without deep interest. It is nut surprising, therefore, that he should enact a prominent part in the above tale. 'g - v c ns° THE PATENT HOLLANDS. IN consequence of the interruption of British intercourse with the Dutch Provinces, this exquisite I Pirit is rapidly increasing in demand ; and to prevent I ! , sippointment it is proper to announce that small dealers 4 44 copeorners are not supplied direct from the distillery, but referred tp the principal Wholesale Establishments in Pis Metropolis ; accordingly H.

Roepel, in the room of the Onyx. On Tuesday last, Admiral Sir John Beresford enter tained a large and distinguished party at Sheerness, at which most of the officers of the French frigate Calypso were present. A French play was admirably performed by the female members of the Admiral's family, after which dancing commenced and was kept up to a late hour. The supper was on the most liberal scale, and consisted of every delicacy. The company separated highly gratified at the urbanity and hospic ility of their gallant host. Sir James Gordon paid an official visit to Sheerness Dock-yard on Tuesday, and returned to Chatham on the following day. A reduction of four clerks and three sub-measurers is about to take place at Sheerness Dock-yard, at the close of the year, Sever al supernumeraries have been forwarded from the Ocean, fi tg ship at Sheerness, to the Scheldt fleet. His Majesty's ship Rover, 18, Commander Sir George Young, Bart., arrived at Sheerness on Sunday with a Dutch East Indiamau (127 days from India) which she bad detained off the Texel. The Indianian proceeded to Chatham, and the Rover returned on Monday to her for mer station. A Dutch galliot, detained by a French vessel, arrived at Sheerness on Sunday, and proceeded to Chatham im mediately. Mr. Capper, Superintendent of Convicts, visited the convict ships at Sheerness on Sunday last. The Carron, steam•vessel, has had a trial of her new paddles at the Nore, and we undent3nd they have been found to answer admirably. She proceeded from Sheer ness on Monday to embark troops at Chatham for the INQUEST BY MR.CAINES.—At Huntworth, in the parish of Moorland, on Ilicii•nn YEANDLE, a small farmer, aged 50.—Deceased, on Friday night last, was found by his wile in a privy near his dwelling house, hanging by the neck, quite dead. Assistance and a light were instantly procured, and it was found that de ceased had destroyed himself by fixing the rope round a rafter. It is most painful to relate that the conduct of the deceased has been atrociously bad. He was the father of five children, by one of whom he has had two children ! I For the last three years be has been in a low desponding state of mind, and continued so up to the hour of com mitting suicide. The Jury consisting of fifteen persons, unanimously returned a verdict of Lunacy.—Bath Herald. THE LAST DAYS OF GARRICK...--" I called at his door," says Dr. BURNEY, " with anxious inquiries, two days before he expired, and was admitted to his cham ber ; but though I saw him, he did not seem to see me— or any earthly thing ! His countenance, that had never remained a moment the same in con versa ti on , no w appeared as fixed and as inanimate as a block of marble; and he bad already so far relinquished the world, as I was afterwards told by Mr. WALLACE, his executor, that nothing that was said or done that used to interest him the most keenly had any effect upon his muscles, or could extort either a word or a look from him for several days previously to his becoming a corpse." The Opposition very justly object to the evacuation of Venloo, Limburg, and Luxemburg, until the King of Hol land has consented to a treaty of peace. They are perfectly in the right—they appreciate the friendship of Louis Philip, and his magnanimous offer of storming the citadel of Antwerp, and then ordering his troops borne again. Does the taking of the citadel advance the question? Are we nearer a treaty of peace? Or is William of Holland more likely to be brought to terms than now ? It does not re quire a moment's reflection to answer these questions : the treaty between England and France is limited to the taking of the citadel : that once in the hands of Belgium, the con tract ceases. What is then the position of affairs? Exactly the same as they were 18 months ago, excepting that the citadel is evacuated. The Belgian Ministers are liberated from their pledge to the Chambers, and can negotiate afresh, make sacrifices afresh, and submit to any terms sanctioned by France for the purpose of preserving the peace of Europe. It is then that the resolve of Russia must be taken into consideration. It is then that the resolve of Russia and Prussia, as conservators of the German Diet, must be taken into consideration. It is then, and not till then, that Belgium will find out that she has been sacri ficed to France. The Minister by this act in calling on the French, has consented to evacuate Venloo, Limburg, and Luxemburg, the instant the Dutch quit the citadel. That they have so acted cannot now be a matter of doubt. M. Gendebien held up to them in the Chamber this day a copy of this despatch, and justly termed it a political cir cular. M. de Meulenaere, the ex-Minister for Foreign Affairs, a supporter of the present Ministry, trusted they had taken some guarantee previously to consenting to give op the only hold they had on Holland. The Govern ment has now placed the country in a worse position than it was previous to the French invasion. For, supposing the citadel to be stormed, it will be at the expense of Venloo, Limburg, and Luxemburg, now they will have to nego tiate a treaty on much more disadvantageous terms than they could with the citadel in the hands of the Dutch. The citadel is of no importance to Holland either for pro tecting the Scheldt or any particular territorial rights. It is a question of honour, and honour only—and the citadel tak en after a noble resistance, William will have preserved his character, and added fresh laurels to his cause. It is folly to suppose that the Belgian flag will sail with less re striction on the Scheldt because the citadel is rased. You must first rase Lino, Bath, Flushing, and several other Dutch fortifications, before you arrive at the desirable end. The opposition are therefore right in resisting the surrender of eith er o f t h e p l aces I have men ti on ed above until a treaty of some sort or other has been signed by Holland. The French are in Belgium—,come 60 or 70,000 Frenchm en h ave possession of all the strong points of the country—the dissatisfaction of the people is now of little avail—the popularity or unpopularity of Leopold is a mat ter of no importance. When will the French recroas the frontiers is the only question worthy of consideration. The Belgians are fir from being tranquil observers of this enor mous army spreading itself all over the country—and it is more than whispered that a restoration is contemplated, not with Holland, but France. Let Lord Palmerston watoh narrowly the French movements—let him not be deceived by false statements—let him take warning in time—the object of Louis Philip is not the storming of the citadel of We are still in a state of suspense. From camp to camp we hear the dreadful note of preparation, but as yet, war has not, " trebly tbund'ring, swelled the gale." Amid all the ominous events that are going on round us there is, however, a silent but strong feeling amongst reflecting people here that the signal for the shedding of human blood will not be given —a feeling that, when the moment for appealing to the ultinia ratio seems to have assuredly arrived, its arbitration will be declined, and mutual concessions bring the parties at issue to a peaceful agreement. There is one circum stance which alone creates an apprehension that the hope thus quietly engendered must prove abor tive, and that is the overacted zeal of the Dutch Go vernment to maintain what it has specified to be its rights by the most determined measures. The Cabinet here has proclaimed to the people that its very existence is at stake—has summoned all true Hollanders, by appeals to their most sacred sympathies, to take up arms in its de fence. The appeal has been deeply felt and faithfully answered. All Holland is now embattled—her peasant and her citizen, as well as her noble and her mercenary. To Antwerp the eyes and thoughts of all have been turned, as the spot in which not merely a garrison of their countrymen and a dauntless old commander are be. leaguered, but in which their national interests are all citadeled. How then consent to its surrender, accom panied with a concession of those demands for the suc cessful resistance to which it has been considered the best guarantee? It has been said that to evacuate the citadel would break old Chasse's heart ; it would most certainly be felt as the must mortifying of events by this entire kingdom, and the dissatisfaction caused by it might he brought home to the King, who is now so popular, but who might in such a case be reminded that the de Witts had been equally so, but to a sad end. One who has not been here cannot readily conceive how the Dutch people have been stimulated in this business, and in what a state of exaltation they are. Every occurrence around them indicates war, and prepares them for it. Last week General Chasse having assembled his gar rison, which now consists of about 6,00 Q men, told them that, if there were any amongst them who were not pre pared to share with him the dangers of defending the place to the last, they might depart. Thirty-five men accepted the offer, and left the citadel next day. They were, probably, married men with families, and but ill reconciled to the thoughts of being blown up into the air after having done their duty as good soldiers, The num ber, it must be confessed, was very small. They have nearly had reason to repent of their prudence, for they have been received by their countrymen with rather more harshness than a Grecian who returned from battle with out his shield might have been by his mia her. At the garrisons to which they first arrived they were compared " Last year, when the interests of our dear country in the critical circumstances in which it was placed, obliged us to support by arms the negotiations relative to the conditions of the separation between Holland and Belgium, we were at the same time deeply impressed with the duty of not having recourse to them till we bad invoked the Almighty, solemnly prostrating ourselves together with our faithful p eo pl e b e f ore hi s Th rone, on our appointed day, to i m pl ore on our arms t h e b less i ng of Divine Pi ovi deuce, whi c h, i n t h e seque l, gave us suc h just cause hum. bly to return thanks. " After our victorious legions were recalled to their own country, in order to preserve the general peace, we con .tantly indulged the hope that uninterrupted negotiations would, at length, terminate in an equitable treaty. " For this purpose we have not hesitated to offer the sa crifice of our personal rights and of the private interest of our family. The constantly i ncreas i ng pretens i ons of the Belgian authorities and their patrons, have brought us to the utmost limits of concession compatible with the dig nity and evident interest of the country. " The desired end has not, however, been thereby at tained. Two of the Powers, who came forward as me. diators, have replied to our last proposals by a summons to deliver up the fortres es,which courage and perseverance have hitherto preserved to Holland as securities for an equi table arrangement, and our remonstrances against the in justice of such a demand have been follow e d b y measures of aggre ss i on aga i ns t our navigation, an I by the entrance of a French army into Belgium, to support, by violence, those iniquitous demands. 6' In these circumstances we have no alternative left but to defend the safety, the right, and the independence of Holland, by all the means which Providence has placed in our hands, and which are seconded by the patriotism, union, and firmness of a people, which has been for ages respected by the most powerful States. " Far, however, from relying on our own strength, we are humbly sensible of our dependence on the Supreme So vereign of the world, whose mighty aim has so often de livered us and our ancestors from the greatest perils. " Desiring, therefore, in union wit., our faithful people, solemnly to approach the throne of the Lord of Host, our God, and the God of cur Fathers ) anti t , its aid) ea s 1. v'
