" It was, we arc told, by the Enfperour's
express orders communicated to the Prince
of Cobourg, by Count Metternigh, that the
combined armies were to evacuate the Netti
erlands, as soon as Ypres and Charleroi were
taken by the enemy. Every body fays, and
there are strong grounds for believing, that
it was a thing agreed upon between the Em
perour and the French Committee of Public
Safety. Count Metternich does not seem to
deny that it was; but how can fact an ar
rangement be reconciled with the bloody bat
•tle of Sunday last ft/,
▼' It is rumoured that the Erqperour, dis
gusted by the conduct of some of the Allies,
arid provoked by the obstinacy of the States
of Brabant and Flanders, offered to the
French Republicans 0e evacuation of the
Austrian Netherlands as the price o£a Sepa
rate peace, which they accepted,"

tytfraafo, that the States General pad
held an extraordinary fitting two days ; the
avowed object of their deliberations was to
enter into a treaty of PEACEwth FR ANC'E,
which, if impeded by England, would be
negociated -separately.
Letters from Cologne ftate,'that accounts
had been received there, that Namur had
been evacuated by the Austrians on the Bth.
and that the French had entered that town
on the 9th inst. The head quarters of the
Austrians was transferred on that day to
