MOST important revolution is
A aftaing here, which may well
be compared tothat which has lately
taken place in North America. Our
ten provinces have declared them
selves INDEPENDENT from the
Emperor, under the title of the ifNi
ted Belgig States, under tire
guarantee (as is thought ofEngiand,
Prussia, and the Old United Nether^
lands.
It is reckoned thatjn this province
alone there are at present 40,000 men

who are the authors of the general

The revolution in the Au^iio ,
Netherlands appears tobe now for

France; and will in all probability,
find that flipport fam neighbouring
powers, which promoters of the re
voludon in France may vainly seek.
By many persons in the political
circles, it is argued that Freach Flan
ders will, with Audrain Flanders and
Brabant, join interests and form a re
public ; and to fach a plan there are
several powers that would give their
countenance, and none more readily
than thofc which form the Triple al

.It now turns out on proof, exactly
as we expeded, that the mighty and
dreadful stories of tumults in Paris—
of the streets running in , blood —of
dooo being Slaughtered—of the king
and queen being beset, ffc. &c. are
mere fabrications. Yesterday the
mail* arrived —and our letters came
down on Monday last ; we have also
the Journals and newspapers of Paris,
and tor that time not tire finalleft tu

for the plain sincerity of a Briton to
'accent for the sinister motives that
can thus induce men, time after
time, to frame and propagate these
atrocious fables. They can impose
on the most credulous natures but for
a day or two, and what benefit or tri.
umph they can deriverfrom such filly
machinations, we are utterly unable
to divine.
