*REVOLUTION IN BRUSSELS.

FLANDERS.
(From the Gazette des Pays Bus of Thursday.)

A journal says, that " the preparations for the
illumination of the Park on the anniversary of his
Alajesty*s birth-day, have excited profound discon-
tent timong the people."
We confess we do not understand what this
journal means, and beg that it will explain itself
dearly. lithe mewling of these lines is suelt as it
appears to be, we can see in them and every body
w►ll see as we do, only a shameful falsehood, and a
gross insult to the population of the city of Brussela.
We see clearly indeed that attempts are making
to agitate the lower classes of this population, but
' certainly they will not bileterd. it is nut ;tithe midst
of a city which is almost entirely renewed by num.,-
rolls and beautiful buildings which employ so many
hands, end give-occasion for so many diabursernetin.

the grass formerly grew in the 'streets, and where
multitude of houses were untenanted, whereas
now, all houses have greatly increased in value, and
splendid magasines have sprung Op on every side;
it is not in a city formerly without committee and
• without manufactures, and now animated by so
many establishments, both public and private, ar
the gates of which two canals and a vett basin are
now on the point of being completed,—it is not,
we repeat, in a city which has become a Royal resi-
dence, which has become in a few years one of the
most agreeable and remarkable cities of Europe, titter
some men, without mission, without consistency, will
• succeed in exehieg discontent. Their bad Mien-.
tions anti their unhappy attempts will always be
• baled by the good spirit of this numerous popula-
tion, which is not ungrateful, bud by the good which
- it enjoys, thanks to this political existrnee, which is
so much calumniated:

Most wimp; events are this moment taking place
at Brussels. We shall' simply confine ourstlves to
the office of repooeta.
It is pretty generally known how much the Bel-
, glans, of all classes, and it; all the provinces, are. die-
satisfied. Our Deputies in the Chambers, end the
independent Journals, have frequently adverted to
thiefact.
The day before yesterday the public read with
surprise and chagrin , an article in the Gazelle des
Pays /foe (the official Government Paper), which
!poke with,emphasicof the happiness which all the
Belgians enjoyed, and of the intoxication and rejoic•

easiness respecting the disposition of the public. mind.
Yesterday evening the per formaoce of La Maehe

crowd hail eves; stationed itself on the equate of the

. formed themselver, and proceeded towards the
office of Le Nahanni, Rue Foot} aux Loops. In
a moment the window* were smashed, and it was
attempted to burst open the door. A voice exclaimed,
" Let use go to Lila), I" At these words the
crowd retraced its steps, and went to the residence
of Libry Barium, to ie Polymathie Library, Rue
slit La. Madeleine, neer the great couch-office. The:
multitude increased every moment. The windows
were broken ; the doors were burst in ; ell the fur-
niture wits demolished, the papers and books were
torn, and thrown Out of the window in tatters. By
a fortunate .aceitlenti Libry Bageano, the principal
Editor of the National, was not found at home, by
which his life was sever,.
The crowd choked up already the broad street
: Lit Madeleine. It was eleven o'clock at night,
during this first effervescence the • police, wisely lib.
stained from acting its intervention would only have
proved pernicious. '1 he gendarmes were told—;-
"'Don't act„, and you will be let alone."
'Towards midnight the crowd dispersed. One
poop went to the Place 'loyal, preceded by it
flag Composed of the ,currides of Libry Begtieno.

than the stoutest resortenee would have done.
Another group went by the Niue de l'Emperem
•to the street Rupbreek, stopped before the Nino
of.Justice,and in a moment broke all the windows of
the Hull of the .Court of A.'ize, with the cries of
" Down with Van Mermen l Long live do Fetter!"
Shortly after the General who commends the town
proceeded to the Hotel de Ville, and the Horse
Gendturnes commenced to patrol about iii detach-
ments. • Amore numerous crowd proceeded to the
nee de Berlaimont, to the house of It 9, de Kuyff,
Ithe'Dirretor of the Police. It was forcibly entered,

residence, the exasperation se,emed to have readled
its highest pitch.
The doors, being burst in, shortly actetwir&

gave free admittance to the multitude, who poured
in with cries of" Down with Van Maanen !" Fur-
niture and effects of every description were de.
moliihed. The troops wished to restore order, but
they were too feeble. They were attacked, diii.
timed, and obliged to retreat. After this first ex-
plo*ion, the multitude seemed to concert measures,

and set lire to the building. The smoke appeared
rapidly ; the 'crowd rushed out, and ranged itself
round the Hotel, and declared that it would not re-
tire before the building was burnt down to its very
foundation. The conflagration made great progress.
The flames were perceptible from afar—the firemen
hastened to the spot, with their engines, towards
four o'clock, but they were repulsed, and fenced to
return to the Hotel tie Ville. This va-t edifice
being set on fire served thus, as a point of assem-
blage...l4 great number of workmen ran to the spot
without pillaging, but likewise without retiring.
During; the night the gunsmiths had been com-
pelled to deliver up the. arms contained in their
stores, The people distributed them; such as had
any guns at home went out with them, and some
muskets were taken from the soldiers, or abandoned
by them, that they might not have to fire. Work-
men were seen to surround an officer near the Palace
of Justice, putting u pistol to his breast, and asking
him, on his word of honour, that ho should not
order the people to be fired upon.
Towards five o'clock in the morning, and Ml,rt

the broad light of day illuminated the movemen.s,
the armed force displsyed it-elf more. A battaliol.
of chamseurs and it battalion of grenadiers spread
themselves in companies through the streets where
the agitation Was greatest. It was in the Place du
Sudo') where, about six o'clock in the morning, an
officer ordered a platoon tire, reid where the struggle
became bloody. Presently the wounded were seen
being 'carried home; men- among the people were
seen to fall down dead, being struck by the balls of
the soldiery ; and gore stained the pavement.

This armed force traversed the streets, firing
Multiplied volleys; it fired sometimes into the air,
and sometimes on the crowd. This repeated firing
of musketry resounded throughout the whole town,
and spread coesterearion afar. The housee were
shut up, and the windows lined with women and
curious people : the streets were crowded, being
sometimes invaded and ,-ometimes deserted. The
inh,bitants were armed with guns, swords, and
cudgels; they posted themselves at the corners of
the streets, all which gave so extraordinary an up.
peurtmce to Brussels that one might have supposed
it to be a town expecting to be taken by storm.
In the midst of this commotion, it will be felt
that it is impossible fur us to give so detailed a de-
setiption as the public has a right to.expect. Exact-
ness has appeared to us preferable to extent. The
lire of musketry continues uninterrupted to this
mornott, which is ten o'clock in the mining.
The house of M. Schuez►nans, the King's Pro-
curator-General, bits been assailed during the night,
and the windows of it have been broken.

Some workmen- have to►n from the shops of the
Purveyors of the Court the at ns of the Royal Fa-
mily, and many of the tradesmen have spontaneously
taken them away.
This morning two dead corses were lying ex•
'tended neat time Hotel d'Angleterre, and the pave-
ment reddened with blood.

In the street De Louvain the sentries of the mi-
litia were firing from a window about ten o'clock,
when a child, ten years of age, was killed.
We are officially desired to declare that, if the
arms of the " Guides Communaux" were deposited
in a barrack, it was because experience had shown
that they bad not been kept in proper order.
Good citizens have come to an understanding,
and met. It is of importance that public order shall
not be disturbed, that the safety of persons and
property should remain inviolable, and tranquillity

le restored.
The Citizen Guard will be immediately organised.

It is required as a safeguard, for it alone can pre-
vent great misfortunes. It will interfere with efficacy
to. stop: disasters, which would soon become in-
evtable; and to prevent re-actions, if any such
should be attempted.
All your citizens are invited to proceed to the
barracks of the Gardes Communaux. A Council
is permanently sitting there. They will be furnished
with arms, and they will concert measures with the
Chiefs of the Gerdes Communaux.

Amidst the thunder of, the firing all opinions upon
►ese commetieus are Fremature. .

However, they indicate one indisputable fact,
which we must proclaim.
The dircontent of the Belgians is great, real, and
increasing. 7.0 appease it is a duty ; to crave it
would be a most sad miscalculation ; to deny it
would be the act of a fool.
To the people we shall say, " Fulfil still your
duty as citizens with zeal, energy, and loyalty;
know.to defend your rights, but know also that
every offensive, illegal, and disorderly rising is a
timit, a folly, and a crime. Conquer youir liberty hy
order."

May Government open its eyes ! It is no longer
the time to dwell on illusions respecting the &spa-
s tion of the public mind,end the voice of the 13e1s
ieiis ought entl must be heard. It would be so
easy to the Executive to cause itself to be beloved

,urd respected. It would only require a change or
Pi poem, and the discarding a few men, to gain over
all hearts! May general wi,ll be attended to,
and be done both without delay and without after.
thought I Peace would then be restored, liberty
would unite all prides, and by liberty the national
tulependence would be strengthened. Is it pos-
ible Ibtl! there cart be any hesitation„.any refusal ?

(From'a Correspondent Of the Morning Herald.)
On Thursday morning about ten o'clock, in the
Petit &Won, a party of men who were cutting down
some trees, for the purpose of forming rt barricade
Am** the street lending into the Grand Sablon,
were tired upon by a party of the Dutch militia, eoe
two of the people were badly wounded. About the
qune time a regiment of light infantry drawn up in
the Grand Sable!! were surreonded by a great mob ;
and 1 saw several of the officers shake hands with
various individuals among the crowd, and heard them
pledge their word not to order their troops to fire
urn the people.--" Les soldnts Beiges les (rater-
nizent le people."
The furniture, and all other movables, in the hotel

the Commandant has been burned before'
lour;—every thing horned--nothing taken away.
About noon yesterday tranquillity was partially: re-
4tored, and all the troops mustered hi front of the
Palace of the King, when, after, some parley, be
viced to leave the town to the National Guard,
store anti 5,000 of whom have been armed and
organised; and the people generally have become
much more calm in consequence.
The house of M. Kuyfl, Chef de Police, has been
;hutted, arid the entire contents burnt and destroyed
in the public strects, lie himself escaped, and is
gone off to Antwerp, having given a stuble.keeper
600 francs to convey him thither. About five o'clock
the same afternoon I saw his private carriage burned
by the populace in the street opposite the Hotel de
Ville; they brought it from his house in the Rue de
Bielamont for that purpose.

Many parties of the National Guard are parading
the streets with flags, inscribed " Sitretti Liberal,"
" Simet6 Pub Btc.
The National Guard has full possession of ell the
gates anti military posts in the town, without any
exception whatever, and also of the palaces of the
Prince of Orange, &c.
At half past ten at night I brought my luggage to
the coach-office, with a guard of four men. In pass•
tug near the Park more than a hundred shots were
suddenly fired—l. could not learn by whom, or at
what ; but I suppose they were fired by persons eon•
tested in the Perk at the soldiers stationed before
the King's palace.
I left the same night, and during my short stay at
0146;41 learned from the best authority, that all
the troops, beiginos at well as Dutch, had retired
tat side the town, or to the'r barracks, and bed left

the protection of the town and palaces to the Nn•
tional Guard.

Several manufactories have been burned, or other-
wise damaged, in the neighbourhood—calico-print
works burned, and the machinery in others dt!stroyed.
It is said there will be 10,000 troops fi otn Holland
at the gates of Brussels on Friday, and that in a
conflict with the people from forty to fifty men had
been killed or wounded ;—amongst the killed are
two of the new Royal Guard.
One day, last Saturday or Sunday, number of
placards were posted on the trees near the park, as
follows :

" Aujnurilhui feu d'artifice !
Demain Illumination !!
Aprev tlemain Revolution! !!"

M. de Potter is at Paris, and from thence ho wrote
a letter of advice to the King, which letter was
printed in the Courrier des Pays Bat of Sunday the
22d instant. M. de Potter has also written a letter
to the people exciting them to strong measures—at
least so it is said. The letter, it is also said, was.
printed in Paris, and dropped about the streets of
Brussels secretly; but of all this I have no personal
knowledge, not having seen one of them.
When I left Brussels the tri-eolouro flag was
flying on the Hotel de Ville. It had been fixed there
by the populace early in the morning.

(From a Correspondent of the Times.)

" BRUSSELS, AUG. 26.
" This would appear to be the commencement of
an era of revolutions. I left Paris on Tuesday
evening, believing that I had seen the happy termi-
nation of mat, and, behold, I have Olen into the
beginning of another. On arriving at Halle, about
three leagues south of • Brussels, this morning, we
heard that the people had risen last night into re-
volt, had proceeded in greet (wee to the house of
NI. Livry Bagnano, the conductor of an obnoxitm*
Government Journal; had broken his windows Ad'

doors, had entered awl demolished his furniture,
and bad either burnt his books and papers, or
thrown them into the wreets. The rioters had
first shown symptoms of disorder and violence
at the theatre, where an obnoxious piece was
played; but it was evident that their tumult
was not a theatrical affair. From the beginning it
had politics for its object, and a change in the Go-
vermnent for its end. The cries which were heard
from its leaders showed plainly the cause of
the movement. The cries were--' Down with the
Dutch Government'—' Death to the Dutch Mi-
nisiry'---4 Viva la Pattie,' Viva. la Revolution
.Prancaise—' Viva Napoleon ll.' ro the music
of these shouts the populace proceeded to disarm
the battalion of Pompiers, who willingly gave up
their muskets, offering even their uniform, if 'their
conquerors chose. They attacked likewise the dif-
ferent corps du garde of the regular troops, and
mastered them. At day-break the troops of the
line in garrison endeavoured to disperse the groups
which had now got arms, and, in addition to the
damage which they had done during the night, had
set fire to the house of the Minister of Justice, Van
Maatien, in the Petit &Won, had entered and de-
molished the hotel of the Governor of the capital,
and had attacked the residence of the commandant
of the garrison, in the square called Le Grend So-
Won. The troops of the line, in endeavouring to
disperse the mob, had killed nine persons, five of
whose bodies I have seen.

" When our diligence entered Brussels at six
o'clock this morning, the people were all either in
the streets conversing anxiously in greater or smaller
groups, or standing at their doors asking news, or
leaning out of their windows, surveying the multi-
tudes who flitted below them, and who were per-
petually bringing them tidings of the wider spread
of the insurrection. It was evident that some great
event agitated the mass, and that they were uncertain
what part they would take in the drama which had
opened. They had continued in this state of vigilant
alarm during the night, hearing the firing of miss.
ketry, and the cries of the mob at a distance. Our
conductor was warned not to proceed through the
market place, his usual route, where he was told
there was fighting, but to take a turn round the
town, to avoid the danger to which a more direct
passage would have exposed us.
"About seven o'clock great numbers of the people
were armed, and had compelled the Governor to
give them the keys-of the Hotel de Ville, to obtain
the depot of muskets which had been taken formerly
from the Garde Communule. This► Garde Com-
munsle was at► institution similar in almost every re-
spect to the Garde Nationale of France. Some of

its members had retained their muskets and their
uniform. In this uniform several appeared about six
or seven o'clock, and were hailed as leaders. If I
am well, informed, the Colonel of this civic force
bus promised to lead them. I have conversed with
several of them, who say that they appear on the
present occasion, not to overturn the Government,
but to preserve the city from pillage by the mob,
This, however, cannot be the object of the majo-
rity, who have commended the ilnyal arms to be
pulled down, and who are crying ' A Gas des op-
presseurs:
" The troops, instead of allowing themselves to
be beaten or destroyed in detail, es in Paris, retired
within their barracks, till reinforcements were sent
for. About tee o'clock the whole garrison of
Brussels, consisting of gensdarmes, troops of the
line, and cavalry, drew up in the Place Royale in
front of the palace, and looking to the perk. They
have remained in his position till two o'clock (the
hour at which I now write.) Several detachments
have joined them from the posts in the neighbour.

(seen froth the Hotel de Bellevue) cannot yet ex-
ceed 1,600 men. In the present excited state of
the public mind, u much greater force should have
occupied the capital.
" Detachments of the civic force, with drums
beating and tri-coloused flags flying, have passed by
she assembled troops to take possession of the dif-
ferent posts in the neighbourhootL No resistance
has been offered them, nor has any, parley taken
place between the military and the citizens. The
work of demolition goes on in the city. Four or
five of the houses of the authorities are now in
flames. The furniture of the Minister of Justice
and of the Commandant of the place, being thrown.
out of the windows, is blazing in the squares of the
Petit and Grand Sablon.

" No person of mime or consequence has yet ap-
peared to direct the movements of the revolu-
tionists. The hatred of Dutch sway seems deep
and general among all classes ; hut the actual rioters
are chiefly those•who complain of high taxes and
want of bread.

Expres*es have been sent off to the Hague,
where the King and Ministers now reside Chy the
law which makes Brussels end that town their rod-
dence every alternate year), but no answer has yet
been received.

" When the news reaches Liege,
Ghent, and
Antwerp, similar movements are expected. No
assistance in troops can, therefore, be expected from
those towns. Indeed it seemed mast probable, to
persons acquainted with the state of public opinion
in Belgium, that Liege would be the leader in the
insurrection, as soon as the French had shaken all
the Bourbons.

" The shops have been shut up during the whole
day, or, rather, have not opened. Even the churches.
winch in Roman Catholic countries are always open,
have not received the faithful this forenoon. The
streets are not yet unpaved, but trees have been cut
down to form barricades.

" The thing most dreaded here bysensible people
is the approach of Prussian troops, which would
justify the Belgians in demanding succours from
France, and thus lead to u general war.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 30, 1830.

The spirit of the late revolution in Paris has
extended itself with the rapidity of wild-fire to
Brussels. This is just what might have been
anticipated. No one dreamed for an instant that

the revolution would have been confined to

France. That country merely took the lead,
set the fashion, as it were, in the full and per-
fect conviction that every nation throughout the
continent, which was not in the enjoyment of
constitutional freedom, would speedily follow
the example. The revolution at Brussels is

part and parcel of its predecessor at Paris. It
originates in the same cause, with this dif-
ference, that the King of the NETHERLANDS
is not one-twentieth part so guilty as CHARLES
the Tenth, and that consequently the present
insurrection of his subjects is less deserving of
justification. His enmity towards a Free Press
has been the greatest fault that the King of the
NETHERLANDS has yet committed. And even
this was ra►her a blunder than a crime, which his
MAJESTY Mon perceived, and for which he has-

tcned to make reparation, though. unfortunately
for his own interest, no: to the extent and in the
spirit which might have been expected, and was
indeed called for by his subjects.
We do not think—though perhaps "our wish
is father to that thought"—that it is yet too late
to avert the flital consequences that must ensue
from a general rising of the people. Even now,
at the eleventh hour, a slight change of system may
do much towards reconciling the Belgians to
their Government. But immediate decision is
requisite. The time is past for temporizing or
vacillating policy. The Executive must project
and execute at one and the same moment, or—
they are lost.

As we do not conceive the Belgians to have
such pressing cause for dissatisfaction with their
King as France, so neither are we so earnest in
their behalf. Their present proceedings carry
more the air of a partial insurrection, than of a
general constitutional scheme for asserting their
rights and privileges. There seems to he no
organization, no defined plans on the part of the
people. Still by whatever name it may be called,
the commotion is deeply momentous, as a sign

if the times. Betides if persevered in, it

most unquestionably bring forward the Pruesians
who must be already trembling for their
Rhenish provinces,' and thus lead to a war
with France, to whose protection the
Belgians would naturally entrust themselves.
This will place PHILIPPE the First in a most
awkward dilemma. For months to come he
will need peace to consolidate his own power,
as well as that of the Government, and, above
all, to reconcile contending factions who would
spring up throughout France with tenfold energy
at the ba:e mention of war ; yet, at the same

in►e, he willnot like—and if he did, his chivalrOus
leople win not—to see Belgium, which threw
ierself upon his honour, and which is still

French in heart and soul, in language end
in interests, overrun by the invading troops
of Prussia. But it is to he hoped
that the firmness and discretion of the Execu-

tive will be able to quell the insurrection of the
Belgians. It is to be hoped that the 'CMG
will concede a little and thus preserve all, warnea
by the example of CITA R1,F,8 X., which is worth
whole volumes or history. Tor full particulars
up to the latest period of the proceedings at
Brussels, Ghent, and elsewhere, we refer our
readers to another column.

Since the above was written we have received
the Courrier des Pays Bas of Saturday, which
contains a spirited address to the Burgher
Guard, under whose Government Brussels is
placed for the present, as well as a proclamation
of the. Burgomaster and the Echoing, in which
they announce that one of the most pressing
municipal taxes is repealed, and warn the citi-
zens to refrain from pillage and unnecessary
violence. The Journal du Gaud is furi-
ous against what it calls " the servile spirit
of imitation" that has displayed itself in
Brussels, and seizes the opportunity with a
shrewd eye to business, of impressing on
its readers the advantages that would accrue

from makiit client theta pital of Be'gimp.
is excessively indignant that the KING has
shown so much favour to Brussels, and, comp-
ratively speaking, so little to Ghent. The in-
surrection, as this journal seems to imply, is a
thing of little moment compared with such uu.
due partiality on the part of his MAJESTY.
adds, and other accounts corroborate the state-
ment, that tranquillity has been restored at
Brussels. How long will this last ?

oath. Let it be unchangeable ; let us hold !0 it as
a condition of our existence.

M. Von Maanen will be removed from all public
functions, ‘vith that man there never would be re-
pose or confidence. Those who were the instri-
mews of that unpopular man gill be removed with
him.

The penal responsibility of Ministers ouglw to he
speedily organiseil by a law. Where evil can be
committed with impunity. The Charter is a false-
hood, and liberty a vain word.
We turn our eyes towards the throne as citizens
devoted to their country, devoted to order and
liberty, without which the national independence
will be incessantly endangered. We ask with con-
fidence, with respect, but also with firmness, that
the King shall proceed. in concert with us ; this is
also the spirit of the fundamental law.
We conjure all the inhabitant,, who by their rank
in society can exercise some influence over the la-
bouring classes, to intervene promptly. Let them
give to the WorkMen,employment, even useless em-
ployMent, if it
,cannot be otherwise. All who do
not now return to order are guilty.
We yesterday related the events of the night, they
continued during the day, and the Burgher Guard,.
are now masters of the. whole city. The citizens do
their duty, they occupy all the posts, and zealowly
watch themselves over the public security, which
they guarantee.

Its the morning the fire of mthketry was almost
uninterrupted, blood flowed, and this resistuece of
the troops, by exasperating the people, nece,sarily
animated and prolonged the combat. Accordingly
the people continually cried to the troops—" Retire
—Surrender—Return to your barracks, and promise
not to fire any more!" It must be said, to the
honour of our soldiers, and especially the officers,
they are Belgians, and it grieved their hearts to shed
the blond of their fellow citizens, their friends, their
bretlnen. They listened to these repeated exhorta-
tions; by degrees they were seen to cease firing.
and to ask that their neutrality should be respected,
on condition of their not interfering. The contest
then became less violent, and there was every rea-
son to expect, if not a termination, at least a truce
to the combat.

As early as eight o'clock in the morning, the
principal citizens were joining the Officers of the
Civic Guard in the barrack of the iittnemeindec—
They called for arms, which were 'given them, and
in a short time paroles -of the Burgher Guard were
organized, and appeared in the streets. They inter-
posed between the combatants, and relieved several
posts which were occupied by the firemen and the
troops of the garrison.
About eleven o'clock a proclamation of the Ma-
gistrates was elistributed and posted up, announcing
the abolition of the mouture, still existing at Brus-
sels as a municipal tax, and inviting all the citizens
►o take arms, and provide for the maintenance of
the public security.
This promise 'concerning the mouture 'was in-
tended to calm the inferior classes, irritated at the
increase of the price of corn anti bread, anti who
might have proceeded to pillage in the midst of the
inevitable confusion. of an insurreatitm. Meantime
about noon, the Burgher Guard, whose numbers
continually increased, patrolled the city in all direc-
tions. There was no more firing. The troops had
ceased all attacks in the streets; . they fell back to-
wards the King's Palace, where the Royal Guard
essemlned, or retired into their barracks, ceasing all
resistance. Some soldiers were, however, obliged
to fire from a window of the barrack on an assem-
blage of the people, but this lasted only a few mo-
ments.

About one o'clock only a few musket shots were
heard singly, and for the most part fired in the alt.
The troops, in order to avoid every effusion of
blood, had prudently made peace. The Magistrates
by a new proclamation had engaged that they
should remain in their barracks. They again con-
fided the safety of the city to the armed inhabitants,
and promised that the public wishes should be Sub-
jected ton serious examination, and speedily satisfied.
About three o'clock the ancient standard of Bra-
bent was displayed on the Town-hall, and detach-
ments of the Burgher guard carried it about the
streets. It is red, orange, and black. The three
colours are disposed horizontally, the red above,
the orange in the middle. This banner ought to
become truly tuitional. The orange cockade has
disappeared, besides that is only the colour of a
family and not of a people. The oi-coloured flag,
blue, white, end red, is Dutch and French. The
red, yellow, and black it Belgian, and National at
the same time : the black would be for us, the orange
for the dynasty, the red for Holland.
During the whole afternoon the patrols continued
to traverse the city. All the armed men who were
met with were embodied, and their presence became
necessary, because vagabonds began to show them-
selves to take advantage of the disorder, which, they
would have excited, and then proceed to pillage.
The firmness and activity of the citizens prevented
that. misfortune.

The inhabitants then appeared in crowds in the
streets, where they met with no obstacle. The
houses and shops remained closed, hut it was through
an excess of precaution. Ladies were seen walking
about every where • the crowd repaired in preference
to the street De la Madeleine, and to the Sablon,
'to see the houses, hotel of Van Maanen, and the
house of Libry Bagma), which are completely
gutted and demolished. In the evening and during,
the night, the houses in all the streets were Muni-
nated.

The Burgher Guard did duty every where.
Already in the afternoon detachments were every
where seen with standards bearing the motto,
Liberty ! Security ! There armed citizens saluted
each other with bravos, and here they met and
shook hands with cries of " Liberty for ever."
This admirable activity, this organisation, which
is still very imperfect, hut spontaneous and rapid,
every where produced enthusiasm. The Burgher
Guards where stationed at all the gates, acting as
police, placed sentinels and prevented all disorders.
Some of them mere seen carrying to prison drunken
men who were attempting to steal.
The night passed without disorder, there
was only that agitation which was natural
after such events. An attempt was made to
force the entrance of the street of the
Museum, in order to go and destroy the rich toilet
of the Princess Marianne, hut. the Burgher Guard
apposed. it. Order and tranquillity are now every
where restored. The popular anger is appeased
nothing more is asked but to see the Government
better informed of its true interest, and at length re-
spect the voice of a people, who possess in a high
degree the gift of patience, but have never suffered
any one to drive them to extremity, or openly to
sport with their rights, their interest, or their .just
The Guard temxine tinder arms and continues
to do duty. There' are general complaints of the
