'l;uTtniert, Nov. 29, ,
Rekoie from onr Burthens on the 24th Notenthcri
owl on the following Days.
Already for several days past. this city had been
surrounded by partiea of Cossacks, ant. several
sumutonses had been refused by the French Com-
mond-Int, insomuch that the patience of the good
inhabitants had risen to the greatest height, when
on the 24th instant., early in the morning; a con,
siderable corps of his Prussian Majesty's cavalry
nod yager: appeared and made a heavy tire on the
town, but, however; without much effect, until
about oat o'clock, when a fresh corps appeared
from the side of Drummer, with six pieces of ar-
tillery ; when this was known, all hearts were
filled with hopes of a speedy deliverance
.from the
slavish yoke Lid on us by the Tyrant of Europe,.
and under which we have so long groaned. After
some indecisive negociatiuns for the surrender of
the town-, the &fog ou it having recommenced,
the indignation of thisbgheps at being brought
iuto such danger by a despicable troop•of Dona-
niers and some French soldiery, as to risk seeing
our dear town destroyed,' was so great that some
of the most respectable repaired to the gate,.
ivhere, finding the French Comniandant, they r6.'"
quired of kith immediately to surrender the town,
with intimation that the gates should he opened
directly to the victorious arms of Our liberators,
the Allies.

The town being surrendered at discretion ne,
reFsarily eamed some coulusion, but
,thanks to
Providence and the good discipline of the brave
allied troops, our town was preserved from all ir-
regularities, and by the good will of all the
bitu.nts every thing necessary was soon procured
forte, corps.ufabont 4000 men, cavalry and infan-
try,„ who had not tasted any thing Once three
o'clock-in the. morning, and the general spirit has
since spread itself all round ; every one bears the
colour of our oeloved Prince ; his flag waves from
the.,towers, and besides a general
which our citizens Made of their own accord, the ,
town has given a, ball to the officers of the garrir
son, at which the healths of our puissant Libera-
tOrs, .and that of our beloved Prince, were drank
with that enthusiasm which such unexpected hap- .
piness twist necessarily inspire in all bosoms.
,The Proclamation issued by Messrs. Von der
Duyn Von Manstlam, anti (4401., Karel Von:
Hougundorp, in the IlaillC of the Prince' of Orange,
waspirbiislied immediately on being received here;
and in cometprenee of the same, the Burgomas-
Jerb of this town, with consent *of the Governor
of that place, issued a Prochunation in the name
of slat Priori:, by which all. Burghers are called
qpon voluntarily to arm themselves to oppose the
general enemy. The national guard was likewise
organized under the mane of the Orange Guard.
Every individual must' feel it his ditty to as3ist
in grounding our new-reeovered liberty, in order
to, render us worthy of living under time mild and
.piiternarGovernment of the House of Orange;
and Livery one will likewise feel the neccessity,
whenever it should be required, of sacrificing
every thing Ito prevent our country from again
into the hands of an enemy thirsting
for revenge, and who would certainly totally
tic-
.stroy it. , .

aln my last of the 24th inst. I promised to
write yca again ; but .on Thursday morning the
French rein cal fighting from Velp, with a loss of
about t.'7 wounded And 10 killed, among whom
was the Commandant of the garrison and two of-
eers : they bad pouted themselves on the walls,.
awl prevented-AR passage out of the town.
" A constant firing was continued twit the
Afternoon, when ant% of
,truce came to sumnlon
the town, but which was refused by the French.
The superior force of the Prussians gave us- hopes
that it would not long remain uncertain'. The ge-
tecro.4ity Of these, enemies,. without. example, had
determined not to turn any others than the
Vrench,
:and above all, to Spare the town. From
time. to lime, tlag4 tit trace continued coming in,
but without Succe4s, until Sunday, when the
French having Ont.:, n up on the Gallows-Uill, a
severe :engagement took .iplacc there, tc, likewise
was the case at Driel, winch has cost mmmv
A skirmtsh took place-Again yestaday, near the
Jews linrial-gromul ; t Wenty-seven wounded and
three 1:illed were brought in, among whom were
Colonel kind rhflicers, mortally wounded. It is re-
ported, that 80 carts lOaded with theta have been
sent from Rricl to Nimet„;nen. Meanwhile, the
Prussians are.laying.about in the adjacent places,
and are very active, as the French cut down the
trees froni the walls, and, plunder every where.
The Rhine "bridge is filled with combustibles. .1 he

of Tarenturn, was here lust Sunday, and, as is
reported, was. very much dissatisfied with the

, simance for the defence of it, which is open, and
without any. fortificatitms.. , He went away again
