There WWI no capitulation made yesterday by•Kingl'

King Leopold, on seeing his troops retreat before 01,1 ii

trench was cut across the road, and several howitscrsr,
placed behind it.
The country people stared at the carriage in a'l'tod

Brussels towards this city. They all appeared delifid
that the Dutch had gone away. At Cortemb-rge wl:d
we stopped to breakfast, the landlady expressed her V
satisfaction that they had not.come to her house, for
neighbourhood towards Louvain hid been ravaged by I,
soldiers.

The head-quarters of Prince Bernard of Saze-#ll,
(for I understand it is an error to give him the
_b;,oo-4

German title of Duke) had been stationed at a publio•P'l,l
on the road-side, called the Mont de For. I went tor'
make inquiries, and found the landlady rejoicing al'°.o.

her poultry eaten, and herself flit Itened, on acenuf:ll

from the officers to protect her. Yet her daughtergtlik
rather good-looking had escaped, and she thank'd
for her deliverance. Sic appeared still so much I,l3rtio

The Dutch troops left Louvain about half-past,
