students, by name Leeman's and Nieuwenhuis ; both,
however, slightly—the srst in the arm, the latter in the
heel of the left foot. As regards the Groningen Jagers,
we have to lament the death of the truly brave Lieutenant-
Colonel Valkenburg, who was thereby deprived of the
opportunity of receiving in life his share of the fame of
the following day. During the night, about twelve Leyden
Jagers were brought in, too much exhausted for the mo-
ment to undertake any new service, and they, with their
wound d comrades, were ccnveyed to the hospital of
Thienen—an establishment founded in 1625 by our good
King's pecuniary assistance, and which is carried to such
a degree of cleanliness as is not common, and in regard
to humanity needs not yield to any establishment in any
country. . _ _

I❑ these and similar occupations, with the prospect that
it would be followed by a dreadful morrow, closed the
night of the 11th. It was succeeded by such a beautiful
morning as, since last September, has not broken upon our

country.
Under the music of the Netherlands bands the Nether-
lands troops marched out with calmness and dignity on the
read to meet the enemy. At break of day they arrived in
sight of him. The first and third division were exclu-
sively intended for the attack, whilst the second, with the
Duke of Saxe Weimar at its head, made a circuit towards
Medi and took the enemy in the rear. About six
o'clock in the morning both Princes entered the field of
battle, and the Prince of Orange was observed to show
great calmness and courage, as if he were Mars himself.
In the mean time, the 2d battalion of the 24 division of
South Holland Guards (Rotterdammers), under command
of Captain Van Daalen, had tntered Thienen (Tongres),
to remain that day in garrison. The cannon resounded
more and more heavily. The position of the enemy was
on the so called Iron Hill, where they had twenty-two
gulls, under command of General Clump, and mustered
about 25,000 men. At eight in the morning an estafette
(snelde) hastened precipitately into Thienen, bringing-the
news that the Prince of Orange's war horse's fire legs
were crushed by a cannon bail—a circumstance,
however, which did not for a moment disturb the
calmness of that courageous Prince, or disorder
his indescribable presence of mind, to give com-
mands and examples of bravery. Some moments
afterwards, a bluekieler (a person in a blue over-dress, like
an English waggoner's frock) was made prisoner, and
brought in by a marechaussee (Provost Marshal's man),
who had found him hiding in a potato field on the Prince's
route, possessed of a musket and three ball cartridges.
This lurking assassin, lately a compositor in the office of
the Caurrier des Pays Bas, wore a small silver medal on
the breast—on the one side was the inscripti..n, " Aux
defenseurs de la patrie," and on the other, " Vaincre ou
mourir." Generally it was believed that this robh-r had
killed the horse of the Prince of Orange, which was af-
terwards discovered not to he true; but the bandit, after
an examination, was consigned to the very strictest im-

prisonment.
Towards mid-day the artillery, which had played the
chief part (hoofdrool), became manifestly more slack, which
led to the belief that a negotiation was going forward on
the field of battle. This we afterwards learned was ac-
tually the case, and that three different attempts were made
for the purpose of begging that on our side hostilities
should cease. 0 you Dutch cowards, how dare you frigh-
ten the Belgic heroes!
The names of the Commissioners (purlementaires) who
were sent by Leopold, who in the mean time had cho-
sen the road to Mechlin, are said to be Colonel Price,
Lord William Russell, and the Ambassador Adair. Al-
though the last, an aged man, in the most feeling
words, besought, and with marks of sincere inward
emotion, tried to move the Prince to friendly arrange-
ment, the treachery of the Belgians had anew directed
the mouth of their cannon, and made a fearful charge on
the centre of our army, pirticulatly where the cuirassiers
were stationed, with the result that the brave Colonel
Galliers, of the 9th Regiment, with his worthy son, an
Adjutant. were crushed (verbryzeld) ; the first nearly
cutting off the lower legs, the latter just above the foot.
Towards the evening there was no longer any hope of the
recovery of the Colt.nel, who had been conveyed weak
and suffering from the field of battle to the house of the
estimable wislow Van den Bosch, who is known to be
much attached to the Orange party, and continued to
insist to be allowed to receive the wounded brave.

The son of the Colonel, whose life is not despaired of, is
taken care of at the house of the not less generous Devaux.
At last, in the afternoon, about five o'clock, was ended
the uncertainty and anxious expectation which possessed
every good-hearted Netherlander, by the glad tidings that
the object of the battle was obtained, the capitulation of
Louvai❑—on conditions.

(The Breda Courrant proceeds with the terms of the
capitulation. There are three principal and a supplemen-
tary article:-
1. The surrender of Louvain, at twelve o'clock, on
the 13th.

2. The occupation of the gates anti posts by Dutch
troops, on the morning of the 13th.

3: A suspension of hostilities for three days,
Supplement—The brave Belgians permitted to march
out bag and baggage.)
AMSTFRDAm, At:G. 13.—The receipt of Batavian jour-
nals to the 17th of March, with the uews that the colony
enjoyed profound tranquillity, and that the military force
was in the best order, (two Belgians who had publicly
commanded the Belgian insurrection having been placed
in s,fe custody), is of the more importance, as it may be
considered as a satisfactory refutation of the alarming re-
ports concerning Java, which were given in the English
journals.

A private letter from Prussia, of the .13th ins'., says,
that fiir some days past there had been extraordinary move-
ments in the Prussian army. The German Papers do not
yet mention this circumstance. The Prussian Slate Gs-
zate of the 1 Ith contains from the 3lonitear the notice
of the advance of a French army to Belgium.
BaEnx, AUG. 13.—1 t is equally impossible to de-cribe
the despondency of the inhabitants of Thienen on learning
our glorious conquest of Louvain, and the enthusiasm of
the garrison of the former place, when the Prince of
Orange and his brother, with their suite, returned to the
town in the evening. The Prince of Orange, with his
usual affability, cue tinually repeating " Comrades, we have
remaintd masters of the head." Atter dinner orders were
given to transfer the head-quarters to Louvain at eight
o'clock on the morning of the 13th. Such measures of

When our courier left Titienen the house was burning

they were immediately checked by setting it on fire by
order of the Duke of Saxe 'Weimar.

fortified by means of palisade. After the battle his Royal
Highness the Prince of Orange sent an officer to inquire
.what truth there was in the assertion that the French
troops had entered Belt;ium, hut nothing was known of
the result when the Aide-de-camp, sent with the news of
the victory to his Majesty left head.quarters.
The Btlgians estimate their army that was before Louvain
at thirty thousand turn.

After our victorious troops entered Beeringen a tire
broke out, probably in consequence of the preceding
cannonade, which spread rapidly, and destroyed eight or
ten houses. The who e village would have been undoubt-
edly reduced to ashes had not the Dutch exerted themselves
with complete success t. stop the progress of the flames.
The whole population was greatly affected, and especially
the owners of the houses that were burnt, when they
learned that the troops had subscribed two hundred florins,
which, though a trifle in comparison to their loss, had the
double advantage of being placed promptly and seasonably
in the hands of the clergyman, who immediately distri-
buted it amongst the sufferers.
