ritory,-we cannot-kate .your's, brave 110g.ans, without bid-
ding you farewell, and without expressiug ma. lively grati-
tude for the hospitality you hav% sla'wn to our soldiers. We
have had an opportunity of appreciating Your virtues; you
are a brave, a loyal, and a noble people! You have suffered
much by tilf irregularity which prevailed in the 6ctwithotz
department, but you have borne with patience the requisi-
tions from which it was impossible 'to exempt you. Your
situation has greatly affected me, but it was out of my power
to alleviate it.
"At the moment when danger seem to threaten you, we
were called to give aid. We hastened to come, and it was
much again 4 our will that we found ourselves compelled by
circumstances to await so long t fie commencement of the Con-
test, which we should have been glad to see begin sooner.
“The presence of our troops has heed burthet:some to
yo n• country, lint we base paid with our blood the debt of
gratitude which we owe you, and a benevolent Government
will find means to indemnity such of you as hate suffered the
most by the quartering of the troops.
" Adieu, brave Belgians ! Tine remembrance of the hos-
pitable reception which yon.have afforded us, as well as the
remembrance of your virtues, will be et;rnallyengraven on
our hearts. May the God of P.thee protect; your tine country;
mar h'e remove from it, for a long period, the trinities of
war; way you be as happy as you deserve to be--4,arewell!
" Marshal Prince BLliellEit.

The Belgians %rill read with pride the follow-
ing trait which will belong to the histiny of our
monarchy:—

His Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince,
hurried by ardour into the midst of the battle, was
surrounded and taken by the French. The 7tl!
battalion perceived the Prince's danger., hastened
to his assistance, and sncceeded in delivering him.
His Royal Highness timk off the iusigna of his
order, and threw it in the tiiiikt of the battalion,
saying, " Children, you have all de.,:erved it. It
was fastened to their colours on the field of battle,
amid cries of " Long lice the Hereditary Prince !"
All the Belgians swore to defend even to death
thil mark of honour, and at this sublime moment
many of these brave men fell while pronouncing
this patriotic oath.
