AT ROTTERDAM.

" Fellow Citizens !—.Our dear native country is threatened. Bel-
gium, having shaken off all just and legal authority, is aiming itself;
soon will Brussels try to bring the theatre of war on our frontiers,
to get rid of the tumultuous and rapacious body of men from whose
presence and insubordination it fears destruction.
" For this reason the rebellious, so styled self-created Provisional (io-
vernment, are going on to organize an army, consisting of deluded in-
furiated men and foreign adventurers. Their infamous newspapers are
setting forth every falsehood, and with a hellish spirit impose on the
Belgians, solely to spur them on with hatred and vengeance. Our own
preservation compels us to arm ourselves for a speedy and powerful re-
sistance ; the father of our country is calling up every man able to bear
arms, and let it be said, for the honour of Holland, how energetically
that call is answered.

" From all quarters volunteers are coming forward ; young teen of
the first families of our city set the example, and are ready to march.
" But although many of our citizens out of the humbler spheral of
life are panting to join the former, yet they are painfully withheld by
the idea that by their departure their dearest relations would be left

unprovided for.
" And can you, fellow-citizens, hesitate one moment to provide for
them and their families ? No ! it is to you, whom Providence has
bleated with ample means, that we direct our petitions.
" Bring liberal donations to the altar of our country. Give the
courageous but poor citizen the satisfaction, that while he is fighting
the battles of the good cause, his wife and children are not pining away
in poverty.

"To obtain this end we present to you a subscription paper, which
we trust will be filled in liberally.
•• signed by order of the Officers of the Burgher Guard at
Rotterdam,

• " A. BOOAERS, Captain.
"J. C. B. MOENS, First Lieutenant.
" Rotterdam, Oct. 5, 1830.
" P.S. We learn that shunsr subscriptions arc making for the poor
citizens in every town in the United Provinces."

~ ROTTERDAM, OCT. 11.

" His Royal Highness Prince Frederick has directed that the whole
of the infantry in active service shall be placed under the command of
Lieut.-Gen. Cort-Heyligers ; that Major-Gcn. the Duke of Saxe Weimar
shall have the first division under his orders, the first brigade being under
his own immediate command, and the second under Col. Reuther ; that
Major-Gen. Favouge is to have the third brigade; and finally, that Lieut.
Gen. Trip Van Zoutland shall have under his orders the cavalry
division, consisting of two brigades, commanded by Major-Oen. Post
and Major-Gen. Boreel ; and that the artillery shall continue under the
command of Col. List. In consequence of these orders, Lieut.-Gen.
Cort-Heyligers and Major-Gen. Favouge have established their bead.
quarters at Mechlin; Lieut.-Gen. Trip and Major-Generals the Duke
of Saxe-Weimar and Post, Colonels Reuther and List theirs at Antwerp;
and Major-Gen. Bored his at Waarlos.
" It appears that Liege and Ghent do not quite concur in opinion
with the Provisional Government on the form of government to be
chosen for Belgium. In these two towns, it is believed that a re.
public--even a federal one—ls not a form of government in any way
befitting Belgium. The Prince of Orange's proclamation has pro-
duced a favourable impression at Ghent and Louvain. At Ghent,
in particular, there are many vrell.disposed persons, who anxiously
desire a change of affairs and the restoration of order.
" A number of officers, natives of the northern provinces, and
chiefly belonging to the 16th division of Infantry, which formed the
garrison of Ypres, after being abandoned by their troops, received a
notice that they must leave the town. Having dressed themselves
as civilians, they commenced their journey with the view of reach.
tog the northern provinces as speedily as possible. On the follow-
ing day, however, they were stopped by a Burgher Guard, and con.
veyed as prisoners to Bruges."
