BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY C.
At length, after twenty years of oppression and
calamities—after having bent our heads to slayery,
under' the most harsh and odious of yokes, we now
see the dawn of happiness and liberty. That ambi.
Itions nation, which had spread itself through Europe
like a'devouring torrent,'andAwallowed up the blood
and substance of every people; abandons our fertile
countries. That ambitions mortal, who took away
and gave sceptres at his pleasure ; who mocked at
'religion, and sported with the faith or treaties—who
'filled the world with terror and dism,iy, sees over.
thrown the monstrous colossus of a paw, founded
on usurpation and iniquity. Horour to the brave
Muscovites, who from the banks of the Don and; the
Wolga came to those of the Scheldt to conquer the
peace and independence of Europe—honour to the
warlike Germans—to the valiant Scandinavi.ans—to
the generous English, who. shed their blood for a
cause so. noble, so gloriousi Velenders ci their
country, conquerors of liberty, t!;ey will gather lau-
rels pure and without blemish Their unshaken con-
stancy, their unheard-of exploits, will be the admira-
tion and astonishment of posterity. It is to their,ge-
neriTs-efforts • that we owe our deliverance., and the
hope of a happy lntur:ty.._

What Belgian will not feed the liveliest emotion in
his heart on reflecting on .the liapny lot in reserve for
ors ! Deputies chosen from the midst of xis to.express
our wishes and sentiments; the Belgic hoe fiercely
Ahakinghis chains; the Low Countries placed in the
rank of nations; our _privileges, our constitutions,
that inheritance which our ancestors left us, reTesta-
Wished by. a generous and powerful hand ; such is
the brilliant prospect which opens before us ; such is
'he termination which shill be the reward of our la•
boors. Let this..noble reflection animate and encou-
rage us. Let us imitate the example of our neigh-
b •urs, the Hollanders. Let us, like them, sacrifice
'our lives and our property for honour and pur coun-
try. Let us prove to our deliverers, that we have
not degenerated from the ancient Flemish vsjour.r—
Lei us make with them . the most generous efforts.
Soon shall we reap the fruits of so many sacrifice; ;
soon under the shade of a salutary peace, favoured
by
.H4ayse, we shall, see return the Tortunate age of
Albert and Isabella; the golden days of Maria The,
ress, whose name our fathers taught zs never to pro-
•notince bit with affectionate emotion; and if her
worthy grandson, the saviour of his country, shall
comply with our dearest• wishes, we will prove to
him that we do not yield to onr. ancestors in fidelity
nor in devotedness.

BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY If.
Te heem was yesterday chauuted in our Cathedral,
with all the pomp which the motive could inspire.—
The crowd of people *as ptndigious, and every one
•expressed the sentiments- with -which he was pent-,
crated towards the 411ied PpWITS, for the unexpected
happineu which they have bestowed on us, in de-
livering us, as if by enchantment, from a Goyern-
ment, which, for 14 years. past, has not ceased to de-'
prive our country of the flower of 'her youth, which'
has eehatsited her pepqlation, an 4 contjnyally tor-
mented her with useless vexations and continual re-
quisitions. The Princes, the Etat-Major of the place,
the Magistracy, and every person of distinction in the
city of Brussels, assisted at the solemnity. The gar-
rison, and other troops which were it the moment
at 'Brussels, appeared under-arms, and made a most
magnificent appearance. It was not without astonish-
ment, that we noticed among them some 'll4qi.o
horseback, dinominated Bashkir!, who come from
300 leagues on the other side of Moscow.
A Major Tuchsen, a- person strongly susplcted of
being a spy, was yesterday brought before the Direc-
tor of Ole I'dlice. It is said, that a letter from the
Commandant of the City of Antwerp was 'found in
the collar of his dog, In which he requests speedy
Succours, without which, he isstrts, that
.it will be
impossib'e for him to preserVe the plate entrusted to
bis charge any longer.
