NARRITIVR OF EVENTA T BRUiSMS.

PRICE 71).

BY A LADY OF RANiZ•

The following interesting narrative of the sufferings and escape of
an English party who were sojourning at the Helte-Vac Hotel, in I
Brume's, when the late sanguinary struggle at that city took place, is
' from the pen of one of the ladies who so unexpectedly found themselves
involved in the midst of scenes the bare description of which must
' strike the female bosom with terror. It will at once b: perceived that
the names of the heroines are not unknown in the circlai of rank and I
fashion :—Of all the cities on the Continent Brussels, perhaps, has been
the most favourite resort of the English since the conclusion of the war
in 1015, a circumstance which may be easily and satisfactorily cc.
counted for, whether we consider its vicinity to the scene of the short,
though brilliant and eventful campaign of that year, the good. will
which the inhabitants have ever shown towards us, or the beauty and
salubrity of the place, its handsome streets and palaces, Its park, with
avenues and vistas, disclosing to the eye at their terminations a pleasing
and uniform style of architecture, rendered still more striking from
the contrasts afforded by the vivid green of a foliage disposed and ar.
ranged with the beat taste and the most picturesque effect. Alas,
fair Brussels ! Can it be that the abettors of oppression, and the'
enemies of rational liberty and the just nights of man, styling
themselves the fellow countrymen of thy brave and generous sons,
have dared to deface thy beauty, and to inflict upon thy children
cruelties and horrors which none but savages or fiends could con-
template ! Shame, shame ! and eternal disgrace be upon them
But thy revenge s been sweet, and thy triumph nobly achieved.
It is not my intention to enter into a detail of the glorious
struggle for the independence of Belgium, which took place at Brussels
on the 23d, 24th, 25th, and 26th of September, the main features of
which are now well known ; but having been an eye-witness of the suf-
ferings and miraculous escape of some English families then residing at
the Hotel de Belle-Vue (oue of the principal points against which the
Dutch troops directed their attack,) I shad endeavour to interest the
reader by a recital of them. When the King's troops commenced their
assault upon Brussels, on the morning of the 23d, the English in the
Hotel de Belle-Vue consisted of Lady C—s B—nt—ck (niece to the
Duke of W--11,) and her two daughters, the eldest aged 13; Mr.
and Mrs. G. H. I)__m—d; Mrs. and Miss W-I—y, a very interest.
ing young lady ; Captains D— and S--n anti their servants. The
cannonading had scarcely commenced, near the Schaerbeck gate, when
Captains D— and S—n hurried to the Boulevards behind the Pa.
lace of the Prince of Orange, to observe, if possible, the advance of the
troops, and to see a nine.poundcr, belonging to the Burghers, pointed
and served. In a few minutes, however, they heard the grape shot
rattling among the trees over their heads, which induced them to return
to the hotel; when, just as they were turning the corner of the house, a
shell burst within a few yards of them. This sufficed to show that on
the part of the troops the most hostile disposition had been fully
determined on. Shells and grape shot were thrown in abundance
towards the Place Royale. Front the hotel we had a good view
of the advance of the military, who were received with a brisk fire
from the Bourgeois, posted in the houses and at the barricades.
The troops, however, by dint of superior numbers, were not long
in reaching the park, which the Burghers had (unfortunately
for them, and most unaccountably) neglected to occupy. They
rushed irough the park, and took possession of the King's
Palace, which was also unoccupied. Rapid as was their first success,
yet they were never able, during the four days' fighting, to proceed fur.
ther in this direction, and all their attempts to gain the Place Royale
proved fruitless, notwithstanding the very brisk fire they incessantly
kept up against the Bourgeois. It is a curious fact that not more than
about two hundred of the latter were upon and about the Place Royale
when the repeated attacks were made upon it by the military; but then
they had three or four nine-pounders remarkably well served. With a
view to take possession of those guns, a party of not more than forty
lancers advanced along that part of the Hotel de Belle-Vue facing the
park ; but they had scarcely reached the corner, and got into fire, when
they faced about, and hastily retreated as far as the King's Palace.l A
Ibrisk lire of cannon and small arms continued every day, without inter-
ruption, until the final retreat of the troops. The situation of the
English ladles in the Hotel de Belle.Vue became every moment more
critical. We had all removed to a room on the second floor, facing to
the Place Royale ; but some of the Burghers, having entered house,
commenced firing from the roof which naturally drew upon the build-
ing the fire of the troops. The rapid succession of shots from and
against the hotel, the continued roaring of the artillery close to its gates,
and the shouting of the combatants, were enough to intimidate the
stoutest female heart. It was found absolutely necessary to take the
ladies to a lower part of the house, more under cover, although in de-
scending the great staircase they became exposed to the fire of the
Dutch. They, however, all got safely down. The place of refuge was
the cook's garde.manger, a sort of cellar, on a line with and a few steps
lower than the kitchen. Being vaulted and underground, we remained
there, in comparative safety, until the afternoon of Saturday, the 25th
of Sept. The ladies gradually became accustomed to the noise of the
firing over their heads, and, as one or two of them were of a very lively
turn of mind, the cellar presented occasionally a scene of hilarity, fun,
and good-humour, which strikingly contrasted with the more frequent
one of alarm, terror, and despondency. It must not be supposed that
the ladies remained prisoners the whole time in the cellar. Woman's
curiosity prevailed, even at the risk of life • and there was many a creep
up stairs to:gain a peep at the scene without. At the same time it
would be unjust to attribute this motive to one lady, Mrs. D—d, whose
kind heart and genuine feeling induced her to visit the wounded, who
were at each instant, and in great numbers, brought into the hall. To
those brave fellows she rendered every assistance in her power ; and
they, though in agony, most warmly expressed their gratitude. This
lady had a miraculous escape from the apartments she occupied, at the
commencement of the attack. Several shuts passed through them ; and
in a few minutes after she left them they were tilled with all kinds of pro.
jectiles. (Inc ball in particular, from a six-pounder, with very good
taste, lodged itself on a spot the occupation of which, under other cir.
cumstancea, might well be envied—the fair one's pillow. In the after-
noon of the second day of the battle, a Belgic gentleman and his family,
who had been previously staying in another part of the hotel, near
the King's Palace, entered the cellar, where they made good
their quarters. There was something in this man's appear-
ance so mysterious and disagreeable,' that none of us felt disposed to
give him a very cordial reception ; and the result proved that we were
by no means unworthy disciples of Lavater. About the middle of Sa-
turday (the third day) a Liegois Chief came into the cellar, evidently
with a view to reconnoitre the party, when Mrs. D—d, by one of those
sudden impulses which seem to belong more to the secret workings of I
an ill-directing Providence, than to solely from human foresight,
extended her hand to him, and him to embrace her, intimating
at the same time that she trus-a5; him for protection. The Chief
nobly replied that withhis t life he would defend her, and shortly
afterwards left the cellar. The kiss thus bestowed upon the cheek
of this man, dirty and black as he was, from the thick of the
fight, was, indeed, a most lucky one for us, as it was certainly
the means of saving the lives of the whole party, both ladies
and gentlemen. In three or four hours afterwards there was
more than usual bustle sad noise, in consequence of the
Burghers having occupied the house in still greater force,
and brought one of their guns into the yard, ready, upon the
opening of a back gate, to pour grape shot upon the troops immediately
opposite, in the Park. It was at this moment that the Belgic gentle-1
man hastily entered the cellar and desired his family to follow him as
quickly as possible. He had, however, scarcely reached the front gate,
when the Liegois Chief before-mentioned seised him as his prisoner;
lin fact, he was a traitor, and had been strongly suspected by the Bur.
ghers of giving provisions during the night to some officers of the royal
troops, through one of the gates leading to the Park; and certainly
many circumstances, which it is needless to detail, tended to convince
us that those suspicions were but too well founded. Had the Burghers
rushed into the cellar, there can be no doubt, considering the highly
exasperated state they were in, that we should have all fallen victims
to their rage. Annher Liegois Chief has since informed me that,
having taken compassion upon this Belgic family, he used every
exertion to restrain the fury of the Burghers, and succeeded in
conducting them to the Hold de Ville; mill they were very
roughly handled, and the mother and daughter (a beautiful girl of
seventeen) were completely covered with mud, thrown at them by die
enraged populace. There was now every indication of a most despe.
tate conflict in and about the hotel; and, as our staying any longer
there must have subjected us to the most imminent risk of
either being massacred by the infuriated soldiery, should they gain pos.
session of the building, or of being buried in its ruins, should it be bat.
tered down, or set on tire, it became necessary to take a decided
step. The master of the hotel seemed to have lost almost all melt
peesesehms. He had become& marked man from his having harboured
the traitor and from other circumstances; nor indeed ear he be justi.
led fat hiving compromised out safety in each a manner. I shall never
forget the manner in which Lady C—s B—at—k addrased him at this
moment; she seemed to he fired with the ppirit sad decision of her
illustrious uncle. After considerable hesitation, our landlord in a sul-
len manner, told her she had better go from the house, and Lady C. in-
' staotly decided on leaving. The whole party agreed to follow her ex-

ample. When in the act or p...paring to depart five or six wined Bar
ghers entered the cellas, and olf.red to escort us to a plar..• of ssyry
They had evidently been sent by the Liegois Chief. We all
now left the cellar. Arrived at the gate ; !mute little hesi.ation ho;.,
shown, the Liegois Chief, whispered to Mrs. D—d " Vite, Vite, Ma-
dame." We sallied out, Lady C. with her daughters leading the vin ,
Captain S. with Mrs. W—y on one arm. and Miss W—y on the °don ,
were the next; behind them were Capt. D. and Mrs. D--d, followed by
Mr. D—d and his little boy, the party being moreul by six Burghers
The latter, having conduc.ed us slang thee Place 'Loyale, as fat :Is t..,.
Church, immediately opposite to the Montague de la Cour, desired
to cross the Place with them as quickly as potsible, as we kid now
pass through a very heavy fire of grap,.shot and inuakeuy. It was

shots whining past them. Antal we had got into the most exposed p.e.

fainting at the sight of her mother on the ground, its such a fearful
situation. But two or three of those brave Burghers, thinking the pos r
lady was wounded, ran forward front the corer under which they were
tiring, and carried her from her dangerous position. It was quite .
miracle that not one of the party was touched by a shot. Tee
Burghers having thus conducted us through the principal danger, ki
us by by-ways and back lanes to a house of great safety, where we
remained until the next moraine;, when we were obliged to go stilt
further from the scene of combat, and to break up the party by se.
curing such apartments as we could obtain in different hotel:
lower down in the town. Those brave fellows would tel.. •
nothing for the services which they had rendered us, and
actually returned several to the hotel at the hazard
their liras, for the purpose of bringing away our baggage, which, wi.!t
few exceptions, arising from the hurry and confusion of the menet: ,
was sately delivered to us. On the following day the contest was .
minated by the troops being driven from their position in the Park. at'
forced to a hasty retreat from the town, which now presented an app,,i•
anco truly extraordinary. For whilst the houses in the immediate ACc:
of action showed frightful evidence of the fury of the assault, and tl
obstinacy of the defence, the whole population thronged the streets s.
during a fete; every body, men, women, and children going about
view those spots which had been the scenes of the glorious and success.
fill struggle made by the Burghers for their liberty and independence.-
The English families alluded to cannot sufficiently express either
gratitude to the brave Belgians, or their admiration of their courage
battle, and moderation in victory, displayed in this noble and um,'
cause —" Pineal kr Beiges!"
