" Althomei the country which is in front of the

treated, and property respected, as has hitherto been
the case.

" it would be inhuman, and. unstorthy. ofthf
nations to w,hich the General in Chief alludes, to
revenge that conduct upon the peaceable inhabitants
of Prance ; and this vengeance Would in every case
rause the fumy evils similar to, or even greater than
those which die enemy has snffared in the Peninsula,
and w nuld be very opposite to the public interests.
" The .same regulations must, •therefore, be oh-
served in the cities and villages of France, as have
hitherto been practised, in regard to the'requisitiotts
awl receipts for provisions which may be drawst from
the country ; and the Commiisaries belonging to elicit
army of the different nations will receive from.their
respective Generals-in-Chief orders relaiiie to the
mode of pay meat for the provisions, and the time
wit 'din w hick the payment must be.mide."

In the tumult which is in some measure unavoidable
oo.every great change of affairs, and contributed so
greatly to the general tranquillity : the officers ha-
ving repaired in a body to his Excellency the Gen.
Von Oppen, to pay their respects, and at the same
time to offer their assistance, and request his Excel-
lency's co-operation in the foresaid duty, met with
such a happy reception, that his Excellency not only
expreited his, approbation thereof, but likewise de-
clared he Would honour the performance with his
pi esence.

64 After a procession in state, and amidst the re.
peated plaudits of all the inhabitants, the flag was
placed on the gates.
" The General, in an affecting speech, admonished
the armed burghers, to proceed in their zealous ef-
forts for protecting peace and good order, and like-
vi i'e to show on their parts, that they would contri-
bute with their utmost power to keep this beloved aag
always flying. •
44 This speech was attended with repeated buzzes ;
and thecries of Long live the Prince of Orange, our
lawful SOTerrign!—Long live the King of Prussia -;
!-
Loug live General Von Oppen!'—made- the air to
resound, and which was affsctionately returned by•
the General and his Officers, exclaiming, Long live
the Bur4hers of Celenborg !'

Church, and there received a suitable admonition:to
gratitude towards she . Supreme Being for this Nippy
occurrence ; after which they left the church, with
the bells ringing, and ',pent the remainder of the day
in suitable and decent rejoicings."

the patriotic love of their-Officers, and of their at-
tachment to their Sovereign, his Royal Highness.—
A laudable instant* of this has been given- a few,
days Owl- by Met Einurcourd, appointed Receiver
of the Public Duties at Rotterdam, by his generous
oiler made to the Depaetment of War, of sending
to the army of .ivieb Royal Highness one man and
horse, to be kept at his expence ; and which offer
has been accepted by the Government, with thank..
to the patriotic zeal of the giver.
