If anv thing would make one wish for restric-

,oonstrous falsehoods relative to the conduct of
"a. Dutch troops; but have made constant in
,s;ries amongst the inhabitants where they were,
,ud net one can say but that they acted with
kindness aud humanity. All the pilaging and
hnrning of houses was done by the Bruxelois,
and these enormities are imputed by the before
mentioned Journal TO the Dutch.
The houses belonging to Mr.. Mecus, the bank

Will John Bull after this, and hundreds of
such facts, lavish his money upon this beer drink

uorabe to think of their suffering and pillaged
cantrymen in this unfortunate city.

Kings troops, and that to take the city II would

luables, and making preparations to save their
property, ~ burying 1t IN cellars, &c. Mean
while new works are constantly constructing to
defend the town. The walks on the bOulevards
are cut into trenches zg-zag, and formidable
batteries aud barriers are erecting.
Caricatures and songs appear IN abundance.

Of him was taken from the palace, and placed on
