 JUAN VAN iIALEN,7 ? l Victory must not hinder us from ta- king measures for our security. New Hbarricades are raising in the New Roy ale, where three pieces of cannon are to be planted. However, when the men of the north go and relate in their marches how tine Beigiahs have Teiiev- Cd them, we may believe that those he- roes will lose little of their warlike ardour, and that they not agalnven- ture to appear before us. We were mistaken when We announced yester- day that the Palace of the States-Ge- neral was burnt; it was the adjoining houses that were burnt. The fire caus- ed by bomb, in the house of Counsel Tor Greindl, was immediately extin- euished, The wretehes who have left our city during the night, shot before their departure, all the toreignerswhom they had taken prisoners during the six days of the combat which has just en- ded. Several Frenchmen fell victims to their rage.
 An army of Tartars would not have behaved with more cruelty and bruta- hty than the Dutch soldiers. To fire and pillage they have added rape and assassination. Many housesin the Rue esta and the adjacent streets are meH- toned as the scenes Of such excesses. Numerous detachments of prisoners and deserters increase from ali quarters 1 they wear at their button holes the trl- colored ribband of Brabant, and cries of < Liberty foreverm raised as they pass, are repeated by themWith enthu- siasm.
 This morning, at eight o'clock, the people went to the house of Mir. fred. Meeus. in moment the whole house was pillaged; the furniture thrown into the street and burnt. The house was then set on fire, and IS now burning with great fury. We hope 1t will not reach the adjoining houses. This act of pop lar vengeance is aseribed to various mo- tives. We do not know what to think of it.

 BRUSSELS, Sept. 2s.-Among the persons who have fallen victims to the l fury of the Dutch soldiers, we may mention Lord Blantyre, who was killed in his hotel in the Rue Royale. 1t was onthe 24th when tic citizens made them selyesmasterso of the hotel, thathc met his death. We are assured that Lord Blan- tyre was General Officer in the Eng lish service. His familys consisting of ten children, found means to escape. l Itis positively affirmed that the Dutch troops were guilty of the most brutal exccsses in an English Boardlng-school in this city, where thereare many young persons of the first English tafnilics.-- Energetic complaints have been sent to London upon this fact, as well as +oi the horrors committed by these Van dals in the hotel of the British Ambas- sador.
 Several subaltern officers of the gar rison of Journay have arrived here.- They have been immediately incorpo- rated in a free country.
 Nj. de Potter arrived yesterday at five o'clock by the gate of Andcriccht, in a post chaise, accompanied by two other 1 persons, one of whom bore the tri-color- ed flag, the people immediately took off the horses and drew him in triumph to the grand square, where the corps de garde presented arms. On arriving at the Town Hall, he appeared at the bal cony with some of the members of the Provisional Government, and addressed the people, declared his sintention to act with his whole soul to conquer and se- cure our liberty. The popularity which he has so nobly and justly acquired, gives us the assurance that his presence will complete our victory.
 The ladies of Neville have just sent to our hospitals two baies Of lint, and some more will come in the course of the day. All the mills at Neville are grinding corn, which will be immedl-
