A letter written from the Hague. on the same
day. SAYS, '.affairs seem to be taking very
alarming turn. not only in the Netherlands bat
throughout the whole continent; and we have,
to day. received not ONLY an account of the tu-
muts al Brunswick but there are also reports that
revolution had broken out at lIessc Casscll. -
When the accounts came away from the latter
place. it was said very great disorder prevailed
and that the conflict was proceeding al d had oc-
casoned loss of life This statement, however,
must be received with caution"
The King. on the 5th of September. issued a
Proclamation. announcing that he should consult

of Orange. were insurgents and revoters; now
they may be publicly called by that name. as the
Government Journal calls them so. People con-

revolt. is of dubious and unpleasant character
The Proclamation was burnt. and il was suppos-
ed the speech would share the same fate on lis
arrival. On the one hand, it is stated that the
inhabitants are determined to assert their rights
at the hazard of their lives: whilst, in other
quarters 1t is confidently said the tumults are
iomeuted by handful of the discontented. and
that the respectable inhabitants have no desire
for any political changes, and are only anxious
to put an end to the anarchy which at present
prevails.

At this moment the people are busily employed
IN barricading every avenue to the town. There
is yet no decision from the King. but about 90.
Geo Dutch troops have arrived on this side of
Vilyorde, with fifty pieces of cannon; they are
well armed. and they have also brought numbers
of rockets. Last nj ht they attempted to come
into the town, but were rcsolutsly rerelled by
the Bourgeois, who evince the greatest resol1
