The obstinac, (as II was called Of the King OF Hol-
land, in retaining the Castle Of Antwerp, and re-
sisting the demands Of France and England, was
long regarded with amazement. and generally
laid to the account of the personal wrong headed
ness Of King William.
Still, he is admitted, bv those who Know hin
best, to be one of the ablest OF the re'Snlng mon
archs. II that be allowed him, his conduct must
be attributable to policy rather than perrerstty;
for conscious that his Kingdom. even with Belgl
um included, forms only secondary power. it is
impossible to suppose that he would have rIsked
actual encounter, and protracted antagonist ne

great fires, partial burnings are every day taking
place, which occasion a vast share Of alarm; and
a general apprehension seems to be entertained
that Constan,nople is to be devoted this year to
an awful calamity Of this nature. Some persons
say that the fires which have occurred are the re-
