The charge which General Vander Meersch is accused of by the assembly of the Belgic states is—that forgetting he derived his authority from them, by permitting himself to be chosen generalissimo by the officers under his command, by suffering the deputies sent from Congress to be arrested, and other proceedings, he has brought the country to the brink of destruction, and it was time for them to take every measure to save the nation from the impending ruin; that for the rest he might depend, that as the states had granted him a court martial, he would be heard with equity, impartiality and justice.
