Full Text
The Brussels Gazette contains several long letters from the Commander in chief of the Patriotic army, giving intelligence of different battles between his troops and the Austrians, in which as he says the former were always successful, though the carnage has been great on both sides. This intelligence is so far certainly true—that there has been much blood shed, but we are not inclined to give any great degree of credit to what the Brussels Gazette contains, as it is wholly under the influence of the Congress, and dares not publish any other than partial accounts.
