Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

Extract of a letter from Brussels, Sept. 13.

"We are in agitation here, all is war and rumours of war. On Friday morning last marched to the frontiers of Holland, upwards of 3000 men of the Bender regiment, by order of the Emperor, and double that quantity, consisting of dragoons, &c. are preparing to follow them; there is to be an immediate encampment near Antwerp, which is to consist in all 20,000 men; and late last night, a courier arrived at the Court of Brussels, to the Arch Duke's, but the secret of his dispatches have not yet transpired. The general speculation is, that the requisition made by the Emperor, is acceded to on the part of the Dutch, but others are of a different opinion, and conclude that this military pageantry will produce very serious consequences; mean time, the amusements and levities of this gay town go on as usual, and the grim-visaged war has by no means "smoothed his wrinkled front:" the Brabantians, or rather the anglicised Flemings, "dance to the lascivious pleasing of a lute."
