LISLE, Dec. 6
ON Thurday last, the 2d. inft. a part of the '
Imperial army, headed by Field-Marfiial
Bender, entered the city of Brullels, aniidit uni
■verfal fliouts of joy, and cries of " Vivt Leopold,
uotrc bon Sovirain !" Ten huflars, with two offi
cers, were the firft who entered ; about 9 o'clock
in the morning, these tookpofleifion of the Corps
de Garde, next the Palace: soon after them came
a company of grenadiers, commanded by Captain
Keltelbutt, who proceeded to take the principal
pods in the city without opposition. The officers
frequently addrefled the people very ardently to
this efFett " My friends, endeavour to avoid all
insults ; they are forbidden on both fides, under
pain of severe punilhment." In the afternoon
caine the remainder of the Imperial column,
whose presence diffufed more real joy than ever
attended the ridiculous triumphal procelfions of
the Vandernootian clan. The Baron de Bender
immediately publiflied the Emperor's Declarati
on, that he would reign only by clemency, and
that the troops were to enter the country with a
total forgetfulnefs of the past.
At Namur, a fanatic curate fired upon a compa
ny of Auftrians as they pafled ; he was immedi
ately taken out of his house and hanged, in con
sequence of the notice which had been previously
given, that all insults on each fide fliould be pu
nished with death.
the companies have laid down their arms,
all the splendid liberty Poles are carried away,
and the Imperial Eagle universally reinstated.
General Schoenfeld,on his departure for France
was arretted by the inhabitants of Boff'u, in Hain
ault, but soon afterwards released. In his port
manteau were found 6000 louis, in gold, the
fruits of his inactive generalfihip.
General Vandermerfch is now entirely at large
at his feat near Menin.
All the prisoners in the cells of Bruflels, who
havelanguilhedfor many monthspaft:,now breathy
once more the wholefom air of real liberty.
A general amnesty is illued, with only three
exceptions ; these are, General Gavaux, Major
Afcamp, and Captain Solaves, for surrendering
the Citadel of Antwerp, and the latter taking fer
■vice among the Belgians.

PROPOSALS
FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A
COLLECTION of STATE PAPERS,
INTENDED AS MATERIALS FOR
AN HISTORY OK THE UNITED STATES OF
By EBENEZER A. M.
IN this collcftion will be contained the Charters of the
feveial states which now compose the Union ;—the Records
of the United Colonies of New-Engi a nd ; —Royal Induc
tions to Colonial Governors ;—Ext r acts from Public
Records ; —and other authentic Documents tending to elucidate
our History.
The deftgn of this compilation was intimated to Congrcfs, and
honored with their approbation.—On the 20th July, 1778, their
committee, to whom his memorial was referred, reported it as
their " Opinion, that Mr. Hazard's undertaking is laudable and
deserves the public patronage and encouragemenr, as being pro
ductive of public utility;" Whereupon they " Relolved, That
it be recommended to the Governors, Prefidcnts, and Executive
Powers of the several states in the union, to aflift Mr. Hazard,and
give facility to his labors ; and that for this pnrpofe he be admit
ted to an infpe&ion of public records, and be furnifhed without
expence with copies of such papers as he may judge will conduce
to the valuable end he hath in view.
He wasj of consequence, admitted to the infpe&ion and use both
of public records, and the collections made by individuals, from
whence this compilation (much the largest he has ever met with
on the fubjedl, and, he flatters himfelf, the largest ever made in
America) was formed. It has since met the approbation of many
eminent chara&ers,and even in its manuscript slate, has facilitated
the settlement of Tome important controversies.
The compiler cannot suppress the following letter from the honor
able the Secretary of State, to whose inlpeftion part of the com
pilation was submitted, as it contains so flattering and refpefta
blc a testimony in favor of the importance of the work.
" Philadelphia, February 18,1791.
SIR,
I return you the two volumes oj Records, with thanks for the opportu
nity of looking into them :—they are curious Monuments of the Infancy

on the originals deposited in our public offices : the late war has done the

usfave what remains ; not by vaults and locks, which fence themjrom
the public eye and use in confgning them, to the wafbe of time, but by such
a multiplication of copies as jhali place them beyond the reach of accident;
this being the tendenc\ of your undertaking, be assured there is noonewhs
wishes it a more complete success than. S 1 i?,
Yout mofl obedient and mofi humble Servant,
THOMAS JEFFERSON."
