But this truly gallant Amazon de clared, that thole who (hould attack these disarmed prisoners rriuft fir It take her life :—nor did (he quit them till (lie had conveyed them 10 prison, and thus (ecured them from every oilier vengeance lave that of the law. The Federifts of the 83 Depart ments, who had witnelled both her braveiy in the attack, and her huina nitj after victory, bellowed upon her a civic crown, as the reward of her virtues.

The befiegeis, as one may fay, fuffered 110 lo!s, and there were only a few of the laborers wounded. His Excellency Count Clairfayt having on the 2rft, advanced with his army Longwy, eretfed some batteries, which the besieged endeavored to destroy by keeping np a violent fire during the whole of next night, buc their guns having been badly pointed, our batteries wei e opened at the break of day, and a great number of bombs were thrown into the town, which set fire to it in feyeral places, but the besieged fountl means to extinguish the flames. The night followingrecommenced their fire, ltill without e(fe<st, while ours did considerable execution. In the mean time his Excellency Count Clairfayt sent a trumpet to fuinmon the Commandant to Surrender ; but this being refufed, the army began to make neaer approaches, upon which the besieged offered to capiiu- I late.
