It is said that, in consequence of the prepa
rations orderd in Bruxelles for the reception
of the French troops there, a Deputation of
feme of the principal Magistracy of Brabant
ha 6 been sent to the King of Prussia, begging
his proteftioit against such violation of their
conftitutica, .and at the fame time making
overtures to him of a very particular nature.
The commotions in Brabant seem now
drawing to a cri/is, for no doubt can now
remain of the Emperor’s intention. That
he has fold the country to France appears evi
dent, for no power can be lo great a (tranger
to the intrigue of that Onirt as to allow it to
garrison ns fortified towns on the faith of

With regard to the Emperor of Germany,
although his departure from Vienna, will not
take place till towards the middle of April,

ceived orders to march for Hungary, towards
