mittee of the ftates of Brabant suppressed, and its powers transferred to an engine of
fiate under the name of a council of general government. Universal confternation
and general difcontent. Great licence of language with respect to the fovereign,
and his violation of the inaugural compact and oath. Committee of the fates
of Brabant prefent a strong memorial to the court of Bruffels. People determine
refolutely to maintain their rights and liberties. The bold remonftrance of thẻ
Syndics gives new energy to this determination. Flame in the univerfity of Lou-
vain, occafioned by the Juppreffion of the ancient feminaries of inftruction, and
the establishment of a new school of theology, under the government of German
profeffors. All orders of men are thus coalefced in an oppofition to the acts and
defigns of government. Vifitor of the capuchins banished for refufing to fend the
novices of his order to the general feminary at Louvain. Mr. de Hondt feized
by foldiers, and fent a prifoner to Vienna. Spirited proceedings of the fates of
Brabant; refufe to grant fubfidies until the public grievances are redreffed; for-
bid all obedience to the intendants and their commissaries; prefent a fpirited me-
morial to the governors general; forbid the council of Brabant to pay any regard
to the late decrees, and command that tribunal to maintain the exercife of its func-
tions. States of Flanders and Haynault adopt fimilar measures with those of
Brabant. Syndics act a great part in the oppofition. Court of Brussels alarmed
and perplexed. Governors general suspend the operation of the new edicts, and
iffue a declaration which affords prefent fatisfaction. Mandate issued by the em
peror on bis return from Cherfon, exprefive of his resentment at the measur
purfued in the Low Countries, and commanding the fates of the refpective pro-
vinces, as a proof of their obedience, to fend a deputation of their members to
Vienna; where the governors general, and the minifter, count Belgiojofo, are
like wife ordered to repair. Count de Murray appointed to the government in
the abfence of the princes. Great alarm in the Low Countries, on the report
that an imperial army was preparing to march thither. Various measures pre-
ceding, and fome tending to an accommodation. Alarming tumult at Bruffels,
and fome blood bed, in a rash attempt made by the military to disarm the volun-
zeers. Farther ill confequences prevented by the excellent conduct of count Mur-
ray. Accommodation happily takes place; the public rights are generally re-
ftored; and the ftates grant the customary fubfidies.
