Route 23. 347 the hasis of this law, union and reciprocal equality, gave rise to this adage: : Trajectum neutri Domino, sed paret utrigue which may he translated, « One lord, no ruler; two lords, one tuler ». After 1632 the rights of the Dukes of Brabant passed to the States-General of the United Provinces. ” In 1407 John of Bavaria, surnamed the Impious, Prince Bp. of Liege elect, was hesieged ‘here during 7 weeks by his revolted subjects, who, at the end of 7 weeks, were compelled by the severity of the winter to retire; the following year they again laid siege to it with an army of 80,000, but at the end of 16 weeks, after several fruitless attempts to take it, they relinquished their design. On 8 March 1879 the Duke of Parma besieged the town, which held out valiantly during more than 4 months, women and chil- dren joining in the defence; after § unsuccessful assaults, it was taken on the 29th of June and 7,000 of the inhabs. massacred. In 1632 it was taken by the Stadtholder, Frederic Henry, Prince of Orange, and in 1673 by the French under Vauban. In 1676 it was hesieged in vain by William II, who retired at the end of 40 days on the approach of the French army under Gen. Schomberg, 6 having lost 12,000 men. In 1678 it was given up to the Dutch by dj | the treaty of Nymeguen; in 1748 it capitulated to the French under if | Marshal Saxe after 21 days siege; it was restored by the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in the autumn of the same year, In 1793 the French republicans under Gen. Miranda tried in vain to take it, gd | but in 1794 it capitulated after 4 days severe bombardment direc- - | ted by Gen. Kleber and Bernadotte. [n 1814 it was given up to | Holland to which it was preserved in Sept. 1830 by its brave garri- (oz | son; it was the only place which effectually resisted the revolted Belgians. Maestricht, which, together with Venloo and Ruremonde, was secured to the King of Holland by the treaty of 1831, is now the capital of the Duchy of Limburg and one of the strongest fortres- ses in Euroje; it has 7 gates; its works, nearly 3 m. in circumfe- for | Tence, are partly undermined; they include the suburb of Wyck, | to which the town is united by a bridge of 9 arches, 1698-1714 : by means of slnices great part of the surrounding country can be jis] | laid under water. I The Hotelde Ville, a detached building in the centre of the great market-place, erected 1689-64 from the designs of P.
