See'Menestrier, Dutch Ed., PI. 40.) The musculus must therefore
allude to the virtual renewal of that treaty by the present
action of the Allies. The reverse refers to the bombardment
of the French towns by the English squadron.

Of the two specimens of this medal in the British Museum,
one has the artist’s initials on the obverse, the other is without
them : the die of the former is broken. The Duke of Holstein-
Ploen was directed by William to invest Hu y ; the town immediately
capitulated, and the heavy artillery being brought up, a
breach was effected in Fort Picard which was carried by storm;
the fugitives were so closely pursued that both parties entered
the Red Fort, together; the battering train was then brought up
and the citadel immediately surrendered. William, by various
feints, had drawn away the French army, which, therefore, did
not witness these proceedings. Louis, when he took Namur,,
declared that Victory delighted in spectators. William here
boasts that all spectators were driven away and not allowed to
view the grand spectacle.

■ The dies of this piece were executed by Martin Brunner, and
were used for striking draughtsmen. Hitherto the Alliés had
been compelled to act chiefly on the defensive. Huy was the
first fortress they had takèn, and they looked upon it as the
commencement of an era of retribution, and that Mars had
now become the ally of the Confederates.
