a rich fortified town of Germany, in the circle of Westphalia, and duchy of Cleves. It carries on a good trade with the Dutch, and both Protestants and Catholics have the free exercise of their religion. The streets are neat and regular, and the houses tolerably built. It was taken by the French in 1672, and delivered to the elector of Brandenburg in 1673, under whose jurisdiction it now is. It is seated near the Rhine. E. Long. 5. 29. N. Lat. 52. 5.
