a sea-port town of the United Netherlands, seated on the island of Voorn, in the province of Holland, and where the English packet-boat always goes. It is but a small place, confining only of a handsome quay, and two or three little streets. But it is very well fortified, and esteemed the safest harbour in the country. The largest men of war may come up to the middle of the town; and yet it has but very little trade, because the merchants choose to live higher up the country. It surrendered to the French in 1795.
