a town of the Netherlands, in the duchy of the same name, and in the county of Luxembourg, with a fortified castle, which is seated on a rock that is almost inaccessible. The French took it in 1676; upon which it was given to the duke of Bouillon. This duchy was a sovereignty, independent of France; and in 1792, the king of Great Britain granted to Philip d'Auvergne, captain in the royal navy, his license to accept the succession to the said duchy, in the case of the death of the hereditary prince, only son of the reigning duke, without issue male, pursuant to a declaration of his serene highness, in 1791, "at the desire, and with the express and formal consent of the nation." Accordingly, Captain d'Auvergne afterwards assumed the title of prince of Bouillon. In May 1794 this town was taken by storm, by General Beaulieu, after defeating a considerable body of republicans, and given up to pillage; 1200 French were killed, and 300 taken prisoners. It is seated near the river Semois, 12 miles north of Sedan. E. Long. 5° 20'. N. Lat. 49° 45'.

the manege, a lump or excrescence of flesh that grows either upon or just by the frush, insomuch that the frush shoots out, just like a lump of flesh, and makes the horse halt; and this is called the flesh blowing upon the frush. Manege horses, that never wet their feet, are subject to these excrescences, which make them very lame. See Frush.
