a sea-port town of Holland. It is a handsome strong place, and the harbour is well frequented. It was built by William prince of Orange in 1585; and in 1732 belonged to the stadtholder of Friesland. The river near which it is built is called Butterfliet or Holland Diep; and it is one of the bulwarks of the Dutch on the side of Brabant, where they always keep a garrison. This place made a gallant defence in 1793 against the French, who were obliged to raise the siege. It is 15 miles north-east of Bergen-op-Zoom, and 12 south-west of Dort. E. Long. 4° 39' N.
