Siege of Nijmegen (1794)

1152:; Allied bombardments from the Bemmelsedijk tried in vain to prevent this. By this time, it was alleged that all Coalition outposts had been evacuated or captured by the French, who took many Allied POWs. The Prince of Orange changed his mind about his earlier decision on 28 October, and announced that he loved Nijmegen too much to just surrender her to the enemy. Hulst, who showed some pro-French sympathies in his account, called the stadtholder's decision to risk the city to withstand a siege 'nonsensical' because of a lack of supplies, and he claimed that the citizenry would rather capitulate quickly. General Wallmoden would also once again have given the order to evacuate the city, and have left it himself. The well-covered French batteries in Ooij were hard to hit, but they themselves were highly efficient in firing on the eastern walls. The other sides of the city remained quiet. Meanwhile, the shortages in combustibles and 1234:
the city had almost been evacuated. Several hundreds of troops were sent on reconnaissance to inspect the occupation of the walls. They scaled the walls, entered the city without resistance and opened up three gates (the Hesepoort, Molenpoort and Hertogsteegsepoort), after which the main force was informed. Around 4 am, French troops spread throughout the city to occupy strategic points. From the other side, captain Reine (a Dutch Patriot) advanced to the Hunnerpoort to demand access in the name of the French Republic. This was granted by the magistrate, and the French took over the gatehouse. The remaining Dutch States troops who could not flee the city because of the burning pontoon bridge were taken prisoner. The prisoners of war were disarmed on the very same day, and escorted to

howitzer bombardments around 7 or 8 pm. The impacts caused major panic inside the city; most civilians fled to their cellars for cover. Dutch troops launched desperate sorties, but at the cost of more soldiers on their own side than they could inflict on the French. The floating bridge was damaged, but carpenters restored it in the midst of the shooting. At night, several English battalions, the majority of the English and Hanoverian cavalry, and some artillery units abandoned the city. Dozens of English soldiers set themselves to looting houses in order to take away as many goods as they could lay their hands on to the other shore, but Dutch soldiers and armed citizens were able to arrest a large number of them, and about 50 pillagers were executed.

A French attack near Hees was beaten back. The pontoon bridge across the Waal was filled with combustibles so it could be burned after crossing, preventing the French from using it. The French vainly tried to shoot the floating bridge to pieces before the Allies could use it for a retreat. On 26 October, there was combat near the Pelmolen with an unknown number of casualties. The Emigrants of Dumas left the city in the direction of 1119:
stadtholder ordered to not defend Nijmegen against the French, and so the evacuation of the city was commenced. On 22 October, there was heavy fighting between outposts between 2 and 6 o'clock, causing at least 80 Allied casualties. The French approached the city to within 15 minutes, but then retreated again. There were skirmishes at 7 o'clock in the morning and also in the afternoon of 23 October. The French army's main force was stationed in Wijchen, while inside Nijmegen the Allies continued to station more troops, for example in the

It was not until after the steeple had collapsed that the fire would be extinguished around 11 pm. However, a new fire in the Hertogsteeg could not be tamed, and several homes completely turned into ashes. The City Council held a meeting at 7 o'clock, but most

On 10 January 1795, Pichegru crossed the frozen Waal, after which only little fighting was needed in the rest of the country: on 16 January, the province of Utrecht surrendered, and on the night of 18 to 19 January a nonviolent
