[News from London] A different account from what has
appeared in print is now circulated of the late dreadful
fire that has happened at the Flemish theatre in Amsterdam.
This account says, that the fire was not an accidental one,
but that the house being excessively crouded, great numbers
who were disappointed of admission fastened up all the doors
except the stage entrance, and then deliberately set the
building on flames, thro' a malicious desire of compelling
those to a disagreeable retreat across the stage who were
accommodated with places. . .
