It appears t 1: at winter has set in with unusual severity is the Pyrenusts, as we find that instead of having pushed on tp Bo? deaux. (as it was currently reported during the week on the authority of a private letter }ruin Paris) our army has been compelled to go into winter quarters. These were previously improved, however, by the capture of the town of St, Jean dc Luz after some severe opposition on the part of the enemy. This intelligence was brought in three days from Passages, as the following letter announces. FAL:mm.llr, Nov. '24.—Arrived the Duke of Kent packet with , a mad trum Passant, in three days. By her we Faro, that Lord, Wellington has taken the fort of St. Jean de Luz, with considerable loss on our part, and that he was gone into winter quarters. CAPTURE OF THE OUTWORKS OF DANTZIC.

On the sth inst. lie had demanded a parley, which had been granted, and the result was expected tohe, the capitulation of the gar' icon. This is rende' ed still more probable by the contents of Major M.Donald's dispatches given in yesterday's Gazette.

The suburb of Ohra (where the enemy had established several block-hott. es) as we:l as the hill which immediately commands it, were attacked on the night of the 10th instant, by a force comho•ed of Rusiian and Prussian troops. The hill was immediately cartied. hot the I;lock• houses continued in the possession of the enemy tied the foliouing evening, when, being set on fire. they were forced to abandon them. The loss sustained by the troop: employed on this occasion was severe, and may. I fear, be estimated at between tour and five hundred men, killed and wounded. This is the only event or any consequence which has occurred since I wrote your Lord. shit► on the ist ►nstant. The second is dated from the same place, Oct. 25th, and. states, that batteries were erected on the hill captured as tho 10th, which had continued to fire ever since the nbth, on that part of the town called Speickler Inset, where it was understood a .4quantit4 of provisions had been deposited.
