He was attacked in it on•the 3d of March by the Generals de Wittgenstein and Nirede. • ' • 44 The villages of Lanbrussel and Tenelier were carried by assault, under the protection of a fire of artillery, all hot as it was well directed. The French I were dislodged from the advantageous position they occupied. Their retreat was made in the greatest disorder. " The multiplied attacks of cavalry increased the confusion. All threw themselvep pelt melt into I Troyes. The corps d'armee, under the command of Gen.

M LORD,—Lt becomes my painful task to report to your Lordship, that an attack on Bergen-op. Zer‘ni, which seemed at fitst to promise complete . success, ended in failure, and occasioned a severe loss to the Ist division, and to Brigadier. General Gori's 'brigade. , - It is unnecessary for me to state the reasons which deteimined me to make the attempt to carry Inch a place by storm, since the success of two of the columns, in establishing themselves on the ram - iambi, with verrtrifling loss, must justify the having incurred therisk for the attainment of so important •-an olvject, is the capture of such a fortress. tioops employed were formed in four • as per margins.

No. 4, right column, attacked at the en-' trance of the harbour, which could be forded at low• 1 water, and the hour. was fixed accdrdingly at half - vast ten P.M. of the 9th instant. _ _ Nlojor-General Cooke accompanied the left co-. loom. Major-General Skerrett and 13rigadier-Ge.' nerat Gore both' accompanied the right column; this' was (he first which forced its way into the body of the place.
