ROTTIIRDAY, Dec. 13.—The Burgomaster of this city basset's to inform the good burghers of the fol lowing intelligence, communicated to him by the Imperial Russian General You Beukemiorff, that the lippprtant fortress of Breda is taken by his Im perial Russian Majesty's troops, and that the French • 'gair:son, 1800 men strong, in attempting to retreat to Antwerp, were attacked by the foresaid troops with such good effect, that 600 of them were made prisoners. Given at Rotterdam, Dec. 11, , (sips) J. F. VAN HOGENDOItFF. We have received intelligence that the French Ge 'tend Baron Losiet, late Commandant of the Depart ment of the Months of the Meese, at Gerbuuden berg, is made primmer by the Cossacks. Dtc. 13.—The passage of Allied troops, both infantry and easalrn and of several batteries of artillery, through thip place, by the way •opf Papeedrecbt, has never ceased since Friday last, sad en Saturday we likewise saw &party of the same pito through here. They all took the road to Bar. This day English troops are likewise to pus =2:ev Papendvecht, who will cross the Mane at eld, and are probably destined against Ant- werp. The &moatst of the Allied troops which bad al ready crossed at Werkenda, was yesterday estimated at upwards of SOW MP, and maay move must have . since crossed, er will cress at the same place. Two bridges of boats are thrown► over the Let, via. at Kireleuburg and at Pared ; the first was •coasilleted on Saturday, and the ether yesterday.

AMSTERDAM, DEC. 11.—In order to compel the fortress of Naardeo to a speedy surrender, the Go. vernor-General of this city, Krayettof, determined on forming a corps of observation, not ouly to se cure the villages and isolated dwellings in the vicinity of that fortress from plunder and mordent. In harden there is already a great want of every thing. Yesterday the bakers left off baking, as they had no more supplies of flour on hand. I)oaDercltT, Dec. 11.—On the quitting of WU liamstadt by the French, and of the flotilla posted there, every one who was not a native at Antwerp, lt-ft that city, and are on the road hither. It is with pleasure that we have to state, that the whole crew of the ship Chatham, laying at Antwerp, in so far as they consisted of Dutch seamen, quitted the ship ex Incase at Antwerp, and are on their road hither. The quarter-masters are already arrived here. Ac cording to the quarter-masters' report, this crew consists of about WO men, and on their departure the greatest disorder reigned at Antwerp, so that this large and important city Will certainly be gained to the good came, on the first appearsace of the allied troops before its walls. • - d i:7MM awls woasup.4 Airman tbis iilay received information that flehouwen and Dnweland have de. clued for tie Prince's side. In the course of Tues day the bbars and peasantry appeared en masse be. fore the gate of Zierickzee, demanding that the place should immediately be evacuated by the French. In the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, the Pesch Commandant departed, with all the military and French Authorities, and 'on .Wednesday 250 English marines arrived In that town. These soldiers assure us, that a fleet, with land troops on board, were on the ceast, and intended to land at Wal cheren. • The Commissioners for repairing the damages at "Woerden, having thereto been authorized by the Provisional Government of the city of Amsterdam, are to PIUS a general collection to be made by Van Wyck, C.

A serious affair had taken place a few days before At Wimevegen, with tbeSpeniatils there, who, after having been made prisoners of war, had entered into .the French service, and refused to march to Greve. On Tuesday, the 30th of November (the day on which that town wart stormed), the retreating French had arrived in the greatest disorder at Nime seen. According to the report of the fugitives, a greater number were drowned in'passing the Rhine bridge, than is as yet known. The Duke of Tares tufa had retired to Kleet BRZDA, DEC. 11.—It was on the der before yes. tertlay, at about seven o'clock in the evening, that the Sub-Prefect of the arrondissement of Breda had received information fres the Mayor of. Oorter. bout of some Corsacks having appeared on -Week's dam, and at nine o'clock he received a wood "ez- I press, with intelligence that 80 CT I ZA hid A rn ready Mived at Werkeoda, and 4114111 i piquet or tausirses end gene d'arafee. t -r • At three o'clock in the aftereireet; qfldi/111015 appeared before the Bosse Gate of this:44ol,V, make a reconnoissance, and came so near, 4,4 several I musket and pistol-shots were exchanged. The whole garrison of this place, consisting 6f 800 men, both coast artillery and minas, and other troops, were immediately in motion, and a field-piece was planted over the gate. When it began to grow dark, the Cossacks made a movement towards the Gennick Gate, which threw the garrison ii4o such.dreed and confusion, that Ge. neral Ambert, .who had some days before been . ap pointed Governor of Breda, fearing that hisvetreat aught be cat .off, determined on quitting the city, and actually commenced doing so, at about three o'clock in the plaguing. . . • The Sub-Prefect having given notice to elle Acting Mayor of this evacuation, the latter immediately con sidered on giving the necessary orders for Pieserving the tranquillity of the city during theevacuatioh; and at half past seven o'clock yesteiday evening sammoited all the principal inhabitants to assemble at the Lower House. In a small space of time ,upwards of 200 Gentlemen bad assembled, who immediately farmed patrol*, to go through the city. At nineo'clock, eight Cossacks with an OffMtf• "- peered before the Boss Gate, who remained w*ftg there until the Mayo/ came to fetch, them in. The Offscerilien wrote aArdter to . s herd Stair, Wei. mending the Imperial ianselan easeprard, its whkilt he inferable; Mm,- *take might immediately cols 10' Breda, where he would be joyfully lesiva by tiMII' Burghers, after Which the Officer rode alone mit of the Antwerp Gate,- where he had pooled* Gaut', to retaken reeerawelenuiee, half way as far ailitisherg.

Orange Bowen!" &c. At half-past ten o'clock we saw 1500- more Cos sacks enter the town, and every one was now per fectlyconvinced that n o enemy would dare to approach us again, the reliance on General Steal, who kept exceeding good discipline, being general. Thus did Breda, one of the most principal for tresses for the defehce of Holland against France, see herself released, ,without the least bloodshed, from the tyranny under which it has groaned f0r.19 years past, and her brave burghers look with impa tience for the asoment in which the lawful Lord and Baron shall issue his (Inlets for the purpose of bar. ing every thing transacted on a regular footing, and our former happiness, and old times again- re-appear in this part of our native country. the . awning, reason te,bdialat that Antwerp ardeie beak Derttredit *tram, that Ilirtain pace had wetted theta that 'ads4d the CossatkelsidlieP t idt, tal within &laxity.

The anticipated event with respect to Ant*erp and its shipping, will be a very ;eassiderable feature is the countenance of the coati- Dental war, which we think is , really verging towards a close. The Emperor of AUSTRIA. and the Prince of Murree must be peculiarly, though differently, affected in this nice part of the present hostility, which, es it proceeds, awakens individual anxiety in the !wend powers in the coalition, and conse. rineistly dimieishes that seal and energy, which have curled all of them on by an unanimous impulse so far. A very extraordinary state of things has super vened in the political warfare with some of our co temporaries. These latter have become the adver saries at the Allies, and it falls to our share to defend them* from their illogical wordy attached.— While we are doing this, however, it may be seem eery to particularise the Courier, as more especially aimed at by us ; for we muse he caeslid enough to say, that some of the hitherto 'kac-faction have abandoned their associates, now honestly con fessing that peace K desirable, aedstill wave, that it is attainable, though the interested Couriii•still bel lows out that " peace with BONAPARTE is impractica ble." But this, pert didactic Jaern.al, firs doubt ing the authenticity of the Declaration of the Allies, dated from Frankfort, next asks its Readers, how they shall explain the inconsistency of the above State Paper with the one published by the Emperor of AUSTRIA at the rupture of the Armistice ? Now, the' the quere is put by the Courier to its Readers, yet it is presumptuous enough to believe it can answer it better than all those together who pe ruse its columns, otherwise, if the writer were mo dest, it might expect to be told that circumstances reconcile at once that seeming inconsistency. Bo- NAMITI, or any other Chief which might have happened to be at the head of France, could, very consistently, wish for peace at the end of a campaign, which he had no desire to negotiate for at its com mencement. But this insolent oracle of the most vicious of all war.factions that ever cprsed this country, is consistent in itself, so far as to say downright,— " Upon our principles it will be seen, that we are for an open declaration on the part of the Allies, that THEY WILL MASI SO MCI NM NOPIAPARTE 0 rare policy I But why not this magmas Apollo add, " until the bait of the House of BOURSON is re-instated , on the throne of France.“ •"7"1 fence ~roa-1 • have Toads - its sense : for bow long otherwise were the Allies to war, and where were they to stop ? We are not apt to ascribe baser motives than the real ones to any political de pravity, but we de thinb f from the general tenlur of this bloated writer's sentiments, that he has had the honour of emit* an omelet souiftet with the Maitre d' Hotel of Louis XVIII. or at lead played at do mino with the groom of the chambers, of the Duke D'Artuotmessz. We can easily Imagine the amount of the terror I with which the Courier must be struck at the bare apprehension of the loss of (ride he would sustain, were every honest trade reviied among us; and I which would be the consequoie of. returning peace ! A Courier profits by war—iby -good news—by bad ,news—by falsehoods, as mutt% as by facts—in short, I a Courier would have little - to do in peace. But what must our Ministers titink.aad feel on the utter ing of such diabolical sentiments as we Dow impugn As far as they may be thought to • touptenance those sentiments, they will.. be more thee despised ; they will be hated too.
