The enemy have begun ietiring from Nimmegen across the Meuse to Grave, and though it is stated that MacnoNaLn had arrived at Cleves (Kleef), it is evident, from the preceding move ment, that be could 'not' have brought with him any . thing like an overwhelming force.— Antwerp has certainlybeen approached, if not in vested, by the Allies, and we hear of nothing but the passage of troops in.every direction to wards Brabant.
