FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH RIPER S. (Fr - ;the Monitrur of Friday.) Partis, Auutrst . h e Duke of 'Orleans end the Duke of Nemours have set nut to-night, at lialf-pa , t eleven o'clock, for the army of which Matshol Gerard is to take the comntswd in eldef. The Duke of Orleans will command origade of Hussars, and the Duke of Nemotto.s tli",-; first regiment of Lancers. The friends of t-ls(r 'e'nergctic and generous po licy of the Government r...'ust a pplaud the determination ;1 , : has taken immediately to send Marshal Gerard to Bel gium at the head of an army. This mramare is only the consequence of the recognit►on of the new kingdom of Belgium which has been obtained, and mast be defended by France : it is the application of the prim:oes laid down in diplomatic conventions, signed by the Five C;reat Powers ; and the entraffee of our soldiers into the Belgic territory will be the most solemn conse. cr.ition of the union of those Powers, and a proof 'f the true part which France henceforward acts e❑ the Continent. Far from hzing a signal to ext4tt alarm for the tranquillity of Europe, this war is, ill some tnea- sure, a new pledge of peace ;it is stined to prove to Fiance, on the one hand, that the disposition of the Powers are of such a nature as to dispel the vain attempts with which some would inspire it; and, on the othei hand-, that a country which can put an army in march in twenty four hours, may be assured of the preservation of its ho nour, its dignity, and its independence. (From the Messager des Okambres, dated Aug. `6.) PARIS, AUG. 5.—A telegraphic despatch, sent yester day to Brussels, gives orders to Gent' at Belliard imme diately to notify to General Chs.stre, commanding the cita del of Antwerp, that the King of the French takes under his protection all the property, public and privates. of 'the city, and that he renders him responsiit* hr all the damage that he may cause there. It is thought that the declaration will suffice to hinder General Chasse recom-• niencing this time the mlious humhardment whir!: nom: GO oaths ago so justly excited the indignation of all Europe. "The Charge d'Affaires of Francs at She Hague has de clared to the King of Holland, that the King of the French, conformable with the treaties signed by all the Iknvers, was piing to cause the independence of Belgium~; to be re spected. As the Belgian array is, perhaps, not yet in a condition to keep the field against 40,000 men of the King of Holland, it is possible that the Belgic troops may tall back on the French army, rather than expose themselves in an important action before the arrival. of our columns, which will not make themselves waited for. The English journals that we have last received do net say where Admiral Cotltington's fleet is, but every thing indicates that we shall soon hear of it in the stheldt. If Leopold has called for the assistance of the kin g of the French, he cannot have neglected to Ask for aid from his Britannic 11f.alesty, and there is no doubt that the English force Ail , . he directed to ..kntrerp.—Journal du Cow.,lme. (From the National.) Hitherto the Ministry had not clearly expressed itself resrecting the situation in which the protocols of London bare placed 13e1gium with respect to the great Powers. The fact is, that acco . rding to the terms of the protocols, this new state, as well as its Sovereign, are not to be re ,:ognized by Russia, Austria, and Premia, till after the King of Holland shall have accepted the eighteen articles of the Conference, which will serve as preliminaries to a treaty of peace between Belgium and Holland. The eighteen articles not being accepted by the King of Holland, Belgium by the very fact is no4et recognized by those three Powers. The Ambassador of Austria 'ad the Minister of Prus sia met this afternoon, at fetar o'clock, at the residence of the Russian Ambassador, Count Pozzo di Borgo, rz.tder to deliberate on the trAtrance of the French trecp into Be!- gium, and to agues on the conduct they have to adopt on this occasion. It is affirmed that the English Ambassador was present at this meeting, some result of which we shall un".ouhtedly soon be acquainted with. (From the Journal des Debuts of Friday.) This evening, at nine o'clock, a tetegtaphie despatch announces that the first engagement was fought between the Belgian and the Dutch troops in the neighbourhood of Ghent. Every body has received with joy the powerful eatern , tl manifestation of France with respect to Belgium. This is an answer to those who accused the Government to wish for peace at any price. Faithful to the engagements taken in London, France %s ill protect the neutrality she has sanctioned by her in fluence. Marshal Gerard left last evening, at five o'clock, to re pair to his post. The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours. have also set out for the army. The Regiment of Hussars of Chartres received orders to be ready to depart this morning. The soldiers embraced each other, crying, " Vire la France !" "Mc fe Roi !" In the course of 48 hours the army shall have crossed the frontier. Belgium shall be free, and France powerful and respected. (From the Alttional of Friday.) We have reason to suppose that the latest tams from Poland, which must be of a sinister kind, from the secrecy with which it is kept, must have influenced the determi nation so rapidly taken to send an army on the receipt of a letter from Leopold this morning at five o'clock, at the Palaia Royal. (From the Journal du Commerce of S iturday.) On Thursday evenining M. Sebastiani convoked, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a meeting of the Am bassadors from England, Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and after acquainting them with the determination taken by the French Government to send an army into Belgium to assist Leopold, he protested to them that the sole ob ject of his Government was to drive back the Dutch army on its own territory, and that once this object shall 'Oe ac complished, the French army will immediately retire into France, without occupying any of the, Ilelgie etrong places. We have those details from ft SOttresz that leaves no doubt as to their accuracy. We arc informed that the Government has received the intelligence of our troops having entered Mont and Charleroi amid the acclamations of the Belgic population. (From the Journal des Debate of Saturday.) War has been declared. Our hoops are departing in the highest spirits. Is it to be a universal war, or a mere war with Holland ? That question shall be decided. Should Prussia support Holland, war will be general-if not, it is a mad attempt of the King of Holland, anti peace is more secure than ever. It will be seen that the Kings are not anxious for war, and that it is hereafter almost im possible-since armies in a campaign do not even decide it, since amid all those violent passions which portend an ex plosion at every moment, a spark has fallen, and falls with out danger. We ate aware of the existence of a party in t erlin fa vourable to war. That party surrounds the King, and in some degree masters him; his Court, his very family be long to that party. It is the party of the Princes. Will the King of Prussia resist .that Propaganda? Many think he will. It is then in Berlin that !the question of nnivetsal war will be decided. France, in marching to rosist Belgium against Holland, merely supports the independence of a State she has created, and continues to it her protection. We do not commence the universal war ; we leare that re sponsibility to ethers ; we only aid our Allies, decided to await the event, whatever it be, with arms in our hands.

The accounts R - ott". all parts of Belgium announce that the inhabit:al-Its raise an unanimous cry of " Death to the Outtill." All Belgium seems to be electrified, as in the glorious days of September. It has re , ..-tnitted that mighty energy which made it trim - n.O so gloriously, and assures it a still greater triuriph. - General nelliardand Mr. Abercrombie have come to Antterp and opened a correspondence with the citadel, the result of which we do not know , As the Chief Powers of the Carman Confederation, Prussia, Austria, and England (for Hanover), have en gaged to keep Luxembourg in Oulu quo, our Government has been able without danger to recal part of the troops stationed at that province.

We do not ask assistance against an enemy whom we can combat, but against those who. st:ttire flom our attacks, may crush us without Ask—this is the only intervention that we as!: car, and that is worthy of us. rwegr, AtjOusT 4, THREE, r.m.—Never did hordes of banditti commit such horrors as the Dutch troops. All the villages that can be seen from this port ' on the right hink of the Scheldt are in flames; the fleet continues to fire balls and bombs. Indignation is painted on every countenance. S-seral Inflate of the line have been attacked, but the barbarians have been tepulstd. Every thing is preparing fur a just and terrible vengeance. "Death to the Dutch!" is the general cry. Everybody here is animated with the best spirit. The gunners are at the 48-pounders in Fort du Nord, prepared to crush the Dutch fleet, should it approach. All the avenues towards the Scheldt and the citadel are being barricaded. I have just been looking at the fire; one cannot help shedding tears. In this dry weather whole villages Were consumed in a quarter of an hoar. May Providence give strength and union to Ilelgiutn, and may our armies be victorious P. S. It is reported that 20,000 Prussians at least have been incorporated in the Dutch army. Antwerp presents a most striking and animated spectacle ; almost all the streets are unpaved, barricadra as high as a man, de fended by deep ditches, are raised by the inhabitants, whose enthusiasm is boundless. They are excited by what they hear of the atrocities of the enemy, and by the sight of a dreadful conflagration, which consumes all the farms and villages on the banks of the Scheldt ; eight hundred sick have been removed from the hospitals, and sent to Louvain. The Dutch men of war have been exchanging signals all the morning ; the fl'et looks like an immense forest ; at five o'clock a frigate seemed preparing to sail up the river, but did not execute this design. Officers of the Navy say, that the ships cannot ascend the river before three o'clock in the morning. P.S.—Six Prussians, wearing the Dutch uniform, have just deserted, and entered Antwerp. They declare that a great number of their countrymen are enlisted in the Dutch regiments. POSTSCRIPT. (From the Moniteur Beige.) ANTWit, AUG. S.—HALF•FAST Two IN THE MORN ING.—AII is tranquil.

S. G. tacit convention may exist from eleven o'clock to-night to to-morrow morning. It is generally considered necessary for General Chasse to summon the city to surrender, before he ought to bom bard it t but as I have been told, the garrison of the ci tadel; nnt exCeeding t,666 !nen; will prevent him from hating a conflict*ith A ()estierate poptilation. And besides, Mitch 0014 and king thirst of vengeance will Il4d the i-lollanders to burn Antwerp, even against all tile laces of war. The neutrality of the city has enabled General Baron Chasse to diiect his attack this day against the forts which the Belgians erected on the other side of the citadel, for the purpose of incommoding it in case a bombardment of the city took place. During a part of tt c day, and during the whole of the evening up tpthis hour (twelve at night,) the cannons of the citadel, and of the cannoniers in the river, bee been directtil againft those forts, with what succOrs (with the exception of Nos. 4 and 3) I have not learned: Thb cannonading rectos now to haire ceased; which; as the night is dark; leads toe to suppose that the destruction of th's': forts has hot bceii effected. About four miles from the great basis, down the river, and beyond the range- of the Belgian forts, called Du Nord, there are to he seen the masts of a great number of vessels; which are called the Dutch fleet, and which are to nome tip td assist in destroying this town. Their number is very considerable—even so nian , as thirty; of various rateS. Some fearftil people; who imagined last night, at high water, there vessels would attempt to pass the Belgic forts, and that, consequently, there would arise a conflict that might lead General Chasse to commence the work of destruction, have to-night been employed in forming di-. milar conjectures. But, independent of the dangers aris ing from the tielgirn batteries; there is, as I have heard, nd instance of any merchant ship, even under the care of the most eatperienced pilot; attempting to pass up through the Sand banks and shoals of the Scheldt. One mistake oil the part of a single vessel may expose the ilea to the utmost danger. The probability of an attempt this night is, therefore, not very great. The line of Belgian batteries lying down the river is, at the nearest point; about a quarter of a league from the eit,del, being near the great basin or dock of the city. The first fort, called " the Imperial," has six pieces of 48, and tato hcatitters. Bentsth this fort, and on a level with the water, is another, having eight pieces of 12. The remainder of the line of fortresses, the principal of which are the Catten Dike and the Fort du Nord, con tain about 120 guns of . various calilsre-12, 21, 36, and IS. in the Fort dim fiord alone there are two ;furnaces for reddening the balls ; and, as I understand, some expe rienced sailors are engaged, in order to do effectual injury to the ships. The Civic Guard of Brussels, to the num ber of 600, hive the care of those fort. They are,re katded as most decided enemies of King William: This evening 800 pr ictiseii artilierythen are stated to have ens tered those forts as an additional force. The Dutch, beside the forts at the Tete de Flandre, immediately opposite to this city, have a line of fortresses extending in the direction of Lao, and about 200 guns of vatious dimensions, principally of heavy metal. The garrison of this consists of several regiments of in- fantry, and to my surprise I have even seen Chasseurs in in it. Reinforcements are hourly arriving, principally vo lunteers. .Namur, which is a considerable distance, has already sent ROO, and Luxemburg has sent many more. The civil Governor of the town, Charles Itogiet, who is himself an active member of the civic guard, supplies all applicants with guns and ammunition. The streets and passages opening on the quays along the river are all har t:Waded; as well as those leading to the Esplanade before the citadel ; and sentinels are stationed at each barricade to prevent all attack from and on the Dutch. The spirit of the far greater part of the inhabitants is adverse to Holland, whom they execrate now as the cause of all their misfortunes t and should an endeavour be made to enter the town by a part of the Dutch army, there is no doubt of their being tut to pieces. Numbers of volunteers arc now sleeping in the streets with their muskets beside them. The Belgians complain of, and seem to place but little confidence in most of the general officers now at their head. They eulogise the conduct of the King as beyond all praise; but they say he cannot do every thing. How. ever, as they have to fight against the Dutch, who carry on the war here as they formerly did in the colonies, by devastation, by fire, and sword, they do not doubt of be ing ultimately successful. It is thought that guerilla war fare will, like the barricades, drive the invaders from the country ; for the Dutch seem tacitly to admit that they cannot compete with the blouse men except in the neigh bourheod of fortressea, or on board their ships. There is, however, a party here which almost openly advocates the necessity of surrendering the town, and which has already begun to speak of scarcity of provisions, famine, soc. Many of them are persons who would con sent to any political sacrifice in order to save their property. If the work of pillage be again begun, those persons will undoubtedly suffer, for through their efforts rumours most disadvantageous to the Belgians are circu lated. Aware of this fact, the civil Governor to-di,y, published a notice to caution the people from giving credit to those rumours. Individuals, also, of the Civic Guard of Antwerp do not exhibit a strong wish to occupy the posts of danger. A notice has been given by the Dutch naval comman der to the different Consuls in the city, to have the ships of their nations removed from the basin ; it is now nearly empty. I walked by it this evening, and saw a solitary saiior, with a musket, pacing up and down, while he guarded two fire-engine boats which lay beside the quay, and which it was feared would be requisite within a short time. Among the p re ventivearrangements of the householders, I remarked that the doors and windows of the cellars opening into the streets, were all covered with litter ; and upon inquiry, I learnt that great apprehensions were en tertained lest some of the bombs, on their rebounding on the pavement, might fall into the cellars, and afterwards destroy the houses around. Orders have been issued by the Governor of the town, that the inhabitants should not only prepare to repel the enemy from entering the streets, but also to provide their houses with as much water as they can place in the upper stories. The G ov e t r o n otrir,eC. magistratesß iigier, on o f Thursday, Turnhout, addressed ialin a proclama tion es a ;l Lierre, recommending them to prepare the best defence for their country, to take care specially of the wounded soldiers, and distressed inhabitants, and as this city is particul tray exposed to the horrors of fire, he recommends the sending to it all the firemen who can be spared from those towns. The alarm of the inhabitants was on Wednesday and Thursday raised to the highest pitch, on seeing the flames and smoke arising from the farms to which the Dutch set fire in Calloo and its neighbourhood. The plans of the Dutch Government, as gathered from te t and appear , ve n to oo r tea nn a dd p t or theno take 1a t - n h a e ti i 0 o n rg o a f n the he Antwerp, Prince s , o 9 f e G r oh o re ran, nt Ghent, possession o dictate peace to Belgium. Their exhortations have been fruitless hitherto in Flanders, and near Ghent they have no chance of success except by their usual mode of burning the houses and deluging the country. The peasantry are of course infuriated b-yond description ; the harvest already partly collected in the barns they burn, and the remainder the Dutch seek to destroy by inundation. None can wonder then to find that no remarkable impression has hitherto been produced in Flanders. Antwerp cannot be taken except in ruins. From Venloo there is no intelligence here. The com munication of newspapers and letters, which used to be kept up with with [lnland by way of Ger‘tnany, has been stopped for two days ; and the road to Ghent b ing partly in the hands of the Dutch, the lost to that city, and of course to Ostend and England, by order of the director of that establishment, is to go through Brussels, which occa sions a delay of 24 hours. The proclamation of the Prince of Orange, as Commander-in-Chief of the Dutch army, has been described as stating that he does not invade Bel gium, for any other purpose than to obtain a just and equitable peace for Holland. If such be the principles he sets out upoa in this war of destruction, be shows more folly than he has hitherto been supposed capable of, for he can only hope for peace for Holland through the ami cable intervention of the great Powers, as proposed last week to the King of Belgium and to his father, but which tire latter has refused. The Belgians will now become more united than ever, anti they expect not only to drive the Dutch from Flanders, but even from Maestricht and North Brabant. The Dutch army invading the province of Antwerp is said to be 30,000 strong, one-third being Prussian troops. They are described as concentrating at Westmael, in the direction of Herenthals, two-and-a-half leagues from Ma lines, in order to attack that city. The Belgians hope to cut them off; but at eight o'clock in the evening there was a report here that fiereathals was in their possession. Two spies were taken yesterday in the riress of the sth in fantry. The head-quarters of the Prince of Orange are reported to continue at Capefle, within a few leagues of this city. Those of General Ticken de Terhow, the Commander of the Belgian army in this province, are about two leagues and a half from this city, on the road to Turnhout.

The Dutch soldiers are, however, proverbially fearful of ambuscades, and of the Ingic Civic Guard ; they will not hazard theni , cives near woods or ditches in the country, nor advance to the bar- ricades in the towns. King Leopold spent all Thursday night in this city, de liberating with his Ministers ; and Generals MM. Lebean, C: de Brouckere, and General D'Hane, accompanied his liajesty from Brussels hither. At half-past three o'clock in the morning his Majesty, necotnpatiied by an aide-de camp, Went on foot from the Palace to the Cathedral, where he ascended the spite, and surveyed the citadel, tl e fleet, and the country around this city, which is beautifully cultivated, and where many farm-houses were still smoking in ruins. His Majesty looked pale and thought ful, and stooped considerably, as an obserrer who then met him, has since told me. At eight o'clock his Majesty milt to Malines, where he remained for some hours. At half past seven o'clock this evening be came on horseback, at tcrled by three of his statT, to the Malines-gate, and hav ing had tome communication, returnedt it was mid, to spend the night at the country house of M. Mossehatan, on the distant tide of Percheni and about two English miles ' froth the gate of this city. M. de Brouckere and General D'Hane proceeded to Brussels. M . Lebeau remains, I be __. lieve, near the King. The number of regular hoops now in this city, exelo site of the Civic Girard, is stated ti be 4,000 infantry, a squadron Of Chassetirs, 160 men, and two companies of artillery; 220 men. The number of regular troops in the province within three leagues is estimated at 10,000, SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. 6, NINE O'CLOCI.. The firing last night, and some this morning, originated in a sorter made by the Dutch to obtain possession of the batteries nt ar St. Laurent. The Belgian cannoniers ran away on seeing their opponents make an attack ; but some of the B igiart officers rallied their troops, and on their making an advance, the Mitch retired in confusion. Great complaints are made of the want of courage exhie bi'ed by a portion of the Civic Guard of Antwerp, which seems to shun all danger, and to wish to rest at home in quiet. The avast of food, of which compliint is affectedly made, cannot be true; for I saw the markets open this morning, and numbers of country people selling vegetabli•e, eggs, bread, &c. General Bernard arrived here this morning at half-past two o'clock, and having at four sent a notice to tl.e Go vernor of the citadel, was received at five by G. nt rat Clais-e, with reborn he remained nearly two hours. On his return into the city he had a conference with Colonel Tabor, the ntilitary governs rof Antwerp, It is ►upposed that General Mihail has brought to the commander of the citadel, the answer of the conference, and that this city has been placed tinder the protection of the Five Powers. The following it a copy of the proclamation addressed by the Prince of Orange to the inhabitants of the pro vinces where the troops of his Majesty the King of the Low Countries have penetrated : " Having, at the head of the national army, entered upon your aoh, I wish to explain satisfactorily to the peaceable inhabitants of there districts the intentions which preside over this act of hostility. The army and its chief are not animated either by the spirit of conquett or by that of vengeance; on the contrary, the sole object of the determination of my King and father, on sending me into those provinces, is to obtain just and equitable conditions between the provinces that have remained faithful to him, and those which have withdrawn themselves from his Go vernment. "We do not make war but to obtain within the shortest period possible a true peace between us. " I therefore assure to the peaceful inhabitants of the soil which I have just entered upon protection and secu rity, as well as support to all these who are well intentioned. " If some partial disorders, often inevitable in the midst of a numerous army, shall take place, the complaints brought against them in this respect by the inhabitants will be attended to by the military chiefs, and the facts being proved, they shall be punished with ail the rigour of the laws. (Signed) " The Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Low Countries, " WILHELII, Prince of Orange. " Head-quarters, Aug. 2. " To MM., Members of the Government of the town of Turnhout." The news of this morning is not favourable to the Bel eians, for the Dutch are positively stated to be still at Turnhout, and General Nichol], who endeavoured to resist their aggression, has been obliged to retreat to Sandhoven. Some troops belonging to the Prince of Orange continue still near Capelle. The Prince of Orange and the Duke of Saxe-Weimar are stated to be at the head of the army at Herenthals, which is now moving towards Diest. It was affirmed that a portion of this army was surrounded, hut it is not generally believes!. Some of the Dutch cannoniers and a steam boat have moved up the Scheldt from Antwerp, and having taken four or five Belgian plying boats, sailed down the river again. It is feared that they will attempt landing soon on the banks of the Scheldt, near Dindermonde, which dis trict has been neglected. MALINES, SATURDAY NOON. The King arrived here at nine o'clock last night on his return from Antwerp ; he is in very good health, and has somewhat recovered from his fatigues. He is himself Commander-in-Chief of all the armies, and his head quarters are stationed at Malines : his activity is very great. He was dressed and transacting business at four o'clock this morning. The crowds on the road from Antwerp to this city do not hear a resemblance to those of yesterday. It was a continued stream of refugees. To-day the women and children are in groups, at itioned in different places. Their affrighted appearance, awl their inability to procure any succour from themselves, are calculated to excite pity. Several regiments are proceeding towards Antwerp, and preparations are making to defend the bridge at. Walhem. There is a strong body of the Civic Guard stationed there, who are cutting trenches on both sides of the bridge. They have eight field-pieces. The approach of the Dutch from Lierre was apprehended. The bustle of this town is very great, on account of ti e presence of thousands of strangers from Antwerp and its neighbourhood ; and also from this city being now head quarters. The news is circulated that 50,000 Frenchmen are coming to assist Leopold against the Dutch. This fact does not afford much satisfaction to many of his sub jects ; for the soldiers and Civic Guards are not afraid to meet the Dutch single handed. If the Prussians come openly to aid the King of Holland, the presence of the French may be necessary, but the Belgians now fear them as friends as well as enemies. " The French," as they say, " will come easily, but it will not be easy to get rid of them." BRUSSELS, SATURDAY, THREE O'CLOCK. The road from Malines to this city was this day literally crowded with civic guards, all hastening in the highest spirits to the armies. The young men of this city on quitting home for a first campaign had necessarily many affecting adieus to make; but all has yielded to the love of independence, and to the strong wish expressed by all to repel the invaders of their country. The walls of this city are covered with placards of the General of the civic guards inviting them to join his standard. They have flocked around it from ail parts of the country. The number which left Brussels this morning is 4,000, under the command of General Van Conkelberg. The newspapers are loud in their invocations to the Bel gians to arm en masse, and men eager for fighting spring forward in every quarter. Within the last two days, 20,000 guns have been furnished to volunteers alone. Several citizens of Brussels have proposed a weekly sub scription of small sums for the support of the widows and children of those who may fall in battle. The King, before his departure for the army, has ex pressed a wish for the sanction of the Legislature to a law to establish a new military order. From Ghent news has been received, that on the 4th there was considerable fighting in the neighbourhood of that city. On the sth they attempted to curly the posts of Haregras and Houcke, but were repulsed. A spy in formed the Burgomaster of Maldeghem that the Dutch expect 800 sailors; and lie fears that that post will be at tacked again to-day. From Assenede the Dutch were twice forced to retire. Several cannon have been sent to Bassevelde. The people in the provinces of Flanders are resolved to defend their territory against the invaders, who have as yet made no progress there. The enthusiasm of the province of Liege, excited by the proclamations of the King and of the Governor, &C. has already produced 2,000 Civic Guards. More are expected from Herve and Verviers. 15,000 Dutch have planted ten pieces of artillery on the frontiers, near Weerdt, to within two leagues of Venloo. The garrison of Maestricht made a sortie on the 4th, but were driven back by a de tachment under Majors Zantis and Baron. The attempt of the Du tch army to penetrate into the centre of Belgium, either to Malines or Louvain, bad, it is said, implicated it in difficulties out of which it will not escape with ease. They intended first to take Turnhout and Venloo, and then Arschot and Meet. p 0 i l d t a i n s d e x t i p ,e e e i t , e r d i n t c h e a o t faogreannegr:le willg e ngagement e p n i a t e be e tsvee nLo about Mon daye or Tuesday next. The following is the letter of General Chasse, in answer to that sent to hint on Tuesday by the Minister for Foreign Affairs : " Cita , l,l of Antwerp, Aug. 4 " The General of Infantry, Baron Chasse, Superior Commandant of the Citadel of Antwerp, has the honour to reply to M. de Meulenaere, that it is iu compliance with the (mitts of his Majesty the King of the Low Countries, I that he has notified to the superior Commandant of the city and suburbs of Antwerp, the recommencement of b 0: tilities, of which the cessation of the convention of the of November is but the necessary result. I beg M. de Mettlenaere to accept the assurances my highest consideration. (Signed, &e.) " Baron CHASSE." This note is remarkable, as it strictly avoids all recor nition of the titles and tank of the Belgian Alinister. sit o'f2Locg. The request for the assistance of the French arinYt. ° I have been informed, is the consequence of its being or contestably proved by the prisoners taken among th e , Dutch be u.; Germans and Prussians. Leopold is, ho°' I ever, resolved to try his own strength at first, and if h e cannot beat the PrussoAlolland army, to bring the French forward. I have heard that they are not to be received into Belgium until further notice. A Dutch corps is stationed at Diest, where it is forts' fying its position ; but General Thine is marching on it' flank and r'ar. The Civic Guards of Louvaine, Tirlr mont, Leo, and Arschot, are in fr , :nt of the enemy. 6e ' neral Daine and his army is stated to be at Maelen, ° Pe league from Diest, and that a junction has been effect,d between the Belgian armies of tie Scheldt and Meuse. SEVEN O'CI,00:: Tie Prince of Orange is said bo be caught in M e e and its n,tighlrourhwid, at tfiehead of 7,000 men. It rumoured that he has compelled die inhabitants to ho ly cade the streets of the town. General Belliard arrived this afternoon at head-quarte r ' l when it was officially stated that an armistice, until f'. 0. : 1 ther orders, has been conclude!' between the citadel an the city of Antwerp, and which armistice is confined 0 1 ' 11 to those places. EXPRESS FROM BRUSSELS. (From the Times.) ANTWERP, AUG. 5, ruibmr The position of this celebrated city b-ing critical at this moment, and the reports in cirettlation so confused end contradictory, 1 determind to make use of an oppor tunity in order to visit it, and on the spot to make obser vations. On the road from Brusee's to M diners, I saw but a few soldiers belonging to different regiments, who were hastening on towards the theatre of battles. At Malines great bustle existed, and anxiety prevailed te speuting the state of this city. His Majesty Leopold I. bad arrived from Antwerp, in Malines, at half past ten o'clock. The appearance of the road from Melints was calcu lated to excite the most painful feelings. Thousands of women and children, of all ages ) mingled with old and decrepid then, werb btirryilig away from their homes and destruction. Vehicles of every description, even the heavy low brewer's drays, were loaded with the unfortunate people. 'Mothers were there soothing and carrying children of five and six years old ) who cried out from weariness end pain, end many stnall mils were dr:twn by boy's and girls, in tehich the feeble and infants tere huddled together, some of them asleep. Alarm and consternation were evi dent in every group of the long chain of those beings ; at one period there was a break, which I found was occa sioned by a heavy shower, for the mass of the poor creeteree hat! no uOtward dtesa to piaiseeee them from its effects, and were obliged to shelter for a time in the houses or under the trees by the road side. At the Malines gate into Antwerp the same crowd was to be seen issuing; there was some difficulty to procure admission. The cannon was heard hand, for there was a conetict between the citadel and the outward forts erected to awe it by the Belgians. The Dutch troops, to th e number of about 200, had about eleven o clock made a sortie on the Belgian line of forts, and having driven their opponents out of Nos. 4 and 5, spiked six or eight guns, and then retired into the citadel, leaving behind them se veral killed and wounded, and having taken prisoners the best artillery officers in the Belgian service. The sol diers who were present at this affair state, that having wit nessed the barbarity of the Dutch, who massacred in cold blood an officer tcho became their prisoner, they fired no less than twelve balls Into the head of a Dutch officer who fell iftto their power. An attempt was made to carry into town the wounded, among whom were some Dutch sol diers ; but the cries of the people were, " Put them to death." They were, however, conveyed to the hospital. On entering into the city, I found the miserable rem nant of its inhabitants chiefly outside their doors, looking in doubt and (I, spair. There tee, re many women, net one of whom exhibited the usual wish for works of female in dustry. The shops were closed. Crowds of soldiers and of the Civic Guard were scattered through the streets. General Belliard, whom I met on his return about a league from Brussels, arrived yesterday in this city, and had an interview with General Chasse, and has since stated to several persons that Antwerp cannot now be in jured. The lower classes of the inhabitants believe that he told the Commandant of the citadel that he was not to bombard Antwerp, for the English fleet would fire as many bombs into Rotterdatn. They are anxiously look ing out for the English fleet, which, as they expect, is to remove from them the horrors of their Dutch enemy. One of them told me near the basin that the Dutch tleet had stopped two English vessels which were yesterday leaving the Scheldt. King Leopold, although ill, arrived here yesterday from Brussels at half-past four o'clock. His presence contributed very much to rouse the desponding people. They followed his carriage, and cheered hint loudly as he entered the Palace. It was but this day week I saw this city decorated with splendour and rejoicing, because Leopold had come to it as a bridegroom King; now it was in wretchedness and afflic tion, and Leopold came to aid and console it. His Majesty has frequently declared his sympathy with the people, and his hopes that England and her Allies will succour them in the hour of danger. Shortly after his arrival, his Majesty commissioned Air. Ellerman, the Hanoverian Consul, a genfeman liked and respected in this city, to proceed to the citadel, and to have a communication with the Commandant. M. Eller , man, who on former occasions was well acquainted with Baron Chasse, undertook the commission, and o btained an interview about seven o'clock , when lie explained to the General the decision of the Conference to take Antwerp wholly under its protection. General Chasse said that from old acquaintance with the merchants of Antwerp, he deplored the fatal necessity which should impose on him as a duty the destruction of so fine a city, but obedience to his Sovereign's orders would require him to his duty. Of the fact of the city being under the protection of the Conference he was not aware, but would instantly despatch a steam-boat to Rotterdam to learn the decision of his master. Mr. Ellerrnan begged the General to pledge his honour not to bombard the town until the decision as to that fact was kno . a n. General Chasse, after considerable hesitation, said that hp would not pledge himself to any course other than that of obedience to his orders, but he would nevertheless as• sure his friend, Mr. Ellerman, that he would not fire on the town within twenty-four hours, or perhaps forty-eight hours unless provoked thereto by an attack from the city, and that (luring that interval lie would not throw bombs into it, unless they were thrown first into the citadel. The information of this tacit convention was conveyed to Leopold, who expressed his satisfaction, and issued the strictest orders to prevent any aggression on the part of the citizens. A steam-boat was, as I understand, despatched from the city to Rotterdam, in order to obtain instructions • from the Hague. This voyage will, it has been calculated require at least twenty-tight hours to and fro, so that the COURT CIRCULAR.
