DUTCH PAPERS. P - XII OFFICIAL ACC TINT OF - rim AGAINST AN'T'WERP. FROM THE. STAATS COUR;ktiT OF'THE I GTR INST. Breda, Janu'ary 14. 'Early in the morning.of the 12th, General Von low advanced towards Brascaat, and, with the column of General Tuben, drove back the ene my's advanced posts,- which . were intrenched In the village of Merxen, upon the high road.to-Ant werp. 'At the same time the Coss#eks drove the enemy from Turnhout ; General Von Borate!' marched on St. Anthony; General Oppen on St. Job, and the English corps on Kapelle. " On the 13th, all the columns brake up .to ap proach Antwerp. . General Tuben, favourect by a manoeuvre of the English on hi right flank, car ried the intrenchments and . :?:e .- itself, in • which the French had posted 3000 men, and in which the body of their General Avis,' whO was killed in the action, - was 'found. ,Generai Oppenhad also on his side some fight ing, during which four howitzers played upon the tow s, and actually set fire 'to a building, close to which were seen the masts of ships of war. , The works are in a good state, and the strength of the garrisorl is, by deserters and the inhabitants, in creased to 12,000. 'lt may be stated, as a tioutle advantage arising from this expedition, that the French can hence forth uo longer disturb -the positions of the allied troops, and that the movements of our left wing on Turnhont, Lier, &c. and even into the heart of Brabant, have spread a terror which must be highly detrimental to the enemy's plan of de fence. The troops have, therefore, received orders to return, bringing with them 600 prisoners and one piece of cannon, taken. The head-quarters, which were yesterday at West Were!, are now again here. Some Dutch officers who accompanied this expedition, cannot sufficiently praise the courage with which the Prussians, at every opportunity, threw themselves on the enemy, and sustained the fatigues of forced marches In the most severe weather. . OTHER ACCOUNTS FROM ROTTERDAM PAPERS OF THE 197i1 :NSTANT. BREDA, JAN. 14.—The action which took place -at West Wezel, Hoogstraten, sud Turnhout, may very fairly be considered as a battle in which the enemy made trial of their new C:ouscripts, having had about twenty thousand troops of this de scription engaged, and that under tile - dime- _r ii 4 i.;s4ltlll, Da.tacu, wuu commanded for a considerable time in Spain, and to whom the command of a great part of the Bra bant and Flemish fortresses is now intrusted. He conducted 'himself with great obstinacy, but was obliged to yield to the courage of the Allies. His loss was very considerable, and greatly surpasses that on our side ; the superior skill and expe.= rience of the allied troops, the particular suitable-- Hess of the ground' for the operations of cavalry, and the flight of the enemy, which is always ne cessarily attended with loss, contributed much to this effect. Of the 1200 woulfded which have been brought into our hospital here, the greater part are French troops. Above 800 prisoners were also taken, and from 12 to 14 pieces of, cannon. His Royal Highness the Hereclithy Prince of Orange has i sec out for the Prussian bead-quarters nt Loealiout and a Prussian Officer has gone fot that place to carry Co his Royal HiglineSsthe news • of the victory. A great number of troops hare marched th rough our city to join the-Allies, who continue to follow up the advantages they have obtained. It is reported here that the enemy, who bad taken a po'sition on the Helder, near Brascaat, bad been again attacked and defeated, tl:at Ant werp was ivvested, and Brnssels threatened. GINNEKE, JAN..I3.—It is said that the French cannot get back to Antwerp, being cut off by the English on the side of Hoogstraten, and pursued by the Allies towards MeChlin and Leer. The battle of the 11th was severe. Many were killed, particularly in the wood, whence the French, who had fifty pieces of cannon, were driven. They carried oil only ten pieces, and left a great. number of dead behind them. A number of carriages with wounded pass through- here and Haagje daily. The second company of Prussian jagers made the first attack ; the whole army was immediately ii motion, and the Frenth were driven out of their position. ADVANCE OF PRINCE SCIIIVARTZENBERG. CAALSRUIfp, JAN. 10.—By accounts from the frontiers of Switzerland, we learn -that the Prince of_Selbwartzenberg arriv,ecl on the 6th at Monte belliard. Vesoul, in' Franche Compte,. on the road from Moutbelliard to Dijon; has been taken after a short resistance. From Ne#v Brisach we learn, that the Allies rho, on the 2,1, - had taktu several if tli;! villages, completely invested that fortress, anfl'also Fosrtil/Tortier oil the 4th. On the morning, of the stfi, the Rnssi - an troops pa,ssed the - Rhine at pach, dnd,appeared:to have extended, them - selves tow:tick Sctlettstadt, as the fire of cannon was -heard in that According to accounts from Dasl'e, Gen. ar - clay De Tolli broke up on the ith for Altkirch. BREMEN, JAN. 13.—The follovt ing is an' ex tract of a letter otn.the Ilead-quartFra of. Ge neral Tettenborn : • 'c IVonsilr;, nearCpldiog, .Tan. to. " After a march of three days front Toningen, we are now on the frontiers of Jutland, where we have been commanded to bait, and to suspend lids -tilities till farther orders. This promises us peace with Denmark within a few days. " Several Danish Envoys have come tore ; the last it; furnished with Mil powers' from the King to conclude peace on any conditions with the Crown Prince." Au, Adjutant, of the Crown Prince of Sweden, who' passed through ,here tti-day with dispatches. to Baron AViniitigerode, and Will) brought the above letter, ' says- that Peace was actually con eluded on the 11th ; ana according to several other accounts there is no dOolit of this feet. ARNHEIN, JAN. 10.-=--Yesteritay, in, the even ing, his Excellency L t rd Castlereagh, Mioister of his Mnje'ty the ding of England"; arrived here about six o'clock, After his. Lordship had dined, lie set out With his suite,. accompanied_ by. three cavalry soldiers, about half-past -nine at night, on his way to ifoisburgh, in order to. get more ex . peditiously to Frankfort. BANKS OF THE LOWI'.II RHINE, JAN. 19, AT 'MOUT Uar last - letter of the 18th in.stant, sent by the packet of yesterday, conveyed an account Of the affair before Antwerp, given rmder the au thOrity of General Bulow ; )lit it did n9t com prise many circumstances, nor indeed any of con seqaenee,.nOt noticed in the Papers to the /Gib inst. The latest dates from the vicinity of Ber gen-op.,ZOom tne two days ago, when no irate:. ligence had been obtained there - of any new moye- Meats on 'the part of the Allies, who remained in their position at Merxern, within one 'mile and a half of the Breda Gate of Antwerp. The force j there was estimated at 10,000 men; but io the neighbourhood, at Brc3caat Heath ; and other ad . joining places, were other trobps to about the same number. The head-quarters of General Graham are alleged to he at- - Rosendael; where. three or four thousand Brftish.troops The rest. are round Bergen-op-Zoom, And near the walls of Antwerp. Letters from Breda, date , lthe 16th inst. state, flint the bombardMent had been renewed, and that a number oiCongreve's rocketS bad been thrown into Antwerp. • " Our loss has been severe in the late engage ment, but no details from General Grahani have reached any of the Government authorities in Hol land. The wounded On the side. of the British have been sent to Williamstadt, • as well as the 200 prisoners that were taken from the enemy. " Intelligence has been obtained from Dorsten to the 12th inst. It states • that that portion of the' army of Marshal Blucher, 'which was' ander the orders of General Priest,: had successively oc cupied Bonn, Coblentz and Keulen.. The inha bitants were overjoyed at their arrival, • and trade with the opposite b an k o f th e Mine had been • commenced with rapidity. W r ezel was incloed by the Alliei : the Commander of the • French garrison +lad disarmed all the „Dutch troops, and has sent them 'by Venlo to France. The follow ing are the extracts of two private letters just re ceived by respectable individuals herc„ stating'the actual possession of Lyons bythe Allies. • fact has not yet been publicly announced `,Amsterdam, Jan. Two Gentlemen have arrived here, who left ' Frankfoit . only a few days since. They state that a portion of the division of the troops of Austria, . under dount'Bubna, had,. after - crossing - the river, actually entered Lyon s . We .h ear d :before of the Allies being near the place, but they now assure: us that they were in pOssession of this large coM mercial city.' Basle, Jan 9. 1 expect very - speedily to.be able to execute your orders respecting the goods, - tis• intelligence has been obtained to day that . the Austrians have reached Lyons, and t tade will of course be opened. I hope to hear the news confirmed by to-Morrow's post.' " We confess, that we still entertain some doubts of the truth of this. statement, As far as re lates to the actual possession of Lyons, because we know that the French were in conSiUrable force at and near that city, and it was presumed that a stand would be there made by them ; indeed only a few hours before the above letters werere ceived, a report strongly prevailed that the troops of Count Bubna, that had heeen detached Train Geneva, on the road to Lyons had been driven back with some loss by a superior number of the enemy. No dates are given either for this event, it it have occurred, or for the occupation of Lyons by the Allies, ". The renewal of the war with Denmark, as stated in the Thirty-third Bulletin o f th e - Crown Prince, will. it is supposed, detain his troops in the North longer than x4s originally expected. It is singular, however, that they should write from Bremen, on the 11th. instant, in the follow ing terms. As the Bulletin is dated on the 6th January, the day the ArmiStice was to expire, it is not impossible that the news contained it, thiS letter s s bould be true, after.the threats 1121(1 ont by the crown Prince:in that instrument. Bremen, Jan. 11 We obtain the'ricws,.,that the Arini›tice•ii, 2 •- •tween.Sireden 'and Denmark has been renewcil for fo.tir days,"thilt is to - say, until .the llth inst. I , llrl that a peace between the 'Allies and the only remaining friend of 131tOnaparic is as good as. • ", We have likewise intellig:;nce, that there have been some severe engagements between the 'Allied forces, anti the French in the neighbourhood. of Eppentlorf. The siege of lla.mburgh is to be commenced immediately, but the necessary ar tillery is not arrived. The corps of General Ben- nigsen has , made Several reconnoissanc e 's of the city, and, by. the latest dates, was at l'intieburg. The operations will begin on the side . _ of Altana, w.l:ere the works have already be e n commenced. Front Italy, we have intelligence. through Juspruck, dated_ the stil January, comprising the following important fact According to the latest accounts, .tte city of Verona was occupied by the Austrian troops, and that 10,000 Neapo litans had united themselves to the Austrians, un der General Nugent. We are likewise inforrned, that Venice has been evacuated by thc,French,'— Of course, we eannbtspledge ourselves for the au thenticity of this information, we only communi cate it in the'folin in which it has reached us.
