At mid-day also passed through h :re a vestel ledenwith shells and cannon balls for the' 'battery, but up to,this moment the bombardment - of the fortress has not been commenced, Yes terday morning the enemy fired a shot at our.

General 13alow, as we heat, has received orders to match with his whole force towardsl3tabant, to assist in the great operation on Cie Rhine. The force, exclusive of the divgieM•:4'Russian troops under Generals . Benkendorf 4fidtOrs,tel,, is at from 40 to 40,060 then.

This clay General Benkendorf was expected to fix his head-quarters in person at Breda. Tutet., Sax. 8.---The French garrison atnine guen has retreated to Grave, where it atl)resent remains. The retreat Was occasioned by the pas sage of the Rhine by General Butcher. IVe beard that there had seen an engagement between the Allies and . a body of French troops, commanded by the Duke of Tarentum, but no confirmation of the intelligence has been received, and we be lieve it not to be true. NimEGUEN, JaN.B.—Every thing here is quiet, From time to time Russian troops, both cavalry and infantry, pass over the Waal to pros, eal fur ther into the interior. Kleef is also ity:the pos session of the Allies; and we understand that they. are approaching Grave upon the Macse. TILBURG, JAN, B.—At about twelve o'clock at noon yesterday, we received information of the approach of the French, whose advanced posts were actually/hen at Goirie, only three English miles from here. Our brave garriSon immediately put itself in motion, and on this occasion we must give great praise to the Prussian troops, under the command of Captain Von Schartuzow, who (not expecting, any enemy), immediately caused the alarm to be given, and with unusual ce lerity collected together his troops, consisting of seventy men, and flew out to meet the enemy.— The Cossacks, likewise, mounted immediately, ,and followed their companions in arms. Mean while the Prussians had already driVev the French adva.zeed posts out ut Goirie, and found the French corps consisting of 600 infantry and 300 cavalry drawn up behind Weide, in order of battle, when It again came to an engagement, and the Prussians retired in good order, and without the loss of a man, towardi Poppet, where the officers, conformably to the orders of the Commandingoficer, had taken post, to decoytb e enemy into the plain. Immediately a general hurrah !. was heard, and in a moment a general engagement r ook plate the French 11"4.. valry, .Conststmg ot x lagers of the (31111T0ii, soon fell into confusion, and every one that could ' not . escape by fligLt was sabred" They were even pursued beyond Ravels, within two English miles of Turnhout, leaving a number of tilled and wounded on the field. Th.e enemy's aim was to push as far as Tilburg, destroy the magazines there, and possibly to plunder the town, but which was prevented by the laudable conduct of the trOops. The force of the Allied troops consisted of seventy prussians of the Pomera nian national regiment, four hundred Cossacks, whilst that of the. French was', as already stated, composed of 600 intantry and 300 _cavalry. At eight o'clock' in the evening the Allie.d.T.toops turned back in , triumph, bringing with them 92 fine horses which they had taken, and several pH-. Sutlers, many of them having escaped into the the woods. The loss of the Allies is very trifling compared with that of the eneiny ; it consisting of only five cossacks killed and 16 wounded ; and the Prussians, althoUgh they covered theinselves with glory, did not lose a single horse or man; and had only one wounded. The enemy's loss was 160 wounded, and prisoners. Marshal Von BLUCHER issued the following Proclaueitions. to his troops and the inhabitants of the left bank. of the Rhine, On passing that river : " FIELD-MAR 3 . 11 AL VON BLUCHER TO TAB ARMY OF SILESIA. " In advancing from the Oiler to the Rhine, you lead s to rescue from the enemy the countries which he had subjugated. You are now about to pass the. Rhine to compel to peace that enemy, whom nothing can console for having lost, in two campaigns, those conquests which cost king 19 years to acquire.

"To restore the freedom and independence of tations, and to conquer peace, I have ,conducted the army of Silesia to, the left bank of the Rhine.

The Supplement to the Gazette of Saturday, and the general details of- those gratifying events which were briefly communicated to the public in -. a Bulletin frbut the War-Office, contained in the Second Eilition of THE SUN of that day, and now re-published in a preceding column, will be perused with uncominon satisfaction by our Readers. Front the Source of the , Rhine to the shore where it flows into the Ocean, the tri umphant banners of the Allied Armies float, and, with the exception of a few insulated posts, the encniY, whose gigantic might so lately held Eat-ape iu uunuage, noes not now to of terri tory out of France. Nor is this all; even France itself has ceased to be the sacred territory it has been so vainly called. The movement of' the Allies•has been stupendously grand. From Rhem-. felden above Basle, to the Mouths of the Meuse, the Waal, and the Yssel ; the Austrian, Rt.ssian, Prussian, Swedish, and other confederated StateS, have poured into France. -From-the higher point at which the Rhine has been crossed, the line' of the Allies has been extended still further along the South East Frontiers of France by the Revo ltition in Geneva, and the, adVantage taken of this important event to, push forward and take possession of the Passes of the St. Gothard,' &c. We are told that detachments 'have been pushed even so far as Milan, thus, as, it were, almost cutting off Italy from France, and restoring hopes of independence to Savoy and Piedmont. In this quarter, too, the NVIIOI6 . partment of the Doubs has been overrun, and Be sancon, the former 'capital of Franche Comptg, invested. If, on the other hand, we -follow the course of the Rhine down from Basle, we find that another corps of the Grand Army, which crossed there, had proceeded northward to Colmar, be sieging nuningen-and Befort, and pushing an ad vanced guard to Vesoul, in the department of the Upper Saone, the , half 'of which is also covered by the invaders. A detachment of Cossacks from the same bead-quarters have been otderal tra snake an incursion exert , so. far as Re niremant, •Langrea, and Epinal, thus recon- . nottring and living upon the Departments of the Vosges and the Marne. Below these operations', General WITGENSTEIN passed the Rhine at Fort Louis, below Strasburgh, and pushed forward to Saverne, in the Department of the Lower Rhine, connecting pis operations with the main force on his left, through the corps of General %Vat:DE, at Sehlestat, between Colmar and Strasburg, and communicating on his right with that part of the force of General BLUCHER, which had crossed at Oppenheim. Still lower down the other divisions of the veteran BL - ocn ER'S Army, transported th ern selves to the left bank of the-River, and Possessed themselves of considerable territory between, the Moselle and Rhine. These parts of this splendid ,achievement,as we dilated upon them in our last ptib . lication, it is unnecessary here to repeat, suffice. all thosebtilliautinavein6is; 'Willa 'froth Man:- _beitn, at the junction &the Neekar-, to COblentz; the junction 'of the Moselle, hive prostritted the p'ride of \ France before the nverMiehning ItiiVver of the turther'dowVl still; 'die no less glorious events at t ologiVe add thitteldorff, extend the lioe of Victory oti the Mane till the apptoxitnate Sin-lila state of affairs at Deventer and Zutphen in the Yssel, and Nivatniten On thie Waal., thus drawing round thE Whole eastern and northern frontier of the vast 'empire of FrAnte a cordon ,6f 'Armies against which she cannot by possibility possess a•foree sufficient to protect her self. ,This wonderful stmicircle, from Turin to the Mouths of the Scheldt ; presents to view the mightiest armament that ever illustrated the an nals of war, or• fought for the independence bf nations.

General lit.uctiEn's Proclamations are the chiof things deserving of notice. Itwas reported just before this Paper was put to press, that an Officer hittl arrived with accounts of an action which had taken place before BrecLas, in , which the French had suffered considerably, with but little loss to the Allies. - .

On Saturday a Cabinet Coglncil was bad at Lord BATHURST'SOfike. A private letter from Holland of the llth says, "The frost has set in' intensely these two days. The minor fortresses will of course be assaulted immediately. The garrison of Gorcum sonic ;imes the 00 the Prugc;,tne, :trig on Outuitly matte all attempt to destroy the inOrtar batteries, by cannonade of three hours. From the batteries they turned on the gun-boats; which are moored down the river. The firing had no other effect than builiog the boats once or twice, killing a peasant on shore, and wounding A few men." Cleves; as well as Nimeguen, was evacuated by the French, on the of sth instant. The garrison of both those places amounting to about 1500, retired upon Grave and Weel. On the 9th instant, the whole corps of General BuLow, calculated at about 49,000 Men,. passed through Breda on their wa i y southward, and took up a position at Groot-Zander', Klein-Limdert, Rysbergen, and the surrounding places. They were to proceed onward the following day, hav ing received a fortnight-'s provisions. Lord CASTLEREAGH set off for the head-quar ters on Friday evening. His Lady and her suite were present at the reception of. the Princesses of OLIANBE, And are still at the Hague. Sir Tgomas GRAHAM, according to sonde Dutch letters, has reduced Batz, the only fortress that still held out in South Beveland. The Allies, upon entering Franche Cotnpte, issued an order, that out of respect to the me mory of General Picue•uu, the town of Arhois, which gave him birth, should be freed from all military occupation or requisitions. _ The state of ignorance in which the people of Paris and of France generally are kept. of passing events, is said to be most astonishing, and not less so the means by which it is accomplished.--- The posts are stopped to all countries and places occupied by the Allies, and this obstruction is almost the only means that are afforded of know ing their progress. No scruple, as we hare long known, is made of opening and detaining pri vate letters. The System of police, particularly among servants, who are made spies over the families in which they are employed, is carried to a state of mechanical perfection, and the "budgets or the - fruits of espionage are regularly conveyed to the office of the Minister of Police. A Gentleman, who was a friend of the Minister of Police, on one occasion in a select poly, had been guilty of ungarded expressions; it; was sent for, and warned' by the Minister, - whq, to pro duce the greater effect upon the person accused, quoted the sacred words—" When two or three are gathered together I am in the midst ofvou,'" as literally applicable to himself. The spies are not, _however, confined to servants, but many of the bet ter orders are employed in this disgraceful capacity. The inhabitants of - Paris were not, however, so ignorant respecting the general state of affairs in Holland as •might be imagined, owing to the post, by some accident, 'not having been stopped until the 6th of December mine -days after the French had quitted the Hague. Of the operations of the Allies they were kept in ignorance as much as possible, but events, - . the success`of which has created ,bursts of joy that have echoed through Europe, could not fail to be heard even in Paris, and to find many sympathising hearts, that feared est their. counte.nauces.should betray their felicity.
